Hey guys, really new here but I trust I can get some good advice.
I have a 1998 Impreza RX, with the N/A SOHC 2.0L engine making around 88kw. I want to swap the engine with a 2.5L N/A engine, the type that the 06 RS has.
How easy/difficult will this be? I hear you can just throw it straight in but then there may be problems with the ECU? What about wiring looms, transmission, drivetrain etc? Will they be able to handle the extra power? (Going from 88kw to about 112kw). Will I need a new wiring loom?
I'd like to do the swap myself. Is this realistic?
Obviously with the right tools/equipment.
Feedback/advice would be really greatly appreciated!!
