Hello All,

I’m looking to buy an STI that has had its engine swapped over recently.

Does any one know how to tell what engine is fitted with the engine in the car?

I know the car is an STI because the applied model is right and everything else checks out OK… the question is how do I tell if the right engine was swapped over?

I don’t want to buy an STI with a WRX engine in it!

I am looking for something concrete like engine numbers or something that can’t be bolted on to dress a WRX engine up!

Allegedly it is an STI 5 motor in an STI 4 car.

****FREE BEER TO ANYONE WHO TELLS ME THE RIGHT ASWER****

Cheers,

Ian.

well considering an STi4 inlet manifold won't fit on an STi5 set of heads..
unless just the short engine was changed.. you have an inaccuracy already as the STi5 inlet manifold won't work so easily with and STi4 ecu etc..
