02 2.5 Rs
i did a search but nothing came up...... i have a 2002 2.5 RS, i just bought it a couple months ago. a good friends dad has a 2002 WRX motor in his garage that he wants to get rid of. he told me that its mine if i want it for a fairly cheep price. what has to be done to put it in my 02 2.5? and is this a good or bad idea....the WRX motor has about 2000 miles on it, give or take a few.

warrenty's about over. what kinda money are we lookin at to do athe swap. so i would probably wait until my warrentys up do put the motor in. but he is selling if fairly cheep so i might buy it within the next couple days just to have it, then when the warrenty is up put it in. but i need to no what i need to do the swap, roughly how much, all that good stuff. i no i would be doing the swap my self, i dont know enough about that stuff yet.

i don't have anything to contribute, but where did you find the information for the 01 swap if you don't mind my asking, i'm considering that swap myself sometime later, i personally would buy they engine, then swap it once my warranty was up.

I viewed your posted thread without having any information to contribute because your Subject line is very vague.

Also, you'll need to tell the shop exactly what parts are included in the engine you are planning on buying. I think all the small stuff will add up to a lot. For example, does the engine include the turbo, downpipe, ecu, etc? If not, you'll need to factor in the cost of these parts before commiting to the swap (unless you have unlimited funds
).
