What year "STI Foz" engine.....anything after 98 will not be a straight fit(different manifold, wiring, ecu etc).

V3 STI engine is a nice set-up.....if its truly a v3 sti(206Kw) it will be a step backwards going to the foz engine(175Kw !?).

Yeah i'ts a Limited edition 555 V3 STI engine unfortunately it's done a head gasket and it would be a shame if i didn't sink a bit of money into it whilst rebuilding. I can get the 2001 STI FOZ engine for a good price and if the swap was going to be easyish i could then afford to go all out on my STI engine rebuild...
I'm already running a POWER FC, external coil pack X4 front mount ect... But if the intake manifold is different and throttle body (i had a sneaking suspicion it was) i'm going to put it in the yeah na basket and keep looking either for another motor or just bite the bullet and do a mild rebuild...

Thanks for the info!
