Cost to change TT to a single on BE

[B4 I was 250T]

Just wondering what it would cost to change from TT to single. Just a figure inc changes to ECU etc. Thanks all

DIY or paying a shop

Diy under a grand eeeeasy

paying someone... go buy a wrx it makes more sense

No offence to our WRX owners but I don\'t wanna rex. Besides, I still owe 6 1/2 on the car, spilt too much blood, had too many headaches to give her up. Plus I\'ve always owned Legacys

Thats what I felt like too, I like the idea of a rex but aren\'t really keen for the popo attention and all that goes along with them, interior wise i like the BE\'s a hell of a lot more than older rex\'s. And i really don\'t think i could live with all the blue in the interior.

Talk to subout, part of subworx. Don\'t know if they\'re in the right part of the country for you but they quoted me 2800 for a unspecified version sti conversion with turbo and ecu or 3800 for full v8 conversion with group n ecu.

The only problem i feel would be the small block as you\'d be getting new heads and all that but whether the legacy block is strong enough for any power increase. Just thinking out loud though, someone with more experience could say otherwise.

Just frost plug the other side(oil and water); don\'t need new heads: Just change the gaskets to attain the correct cr for the ecu. Wiring is a piece of piss following gazzy2000\'s wiring guide; You can mod the TT exhaust so you don\'t need to change xmember, you\'ll need wrx headers and uppipe, Y pipe(make sure it\'s going to fit: I\'ve had issues, I think because V7 tmic, not sure yet) and wrx inlet.

You\'ll want to replace the oil and water return on drivers side head with ones from a wrx, If you aren\'t changing heads/block.

Just so you know...changing a head gasket to suit whatever car the ecu came out of is NOT going to give you the correct CR. It will change it but if youre getting that serious with it going to an engine reconditioner who will calculate it for you is the only way to really get it accurate.

I think most people just run with it as its been proven ST conversions dont blow up running A8 non sti V5/6 ecus. Members on here made 200kw atw iirc minimal mods.

A7 runs fine too.

Well yea it would its v5/6 non sti a forester one would work as well they all run yellow side feeds. Think people have run sti ones no prob also. $80 for a dyno run will let you know how much boosty you can wind in etc before going bang.

Sti ones knock hellabad. Timing is too advanced. I know A7 works. Because its what i have in my bh lol.

You know someone whos first hand tried an sti one?

[94 Leone]

Gazzy tried, read his ST conversion thread. It was either there or the ST conversion writeup it was written.
