So, whats the list of decent motors for a subaru swap?
What is the price range nowadays? If going down this road...is there a motor that can be upgraded to the STI motor over time??? Ideally I would like to figure out if a 2.5 liter legacy motor (or whatever) can have new cams and special head work and become an STI...etc... Rich |

If you want to eventually go up to a STi motor, you are going to be spending a little coin.
The ej2.0t out of the WRX up to 2005can be made to produce STi power pretty easily, though. Its also cheaper. Taking a 2.5T out of a forrester XT or a 06-current WRX can be built to STi spec. There is a TON of after market for the 2.0t motor. The pre-2006 WRX is to the current crop of ricer tuners what the Honda Civic was to the previous one. Zach |
