i dont know where this came from but i want one

the japanese warning sticker says something about being careful to open or not opening it above 80kmh. ill have to have a better look at it hah yep. RA owners know the 'deaf in one ear' syndrome all too well ;p apparently its even worse in the back seat

lol yup try doing this first before saying its just a swap in ;p its a lot of work getting v3/v4 to fit in v1/v2

think you need a shorter driveshaft though? the 6speed gearbox is slightly longer?

remove that fancy blow off valve (vent to atmo i bet) and try a factory one. see how you go. if that cures it, either stick with it or readjust your aftermarket bov. or replace if its worn.

lol not from personal experience, but i believe the newer 6speed mounts have more bolt holes (6?) 5 speed are 4 bolt with a pin on each side. you can mate a 6speed gearbox to a 5speed engine, ignoring the extra boltholes. feel free to correct.. its just what i've read on here previously.

lucky to be alive it seems, some lessons in life are learned the hard way. thanks for posting up.

you can have your current setup upgraded/changed to a 'bar and plate' system. a radiator/intercooler shop can refit using your current end tanks. very positive feedback from this method. some companies make specific bolt in replacements, ie ARC who i'm sure have made one for V1/V2. also check out MRT. expensive though. the water sprayer will work on any intercooler/radiator as long as there is airflow and the water is a fine mist.

i've heard that you can glaze your syncros?

hah sweet. same goes, mines practically a v3 sti hiding in a v2 sti ra chassis i'm in Dunners. i'll be in Invers on the 5th April for the Teretonga playday, if you've still got it then i'll come say hi

or XNC , pretty much the most basic version afaik its wired up, sure, which means its connected to the +Ve injector rail, which may have confused him ..gees id love to take that car for a drive.. i've modified mine so much that i've forgotten what stock was like..

yar of course but i think the question has come up because there may not be 98 up north for the megameet/trackday

ninja edit!

correct make an adapter. i wish i did ;p

nice. some oddities, maybe it was optioned. engine bay pic please

pics or it didn't happen!!

V2 sti has a red top V2 sti ra is unpainted, with 5th injector

yeah what years? ra, ra-sti or ra-ltd? i believe v4+ all open until the later semi-closed

word. from the information i have: V2 WRX RA closed V2 WRX STI RA closed V3 WRX RA ??? V3 WRX STI RA closed v2 is EJ20G and was 95/96 so depends.. angled intercooler is v2 v3 is EJ20K and has different pistons, they have a shorter skirt than the V2's

There is also the issue of what pressure they have been tested at. For some reason its 3bar in the states, and JDM is 2.5bar?

wildturkey that's a really nice and tidy solution. i want it!

yeah just for the record the backups existed, but we did not have access. i'm sure this is mentioned somewhere.. nevermind its all past now and we are moving forward

V3 STI / STI RA / STI R are all the same ecu [6S] and runs orange AFM with yellow injectors. V4 STI / STI RA / STI R are all the same ecu [75] and also runs orange AFM with yellow injectors what code is your current ecu? 7S ?

lol ichiban i suppose u just leave gold lying around too eh?
