WRX engine into a UK turbo
 

Hello All

Just preparing myself for the worst

I have a R reg 1998 UK turbo 2000

Was wondering what would be needed to put a WRX engine into it as im not finding many UK engines

Do i just need engine (new clutch of course) and the ECU or how does that work

Thanks

if you get a replacement engine from the same year of car then it is a straight swap, the only difference maybe aircon. If you out an earlier engine in (say a 1992 wrx) then there are somethings that need to be swapped. Hopefully though its not your engine as per your other post

Thanks dude - What other parts need swapped? As i cant really find many UK turbo engines

the earlier engines have individual coil packs, whereas yours I think will have a central coil pack and leads, cant remember everything but if you post in technical you will get the answers there :thumb:

A 98 wrx wont have the same turbo as a 98 uk car.

Your safest option is to just use the bare engine from the wrx, use your existing manifolds/ turbo etc.
Idealy get a phase 1.5 engine, but if need be a phase 1 will be fine, just be aware there may be more to swap over.
Your existing inlet manifold wont fit onto a phase 2 engine.
