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

Thanks, everyone!

I had no idea that the 2.5 turbo came in so many models besides the WRX.

He wants a 2.5L, so a strengthened 901 with that spacer plate would probably be appropriate, if he wants to use a Porsche tranny.

I will search the suby/914 threads here.

I think we will try domestic first, but thanks on the JDM offer!

Best regards,

John
