Hi guys I blown my engine up this morning 😢 so need a new one I have a T reg uk2000 wagon and was wondering do I get the same engine again or go for a wrx or sti engine if so will they fit straight in use my loom ect is it a case of simple swapping n bolting parts on ? Any suggestions what to get mods I have are full exhaust with decat running standard turbo

Engine code on plate is EJ205nw1kd

Tidgy

what caused it to blow up? need to diagnose that first.

also you may be better to get it rebuilt, or sell it as a rolling shell and just buy another one.

Not sure yet it's sat at home I can see in side the engine the from top blown a hole through top of engine case it's done 141k last few days when turbo ain't on can feel it hesitateing spluttering abit untill turbo was in

Tidgy

If its blown a hole in the engine then its a serious failure and need to make sure that what ever caused it doesnt happen to the new engine, could be MAF related which is why it wasnt running right even at low revs. Afraid you've learnt the hard way never ever try to drive through a problem with a subaru always get them checked out.

Do you have a budget in mind for what you want to do?

I'll try and get a pict up

Tidgy

realisticly your looking at a few thousand to get sorted properly

It had a manual boost controller on it witch I no isn't great I was going to get it to a specialist to get engine set up n get rid of that but that plans gone out the window , was going to get another engine change pistions and gaskets ect then a good set up price up to 1000 or do I sell it and buy another one ....

Tidgy

Manual boost controller may have well caused it then

£1000 wont get you a proper rebuild im afraid, unlikley to get a decent second hand engine inc fitting either
