My01 Ej20- my02 Ej20
Will the 02 wrx EJ20 be a straight plug'n'play with the my01 Wrx ej20?
Think i may have found a suitable block to replace my now shagged my01 ej20 big-end bastard. |
both bugeye, both the same
|
Thank you, kind sir!
Is there any info you can give me on buying a 2nd hand block? This one has 63,000kms (full long motor) And is fairly cheap.. Apparently runs perfectly. |
Any second hand item is a risk, hence the price. I would do a comp test, new fluids and at $1000, suck it and see.
|
Yeh, well comes supplied with oil pump, sump and waterpump ect too.. Worse comes to worse, should be able to nab the bottom end for my engine, = 1 working engine and parts to fob off for spare cash i guess, try to recoupe losses haha.
|
MY01/02.. exactly the same.
When you say long motor, does it have heads too? If so, then it should drop in with minimal fuss.. thus reducing your labour costs. |
Yep, heads too!
As far as i know, my current engines big end bearings are gone.. So hoping to just replace the engine with this one. Or else, mix n match! Still trying to figure out what to do. |
If I were you, I'd:
- Get report from Subaru mechanic - Get photos of damage (metallic particles in oil indicating spun big end bearing). - Hit dealership up for cost of 2nd hand motor - Buy that 2nd hand motor - Get a Subaru specialist to install it (shouldn't be an issue as a long motor swap is fairly simple.. try All-Star Garage, Maximum Motorsport or STechnic as 3 good examples of workshops). |

I'll give it a shot guys!!!!
Ill attempt to have all this done by 5:30 pm today, as thats when the long motor becomes available. Should the dealer refuse to have anything to do with it, dad wants to go to court. Since i took finance through them, for the fked car, that im now left paying for+loan. I've only done 2000kms since purchase... ridiculous. |
