will an auto trans from a wrx work with an sti eng?

bereda · 12-11-2008, 09:19 AM

as stated my dads 2004 wrx eng blew and we found a 2006 sti eng for like 800$ (my uncles salvage yard) but he needs an auto due to a blown shoulder so will it work or no? and if it will what would it take to make work?

as far as mounting, they are the same engine. No probs. You will need the ECU also.

That will make a nice car! The trans all bolt up, are you putting the sti motor into an auto wrx?

the 06 sti engine wont function properly.....not with the 04 ecu

there are many reasons....but the 06 has several things that the 04 does not...avcs being one

it is not a straight swap

you NEEB an 02-04 wrx engine to straight swap
