Question 97 wrx engine into my 97 turbo 2000

would a 97 wrx import engine be a direct swap for my uk spec turbo 2000 97 engine as the crank has gone in it and need a replacement but its difficult to find a 97 - 98 turbo 2000 engine

also would there be much gain in performance

if you use your turbo and injectors, maf, etc.. then there should be no issue..

I beleive the cams are the same which otherwise would be another issue.

yes.. but you need to move some pins at the ecu on the loom..

you would need to get the wrx injectors and maf and turbo.
