Is is possible to drop a MY99 2.5L EJ25 H4 Big Block Engine into my 93 L? if yes, what do i need ? It is a complete short block ( crank, rods , pistons , etc.) so are there any other parts that i will be needing? also, if i make this change, i want to switch to a MT as well, so what will i need there, besides a new tranny, and a set of pedals?

please let me know, im really starting to get into this whole suby thing but i need more knowledge before i get in too deep.

thanks
mike

ECM wiring harness and every little electrical doodad you can think of. Why not just do an STi swap? If I had it to do all over again I would buy an AWD L and swap drivetrainnns.

MY99 2.5L EJ25 H4 Big Block Engine Why are you calling it a big block??

My guess is he found it on ebay some guy in texas is calling it a big block. Saying its a honda killer and makes wicked power witholds boost well etc etc..... Load of crap if you ask me.

I'm not just saying this because your interested in my engine, but you'll probably want a 2000 or 2001 engine over the older ones. The 00-01 have MAP sensors while the older cars had MAF's which don't like modding too much.

Yes and no. The MAF on the 98's was a hot-wire MAF, and is pretty hearty and doesn't really cause any problems. It's the 99's hot-film MAF that is touchy and prone to breakage. But I've also heard that the MAF is a little better to use in a turbo application, but the MAP in the 00-01 is much easier to work with, NA or turbo, AFAIK.
