Installing a 6 Speed STI Transmission into My Bugeye WRX!

[@albertocandelario9084]

Very NICE!!! (Borat voice) looking forward on seeing it start for the first time.

[@beckers1330]

That SG9 STI trans is almost the same as an STI, apart from the ratios. Your box will have super long range gear set with .707 to 1 in 6 gear.

[@_ivan__the__great_]

I was wondering how it was going to be. Curious to feel the ratios. Hopefully soon!

[@mraarontorres]

Nice just did the same 6 speed swap into my bugeye , but EVERYTHING has been upgraded aside craving open the tanny, act clutch, act street light fly ... all upgraded bushings.. kartboy short throw I used auto d shaft to keep rearend oem tho

[@vq_jayy]

Starting my STI swap after watching this anything I might need extra? 04 wrx

[@Gunma_garage]

I hear an auto impreza driftshaft will work for a 6spd swap.FlatIrons tuning mentioned this

[@_ivan__the__great_]

My buddy mentioned that too, it’s dope that it works!

[@Gunma_garage]

Lego sets hahaha

[@_moonxchld9926]

Yesss! im so glad to see everything is going good with the car!! I can't wait to see the car on the road. ill see you at subiefest!

[@_ivan__the__great_]

🤗

[@jdstark24]

Hey man. My buddy just bought an 04 wrx hatchback and in it is a 5 speed micro polished cryo treated transmission. Do you know anything about this transmission? We were told that even if the car is totaled, that we need to save the trans. But we don't know what makes it so valuable. Do you have any information on this transmission? Many thanks

[@jakelonghorn9852]

Well if it’s truly micro polished it’s worth prob 5-6k for the tranny alone

[@Gunma_garage]

Hi5 for a lift and friends and tools bro Love this sh** 🤘 I do it everyday and come home and do it more lol.

[@_ivan__the__great_]

Love to hear it bro🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@nathantillotson735]

May i ask how do i find a jade to also get a ton of sti parts from!? Congratulations man!

[@_ivan__the__great_]

Lol gotta keep an eye out on the marketplace

[@winstonbrowne3167]

Those lateral links in the back are not sti they are whiteline adjustable lateral links

[@_ivan__the__great_]

Oh dope, thank you for that I had no idea!

[@faviodonovan3850]

where i bought it from for your trans six gears

[@Vurbecs]

Nice video bro. Just bought a v7 wrx but I’m thinking of doing a sti engine swap in the future can I do a straight engine swap or do I need the 6 speed gearbox ?

[@_ivan__the__great_]

Thank you! The engine is more extensive of a process. You have to change the dash and engine harness. For the transmission swap, I believe iWire makes an adapter harness

[@v8_sami]

I have the same sti wheels on my legacy. These oem sti wheels can take a beating I tell you.

[@_ivan__the__great_]

Haha they honestly feel like they could, eventually they’ll be my winter wheels when I take trips up north. Excited to find out!

[@TylerSavin]

Will any STi trans including 2019+ work with 2003 wrx. Assume you need a shorter drive shaft

[@_ivan__the__great_]

The transmission casing is roughly the same for all STI 6 speed transmissions, what changes throughout the years is the internals (Mostly gear ratios) and the wiring. I'm not too sure what years work for you outside of 02-07, but I would suggest staying in that year range. Its best to buy an entire swap with the differential, wheel hubs and brakes included. 2019+ STI transmissions are also, by far the most expensive. I'm also not entirely sure if the axles from an older STI ] will work with a newer transmission.

[@edwingonzalez334]

I have a bugeye wrx can I just do a straight swap change the 5speed into a sti 6speed with the engine it has or so I need the sti engine?

[@_ivan__the__great_]

Yes you can! The engines are roughly the same externally. The 2.5 gets the extra displacement from space made inside!

[@edwingonzalez334]

Thanks man like the content as well and I’m assuming you have the Sti engine as well?

[@_ivan__the__great_]

Thank you, I appreciate you watching!! And i don’t know…. Maybe🤭

[@razorramon3256]

What changes if I wanted to do the same swap but my bugeye is a automatic

[@_ivan__the__great_]

Hm I’m not sure, I believe the dash harness may have to change for a manual swap

[@Christosan88]

Is the rear subframe an Sti one or stock wrx?

[@_ivan__the__great_]

Hmmm I’m not entirely sure. We got a couple STIs at the shop rn so I’ll compare and let you know

[@devil_samuraix6176]

how you deal dccd?

[@WesKaine]

Forester STI 6 speed doesn't come with DCCD

[@brothereeves1355]

Did you use the stock hubs or did you have to get sti hubs??

[@_ivan__the__great_]

The car came with STI hubs fortunately

[@tnyce616]

How you just gonna walk away like that 😂😂😂😂 He wasn’t even done talking

[@_ivan__the__great_]

LOL I said the same thing to myself when I edited this🤣
