Bought an 09 wrx hatch as a roller with trans and suspension, and now find myself building the EJ255 for it because of your videos. Always wanted to build my hatch, but your short block videos gave me the confidence to do so. Getting some .025 oversized mains in tomorrow and then I should be able to wrap up the short block.

The only difference in the starter for the 5spd and the 6 spd is the hight of the gear to account for the larger flywheel. If you plan on keeping your 5 speed pull style clutch you have to use the 5 speed starter. And vice versa

Have an 09 WRX sedan. Can I do the same with (up to) 2014 STI sedan suspension components to do the swap?

What drive shaft did you use for the swap? Im looking into doing the swap on my ‘14 Wrx hatch. From what I’m finding out the ‘15+ drive shaft doesn’t work on the GR chassis, is that true?

What are you doing with the ray gram lights ! I have a silver wrx hatch :(

Hey I’m 6 speed swapping my 2011 wrx with a 2018 sti 6 speed does the 2018 drive shaft fit the 2011 wrx?

Would the 15+ sti driveshaft work for the 08-14 wrx swap or would I need a 08-14 sti driveshaft.

So can you swap a 15 and up wrx 6 speed into a gd wrx I was thinking you can stay stage 2 and get more mileage ?

I have an off the wall question can you put a 6 speed STi swap on a Forester X? If so are there any benifits? I ask because I was quoted like 7k to replace my transmission. So for that cost I can get a 6 speed.

Hey man I blew my 5 speed now I have a 2017 Sti trans rear diff with axles and drive shaft also have the sti diff mount what else do I need I’m about ready to drop and replace these parts

Have a crucial? You mentioned an adapter for the knuckles to fit wrx coilovers. Do you have a link or any recommendation? I've purchased fortune auto coils for wrx and learned later I'd have to keep 5x100 knuckles. Not a big issue but if I can get beefy hubs I'd rather go that route

Where do I find the parts to do this swap. Im going from 05 RS to sti 6 speed. Im dropping an the IAG Performance / Crest CNC Stage X 2.5L Subaru Billet Aluminum Short Block For WRX, STI, Legacy GT and Forester XT. Built power output rating 1000+BHP. Thanks

Quick Question, would all those parts also fit on a 2005 Impreza RS?

I know you can use the dccd when you convert to a 6 speed but can you do the vdc also

Isn’t it better to connect the trans and motor and drop it in from the top or bottom

hi please help all the way from africa, i want to buy a forester SH 3rd gen they have ej20 and ej25 engines but auto. which 6 speed manual is good to put in there and which differential. please help me.

So I have an 17 STI which has a blown motor, there's a local 2015 WRX engine with low miles available, can I just swap the engine?

What year 6 speed do I need to get in order to swap it into my 99' Forester?

Gears are bigger on the Sti, and older sti trans has the Trans fluid dipstick, I believe the 07 and up only has overfill plugs doesn't have dipstick. Gear ratio is also different on certain yrs. I know 07 has longer gear ratios.

Finally the video showing why you should just get an sti instead on a wrx if you are planning on modifying the car. Id say it’s even better to buy a blown up sti over a wrx if looking to run actual power because you can build the engine up how you like and you’ll have everything you need already on the car. I’ve seen too many people I know blow up transmissions because they saved a little money buying a car that was a tiny bit cheaper than what they should’ve bought.
