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 |

I believe that the STi uses a different block... it has a semi-closed deck.
JDM twin turbo engines are cheap and plentiful, but I've heard that parts compatibility is not 100% with USDM stuff. Like Zach says, the WRX 2.0 engine can make STi power (and more), but probably not as reliably as the STi. Way cheaper though. I think you'd be lucky to get a good STi engine for much under $5k. WRX could probably be had for $1.5k. JDM stuff is in the $800 range. I was looking into a Subie conversion before I decided to build a big Type IV. A well done Subie is not going to be as cheap as some of the numbers that people are throwing around. |
