October 14, 200421 yr I just thought of something earlier and was curious as to its viability. Would it be possible to put a WRX or even an sti engine in an RX? What would this involve? WOuld you need to swap out the entire drivetrain? Just thought that it might be cool, it would make quite a nice sleeper, too.
October 14, 200421 yr searching is a good thing, but i think there are a few people that have attemped this and completed it. i know some have done the wrx swap into a brat, and i think it was dr.rx that did the rx. i may be wrong though
October 14, 200421 yr It is very do able. A few people have done it. Dr. RX was one of the first and he can give you all the needed info.
October 14, 200421 yr isnt the "ultimate rx" this very same car with very same swap? i believe its a wrx engine. do a search for ultimate rx, you should come up with something.
October 14, 200421 yr Nope. Absolutely impossible. never happen. An in depth search of the board will show thats true.

Of course it can be done, I did it, well not exactly, but I did use an EJ20G, but it came from a Legacy, not a WRX, but it is externally exactly the same engine. The only real mods the need to be done are shortening the drive line 55mm, and narrowing the rear piece of the tranny support. Of course you will need a custom exausht system. Here is a pic of the engine bay in the RX, note, this was taken during the wiring phase, so it looks like spagetti. http://www.corkysrocks.net/AirControlValve2.jpg
