Default 08 Jdm Hatch Sti engine into 1998 Jdm gf8 Sti

Hi there , been over 10 years I think since my last post good to see the forum still going

Has anyone on here or know of this swap being done ?

I bought a Hatch Sti from Japan and removed the engine

I have a Link wrx11 plugin to run the engine in when fitted to the classic,

Plan is to merge the looms so I can retain the factory gf8 dash

I have all the factory wiring diagrams and pin outs for both ecus and an idea of what needs to you done but I was wondering does anyone have experience here doing a loom merge for this swap

Iwire in the US used to do this but no longer do

Willing to pay someone knowledgeable for time

any help much appreciated

Thanks

ps . I own the wagon since 2009 so it has a lot of sentimental value before anyone asks why 😂

I'm shocked that iWire have stopped doing it. Might be worth speaking to Matty B as he knows people.
