whats the diference between V8 and V3 bottom end
As above, I have a V3 STi ra with the bottom end gone and me replacing it with a V8 bottom end. I have noticed it has an extra breather on it but other then that it looks the same??
Thanks

Yes it has an extra crankcase breather that can be blocked, it will fit your RA but may need different thickness headgaskets, ask you builder...or if you are doing it yourself ask your gaskets supplier!!

Ok well I believe it came out of a my03 STi but do not know if it is uk or JDM. Either way it is a better lump and straight drop in for me though once all bits like heads, headers, inlet, flywheel bla bla bla transferred over yea?

The engines between a JDM and UK car are totally different in that year, the JDM is a twin scroll unit, it will not fit your car unless you have an exhaust that can go around the different sump these cars have (they are twin scroll) so you will need to change your entire exhaust (downpipe etc) to fit, if its a UK car or early MY01/02 lump then it will fit.
