Got a question .. Hope someone can help ... I've got a 02 classic wrx replica estate 2.0/And. 2.0 well slow ... And because of that I don't drive it a lot . have other cars to run around in Don't won't to get ride
​​​​​I'm in love with the classic look and won't my kids to drive one day lol .. .. What will be the best and stress free engine swap which doesn't mean spending thousands .???

 

if you are talking going turbo it will involve a lot of bits including the ecu and supporting bits exhaust etc etc , cheaper to buy a turbo wagon i would expect , even stroking what you have would not be cheap , from memory the pistons in yours are different to turbo ones , projects can cost loads and never get completed , so as above by some thing built the right way in the first place

 

After reading your reply I had to take a glance a what' I wrote .

​​​​​​Am I going mad ...

My question ment ::: when the time come's what would be the best engine swap --- I.e don't won't to spend £7g more like £3g .

what would be best for a 2.0 awd slow to **** estate . but money can't put price on that classic look .. You watch 10 year's time spotting a classic Subaru "" Be like spotting a cosworths lol £££££££ and just in case you think I'm stupid put a turbo engine in it would be best idea lol

 

I believe that a mid mounted 911 GT3 engine is a fairly straight forward install on a
classic wagon chassis.These can be picked up for peanuts as well.Also very easy to turbo charge with Nos & a super charger for low down grunt.My mate John fitted his in a day but torque steer is a real b@sterd..

 

What a nonsense post. Go and buy a turbo wagon and be done with it. Swapping the engine is going to cost you thousands. If you really want to continue speak to a tuner and ask for an estimate, then be prepared to double it.
