i am probly going to pick up a full drivetrian from a 02-03 rs just need to know if i need to find a different gas tank or if it should swap over.. ps i was searching and i couldn't find anything about the 02-03 gas tanks thank u


shaggy

 

bump?

 

Also bumping cuz I'm guessing he's talking about my drivetrain.

I wanted to know also if the tank swaps between chassis. I doubt it but has anyone tried?

BTW ****, post this Q in the tech forums too.

"--my personal pervious experiance in swaps;

2002 - FWD-> awd gas tank / disc brake conversion on 93 impreza"

Looks like some say yes, some say no, but these are what people think, not what they have done. Most people are saying legacy and forrester tanks work for sure... odd.

 

yeh i did post on tech fourms tho no reply yet and i also posted it on ulitamesubaru.net got a cpl response's tho same most have done the legacy swap.
http://www.ultimatesubaru.net/forum/...ad.php?t=40630
also read on that site that one guy that was one o fthe first to do the swap said he still has his stock gas tank with a ej20turbo so i dunno

 

well first of all what is the reason for the swap.

understandably it is a newer engine and it's a 2.0L instead of a 1.8 but is that it?

as I stated on the phone with you shaggy. there is ways to "make it fit" you need to do some research on the length of the chasis. if your chasis is substantually shorter than brandy's RS then it should be clear that it will NOT fit

If it doesn't fit are there ways that you can source an AWD version of your car just for the gas tank/rear x-member...etc.

you would still be able to use brandy's setup but you'll have to source those parts first you know?

good luck

The length is not in question... I've already checked into this when considering an STi into GC swap and confirmed that is the same. The only thing I could never confirm from someone who actually did the conversion was if the rear x-member and gas tank bolted up. The x-member looks to be the same visually, but I haven't seen the gas tank out of a GC yet.

Also this is a 2.5L engine, so the reason for the swap would be more power (around +60hp and torque) + AWD.

 

LOL.. oops. sorry thinking somethign else when I posted

yes you are right regarding the rear xmember and gas tank

Jon

 

It should be the same I bolted up the 04 rear crossmember but used my stock tank

 

thanks for ur reply's guys and yeah i found out it will fit
