it's the motor only. your gonna have a hard time finding a wrx motor here. not too many people have them lying around. if you've checked the junk yards and the usual places, you might have to go mainland to find one. i'll keep an ear out for one and LYK if i hear of any. otherwise maybe you could just do the wrx turbo and top mount upgrade. would save you a little money in the long run, and easier to find.

You have so much more potential with a EJ20t or an EJ257 block. Now you could pick up an EJ257 block, or Mario's blown EJ20 block and add some forged goodness. Then you could pick up a WRX exhaust manifold, headers, uppipe, turbo, turbo-back, intercooler, turbo inlet hose, possibly intake manifold and injectors and you would be in business. Talk to Francis he is doing it with an EJ257 block in his Phase 1 DOHC 1998 RS.
