My mechanic's old bud wants a Suby 2.5L Turbo engine. Where can he look for one?
Assume 30-50k miles that can be verified. Also, is the tranny good, or can he mount what he likes? It would go in a Porsche. We decide later on that. I am voting for 914. 1. What kind of money are we talking about without a tranny, with a Suby tranny? 2. Anyone know of a wholesaler in Central CA? Anywhere in CA? 3. We assume WRX heritage, right? 4. Are there certain years that are best? Collectively, we all know nothing about Suby turbo 4 motors, other than they are waterboxers. Thanks! John |

I got JDM 2.0 with trans off eBay for $1300 shipped. I sold the trans for $1500. A 2.0 is a good option to. The torque is I little less than a 2.5 it will be plenty is easier on the 914 trans. I will probably go to a 6 speed STi trans eventually.
I would guess that you're looking at at least $4-5k for a 2.5 unless you find a really good deal. Craigslist is a good place to look too. Don't forget that you need all the conversion parts that can get pricey and you need to figure out what ecu you will be using. |
