how much will it cost to do a engine swap for a 2003 wrx, and what will i have to do, is it a reliable option or should i just go back with a stock wrx motor to put back in my 2003 ??

your looking about 10k for everything u need motor, ecu install.

Thanks Alex :)

We can definately do the job, as a matter of fact, we have a JDM V7 STi full driveline sitting here in the shop. But it's going into a MY00 2.5RS, which will make for a nice conversion ;)

HA, yeah, and I cant wait to get it started (ITS MINE!!! :banana: ) I would definately suggest LIC Motorsports...their work is top notch. Everything done the right way the first time. Im usually down at LIC and have personally seen an STi Ver 7 Spec C swap done and know what it takes. Adam and Noah can definately make this happen for you if thats the route you want to go...like I chose to do!

Swaps are cool (I have my own special recipe planned... ;)) but it would be much easier and most likely cheaper to just trade up to an STi and have upgrades to every meaningful part of the car to go with it.

i have a white 2007 2.5i, would i be able to put an STi engine in there, do they have the same motor mounts?

No, the white models have different mount positions from the other colors.
