There ya go under 5 grand, found several others on the same site, dont be taken um from me

Once again I DONT WANT AN STI I WANT AN STI XB!

And for the rest of ya thx for the support

 

Well, jump on it man. Get started! If it is what you want to do...why do you care what anyone on this or any other forum says? Hop to it!

 

DO IT!!! If I were you, I would but the STI spoiler on the back of the xB....That way people will laugh, until they get smoked

 

The projectisin the near future( i have other issues at the moment) But will keep u guys updated, any suggestions are appriciated!
Godspeed

 

I think it is a great idea... But realisticaly, NO!

I see that you are 16. Your post in general means 1 of 4 things:

1.) Your parents are way too rich.
2.) You are a trust fund baby.
3.) You have a 6 digit income already.
4.) You just thought you would post up something that sounded cool not realizing what was actually involved and how much money it would cost.

Personally, I am voting for the latter of the 4.

 

X2!

 

i dont think youre smart enough for this task. I spoke to you about it once before. If you would like to pay me to do it for you pm me.

 

HAHAHAHAHA! You guys act like age has somthing to do with it, I have been rebuilding engines since I was 12,
And what the hell?
1.) Your parents are way too rich.
2.) You are a trust fund baby.
3.) You have a 6 digit income already.
4.) You just thought you would post up something that sounded cool not realizing what was actually involved and how much money it would cost.

This project is extremo cheapo, thats what I have been saying the last 4 posts, If i keep hearing, it cant be done, your a rich bastard, then maybe youll see it in a magazine and wonder why it isnt on here? thats cause this "kid" got fed up with some of you guys and quit posting.
Way to be jerks
Im out

Oh P.S. I know about "respect your elders"but maybe you should listen to someone that could be smarter than you. Maybe I am in over my head, and if that day comesi'll apologize.

 

Really kid, good idea. But there's alot of fabrication that needs to be done, that is not "extremo cheapo". I'm not saying it's impossible. But realistically, DREAM ON. Engine swaps aren't that simple.

 

X2.

I'll give you my props when this is finished on the 7TH OF NEVER.

 

Ok, im done arguing, just dont be to upset when its done.

 

just did some measurments....so....um....where you going to put the turbo? your footwell? and the driveline would cause the car to sit6-8 inches higher, unless you want to run a fuel cell and cut out the floor. Plus there is no subframe back there. Have you ever seen an sti's wiring harness? its absolutely massive. good luck with that. Zpi already stated the chassis canot suport much more then 220whp. Did you factor in the price of all the fabrication required? new front cradle, brakes line mastercylinder, rear cradle, custom driveshafts for the rear diff, and all the firewall modifications, fuel pump and fuel cell etc etc. headers exhaust etc etc. So um..including a 3-5 thousand dollar car plus all the welding and fabbing, your looking at aroun 12,000$ or you could just put 12,000$ down as a down ayment ona lotus exige, or a 350z or something similar. If you want something unique and cheap build a v8 mg like i did, or put a 7mgte supra motor into a toy pickup, h22 into a civic hatch, much cooler swaps out ther in my opinion.

 

really kid who gives a ****. Just do it. prove us wrong, stop whoring.

 

Are you sure the STi's engine will actually fit in the xB's engine bay? I'm not saying its not gonna work but I don't think the xB is big enough for this project. Or maybe I just don't know anything.

 

The only way I see it working is to start with a totally custom chassis and put the xB on it...but why stop there with an xB body if you are going to go through all that.

AND you keep saying "cheapo", but from my experiences, going cheap on anything just means it won't work or IF it does, it won't last. TRUST ME on this. IF you DO do it right, it is going to cost aLOT!

BTW, I think Travis Pastrana has a wrecked STI. I'll try to post a link!

 

Put your money where your mouth is! When it's done post some pics and I'm sure everyone here will bow down at your feet and worship you. Until then, I wouldn't talk about it. People talk of doing things like this all day long and never do it. If you pull it off I will be the first one to congratulate you, but I'll believe it when I see it.

 

ill tell you, i doubt youll get a subie engine to fit, but dont give up. youd be bettter off sticking a V8 in the rear rather than trying this. BUT, you never know till you try. From my experiances, dont tll anyone your plans till your into the project, and making head way, and its gonna be a success!!, trust me, most of the stuff ive done to my box, no one knew about till it was built and completed, good luck!!

 

If you want an STI xB are you gonna go all the way and make it AWD too?

You could probably do it to a tC since the front end is so big but it's not gonna fit in your little xB. Your gonna need a lot of room for the engine, trans, all the piping for the turbo and the intercooler, drivetrain and axles. etc.... Good luck with that

And you said it was gonna be cheap, if I wanted to put the 6-spd tranny in my WRX it would cost me around $5500. I don't know how much the STI engines are going for but its gotta be up there too.

 

...extremo cheapo...
If you somehow succeed in doing this without destroying the box or blowing ten grand, I'll fly out there and shake your hand.

 

like alot of ppl have said with alot of $$$$ and time any thing can be done. but

if you cant make do or mod with a super or turbo charger or an easy'er swap then why did you buy the car in the 1st place


but again i will give you big props if you get it to work
