looking for either links or your own write up on how to swap an 02-03 wrx engine in my 02 2.5ts, looking for all parts, instructions etc etc. Ive done swap before but never done a conversion. Will be using a donor car.

if you are going to be using a donner car then just swap everything! right? would be the easiest way to go about it.

also are you using the stock trans? is it a auto or manual?

you are gonna need the engine cradle, pedals if current car isnt manual, entire engine with uppipe downpipe, tbe, ecu, wire merge of old harness with factory if you are not using the donor car as a full part swap car. there is more but we need some more answers.

also have you tried looking on rs25.com they have tons of swaps over there and might be more help to you then over here.
