09 WRX Swap (Who wants to be the First!!) - Subaru Impreza GC8 & RS Forum & Community: RS25.com

**ECS Performance** · 05-27-2009, 07:53 AM

Hey Guys,

We just acquired our first 09 WRX Power plant. Who wants to be the first to try and put this bad boy into a GC? I think we can even get the dashboard setup to swap over as well. PM Us if your interested!!

I don't have the money to pay for that swap (Although if you wanted to "donate" it I'd be willing to plaster ECS stickers all over my car

), but I've got a quick question for you:

Do you forsee any difficulties in swapping over '08/09 drivetrains to a GC versus the more typical '02-07 into GC swaps? I'm just curious if anything major has been changed by Subaru with the new bodystyle.

Thats just badass in its purest form!

+1 to whoever has the bank account to do it!

Dang, that engine looks more like its from a Legacy, with the composite intake manifold, and the square intercooler.

You should just sell it to some whiny 08 WRX owner.
