Cost depends on what model/year sti engine you use.

Its gunna cost atleast 6K, thats if you do all the work yourself, apart from the loom splice.

probs budget double what i have quoted above, and thats using an older sti engine, from a gc8.

A halfcut is the best best way to go, that way you have most of the parts required.

Cheers, i have a budget of about 10k so i could push for a bit more if needed, i found a whole car which is a 96 sti gc8 for 4k so ill buy that and do the conversion with that. do you need a new tail shaft and drive shaft or does everything fit well?? 

[Barbbachello]

For a 96 youll need to use the rear GC8 cv shafts. Assuming your car is a manual youll be able to reuse your driveshaft

[MickyD5]

Yeah its a manual, alright no worries appreciate your help, Ill post pics of the car and build when its getting done

Honestly you're much better off going with GD series parts for a swap. GC8s are getting pretty old and tired these days. Not to mention the tuning difficulties. There's plenty of threads on this forum showing how to do it (incl. mine:  http://www.subyclub....gon-gen3-wagon/)
