Interested to see your experience with this swap. I have a 08 wrx, 6 speed swap, JDM ej20x, built block/built heads, functioning quad avcs, closed deck, blouch 🐌, link ecu, full e85/flex conversion… It can make power, but takes some configuring, that never seems to end lol
Thanks For the support! This one was mostly disassembled when I got it, so it was extra easy. But I can take a fully together one, and have a motor out in 1.5-2.5 hours depending how quickly I work, so they’re not too bad. The non turbo ones are much easier.
is the ej20x equivalent to the ej257?? I though it was a wrx equivalent, I was actually thinking of swapping one into my 1996 Legacy wagon. what would be a better swap maybe H6?
Equivalent, not sure. But it’s dual avcs like the 08+ sti, so it’s a nice drop in, hopefully. Anything will be a good amount of work except what the car was meant to have/directly plugs in
People do them yes. These ej20x’s are dual avcs. 04-07 sti are single avcs (intake only). Because of that, exhaust avcs needs to be deleted/deactivated. I’m not 100% sure how that works, but it’s doable. Some google searching/Facebook posts on groups should help clarify.
Love it bro ! Keep ‘em going
Appreciate it!
Wish subarus weren’t that expensive to rebuild with forged parts.
Good job budy keep it up
Another great video.
Thanks!

Mine is no where near this modded/built. This is a few simple bolt ons. You’d sounds roudy!
Love the content! Are Subaru engines that easy to pull?
Thanks

Looking to do the same thing in the same car *17 STI.
Wondering where you got the motor from?
This was from jdm racing motors, I think. I’d have to double check. Feel free to shoot me a pm on another platform

Would this swap work on a early GD sti? 04-07?

Hey guy ,im from Mauritius ,do you source parts to this part of the world
I could but shipping would be very very expensive
Can you swap a ej20x in to a usdm 04 wrx?
You would have to delete intake and exhaust avcs, and I think it would be pretty lazy/slow then. I think you’d be better off with a ej205 replacement
