much respect to DIY'ers,...

Good luck and cant wait to see end results...

 

Love the "all blue" theme.

I'd like to bless you in advance for not encountering problems through your build. May the trunk monkey watch over you while you attack your car. Have fun!!

 

GOODLUCK!

=D Look forward to seeing it done.

 

May your build be a safe passage into greater drivability, steering, and power.

 

Soo lucky! This kind of build would be so fun to do! GL.

 

DAMN thats dope! GOOD LUCK!

 

sick! cant wait to see it finished

 

hmm now we just need to find time we're both free so you can borrow my hoist and engine stand.

 

hey let me know what you're going to do with your old engine and tranny. i see a possible transplant.

 

have fun! I will be starting my swap as soon as I get home also.

 

Too late lol, already ran into issues early on. But they are rather small... and plentiful >_<

I need to order a couple parts before I am able to drop in the new motor. I'm missing a few hose bits off the JDM motor. The JDM wiring harness was hacked so i had to source a wrx one to repair it.
The downpipe I recieved was the wrong one. Since it would have been a stock one I opted to source an aftermarket cat-less one.
The outside axle seals on the diff and trans look a little damaged so I'll need to replace those as well.

 

Wow, can't wait to see its final result! BTW, what type of JDM motor is that?? EJ20G,K,207??

 

It's a JDM version 8 EJ207 (VF-37), and JDM 6-speed

 

How much did shipping end up costing you?
