I have an 03 WRX Impreza Wagon, which I have pulled out the previous JDM non AVCS EJ205 that is drive by cable. The “new” single AVCS EJ205 that I have bought from JDM of California is a EJ205 that has a drive by wire throttle body. Which that means the engine that I got had come out of an JDM 04 Forester. Which is also means that I have to swap over the cable throttle intake manifold and swap the exhaust manifold from my previous EJ205. I’m tagging along with ya’ Bucky!

Certainly appreciate the build Bucky, to be blunt I am amazed it took this long for someone to colab with iWire so formally and get this out in the community. Sure there are loads of other builds, the old Nasioc, iClub, etc. (folks like unabomber) around that show you a load of pictures and walkthroughs, a good solid detailed instructions COULD be pieced together, but not like Bucky's ;)

Oh good to know about that clutch fork bolt. I wasn't aware of that, I'm pulling the engine/transmission on my 04 STI soon and I'd have probably gotten hung up on that.

Also, slide it out. Don't crank the bolt on it. If you break it in there it's a royal pain. Still possible, but you'll hate life. To remove the cap it's a 10mm Allen, but you can use a 10mm bolt and two nuts on the bolt. The shaft is m6 size. I don't remember where I got the bolt from, but one of the bolts on the engine is the same size, lol.

@cordcd7 3 жыл бұрын

@@psedog When I swapped my 5 speed for the STi 6, I couldn't separate the engine from the trans no matter how I tried. The through bolt was the first thing to come out as it's listed on nearly every trans swap write up. Very deceiving as well because there was the split between engine and trans, as shown in the video, but no dice. What kept mine together was the throwout bearing itself. It was clipped in to the crankshaft and had to be released to split. I'll see if I can find the post or site that I found the info on. Edit: as I read through the various threads on NASIOC, the memory of the swap is coming back to me. It's possible that I hadn't pulled the clutch fork out all the way and it was still engaged to the throwout bearing. It allowed the few mm gap between but wouldn't let them fully separate. I'll know in the near future when I go to pull the EJ205 out in favor of a different engine.

I agree on not cutting corners on the wiring. iWire did my wiring and AQMotorsports did my ej205 swap. After priming it started right up on the first crank. Over a year of problem free driving so far.

Very well done. Honestly, I'm surprised by the relatively low cost. That said, it's fantastic to folks like iWire to help out. Finding true Subaru specialists is a rarity. Thanks again for posting this! Although it makes me look at this huge pile of parts in my dining room and cry a little as I have no garage and have to depend on a local mechanic shop. They're good, but I really wish I could participate.

*Great* vid. Thanks, Bucky & iWire! 👍 I have the *exact* same engine/transmission combo happening, just going into a 98 Legacy GT. Q: Are you reusing the AC compressor from the RS? Did you have to reuse (and modify) the mounting bracket? Q: Did you reuse the RS's starter? Q: Did you loosen the transmission mount to help with jacking it up? BIG shoutout to Lance on the long transmission bolts. It wasn't until I had them all out that I noticed some were different. 😎👍
