Hey All,

My name is Wilson, and I joined i-club a while ago but have just recently been able to dedicate more time to the Subi. I ride around in a 2000 Impreza 2.5RS. I love the car and have high hopes for it. Haven't done too much to it yet except for a Tein suspension and a couple other things.

My big decision now is whether or not to do an engine rebuild with upgraded parts or to do a full motor swap with a '08 or later motor. Both can prove to be quite expensive. I am hoping to ask around on the forum to get some advice on this topic, so look for some future posts .

Welcome

 

5 years for 1 post. FREAKIN SWEET! hahaha. Welcome to the club brother. Do a swap I say!

 

Hi Wilson,

It depends on how much you have to spend. But I say motor swapped to a turbo motor. You will wish you had when you had the chance

 

Yeah, I have been leaning toward a motor swap. I have heard nightmares about the wiring though. Not sure if I would be able to find a shop to do the work since I don't have the knowhow to do it on my own and a lot of places have stopped working on my model year.

Thanks for the recommendation .

 

Welcome back to the club i guess lol.

I would vote swap as well.

Just buy a wrx/sti ecu and wiring harness. Should make it easier than splicing when you already have.
