If you really want to get rid of the pesky starter heat soak problem, the best solution is to relocate the starter to the intake side of the bellhousing.It's also a great way to make a ton of room available on the exhaust side for a turbo! All AE92 GT-S models should have come from the factory with the C52 transaxle.
How can you tell? Pop the hood, and look at the tranny's bellhousing. There should be one starter mounting boss (hump) where the factory-located starter is. See it? Now, on the opposite side (intake side), you should be able to see another hump, approximately at the same height as the exhaust side hump.
Now that you've confirmed that you have the C52 tranny, you can go ahead and begin the starter relocating process. Be warned that to do a proper job (is there any other way?), you'll need to actually pull the tranny, pressure plate assy, and flywheel. Why? Because you need to access the "rear end plate."
