Is this possible ? If so what would I need to change/modify to allow it to work.

STi4's are from Sept 1997 to Aug 1998 - Is this piston slap territory ?

 

i thought piston slap was only associated with uk cars 97-98...??

Just been down this road. There is alot you need to do to make it fit, more than most would think...

also it needs alot of electrical re-wiring due to there being only two pick ups on the crank for an STi and four for a WRX.

If you need any bits tho i have some left over from my attempt. i didnt finish as i just came of ban and wanted my car back and im selling it soon...

 

So is it worth it ?

 

i would say for the hassle and the cost you would be better tuning or rebuilding a WRX lump...


but its upto you, how long can you spare the car as i promise it will be off road for a while...

 

Its off the road just now, since last Saturday when the current engine expired. Car is sitting with engine 75% ready to be lifted out.

 

Caz,

It can b done w/o 2 much difficulty m8, if u r at the McBig one next Satuarday gimme a shout and u can have a look at mine. I fitted one in "big red" last year when the original engine gave up BTW remember though I dont run a Subaru ECU.
