swap questions
*this may not be in the right forum, so please move if need be*
so after a LOT of searching in the past few months, ive finally been able to come across a wrx engine for my 99RS, and above and beyond that, its a vishnu stage 2 engine but heres my questions, pretty general swap questions, but im just not sure with the added pOwAh :P 1. since the donor car will be right next to mine, what else will i need to complete the swap? ive been told i will need a new crossmember which i cannot steal from the donor car... 2. i plan on keeping my RS tranny, as ive been told it will hold up just as well as the WRX tranny, so i figure i can save some money buy keeping mine. however, ive heard so many contradictions about clutch/flywheel combos. ive heard u have to have an RS clutch and flywheel, also heard u can use the RS clutch and a WRX flywheel, and so on. which is correct? 3. what clutch/flywheel combo would you recommend? leaning towards the ever popular fidanza lightweight flywheel, but very undecided on the clutch. a friend has a clutchmasters stage 2 on his wrx that is very fun, but will it withstand the output of vishnu stage 2? 4. how similar are the exhaust bends of the RS and the WRX? i havent had a chance to compare the bends, so im *hoping* they are similar enough where i wont have to do any custom fabrication on the vishnu exhaust 5. honestly, is the RS tranny strong enough to handle the power that this engine will output? ive heard it is, but i have my doubts since the previous owner destroyed his wrx tranny something awful. i think thats all ive got for now...lemme know...and anything else you can suggest, recommend, or forewarn me about would be appreciated |
