Version 5 STi 5 speed swap
Anyone know if a V5 (1999) Sti (444) close ratio 5 speeder will boly up to a 2002 WRX? Can't seem to find anything on the suitability of this box in this forum.

yep. I've got one in my car. Great acceleration at any speed and highway cruising revs are high enough that you dont really need to downshift to pass people.

I've got the usual boltons, bigger turbo, big top mount, ecutek, and I get anywhere between 260 and 300 miles per tank. Not far off from a typical stage 4 car. |

WOW. That sounds encouraging. Did you need to change anything like diff ratio or did you do just a straight bolt up job?

You need a 4.44 rear diff. I think my second goes up to 72mph at 8k rpm's. My theoretical topspeed is about 185ish at 8k.

There is a gear ratio/speed calculator in the sticky at the top of this forum, plug in the gear ratios and see what kinda speeds it will get. I really feel like I need a higher rev limit with these gears since 2nd doesnt even get to 60mph (8K redline would haul). |
