whats the cheapest complete WRX motor I can find locally? or whats the base price on one of them 02-03 04-05 ej20
or I can just put in an NA again...
im asking this question because when my motor blows and I dont know when cause I dont know whats wrong with it I just want to know how much to save up so when its time I know how much to spend.

does anyone have them OBO engine reader that I can use? so I can see whats going on... I dont wanna spend money on a shop to do somthing that simple.

 

its an OBD II scanner!!! well heres one hint "auction"........
but your gonna have a hard time finding someone that goes, unless someone on i-club goes?...... my friend told me that he saw a wrx (whole car) go as low as $1500 but there a catch!!! it was burned but the motor was good. for STI its about $5000-7000.
-dude its hard work its not just the motor, you need the ecu, whole wire harness, crossmember etc......

 

1500 daym thats cheap seiit I can buy that car if I just got my tax return now hahaha....

also when it comes to installing it I would need the guys who did somthing like this uuuh hummmm like ****..... well I can install it by myself I just need to know what parts go to what. I dont know

 

u need alotta stuff for the swap... like ryan said the harness/fuel pump/ ecu/cluster/ alot more your looking for more like 3-4k to do the full swap. if lucky cheaper. ryan has done his he would be a good help also

 

Which car do you have? If you just want a shortblock, you could feasibly do it for only the cost of ~$1500 or so. You've got all of your free labor within the HIIC. If you're car is a wrx or an sti, you shouldn't need to replace your heads unless they're suspect as well.

Have you tried doing a leakdown test on your car or a compression check? What leads you to believe that it's fried or almost fried?

Speaking of fried and free labor, you might want to find out if a gentleman named Mike Friedman (s/n 18hr on here) is still in town. That or talk real sweet to a gent named Francis (aka 2.5 DOHC). Both of them are worth their weight in platinum.

 

he got a 1996 2.2L awd 5speed

 

let me know when you are ready..

 

let me know when you want to do it im thinking of selling my setup complete wrx swap 04 motor,trans,crossmember,steeringrack,front sway,with an 01 cluster maybe even dash abd door panels thinking of about 5k or so everything has 6k miles

 

seiit man im far from that kind of money hahah all I have saved up is 2g I need to save up more if I wanna put an 04 motor seiit....

 

I just wanna rool with the big boys heehee

 

[QUOTE=shaggadelic to do the fool swap. if lucky cheaper.
