sti injectors in gtb??

[Green Machine]

Hello,

So I recently purchased a gtb legacy with a blown headgasket as a new project car. I know very little about building subarus and have only done about 5 honda engine swaps and afew other subaru/nissan straight swaps in my time but im learning as I go which is fine.

Plan was to do the head gasket on this car until I can find an eg33 in good enough condition to swap in. How ever while pulling this engine out I have noticed the injectors have yellow clip bits on them. Does this mean they are sti injectors? or did some gtbs come with different injectors standard? The car I have purchased was from a mate who just daily drove it for 2 years until headgasket blew and it is unmodified.

TL;DR Do some gtbs come with sti injectors? are all yellow subaru injectors sti?

Thanks Haden

96/97 BG chassis GTB's came with the Yellow injectors, and they are 440cc, the same as V3/4 STi, and they will be side feed. V5/6 and onwards I believe went to top feed. Hence why V3/4 wiring is so similar between the two models, they are the basically same engine, except for turbo and exhaust configuration.

Cheers, Might just part this engine out and go straight to the 6 cyl.

Does that mean that the block and head are the same as v3/v4 sti block and head aswell? Or are they more similar to a standard wrx engine? Have done abit of searching and people say both ways.

Anyone know for sure whats the same?

Thanks again.

BG5-c's are pretty much a fatter sti with a taller ccog-swapper and stinker beer crates
