how hard is swapping an ej20 in a classic
As above, got a classic wrx, engines started tapping sometimes, but stops, then starts again lol, anyway looks like its the end of the line for it. Now the bodys pretty much rust free and its just had new brakes, hsd coilovers etc fitted so I think its too good to scrap!
How difficult is ripping the engine out n puttin another in? Also hoow difficults rebuilding one to standard spec?
Cheers

Hi bud, just to give you another option I've rebuilt my engine to standard spec, but with new bearings (acl race) and rings plus steel head gaskets. All tolerance's checked, heads reconned etc for around £600 So its now like a new one.
The only thing with chucking a second hand engine in is that you never really know the condition of what your putting in so could be a waste of money and time.
Hope this helps.

Hi, i removed my old engine out of my my98 and replaced it with a V5 P1 engine. It took a bit of thinking about and had to make up a loom harness to fit the later V5 ECU but appart from all of this its a doddle.
