haven't updated this post for a while, have recently put in an sti twinscroll motor, involved basically stripping the interior and engine bay to put in the custom GF8 loom that i bought with the engine (cheers foxey)

1st post updated with the current setup

here's some horror pics from the conversion

bringing the new engine home


pulling the bits i needed off the old engine, yes all those red tags are labels so i had an idea where everything needed to go back together

new loom & ecu in, part of dash back in


new engine in, almost there


and done


big thanks to everyone who helped me, especially brad for answering all my e-mails and checking it all on the laptop that it was working as it should

cheers to brendan (darkness) for letting me hack bits of loom out of his wreck to get everything working again, was quite amazed how different some of the loom was from forester to wrx of the same year, bloody subaru hahaha

great satisfaction doing it all myself in my christmas holidays at my own leisure, took about 4 weeks just spending a few hours here & there in the garage...... when my mrs let me LOL
