What mods need to be done to drop an 05 ej205 sti in to a 01 bugeye.

 

If you're from the states, there is no 01 bug eye.. Are you talking about a GC?

 

There is no such thing as an STI EJ205 motor.

 

It's an EJ207 right?

 

If it's an '05 STI w/ a 2.0L, yes.

 

If it has a 5 at the end of the numbers representing the liters its a WRX. (EJ205,Ej255). If its a 7 its an STI (EJ257,EJ207)

USDM STIs are only ej257s

 

And Bug eyes are USDM MY02. Looks like your from AUS? Looking at your avatar pic. Then your MY is a year ahead of USDM. And what your talking about now makes sense. Yes, the 2005 Sti ver8 Ej207 will fit into your 01 WRX. Everything fits right in, only problem is wiring the AVCS.

 

Because us Americans feel the 2.5's are needed? haha.

Thanks though.

JDM is 20X
USDM is 25X
?

 

They gave us the 2.5 because we has **** gas

 

Are V8 EJ207 DBW?

 

04 STI was a 2.0L

 

The numbers I said were the same.

I see what you did there....

 

No. US 02-04 WRX are 2.0L, including the 04 STI. 05 and up are 2.5.
20X = 2.0L
25X = 2.5L
For Japan, while they were competing, the block was always 2.0 to meet rules to use a stock block in Rally.

 

Well yeah.. 02-05 WRX was 205
06+ 255.

For US

 

Sorry, yeah, MY 06 and up are 2.5, but they came out in 05
