I presume it's an ej20 impreza engine and from a newage, and yours is a classic.

If so then yes, you just need to use your inlet manifold Ht leads and coil pack.

Also bare in mind if yours is an sti v3/4 it may have better cams if the doner engine is a newage wrx, you may want to remove the heads and just use the short motor.

Yes to swapping coil packs maybe not the engine tho if from a different year, will need to swap your bits over if different

it come out a 1995 and going in to a 1997 thanks

All ej20 engines and boxes ARE interchangeable, the only difference on newer ones is 4 or 6 bolts on gear box but they still fit, some of the heads have different inlet manifold fixing points but the blocks are the same.

It will fit mate.

It will fit but you'll have to use your inlet manifold, MY95 heads aren't as good as MY97 ones though so you will see a slight drop in power.

soz my wrx is 1997/98 and the engine ive been offered is a99 to 00 so is this still possible to change my coils onto that engine thanks for any help

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL the same as long as it has the EJ20 stamp it WILL FIT.

I'm not disputing it won't fit but certain parts of his engine may need to be retained dependant on year is what I'm saying like manifolds, coils, etc hope that clears it up

But yes as a short motor it will be straight swap

ok thanks m8

will i have too put my heads on

That's correct, version 1 to 4 can use the same inlet manifold and they are interchangeable but version 5 & 6 are different so you can't bolt a version 1 to 4 inlet manifold to a version 5 or 6 engine, the short blocks are the same but watch the compression ratio and buy the appropriate head gaskets.

You will have to put your heads on if you decide to JUST use the short motor from the car in question yes, but not if the engine overall is the same as yours I.e same wiring to the sensors, inlet manifolds change over etc as they do vary I'm just not sure on what years tbh but Paulo above has given you the info on that side, may I suggest you do a simple compression test on the engine in question BEFORE you put it in the car, could end up saving you a lot of time and money

gsikevin

ok thanks

gsikevin

got engine the day and all looks the same inlet manifold change and it come with i good td05 on it hope too put it bk in hope all gos well

like too say thanks for all the help
