Just bought the car (none runner) supposedly rings gone, is there any chance of telling by the vin tag that it is an STI V1, it says its an STI on the log book but dos'nt have the red top engine, it also says its an STI type uk which we know it is'nt and it was imported in 2002 can anyone help pls...
cheers chrissy

 

Unfortunately the STi1's were given teh same chassis code as the wrx so you will have no luck there..

Only version two onwards had the red manifold.

Your car should have, sti seats, intercooler waterspray, silver intercooler, and some other bits i cant remember.. i will pointmy best mate this way as he has an STi1.

cheers m8 and thanks.....

Pink bits on the silver strut brace on top of the struts too and the numbered badge on the drivers side strut

 

But different engine and transmission codes

 

Ken, engine is EJ20G IIRC on all models up to 96 and the gearboxs are the same.

Engine and gearbox ID should be different but all EJ20's up to 96 are the same code

Rob

 

Sti Engine is EJ20G DW2HD Wrx is EJ20G DW1HD
Sti Trans is TY752VB3CA Wrx is TY752VB3AA

 

I may stand corrected on the gearbox.... my lesson for the day..

However, i have a ver1 sti engine and a wrx engine and they have identical codes.

Maybe version 2 red top sti engines had different codes?

chrissy, The 'applied model code' on the VIN tag will tell you EXACTLY which car you have, even the number of doors it ought to have !! There is a site in the SIDC forum that l'm sure that someone will link you to [ way beyond my skills ] which lists them all up to 2001 If I remember.

Otherwise post up the applied code on here and we'll tell you what you are supposed to own. The red paint on the manifolds peels off really easily and it may just be that yours is worse than normal and after a steam clean it's got washed away.

Ken, wouldn't an STi 6 be an EJ20 5 or EJ20 K [ same thing] and wouldn't the Vers 6 transmission be TY75 4 ***** ??

if its in the march area of 94 wont have red top . probably be EJ20 GDE2PE.........as mine

 

Hi m8 these are the codes.

EJ20GDW2HE

Am I reading this wrong ? is this car a version one [ V 1 ] or a version 6 [ V1 ] ? what year is it?

David APi Engines / APi Impreza

 

Its a Version 1, not a Version VI Roman numerals David

 

David the cars a 94/95 m reg, so if it is a STI it'll be version 1..

cheers chrissy
