I ianmulvihill Sunday Drivers Jan 21, 2009 #1 Just wondering has anyone done it, is it possible?? Once you have the ECU and controller switch, can you wire it into the loom with the right connections?? Also by having the right drive shafts hubs and brakes!! Cheers

AndyC Well-known member ISDC Club Member Jan 21, 2009 #2 Really not worth the money in my opinion. But to answer your questions....you need the gearbox, driveshafts, DCCD ECU/controller as far as I know

AndyC Well-known member ISDC Club Member Jan 21, 2009 #5 the type R version 4 yes. Normal version 4 STi I dont think had the close ratio gearbox.
D dohcturbo Octane Boostaholics Jan 21, 2009 #7 the early type r's are ment to have a closer ratio than the newer ones alright. iv heard it said a few times but dont know how true it is.
