Is my car a wrx or an early sti
hello all, i'm trying to find out as much info about my car as possible, using the details on the vin plate and referencing to this website
http://www.catherineandken.co.uk/sti/wrx.html it seems my car is a 1994 M reg wrx sa sti.
The numbers for reference are:
Model: GF8B58D,
Engine: EJ20GDW1NE
Transmission: TY752VB3CA
Option code: MF
Can someone else confirm whether this is correct?

Any pics
AFAIK they took the WRX 5 door off the production line and modded it into an STi............hence the WRX and STi have the same applied model number.

Some pics mate.
it's not just the model number that tallys up according to the chart in the link i posted, the engine number, transmission type and option codes all say early sti too. Although i'd rather have someone in the know confirm either way.
Ignore the red mudflaps, white wheels and turbo badges, they're not staying, i've not long got the car.

we had this a wile back, the sa in the end wasnt a sti
it was a wrx sa
a cut down version anyways.
all the site i went on said it was an wrx sa sti, but if you check the ecu code, it come up as a lot lower than even a wrx, having only just over 10.psi boost
bottom line mate, there a slightly cut down version of the wrx mate.

sa was 10. something psi the wrxare 11.47psi the sti 13. something psi
did have it all on file, but pc was formated.

GF8B58D
BX
BJ
MJ
MF

EJ20G DW1NE

TY752VB3CA

As per WRX STi 4 door, modified from production
tbh i have no idea what this means in terms of model etc, it's the only one where all my codes tally up.

on high boost it runs at roughly 16 psi which is just over a bar, it has got an ecu fitted that has been fettled with by a company called j speed from japan. low boost runs about 12 psi.

this is the ecu it has fitted. Can anyone confirm what this ecu is for as i'm struggling to find out what the code's related to?

alot of the models were listed. but not proper with the b mate, the models are listed with other numbers & letters but.
this was the sa model with the 'b'.
the tables say they were sti, but the ecu's were just over 10 psi
alot of the early classics had the same boxes.
the sti models should have an 'e'
again, luck up your ecu code.
then check the psi level. it should be lower than the wrx models

C&K strike again! In fairness to them, when they were researching this information was very hard to find.
Im going to guess that its a WRX SA (B-Series 'Wagon, common SA colour and C&K site mistake over the SA's engine and transmission codes suggesting that its an STI); which was a launch model WRX 'Wagon with standard equipment deleted to make it cheaper. The upshot was that it was lighter too and this fact was played-upon.

yep, this is what i was pointed to. the thread went on for ages.
but i went on what was in the tables found on the net.
but as i was told, the ecu, if it was an sti would have more psi. where as the sa wagon had a lot lower boost.
the early wrx/sti's ect had the same engines, uptill the sti v2
the sa was made just before.
i'm looking for the chart i got with what ecu went in what, and what psi level they had

Only way to know for sure is to pull the heads off and inspect as i have no receipts for the rebuild either.

Out of curiousity is it possible to plug and play another ecu as i want to change the one i have due to not knowing how it's been mapped etc?

Micky is right. The only lighter panel available on any production classic is the aluminium bonnet. Its a common misconception, due to their rubbish thinness.
