Question on Engine Swap
I've been searching for hours and I still couldnt find the right answer. Since I'm really new to Subaru's, I have a few questions about my 04 Impreza 2.5rs
If I wanted to do an engine swap with ej20t's, what do i need? There are so many ej20t's and I'm thinking of using the stock 03+ WRX engine for swapping.
Do I just need the Engine, ECU, Wire harness, and the turbo? Do I need the different tranny or engine mount?

As far as the physical swap part of the engine, it's very simple and straight forward. there is no fabrication needed, you can use a stock part for everything, as long as you have the right one. Wiring is the difficult part; you can (and should) use a complete wiring harness from the donor car for yours. This is how most shops do it. the best thing to do is talk to a shop that has swap experience and ask them.

You'll need the complete(uncut) wiring harness, ecu, turbo, the stock exhaust(unless your upgrading), the fuel controller+pump, upgraded clutch and another car/truck to get around while you wait.
If you're in Socal, they're a few shops to choose from and tuners also.
