Can I put a Porsche 911 flat 6 into an 02 WRX?
 

I was wondering if it was possible to throw in a porsche 911 carrera flat six engine into a 2002 WRX. or if you happen to know a site that could answer that question for me ill just go there and ask. thanks.

I've heard of porsche's swapping in subaru engines, but the other way around im not so sure. you'll also have to upgrade the tranny for sure.

this is a damn good question


the motor couldnt be much wider than the subaru one or else it wont fit with out fabricating new frame rails


i dont knwo how wide a porche motor is

well just figure out the dimensions. anything is possible within reason. as long as the width is around the same size, i think it should work. i dont think the length would matter too much, there should be enough room and its a easier fix than the frame rails.

And what transmission is going to make this swap work?

anything can be done. the question is, do you have the money?

why not just throw a subaru H6 into your wrx?

The crankshaft turns the wrong way, so you'd have to start there.

New crank will fix that up ;)

I wanted to swap out the stock tranny for either a 2006 or 2007 adjustable 6 speed center differential. i would go as low as a 2004 STI's transmission.

what?

the crank shaft in a porsche turns the opposite direction than from the subie

what type of engine is an H6

what is the width of a stock WRX motor?

Good luck with a swap like this. If I had a good Porsche drivetrain, I would not put it into an Impreza - I'd put it into a chassis designed to handle that much power and torque. Porsche design is flat-6 rear-mounted engine with transaxle mounted ahead of the engine. There's also the technical hurdle of adapting the Porsche engine management system and wiring harness. The Porsche drivetrain probably costs several times what an Impreza chassis sans engine sells for.

How much money are you planning to spend on drivetrain swap like this?

dude, just buy a porshe haha
