My EJ20T has made a big "BOOM"!
Hello everyone,
i'm 1st time here, I'm from Lithuania (eastern Europe), and i have Impreza wrx (GT) year '00.. You can take a look at http://www.nr1.lt/index.php?id=160 .
you, see, my problem is that I have a Impreza year 2000, model from 98-00, with a EJ20 turbo engine, and standart of 218 hp. I have made of it (tuned) about 280 hp plus ~50 hp of NOS shot. As a sum of ~330 hp and 300 lb.f. of torque. And now it has made big "BOOM", with a three holes (~1inch.) in the block. So now I am searching for a new engine for my car
My Question is, do you probably know who is selling an engine (with or not) tranny? I'm interrested in any offer..
Thank you!
Best regards,
Fricas

I heard lots of good things about their engines, or you can buy 2.5 L US STI short block if your engine cylinder head is intact.
You can get STI block for around $1300.
But to be honest I would look to get engine from Japan STI and that you can run big size turbos.
I am not a big fan of NOS, its really kills engine.
I am from Kharkov my self.

Yeah, $3500 sounds just about right (including shipping?). What version of STI engine? From which version of STI? How many miles on engine/tranny? Don't forget to get STI ECU. And since STI engine could handle more than WRX I would go with larger turbo. VF34 would be a good choice (not expensive) you can get it for about $700 unless your STI engine will come with twin scroll turbo.

40K is quite a lot. hmmmm.
and yes you need rear diff as well, because 6 speed gear box is longer, and you need different lengh shaft. I would recommend you not to rush and do more research on sourcing engine. I know it's painfull in the middle of summer watching your baby sits in the garage and you can't drive it. But better do it once right than try to correct your problem few times, at which point you loosing money and time, but gain experience.
Also you can look at RA type gear set for your gearbox which only will leave your gearbox housing and it's much stronger and has a shorter gear ration, which helps if you drag racing.
