Default WTB: WRX long engine

The old RS has finally done a big end, I say finally cause it has been just short of a 300,000km innings!!

Looking for reasonable WRX engine to drop in for the time being, pre-98 to be compatible with my manifold etc. Does not have to have all the extra bits n pieces on it as I can 'pick n mix' with alternators, water pumps, belts etc.

If anyone has anything like this or if you know where to point me for a good deal please drop me a PM. Will be needing this soon!!

Many thanks,
Joel.

Thanks guys- yes saw the actual engine 'in the flesh' the other day while putting my car in at RMS... but apparently not compatible with everything on my RS.

Hence why I have stated 'pre-98'.

slot in the short block and sell the heads. Youve done in the big end so I assume the your heads are fine. What heads are you currently running?

yeah. if your using the RS heads. chuck em. Get some V3/4 STI heads so you can still use the RS manifold and bolt it on. easy 8000rpm.

Hey Ludwig, I was under the impression that only v3 heads would bolt up.. as v4 is 98 etc???

If v4 is the go, then I may definately have a deal with someone!!!

PS- Thanks for the condolences guys... but I'm honestly not that upset about it. Fantastic engine to cope with that much punishment for that long! A testament to the Subaru designing and manufacturing such an awesome product.

You can use up to V4 and still run the RS manifold. But V3 are supposedly slightly better anyway. More aggressive cams.
