Talk me out of it.

107k on it. Needs an intake manifold. Never driven hard.

 

and throttle body.


Too bad you didn't get there sooner. When I first saw that car the it was in beautiful shape and the engine was complete.

BTW I know where the intake manifiold is

 

hahahahaha.

Do it.

 

Do Ettttt!

 

DO IT!!!! :fawk:

 

That would be soooooo ridiculous. Please do it! PLEAAASSE!!!

We could have a "make Xan's car even more bitchin" meet.

 

Ah, pull-a-part.

 

Okay so here's that manifold:

What else do I need?
Throttle body. Okay. Hmm...

 

dooo eeeeeeeeet.


i wanna go fast!

 

You'll need a complete harness too. This swap was in the pipelines for me, would be so awesome to see someone on wrxatl do it!

 

How much is it? I'd think that HP/$ a WRX or STI motor would be much better in the long run than an H6. Being unique is also good but may cost you more money in the end.

 

NA > Turbo though

 

ssh:

 

don't be acting like it ain't true! may be more expensive on subies but na power is much better!

besides those motors make 240hp stock (correct me, guessing), with a little work and the weight of his car, he could be having some serious fun!

 

im sure it weighs more than the wrx engine..

 

Not really. Someone who did the swap in a GC found it really didn't knock about the weight balance much at all. The wrx motor with all the turbo gubbins is by no means a lightweight.

 

Fast > slow. If you want NA power dont buy an import.

 

The whole engine (everything in those pictures) is $100.

:naughty:

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

 

Too true. Unless you build up an old Z.

 

Yeah, throw a 350 SBC in there and call it a day. Import body, american muscle motor.

 

:nuts::nuts:

 

427 cammer bitches.

 

lol wut?

Alright. I think I'm gonna do it.

Will: EJ transmission bolt up easily?
Mike: What else do I need besides the manifold, exhaust and throttle body?

Everyone else: How hard is the wiring gonna be?

 

Alright guys, here's what's up. There's another SVX that got dumped onto a junkyard ALMOST as far away about 1 month ago. What are the odds that its engine is more complete?

Also, does anyone want to come with me on Saturday to check it out and see how much of it is useable?

 

The wiring is the hard part. Everything else is easy.

And yes, your transmission will work.

 

i'd like to see it when u get it done. i think it might be neat

 

Wiring is going to be a major PITA.

 

It'll bolt up.

Everything, just in case.

wiring: If you aim to keep OBD2 compliant, you'll need a 96~97 SVX to complete the task. You'll need ALL of the front and bulkhead harness, then send your harness and the SVX stuff off to get merged at ECS. Then install, done.

If no need to be OBD2 compliant: Get an AEM and custom wire that bitch. Done.
