Hello All,
I have had a project 914 since 2009. I have a hard full of 1.7's and 2.0's, I feel I am tired of these.. plus.. the 901 I feel is the downside... from my past ownership of a 914. I have decided to go subaru. On this forum. I see so many, some go 2.0, some go 2.5? Turbo? I am unsure of what combo to look for. It sounds like Turbo motors, need turbo 5spds. which are very hard to find. So is naturally aspirated jus fine? I would think so. I have gotten prices of a non turbo 2.5 from 2005sih at 1500.00... ugh. Do there majority of the sub motors mount to the transaxles? Or anybody in California want to sell a motor/trans? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I would love a turbo, but I think I am ok with a non turbo... any help? Thoughts? |

The EJ251 in my son's 2003 Baja developed rod knock so I replaced it with a used JDM EJ253. Now I have an old EJ251 sitting in my garage taking up space.
When I found out his engine was knocking, I considered doing a rebuild. Rebuild kits run anywhere from around $400 to $1600 with some decent kits around $600. I could have a freshly rebuilt EJ251 for around $1000. Decisions, decisions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
