Yup its is Stan's Old RS.

You can, but its leaking all over, I think most of the seals need replacing. But it's been running strong since the headgaskets were replaced by Davin at R&D back in 2005.

 

Swap Update: Thanks John for the engine hoist and stand. I'll probably get the old motor out tomorrow and the new one on the stand to do some pre drop-in work on it.

I found the Spiider DCCD controller you were talking about.

Pretty good price too, I ended up buying one. I guess we'll see how good it is once its wired up.

 

PM'd you about the axle, rear end and rear hubs. lmk. If BattleD01 doesn't want your leaky motor, i'll take the heads.

Joe

 

pm me with price.

 

no prob. so i get to test drive the car when your done right?
i guess your rs will finally be faster than my lgt

 

Hold on guys lol... let me finish my swap then I'll make a part out thread

 

good luck with the swap my swap is still not done due to problems with parts too hope yours goes good

 

I'm off these days too. I thought I was the only person to have such crappy days off lol.

 

Yup kinda in the same boat, I'm still missing/waiting for parts.

Wiring is done though... Yay.

I need to source/order a few things.

Some stuff off the top of my head:
axle seals on hub's/transmission
a few assorted nuts and bolts
some OEM hoses/pipes for the PCV system
fuel hoses
one step colder spark plugs
a wrx MAF/intake

Gonna drop in the walbro fuel pump today, hope it fits.
I'm also trying to get my old AC compressor on the new motor as well, I'm gonna see if the old alternator/AC bracket from my old motor fits on the new one.

 

i think i bought your old seats, that garage looks familiar hahah

 

yah my wiring in the front is done but my fuel pump harness is bad so i just wired it to the battery to see if the car will run and it drives alright. any ways if you need some help let me know i can help as much as i kno

 

Yup yes you did


Update:Aug. 15 2009

Its been a while since I wrenched on my swap. Been busy playing another MMO, Darkfall Online and sleeping...

I got the walbro fuel pump in over the past week and snapped a few more pics.

Old one out!


Its a bit greasy


The wiring is going back in tomorrow


Still waiting for the twinscroll downpipe to arrive


Moar goodies

 

I miss doing projects...I feel like breaking my car again and putting it back together just for kicks. Can't wait to see the progress!!

 

Member Journal worthy....Maybe we should start one for the HIIC peeps.

 

First major swap bump, was getting ready to drop in the trans when I noticed I was sent the wrong axles >_<

Female to female? WTF



Might be a long shot but does anyone have axles (male to trans) that I could test fit?
Or if you know which one I can use that would be helpful.
