Legacy engine bay - what fits

[Guest]

So after being quoted like almost 2k for all the work i want done (no mods JUST getting it fixed and up to date) i was thinking it might be better buying a reconned engine and putting that it. (im leaning away from the TT setup but i LOVE the leggy shape)

So what Fits what doesnt. whats reccommended whats not?

Just filling up our new empty website with info

hmmm.....

either way it will cost you about the same..

hard to find a decent recond engine these days...

i managed to get a complete ( with td-04 and clutch ) low kms ver 1 engine for $1350.

then theres labour, parts, time off road etc...

what setup do u have currently?

is it gtb or gt? manual or auto?

and what did u need to get fixed.

Well since i want to move from the Twin setup anyways id spend a lil more on the new engine path

based off wht you said im looking at something like an EJ20G / EJ20K / EJ205 (according to wikipedia that covers wrx/sti engines from 01 - 99 ? )

I take it you need ECU / Gearbox too?

I have a 96 GT Leggy, Manual

Im unsure of what was done when i bought her so i need to be safe.

So full cambelt (inc tentioners, pulleys seals water.....blah blah blah)

Then i have this issue http://www.clubsub.org.nz/forum/index.php?topic=87.0

Gearbox is also crunchie around 3'rd gear (could be syncros)

Then finally a full service

whats your budget.... ultimately that defines what setup youll eventually have..

so is your car a wagon or sedan? gt or gtb?

if its TT then yes ull need a loom and ecu to match your engine..

if its manual then you prob wont need a gearbox ,unless your planning on big power the TT gearbox should be fine.

and its a wagon

refer to this thread for a single turbo conversion done the right way!

this is for pretty much a STI setup in a GTB wagon.

Doing a complete engine swap will be pretty easy, you'll just have to worry bout the loom, and some other small things. Though the list of bits needed always grows greatly while you're working on it..

You got an EJ20H, or EJ20R? Having the R will more or less make life VERY easy for you if you dump a V3/4 STi engine in there. The H will mean you need to do a wee bit of wiring, but i guess that leaves more options open, since you'll have to re-loom the ECU anyway.
