I just did the swap on my 2006 JDM BP5. Used a JDM DCCD 6MT from a 2004 STI, swapped the JDM R160 diff yolk onto the JDM R180 rear diff, JDM 4EAT driveshaft, USDM Spec B rear axles, OEM STI Legacy short shifter, GRB STI clutch master and slave, spec b legacy pedals. There's still some wiring to tidy up to get features like clutch in to start etc. but car is driving. Put approx. 16k km on it so far! Can't wait to put on a MapDCCD and play with it.

Definitely put me down for one

So I made some more progress this weekend. Trying to get this thing buttoned up so I can work on some other crap I have going on. Started by redoing the EGR pipe to mate up with the new location of the valve.

Then I cleaned everything up and got the inside painted.

After that was dry I could finally install the velocity stacks for the last time.

Also last week I forgot to take pics but I made a cover for the back of the manifold to cover the throttle body.

And to finish out my weekend I painted the underside of the lexan flange and welded it to the top finally sealing the manifold for good. Last was to install it one last time to check fitment before I paint it. Intake isn’t actually attached since the TB wasn’t installed for these pics but you get the idea.

Anyways thats pretty much all i got for this week. I will be trying to paint and finish this thing up this weekend but I have to draw up and get the lexan cut so I can drill and tap the flange. Taping the harness and just a few other things and we will see if all this effort to make it have all the stuff the stock had so it will run without issue. I think the MAF location could cause me some issues similar to cars that have Big MAF pipes installed without tuning but it should be enough to get it tuned.
