2002 JDM impreza WRX STI Prodrive Style
 

Hi everyone,
not really a computer person so sorry if this is wrong. some of you will already know me from the nurburg ring this year and will have heard me talking about the above car. I am about to buy my first Subaru on sunday but it has a little problem the engine knocks, if anyone has any advice as where to get a long engine from then my ears are open as don't know who I can trust. I would like a long engine as do not have the time to mess about swapping heads etc my engine code is EJ207DW4CR thanks for any help in advance. I will put some pics on once I have got the car home.

:welcome: to SES. it is good to see you here. :five:

Yay, you found the keyboard. Before anyone asks, hes more than capable of doing an engine swap, just want to make sure we find a drop in replacement. Assumimg any STI 7.- 9 lump should drop straight in prividung it's not a twin scroll setup.

Yes I know it took ages but as you know I have been a little busy.

Hi there Toby :wave:, nice to see you finally bought one, good luck with getting it sorted :ok:

A standard jdm bugeye ran a vf30 turbo and didnt go twinscroll until the blobeyes iirc

Being JDM I think it will have tumbler deletes and AVCS so make sure the replacement is an AVCS lump and swap your manifold and wiring over.

Vf34 was on the bug sti jdm uk cars got the vf35 , the uk sti bug also has tumbler delete , best bet ring matty at pole postion and you will get a long block for around £7-850 , I've used him couple times now and had good service ,

Matty doesn't have anything to do with pole position anymore, he has his own business now:

Hello mate and welcome aboard :-)

Hi & :welcome:

Hello again :wave:

Glad you ended u getting in Toby, you can show your Bro' how to do 'The Ring' next year then.

P.S All STi Newage run AVCS and early JDM Bug were running the VF30. VF35 came later (Blob) and VF34 (roller bearing) on Spec-C.

My bug sti had vf35 stock

Seeing as it will take him an age to figure out uploading to Photo bucket and then how to put the links in I thought I'd save him the trouble :)

Other than an engine the first thing we need to sort is that rear fog light!!!

Hello mate,
Nice bug:doubleup:

hello and welcome ! Another bug person! yay !

Fog light removed bro need to put it in one of my reversing lights. Have brought an engine from Matt at MB Developments might also have added a full de cat exhaust at the same time oops. Thanks for all the welcomes and to my bro for putting the photos up.

Looks very nice, is the roof vent standard or has it been fitted by previous owner? And are the brakes brembo's ? Good to see another proper coloured scooby.

Yep, standard fitment on the JDM car along with Brembos, new engine on its way.

That'll be a cracking bugeye once its on the road, nice one :ok:

:welcome: to SES fella, how is Ascot? :) Speak soon

Greetings:welcome:

Lots of bits removed

Engine was in last night, fired up on the first turn of the key, just final plumbing in and tidying up today ready for the MOT this week.

Nice :10: and good sensible power.

Glad you got there in the end with the car :)

Been a nightmare journey to get there though, not for open discussion on the forum but I'll fill you in at Brands. Turns out the reason for the original engine failure was a duff fuel pump and still running the JDM map on UK fuel, poor thing didn't stand a chance it was so lean. Toby had to change the fuel pump at SRR to get it to run safe, thankfully Duncan carries them with him so it was a quick change in the car park and then back on the dyno.
