Can you get a Red-top WRX import engine or were the Red-tops only fitted to the Sti engines ?

The reason I ask is that i'm possibly after a used engine for my '96 WRX and have seen a WRX engine for sale that has a Red-top ?

 

only the STi engines game with the red inlet.. a lot of people paint theirs though..

 

you can put a red top in yours it would be better as they are a sti engine but you need to make sure it is a real sti red top as people paint them.

 

Check the engine code then? Better than relying on the inlet manifold.

 

That's what I thought. Im trying to find out from the guy whether it's an STi engine or not.

 

Right,the guy came back to me and said the engine code is EJ20 T

I told him i'm after the engine number/code to try and identify if it's an STi engine or not. He's addament(SP)that it's a WRX red top engine from a '96 !

Anyone tell me what the code should look like ?

 

give essex subaru breakers a ring i remember seeing a proper sti engine sitting in their workshop earlier this week, looked very clean and was a late one...

 

Thanks mate,will do
