I have a 03 wrx for one reason and another I blew the stock motor so I decided to buy a used jdm ej20t and tranny cost $850 bucks(good deal??) I have looked everywhere to find out if this center diff would go fine with my stock diff ratio.also I need to know if all the hoses match up because everything is cut wire harness and every possible line that connects to anything.These guys over seas really tare them out even down pipe is sawed right off looks like a chop shop job.

Any help would be great

thanks rob

ej20det? is that a new nissan engine? There are a ton a differances with ej20's through the years so make sure you get one that works with generation of vehicle or your in for a world of hurt/ or alot of time for little results. is the motor our of another USDM WRX? if so thats cheap. If its an older than 01 JDM you may wanna steer clear unless your gonna make some sort of hybrid. Hmm... WRX heads and forged internals of an older JDM WRX motor? could be nasty!

if you want easy plus a decent motor talk to the guys at www.gruppe-s.com about there JDM WRX motors. they use AVCS and there pretty cheap.

I only put DET cuz thats what the guy that sold me the motor put as the engine code sorry i did not know any better thanks for the suggestions but I am on my last dollar and I gotta run with what I got I wish i had more info to give but thats all I know my buddy has a jdm sti vers2 motor in his rex and they look the same to me it does not look like my us motor and everything on it is in ***

Is there any way to tell what year the motor is

Big_DeWeY

I would tell you to check out RavensBlade Impreza but there still down. you may want to ask the guy at the shop just exacly what is eched on the motor.

Plus you might get better responses on this site if you dont type all of your words into one sentence and try to refrain from saying "wat" or "cuz".

Well Thanks for the heads up.Last night we got the motor and tranny in.Everything pretty much matched up but the tranny mounts.I had a guy there at the shop make me some brakets to fixs the issue.Today I will be putting on the rear diff.I'll keep posting as we move along.

Thanks Rob

physicaly the motor should just bolt in. the wiring is gonna be the fun part. have fun!

Holy mother Of God this is taking way too long to rewire this thing.So many wire's so little time.You only can burn your self so many times before your hole finger is a caliss.Never agian!!!!

Just gt home from the shop 11:00pm finally done!!!!!!Every plug every wire anything and everything on the jdm motor that touches the wire harness has been swapped from my USDM.

What a freaking mission.....I dont wanna say that I will never do this agian but,
and a big BUT I may add. No one will ever be able to pay me to do this on anyone elsess car but mine.If you can avoid this task I strongly suggest you do.

But tommorow is another day and when it turns on it will be soo worth it.. Good night
