Looking to put a 2nd hand engine in would a v7 sti engine go straight in with the wrx loom, turbo etc you need to know why the original engine shat itself.was it being mapped at the time? If so who by? keep to using people who know what they are doing with these cars |
Thanks for that, it wasn’t being mapped it was just doing a power run as I had just bought the car I wanted to get the car checked to make sure it was safe turns out it was running 21psi boost with air/fuel around the 10 mark the guy doing it (srd In ansti) said the it was fine if not a little Rich, are the sti engines stronger than the wrx’s? |

Stick a decent fuel pump in it and then get it mapped by a well know mapper. speak with mattyB in the breakers section about an engine mate,well trusted breaker on here buddy that's who I got my engine off. |
What sort of money should I be paying for one |
