as above is it a straightforward swop?have been told that 99 onwards are basically the same engine and should fit a 2005 blob,any advice would be appreciated.

 

Well the injectors are different sizes, your going to have to swap those over...

thats no problem can use my injectors,what about the heads?will i have to use my inlet manifold?have sourced a 2002 complete engine as well but its slightly more expensive so need to work out which will be most cost effective.

 

i think from memory that the inlet manifold holes line up although you may have to change the water crossover pipe as well, the worst of it is the toothed crank pulley will need changing as the trigger points are not the same, so with all the extra work to change these over i would go for the 2002 engine which is complete.

 

cheers just needed to know,will go for the 2002 motor then.

 

It should drop straight in just that the inlet manifold is different(use a later one) and you will need to change 3 of the timing pulleys which are also different.

 

ok so i need to use my inlet manifold,have only just done the cam belt and pulleys so i need to reuse them as well,think its easier to just buy the 02 engine,its only £50 more expensive when i include the delivery charge.

 

Just out of curiosity who are you buying the 2002 engine from ??

its on e-bay the guy has had his car rear ended and is breaking it.why do you ask?

 

There are mob selling engines, used to be called SMR Engines but have also been known as Mr Engine and Jap car parts (or similar) which sell off knackered engines just with a coat of silver paint.

Have a google for SMR Engines ..............

i believe ideal engines as well.

and these,

this guy seems genuine,checked his feedback and he has sold other parts from the same car,good feedback so no reason to think otherwise.i know its always a risk but when you are on a very tight budget you have to explore all options.cant believe how many people are suffering bottom end failures,its an epidemic,time to bite the bullet and get the monaro.

 

all we are saying is don't get stung, i bought my engine used in 2005 and its still going strong but i had a guarantee and would have got my money back if there were any problems, not everyone have been so lucky.

 

yes i know.would love to buy an sti bottom end from someone on here and do the rebuild but i just dont have the cash,my car has been off the road for 4 months now,really need to get it running.if anyone has a complete engine that will fit with minimum labour i would love to hear from you.

 

Any link to the guy ?

I think your PM to me has already been answered. I see his e-mail is alibongo81@hotmail.com.

I wonder if Chrisdicko has sold his short engine ?
