you should find all your answers here....

 

i hope you have the a turbo cross member........cause i didnt see it in the parts list of the swap you bought.

 

This is what Jess is referring too...


Motor (Complete, intake and exhaust manifolds, IC, turbo, etc-obvious stuff )
-Crossmember (You can use the USDM WRX or STi X-member, but you will have to shim your control arms. The only direct bolt-on x-members are the true GC8 ones and the USDM Legacy turbo ones)
-Front Sway Bar (USDM WRX wagon if you're using a WRX or STi x-member, Legacy turbo or true GC8 bar if you're using the respective x-members)
-Full Exhaust (anything for a USDM WRX should work, some fit better than others)
-Fuel Pump (at the very least a USDM WRX F/P or you could go with a Walboro 255lph F/P)
-Fuel Pump Controller
-Full Wiring Harness (This is everything from the harness on the intake manifold to the connectors for the o2 sensors, MAF, ECU, etc, to the plug in the rear harness for the fuel pump controller)
-WRX MAF sensor
-WRX o2 sensors
-WRX ECM
-WRX Powersteering assembly (You need the pump, remote reservoir, and the lines that connect this to the steering rack)
-WRX throttle cable (You need this for a perfect fit if you're swapping a car that was not DOHC from the factory)
-Clutch (If you're re-using your factory NA transmission, you will need to re-use your NA flywheel as well, and get an upgraded NA clutch. I'd recommend a ACT or Spec clutch, I've heard good things about the AST ones too)
-Boost Control (Simplest is the factory boost solenoid w/ ristrictor pill)

 

^^^thanks Walt...........I really just gave him a starting point there is lots and lots to read and a lot not even in there but in service manuals. All I can say is good luck and have fun.

 

^^^ No probs Jess.. Hope your swap is coming along smoothly!! ^_^

 

thanks for the link and list. I might be starting it this weekend at the craft center.

 

Walter needs to do this swap too! Its too bad you cant buy Milo's stock engine

 

i would help but i leave for cali this week and won't be back till the 3rd. GL i know i also wanted to help jess but work had me working everyday till i leave for my trip

 

if you have the turbo crossmember you can have the mechanicals done in a day the wiring will be fun ...study the wiring diagrams from both cars its not plug and play first you have to cut the engine harness from the body harness subaru had the bright idea of taping the engine harness and boby harness together then there are about 15 wires or so you have to solder in from you body harness to the wrx ecu

 

lmk if you have any questions i can try and answer all i can ill try to make it out on sunday if you are workign on it

 

i'd love to see this, i'll give you mad props for finishing it over the weekend. ECS (east coast swappers) on the mainland did it in one day, i was like holy sh*********t!!!

 

Walt what car do you have?

 

its officially going on this weekend at the auto craft center on schofield....I need help! so anyone who is interested let me know how much your time is worth so I can get this finished

 

it would probably be easier if you have the entire donor car to scavenge odd n ends parts...
