Bein to look at a 1995 m plate wrx today and it needs a new engine, just wondering what sort of prices they are, best place to go and how much to fit, any suggestions would be appreciated
Cheers

 

Where you based? Would help people to reccommend people local to you

Whats up with the engine?

 

Near Rotherham,
Water pump failed and engine blew.
Its from scoobybits

 

An engine rebuild will cost you about 2.5-3k, a second hand engine could cost you 1.5k and blow up 3 months later, so id go for the engine rebuild

lets be real he's not gonna buy a m reg wrx then spend above 2.5-3k on rebuild secondhand 1.5k get real

give" grade a" in new mills a ring sure they can do much better prive on secondhand engine

i know its a long way from you but have you tried api near leamington spa if you just want a supplied engine im sure they can get one sent down to you from reading the posts on this site a lot of people have trust in them including me who is about to spend some serious cash with them just phone and speak to david who is a top bloke and knows his scoobs

 

I dont know if you are interested but I have an engine out of a 1999 car, It was showing 65k on the clock. Ran fine It is currently sat in my Garage.

Also have gearbox, rear diff,driveshafts,ecu amongst other parts.

Will the 99 engine fit straight in or would i need some of the other pipework, clutch, gearbox etc

 

not straight fit heads and inlet manifold different

 

but complete engine woiuld come with that wouldn't it?

 

you'd also need loom and ecu, get an engine from the right car, eyes peeled on ebay, you'll get one for 4-600

 

For reference any phase 1 or 1.5 long engine will fit straight in. Thats any engine from MY93-MY98

 

so a 1993 to 1998 will drop straight in with no changes required

 

I see you dont quite understand
A second hand engine will come with a very limited warranty, it could literally blow up after 3 months, a full rebuild on the other hand will be warrantied for longer and you know (depending on who's built it) that its going to last rather than spend on 2 or 3 "used" engines
Simple point to this, either do it right in the first place or dont do it at all, ie dont buy the wrx with a spent engine, buy one with one that works or with the extra cash, buy something newer.

PROVIDING that the inlet manifold studs are all in a line and not offset. Offset type is 99 on and gives all manner of problems that are not solved just by changing the heads.

save the money and buy one with an engine already...
