So i'm playing with the idea of v8 STi swap. That means that i would be selling my entire power line (i.e. motor, tranny, ecu, all the way to rear hubs... all of it).

Currently it is making 296.6whp @ 6840 with EQ tuning reflash just done on 5/22/09. I checked my compression and it is a health 140psi all the way around. About 90,XXX miles.

Perfect for a RS swap. Just seeing if there is an interest in it. IF not, i just may do my own RS

So what do you think? Any interest? Or friends you may know?

 

Wrong forum...

 

my bad. Mod's feel free to move to the right place.

 

rejected hahah

 

hahahaha.... yeah i was.

 

Its not the wrong place just to get a feel of it... He's not even ready to sell and wants some advice.

 

damn this would be great for those who want to do auto to manual swap as well.

 

Definitely a good deal for the RS guys, but caution - you're not going to get very much because cheap WRX parts are so abundant. When I did my engine swap I was pretty shocked what I ended up getting so little for the various WRX components - and this was 4 years ago, when lots of RS guys were still upgrading to WRX stuff. Nowadays with WRX being <$10k and STI around $15k, there's less demand for upgrade parts.

 

hey tony, just wondering what you got on it(setup), 296whp is music to my ears

 

Thank You!

I agree, cuz if it were to go, it's all going (pedals and all).

TY verc. I was thinking the same thing. But hopefully it's not as abundant anymore now <--- wishful thinking. But on a positive note, sti stuff/swaps are cheaper too..

sup resty! Been a while. how's the suby? What have you done to it so far?

pmed you.

 

don't need another 2.0, but i'm still interested in that other part we talked about a while back. never heard back from you, but get at me if you're still down.

 

If you want more power/performance I would recommend parting out the car, selling it and then buy a used STi. That way your platform is already set with a 6-MT, Brembos, 2.5L, etc..

It wont be the most original car but it would be so much easier and you'd get a much better bang/buck ratio.

My 2 cents.

 

I might be interested, depending on the price

 

same as ^

 

not cost effective to do a motor+drivetrain swap, but bugeyes rule all!
