STI engine into WRX Please help.
 

As mentioned in my other post (Compression test results) Please have a look. I think my engine has had it.

I found this on Ebay

Is it worth putting a new engine in or am I better off getting mine repaired??.

Will the STI engine above be a straight swap and will things like my TD05 turbo, Apexi Power FC ect be ok on it.

Is this a task which I could do myself. I’m good with all mechanical work but never swapped an engine before.
Reason I would like to do it myself is to try save some money after being let off from work recently money is very tight.
Been driving round a 1.4 LX escort for a few weeks now and its killing me after the Scooby. Need to sort it ASAP.

Any advice/help will be much appreciated.

Thanks, Chris

i cant tell which way to go with your engine, but one thing i would definitely do is avoid the sellers in your link, as all you will receive is a jet washed spray painted engine that they "hope" will be alright

Really.
Bunch of C***S. They make it sound like a good deal with all new bits. Wont be going there then. Did think it was a little cheap for what there saying has been done.

Dont no which way to go myself. Thanks for the warning.

What about a 2.5L. Whats that like to fit.
