hey guys, can anyone confirm this:
i went to a mate at MTQ(local turbo place) and he said i may be very lucky.
that the ECU from the 03/99 WRX may bolt right into my 12/98 forester's harness, making this all nearly a bolt in deal?
if so, holyfckingawesome..!
so today, i was stripping the Impreza to prepare it for the sale of parts and the engine transfer.
when i had a good look at the dash and console.
i thought my forester is plain grey, wouldnt it be cool it the black parts out of the Impreza fit?
so, i thought i'd try
and wow it fit..!
went from this:
to this:
note the front of the console that sits under the dash is approx 1/2" shorter...
oh well, may build it up or something, but its 100% better than it was
now, i reckon i can fit the individual dash gauge pieces from the impreza into the forester cluster.
ran out of light to try.
anyone confirm if its doable?
will give it a go tomorrow
also start transferring the 4pot Impreza brakes over in the next day or so, too
now, lastly, i was in no rush to get the turbo engine transplanted, but Dave rocked over to have a look, and talked me into starting the Impreza.
battery was flat, needed a charge, etc.
then got her started, warmed her up and gave it a bit of a rev.
and now, i can't htfu enough...!
will be looking into that as soon as possible, after the brakes are done
also looking if the black carpet from the WRX will fit, tomorrow, tho i'm thinking i might be pushing my luck, lol
thanks for your time
