Subaru Engine Swap PA/NJ

[OutOfStock]

Im looking for a place that would do a WRX swap into an RS. Ive checked Rs25.com searched and all that fun **** but all im finding is RalliSpec. I was quoted $6500 for everything but i was wondering anyone know other places that might do the swap and are up for 20hrs worth of wiring?

Thanks

Did you finally get a Suby?
+1 for Precision, since RalliSpec is shying away from doing swaps and their wait is until like October.

I found one....no1 wants my truck though. But soon very soon hopefully just pricing and such. and MuddyWRX= my hero

Anyone know there pricing for a WRX swap? I think im gonna try to keep th RS tranny and maybe run stronger gearings or something

[555RS]

Use the STI Type RA gears with a R180 rear, stronger gears and a 4.44 ratio instead of 4.11.

[piker28]

you can run rs tranny for a bit of time but it will be torn up quick and gearing is different

AZP in kenilworth is another good place to get work done
precision
rallispec

those are the main places id go to get it done

since you have no pieces of the puzzle id be like 5-6 grand to get it all done and working

Rally specs quote is 6500 hopefully the others might be a little cheaper

Edit: Thats without the gearing

You should talk to Bob who goes to red robin. He has a 2.5 with a WRX swap. I am not sure who did it but there are some custom things that need to be done like custom rad supports.


I don't think Bob is on here so look for him at the Red Robin meets.

Bob got his done at rallispec

pricing is basically all the same. around 6-6500. you can do it cheaper by buying the parts and doing the install yourself. Then goin to rallispec or AZP to have them wire it for about 1k.

Bob(beobe99 on here) got his done at RalliSpec. From what I hear though they are not doing work anymore, or are really backed up!!

Id need an EJ20 (of course) and a Crossmember and then just bolt up? Or do i need other junk besides the wiring junk that where i took it would have to do. then theres getting there....might as well dish the 6-6.5k for the swap all done there. Think i could sell Ej25 w/ 87k miles for anything?

[the mike]

Hell yeah, lot's of L guys use them as a first step, then do a WRX swap.

Hmmm this might work out. nobody wants my truck though http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...94122&rd=1 SEE

[teh DIRT]

yeah someone on rs25 will snatch up that engine. Youll need a crossmember and the engine. From what im told thats it.

Yea i dont know if ill go that far though....id have to ship it or something to get it there and i think the swap there would be less of a hassle

i'm tackling a wrx swap into a MY98 2.5rs - should be done by the end of summer...

here's some useful info:
- http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=386462
- you can use wrx crossmember OR legacy turbo crossmember (which is usually cheaper)
- sourcing parts yourself will allow the process to move smoothly and avoid delays
- you might want to consider doing the mechanical part yourself since the wiring is the most time consuming and a shop would be more willing to convert just the harness rather than the entire car.
- i'm only a PM away if you have any questions
