Hi,
I have a 2002 wrx bugeye. Was running fine with no noises smoke or anything, pulled up last night, heard a knocking pulled boner as I opened it the engine give a screech and died...
Not tried to start it or anything so not to cause more damage (if that's poss ).

Question is:
What engine do I need as keep seeing names like short block, long block, ej and so on.
Would an sti engine fit with no issues, would I need anything extra or different?

Many thanks in advance

 

Ouch, i dread the day this happens to me! I cant help with this specifically but there will be help from more knowledgable members soon!

 

Ok cheers mate.

 

Anyone give me a opinion on the engine that Scooby parts in the traders section has for sale please... It's on 1st page close to the top.
Thanks

 

get a proper rebuild by a reputable tuner. Give them the budget and take there advise, second hand is just that, you could end up back to square one again.

 

+1 - but, whilst i do feel for you and i shouldnt laugh at others misfortune, you're explanation that you "pulled boner" is forcing me to do so Hope you get it sorted out.

 

Pmsl, try ignore the boner and I've some advices... On the engine!
