Hey there, these modifications were done in a private shop to a 2019 Subaru wrx. They called me to get the STI instrument cluster working for the wrx with the diff mods. Obviously they want the readings to display on the cluster hence the wrx to sti instrument cluster swap. How do I get it programmed to the ecu? It seems to work but I think some prep work is needed to get the keys programmed to it to have it started. How or where did you accomplish this at?

You can remove the balljoints but another option (easier imo) is drop the top of the knuckle from the shock/coil. Mark the top camber bolt as that has to do with your alignment. Once unbolted pull the knuckle down and towards you and the axle can sneak out of the back no problem. Ball joints can be a pain sometimes especially on older subarus. Also easier to do as one person. Nice video

Greetings baderbuilt this is my first subscription love the contents of your video. I was a big vw guy until I leased my first subbie wrx 19. Then looking on you tube and finding your channel is a plus. Fell in love with subaru wrx abilities and the way it rides except for the turbo lag 1 to 2. But it's a fun car. My tough decision is whether I keep my lease wrx or jump to sti. And seeing that tranformation with the transmission hmmm. I haven't seen all of your video so just wondering how much upgrade did you do to the F A engine. Rods and piston? If you can leave a reply that will be cool. It might help me decide to keep wrx lease or buy sti. Best videos I've seen on subaru.

The FA20DIT could be great if it wasn't so limited on fueling which is the limiting factor to more HP for it, even with the Nostrum HPFP it still doesn't pump or generate anymore fuel then stock because of the mechanical restriction and limitations, you basically would have to run a ridiculous expensive setup to control everything in the fuel system, eventually a shop may chase a record number but its a hefty cost.

First video Ive watched of your. So curious but would the transmission wiring from iWire fix the DCCD settings as well? Thanks for the video. A pleasure to watch and nice to see someone working with the FA20F. Really love these vehicles though I got a GRF over the VAG wanting the DCCD.

@BaderBuiltRacing 4 года назад

The particular wiring i bought will not fix the DCCD , it is just to connect the reverse / neutral position switch ect. Now the I-Wire wiring does have the DCCD wiring coming off the harness which is very simple only 2 wires. If you buy a DCCD pro / Spyder DCCD ect standalone unit the dccd system works great and those are super easy to install. Now im going to try the more difficult route of attempting to figure out OEM and get it hooked up to OEM switch on center console and Gauge Cluster. I may be successfull or i may not. Not sure yet.

I'm curious, what are the performance benefits to swapping the stock WRX tranni for an STI unit? Is it stronger? Better gear ratios?

@valencia0113 2 года назад

I am assuming there is more to using a 05-07 transmission or is it the same?

Hello my Evo 8 was smashed Friday night by a drunk driver while it was parked. It's totaled I talked to the wife and I got the approval to get a 2016 wrx? Shall I or should I not new to Subaru but I know f20a engine is a great motor over the ej over the years and I have evo and Subaru friends that love both platforms. My cousin has a 2018 wrx he had a evo 8 that got flipped and he loves his Subaru.

@BaderBuiltRacing 4 года назад

theodorepedro the 2016 wrx is a great daily driver but if you plan on modifying I’d recommend a sti hands down. I’m still working on the FA platform and seeing where I can take it, but the knowledge is still learning / growing on this platform.

@@BaderBuiltRacing thank you for replying I may go with the wrx for simple visuals mods because I had alot mods on my evo and the accident took it out of me. As long as its stick awd I'm happy. You gained a new subscriber 👍🏾

@@BaderBuiltRacing with the new EJ motors do they still have issues? Because my cousin has the 2018 wrx and his fa20 motor is doing very well car is fast enough and he has no issues so far. His evo was flipped. And i like the way the car feels.

@BaderBuiltRacing 4 года назад

The EJ only has problems when not taken care of 👍.
