did them myself. bought some single xenon bmw projectors with d2s ballasts and capsules. wired in a single relay circuit to the stock headlight harness. they turned out pretty well i think.
heres an update on some things ive done this week:
finished building adapter brackets to install my perrin fuel rails and agency power 740cc injectors into my customized 99 intake manifold. used all stainless hardware to put eveything together - all looks good!
Pics:
just ordered a longer belt and started work on a flipped alternator adjustment bracket so i can move the alternator where the a/c compressor was. cant wait to get this manifold flipped!!
also installed an sti badge (+29hp) got it to go with my genuine sti fog covers and since i do have sti parts, i didnt really feel too bad about sporting the sti badges haha
Thanks man, appreciate it. The E-manage it almost wired in. I'm just paranoid it won't fire up the first time:/
And yea, i'm suck of all the fabrication haha. But yes, it will be sooo worth it in the end.
And this build looks tight man, be sure to update it regularly with pictures! (unlike me)
got the turbo installed - just need to have a wideband bung welded into the downpipe and have the downpipe extended because its JDM spec and my catback is USDM sti spec. I also need to fabricate an intake and intercooler piping to connect it to my cx racing fmic setup.
that turbo is beast in the engine bay, its like buying a TV at costco - when you are in there the tv looks small, but u get it home and dont know why you bought such a big tv! well the turbo seemed eh decent size in my living room, get it in the car and cant believe it fits!
custom flipped manifold complete. test fitted and it fits very nicely and clears the hood just barely. working on a flipped alternator belt tension adjustment bracket and this mod will be complete.
mods to the manifold include:
99 manifold w/ no air assist
shaved all tabs off that werent used
polished
modifed coil pack mounting pillars
obnoxious motorsports vac manifold directly plumbed
all unused nipples were capped
perrin fuel rails for 02-05wrx
custom adapter plates/hardware to mount perrin rails
agency power 740cc injectors
deleted PCV valve and use atmospheric setup
added new port for brake booster
removed throttle cable connector for the cruise control (hits power steering reservoir)
Lets get to the point.
Donor car: 2005 sti slightly modded.
Was fun while it lasted.
Fun in the snow.
And on the track.
Then some water happened along with a crazy idea and this was purchased.
and the FUN begins.
The time has finally come for me to organize a members journal! Ive been a member here since I purchased my 98 2.5RS in late December of 2005. My car, not unlike myself, has been through a lot since then and made many changes. And now, upon organizing parts and information for my swap, I...
This is going to be the tale of my second rs build.
I purchased for 2k the catch is that it had a blown head gasket...12/1/14 also found some rod bearings were bad too. instead of putting more cash into the current 2.5 i went apeshit AND bought a jdm full sti swap and copious amounts of clean...
So..
picked me up another chassis. $600 and it runs, mostly!
Still have the ej20g, gearbox, RobTune and iWire harness, stance coilovers (I had just bought to replace my godspeed crap) and lots of other parts... so here we go again!

This is mostly the progress of my srp 2001 L coupe, but also some 98L and 2018 brz stuff.
Backstory:
I got the car in August 2011 with 100,500 miles. It was my first car, and it had lots of problems at the start. Almost sold it a few times, but once I read about all the swap stuff, I...
