Sti7 into bugeye wrx
hi all
so I bought a 2002 wrx two weeks ago. Got it on the rollers today and it has gone bang!!
Looking to put a 2nd hand engine in
would a v7 sti engine go straight in with the wrx loom, turbo etc

Thanks for that, it wasn’t being mapped it was just doing a power run as I had just bought the car I wanted to get the car checked to make sure it was safe turns out it was running 21psi boost with air/fuel around the 10 mark the guy doing it (srd In ansti) said the it was fine if not a little Rich, are the sti engines stronger than the wrx’s?

get the engine in, fresh cambelt/rocker gaskets/front and rear oil seals and decent oil in it. Stick a decent fuel pump in it and then get it mapped by a well know mapper.
speak with mattyB in the breakers section about an engine mate,well trusted breaker on here buddy that's who I got my engine off.
