I have the 2000 2.5rs and my engine is having a few issues and i took it to my mechanic and he said it will most likely break and either i would have to fix it or get a new engine. I was wondering what kind of engine could i get for a cheap price. I was also thinking about jdm STI swap but can you also let me know about regular 2.5rs engines. Thank you.

you can also email me at drg12@hotmail.com.

 

any impreza engine(US or JDM), from 1993 to now will bolt up under your hood. if you want speed and pimpness, go JDM. or if you can find one - go with a US STi engine. subaru engines aren't cheap though(compared to the prices of other manufacturer engines)
