RS/WRX/STi
-
Well ok I'm just tryin to find prices for a project, wanna save up until the summer. Alright I've seen a couple pretty cheap GC8s (Older 2.5 RS if you don't know) that are just fairly damaged. Well the part I'm confused about is, how much should I look for spending on a EJ20? Theres a couple on ebay for about 8000 bucks which seems a little high.

8k for an ej20 is RETARDED. You can get a shortblock ej257 from subaru for about $1600. figure $500 for heads (stock wrx heads from a salvage yard...www.car-part.com)), $1500 will get you into stand alone engine management. VF34 turbo and STi pink injectors are about $850 shipped. Fuel rails can be had for under $400. Not sure what a wiring harness will cost, but I suspect it will be less than $1500 (no clue...just throwing out a high number here). TMIC can be bought from me as can stock headers/uppipe/downpipe...as far as that goes, I have a turbo TD04E for sale as well. This is all ballpark off the top of my head so don't blame me if I guessed a bit high/low on somethings.

Hey thanks! Yea I was lookin at the first Impreza. But I don't have money or space right now. Yea I was think 8Gs was way too much for an engine, thank you for proving it to me. How hard is it to get like junkyard body parts for em? Some damage might not be bad if I can find the parts

Seriously if you want that ej20 for 8 grand you can take my vf39 off my hands too for a steal at 4K

Scary you hit www.nasioc.com yet? Great site, lots of links and info to help you out.

I have no idea why everyone goes for the EJ257 instead of and EJ22T. The EJ22T was found in 90-94 turbo legacies and is by far the most solid motor that Subaru has ever released to the united states....closed deck, can handle huge boost and are capable of upwards of 750+ WHP (aftermarket internals of course.) EJ257 is a semi-closed deck design that requires a fair amount of modification to make it handle what the EJ22T is capable of stock. For one, you need to dowel the block to keep it from twisting. There are numerous other advantages of the 2.2 liter (turbo) block.

i'd say forget the EJ257, The Impreza WRX was meant to have a 2.0. The JDM EJ20's are better than our EJ257 and EJ20s here...8grand for an EJ20 is alot but if it was a front clip from a JDM car thats about right...early STi's in Japan, Version 1-3 had fully closed blocks and after that they are semi closed but still very potent motors
-
if it needs hood or front bumper, I can supply you with those...front bumper cut to fit FMIC from APS. body parts aren't that expensive since you can use regular impreza body parts. Suspension shouldn't be too bad either (decent aftermarket support)
-
Headlights.....no, at least not yet I don't have any available. No radiator mount.
-
Is there anyway to repair the radiator mount or could I just easily enought find on in a JY?
Edit: On the headlights I like the eyelids like your, but also like the projector style ones. Whats your opinion? Its probably the eyelids but I would be doing almost the whole front end.
