Holy crap! Is that a 22b engine?

That wiring gave me a headache just seeing it!

Here's the 22b engine.

The intake manifold and some other parts are different so I guess that answers my own question. Hehehe.

Its an 04 STI motor, and gearbox.

And these too.

The whole rear subframe bolts right in too.

I thought about that, too. . . . I'm thinking custom axles. . .

Hell, you can't even do an STI drivetrain swap into a WRX wagon without the wheels sticking out more than they should . . . I would think the same would be more than true for a GC chassis.

22b fender flares would fix that.

Indeed. . . just figured, with the absence of those, custom axles were most-likely involved.

With wider fenders it'll be actually better than a 22b. That's such a beautiful thing that I want to cry. I think I finally understand women at weddings,

You should take that rebar out while you're doing the wiring... Then you can pull the heater box, and it makes it easier to run the wires where the factory ones are.

Going onto helping with my 4th swap - wiring blows. The mechanicals are easy.

its just the hubs. i know 2 people that did the swap, one used gc hubs and everything fit like a glove. the other just bolted anything that would bolt and they sticked out like mad. too bad for the one that stuck out though. someone tried to jack his car at gun point and he ran off. ended up hitting some water on a turn and wrecked the car

Damn, looking at the wiring mess makes me want to give it to someone else to do.

Why, is that your car?

Kelly · Post by **Kelly** » Thu Mar 24, 2005 8:34 pm

The wiring isnt as much of a mess as it looks like, controlled chaos. I cant recall what turbos on that thing either, but its not stock. Neither are the injectors/computer. Joel says it should be doing over 400hp. I cant wait to go for a ride.

skid542 · Post by **skid542** » Thu Mar 24, 2005 10:27 pm

400 at the crank I'm pressuming? Either way, damn, definately let us know how the ride was when you go.

Its a vf22 on the car

The wiring picture seems suitably blurry for the headache it would induce.
