Lol. Yeah but you have the 2.0 and I want to keep my wagon. Love having the extra space. Nice try though lol
Also, does anyone know if a newer MY08-present wrx engine will mate up with a 04-07 wrx tranny. I was thinking instead of going with the full sti swap maybe I'll get a geared 5 speed, cause I've been told by many people that they're actually quicker than the 6 speed due to ratios and 1 less gear to change. Plus I want an engine with low miles and it's so much easier to find a low miles engine in the newer model year and every STI I find has 120K+ miles already on it! I could always just send a beat up 2.5 to element tuning though and have them rebuild it lol. just trying to stay as cheap as possible for now.

Okay that's good to know. SOOO I could buy a low milage 2008+ wrx engine, get 06 tranny, driveshaft, rear end etc and swap it into my car. but then which wiring would I need. I'm guessing the engine harness from the newer engine would be pretty much it?

You're going to have to swap everything harness wise. Why 06 tranny? If you're going to do a stock / factory trans, go 07 sti trans. 6 gears and they're super strong. Otherwise, from the above posts, go ppg, the Wrx trans is an accident waiting to happen

I saw this one as well from a JDM STI. you know the difference between the JDM STI 5MT and a WRX 5MT? not sure if it would be more reliable therefore saving me some money so I wouldn't have to buy the 4500 ppg 5MT.

yeah of course. Now I have a stupid question. What is the difference between a longblock and a shortblock. I just noticed that the guy with the engine has a longblock and built shortblock but I'm not sure which is better and why. The shortblock is cheaper but has many forged performance additions. I'm guessing it has to do with the stroke?

Short blocks don't have the heads, long blocks do. Simple as that. Don't rush into it. Read up, and when you think you've got a good grasp, read up again. There's TONS of info out there. People's experiences, opinions, take it all into consideration. Set yourself a goal and work towards it.

SOMEHOW I got my wife to agree to let me have some free rein on what I put into it cause it'll be cheaper than spending 20K on a new-used car, as long as I'm keeping it cheap. As in less than 13K lol. ****, I'll primer the thing to save money if it can have a good combo like that lol. |

I guess. Depending on what built would actually mean. Everything better be built for that price. I would want to know what the block has, what the heads have. Etc etc.

"From what I can sell you the 7 grand would include as listed for the motor. Short block: Fully sleeved pinned and o-ringed ej25 case. Manley pistons. 100mm stock sti compression Manley turbo tuff I-beam rods. rated for i believe 1000hp. New factory oem black nitrate crank ACL HX race bearings ARP head studs Cometic head gaskets Heads: Ported and polished Manley valvetrain with dual valve springs Manley stock size intake and exhaust valves Kelford 272 cams Im installing new valve stem seals since it seemed that one didnt sit properly and dont want someone to worry about any issues of pulling the motor and all to fix it. accessories: New gates waterpump with timing belt (not race belt) Tomei timing belt guide New STI oil pump New OEM oil cooler STI oil pan Im sure I left some stuff out in there but If I remember I'll make sure I let you know what else it coms with. For another 600 I'll include the killerb oil pickup tube with is about 160 new, oil baffle new is about 70, and torque solution motor mounts which are around 170 new, large tmic with mishimoto intercooler silicone hoses which would cost around another 300 for it all and perrin turbo inlet which cost about 200 new and ill throw in the K&N intake since ive had it for years plus you would be spending a decent amount on this all. For what you need from the drivetrain shouldnt be much since the impreza's and WRX's share a lot of the same parts. even though its a pain in the ass to install i would get a complete wrx harness from the ecu to everything that runs to the engine harness and all since you would need to run a boost control solenoid and what have you. ill throw in my stock header up-pipe and turbo pending inspection to make sure its still in good working shape because I hate the feeling of ripping someone off even if its by accident." |

I didn't look too far into it. But I'm curious what cams he has in it. It's a solid build. There's a lot of controversy over sleeves blocks though. You should gander at the pros and cons.
