Default ej20 single turbo engine.

Hi there, I have recently bought a 1993 impreza project that suffered terminal engine damage courtesy of the cam belt.

I would like some pointers please of where to start my search for a quality refurbed engine- Ideally this has to be something solid that I can build on further down the line when my bank balance recovers from the shock of this initial spend.
To get the car through the mot I will also need

A rear nearside back seat window.
A whole new exhaust
Discs and pads all round.

All help and advise gratefully received- Ian

Refurbished engine........Do a search for SMR or Mr Engine on here or Google and see the huge pitfalls........unknown engine given a lick of paint mostly .

If you want a second hand engine then look at the for sale section for a known (ish) good engine as lots being broken.

Better still get your own engine rebuilt then you know what's been done. Some places do a drive in drive out rebuild for a fixed price so no surprises.

Hi pete96wrx,

I plan to black out all rear section windows and don't want to scrap off the tint. So, I will say thank you but no.

Hi scooby350bhp,

I'm looking for an engine I don't have to work on. But thank you so much for your offer.

What I'm after is a Scooby with a low milleage good condition engine that has been written off (maybe smashed up the rear!!) from a recommended scoobynet member.
