Hi all i think my engine blow today
Looking into options on what to do.
I'm thinking of getting a StI lump to replace my old WRX engine.
Just wanted some options on other ways to go about it. Fix my old engine buy a second hand StI engine or scrap the car?
If you agree with the buying the STI lump is any one selling a good one? And also would i need to change the ECU or any think else?
If a rebuild any one know a good place to get it done? Or prices?
Cheers for any help.

Hi there
Depends on damage,but I would go with rebuild or with 2.1L if its budget on this
If not cheaper fix will be using STi block,but still if you want use AVCS heads you will need to replace loom for STI plus ECU etc and this can be expensive,second option reuse yours heads on the New age STi block and you will don't need change the heads etc.
Just you will need to buy headgasket plus other bits and skim yours existing heads which again will cost some money
Depends on budget,but at first speak to engine builder and ask them for quotes,we are using only Neil@Slowboy racing which is located near Brands Hatch
Good luck

If you want to swap STI v7 engine to yours,you will need aftermarket ECU which can control AVCS or to do full swap including wiring etc,yours current ECU can't control AVCS
As above I said yours option which means,no easy swap if you are looking at more details
At least you are don't need engine,gearbox is cheaper option than engine swap
