View Full Version : 1.8 Liter Motor Swap
Nytmare 10-25-2004, 07:30 PM I have 04 STI and I want to dumb down the engine so to speak. i was going to make it a sleeper because I was going to drop in a 1.8 liter DOHC VTEC engine. The reason for this is because A. It has never been done and B. Hondas have VTEC!!!! I also plan on making it fully rearwheel by using an S2000 drivetrain layout!!!!! C. Hondas can redline to 9 Grand, lets see an STI rev to that, so what do you guys think? :banana:
Nytmare 10-25-2004, 07:38 PM I'm also using a full standalone engine management system and plan to build the motor to rev all the way up to 10k.
awd_dreamin 10-25-2004, 08:40 PM STI doesnt need to rev at 9K. itll make 300hp at 6000rpm and 300 Lb/FT at 4000rpm.
Are you serious?! please tell me your joking.
DoctorNick 10-25-2004, 08:50 PM Sounds like a great idea.
now go blow you head off.
Nytmare 10-25-2004, 08:54 PM i'm really serious and u can blow your head off bc i'm gunna blow your head off on the highway
awd_dreamin 10-25-2004, 08:57 PM just put on some vtec stickers on your sti and be done with it. why would u buy an sti, and then "dumb it down"!?!
chip4761 10-25-2004, 09:04 PM Yeah, V-TEC!!! That'll sure spank a car making 300hp. I think it would make more sense to buy a Justy, and do this. That would be one hell of a sleeper. BTW, for your information, the STI would spank an S2000. At least in a straight line, or on a dirt road. Heck, maybe even on a track, if the driver was worth his salt.
DoctorNick 10-25-2004, 10:41 PM Ok, honestly. You have absolutely no idea what your doing and your just pain dumb. If this is what you wanted to do, #1. Why buy an AWD subaru if your gonna make the dam thing RWD and HONDA. #2 its a heavy ass car so no matter what you do its gonna be slower then ****. #3 I hope you have a lot of money because you certainly don't have the brains to do it yourself.
chip4761 10-25-2004, 10:50 PM It's not THAT heavy.
RickInLittleElm 10-25-2004, 10:54 PM I don't care if you are just trolling or smoking crack; go find a Honda board.
<shakes head in disgust>
txjunglist 10-25-2004, 11:11 PM don't think I have ever seen $hit like this before.I mean I can't belive DARWIN let this one go this long.
ImprezaRSfan! 10-25-2004, 11:14 PM who the hell would take a stock 1.8L vtec engine over a stock 2.5L turbo engine ?
Calebz 10-25-2004, 11:50 PM who the hell would take a stock 1.8L vtec engine over a stock 2.5L turbo engine ?

Homemade WRX 10-26-2004, 12:23 AM um lets see, less power and RWD will make you faster...care to explain?
maybe you should shave about 1500 lbs from the car too. now when you do this, send that crappy motor and drivetrain my way, since it isn't good enough.
AWDball 10-26-2004, 12:38 AM 1.8l motor in an STi, yeah that sounds like a really fun idea!...how bout you go do that, i'm gonna go to sleep, wake me up at midnight cause i gotta go to work.
2.5rsCoupe@dfw 10-26-2004, 12:40 AM this is gay.
YaZahX 10-26-2004, 12:41 AM AHH STi n00bs i tell ya..

Dave6265 10-26-2004, 12:47 AM u are a fool and an idiot.
not to be blatant but mustbe said.. sell the sti and get your crappy vtec engine in whatever honda or acura makes you get a hard on for
Impreza2.5RSTi 10-26-2004, 12:48 AM Hey rich little bitch, why don't you give me your car, and go buy a CRX?

Just die for god sakes. If you are serious about this and it isnt a joke, I say we impound his car. No one that makes a statement this stupid(along with the other crap) deserves an STI. We can all use it as our track slut....
Either way....I vote ban
Oh yEahsSSS tEh 9k Rpmmmm s2kkk wIlL Own3d tEh sTi :lol:
RickInLittleElm 10-26-2004, 12:58 AM We dyno'd an S2000 this weekend w/ intake and exhaust and it put down
241hp and ~160Torque and it twisted to 9K.And the S2000 is a 2.2L( I believe) and you want to build a motor w/ .4 liters less?!!!? That torque # will barley get an Sti moving, much less...ahhh, why do I even bother?!
You, sir, need professional help.
kedrin 10-26-2004, 01:01 AM jeezus christ i would just shoot myself if i were u at this point.
they do make head upgrades THAT DO REV to 9k rpm. that may require new pistons and balancing also tho.
haha put ur 1.8 liter N/A in your subaru. Make sure to come and find me so i can shoot u in the freaking head.
ooohhhhhh i got a 9k rpm and makes about 230 crank hp..... i bet it will whip your 7k rpm 300 hp (easily raised) car.. not to mention awd.
Someone end this thread please... (actually i hope i jsut did)
GO AWAY AND NEVER COME BACK
AJ711 10-26-2004, 01:08 AM I'll take that STi drivetrain from you when you swap that mean V-Tach engine in there. And get this, I won't charge you a thing to ship it to me as well.
evo_killer 10-26-2004, 01:11 AM Hey! Could you send that lovely 2.5 engine to me? I would like to put it in my
'02 WRX. heh heh!
:lol:
"I want a 10-sec car, not a 10-min car".
krillz 10-26-2004, 01:11 AM sti makes more torque just a few rpm off idle than a s2000 does at 9000
GC8-E36 10-26-2004, 01:24 AM Drop teh 4g63 in it!
imaKi 10-26-2004, 01:26 AM my legs make more torque after i drink water than an s2000 does at 8800...
Pakin 10-26-2004, 01:33 AM I suggest turbo'ing the STi. Lots of great kits out there, and it's reliable!

ebeck 10-26-2004, 01:38 AM Boy, this looks like the type of post I'd do in the Honda forum only say Subaru and just sit back and watch everybody post. :lol: I would then sit around with all my Subaru friends and laugh at the honda heads.
Fellas, he is joking. I am pretty sure.
Blue Rabbit 02 10-26-2004, 01:38 AM you are an idiot sir and don't deserve an STi. sorry, i said I wasn't going to be harsh, and I even like Honda swaps, but this is ridiculous.
awd_dreamin 10-26-2004, 01:43 AM someone should set him up the bomb.
scoobydorift 10-26-2004, 01:56 AM i could be wrong but this just sounds like a joke to make everyone heated. if he is serious, let him do it. he he is joking...well 2 pages of replies in under one day....i think that is a record in the conversion forum.
milkcartonkid 10-26-2004, 02:14 AM I want to dumb down because I s u C!!!!

Laugh Damon 10-26-2004, 02:20 AM yeah hes GOT to be joking, but look on the bright side, if we ever raced him, we would think we just owned a STI! :banana:
milkcartonkid 10-26-2004, 02:21 AM oh. and Mods. Please. for the love of all that is Holy.

dust12 10-26-2004, 02:33 AM I'll trade you my 02 WRX with 2.0 liter engine for your STI. That should be close enough to 1.8l for you. lol
Jimmy S. 10-26-2004, 04:02 AM aight fellas.
