i'd do it, and put a proper ecu in it.

N/A compression ratio, td04 conversion- it would go like a cut snake, maybe for about 10,000km's or so.

anyhow, these 2litre NA motors are cheap second hand, why not.

isnt there a supercharger kit for these motors?

Least it's something different. Not sure about legalities and insurance though.

thanks for the advice guys, would anyone know a rough pricing for a wrx motor plus installation? what would i do with my ej20 then? and if i get a half cut would i get like both front and rear brake etc like that sorta stuff? and anyone seen this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNgsbV7BQSA

ej18t

oh and im hunting for a good quality stock gc8 gearknob
cant seem to find any good ones round here

cheers

Put your EJ20 (with loom and ECU) up forsale on Ausubaru.com forum. Someone with an L series or Brumby type of car would love to buy it to do a conversion. It's a great upgrade over the standard motors in those cars.
You'd probably fetch around 500 bucks or maybe a little more if it's very low kms.

If you put a wrx motor in your car you will also need.
: Stronger than the na gearbox
: fueling
: ecu
: etc. Alot of work when stock wrxs are pretty cheap these days. Older ones anyway.

naturally you'd want to purchase a frontcut that includes the gearbox.

yep, really no logical reason to install a turbo on a non-turbo, esp when you can grab a second hand rex for cheap... you can even get bugeyes for as low as 15-16 grand stock these days...

The only reason you would try it is if you were looking to re-body a JDM RA or some thing similar.
JWS quoted me $4k drive in-drive out for a V4 STI engine into my WRX.
They can supply a full STI donor car and convert the whole thing.
They had a 99 2 door last week for under $10k. From my conversation I would think around $4k in labour to convert it and drive away.
For that coin you can buy a WRX, there have been a few in the for sale section lately at very reasonable prices.
Mine cost me $12k with 130KM's on the clock and a 3 year 3rd party warranty from a dealer.
$5k on top of mine and you can pick up a clean bug eye.
Insurance will be far easier to get in an aussie car as well.

my friend has bought the 2 door sti for trackwork :P
