how hard would this be and is there any1 out there who could do this??

 

unless you use an after market ecu with custom loom you are looking at the engine, loom and ecu. dash loom and speedo / rev counter.. it might then need linking into other looms which plugs will be different.

wow sounds more than its worth, cheers

 

Ive had this done and and like JGM said you will need ECU & custom wiring loom, i had an autronics ecu already in my classic but had to be swapped for the autronics sm4 version & it took kev at scoobyclinic about 2 days to do a custom loom my engine is the sti8 typeUK with the forged internals as standard running 420bhp it wont be cheap, SM4 fitted & mapped £1500, custom loom labour costs £35 per hour = £££££ however long it takes

KIDS DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME

 

420bhp as standard! Is that a typo?

 

standard sti internals can run to late 400s

 

sti v8 motor n underchassis mount straight everything into the classic GC8 body. even the radiator is straight bolt on just minor bracketing. m currently using fibreglass to also mount the guages cluster of the v8 into a v3 dashboard. will post pic soon once all is finish with the conversion

 

same as mate. got a JDM sti8 engine in my MY97 wagon. it aint cheap at all, but alot of fun had my swap done by GT-ART. i was told by gary there , that it was a "fookin nitemare". but hey-ho thats what i was paying them for .my car had a whole heap of re-wring, HKS-is ecu, etc, etc . loads spent aaaaaaaaaand still spending

 

how much is loads? (ball park figure) you can get an sc450 for around 12k which is all ready to go.
