Re: 02' WRX swap info

if you're not familiar with engine swaps or familiar andi mean REALLY familiar with subarus DO NOT swap the motor unless you're ready to fork over MAD cash to a shop to fix your crap. wiring is pretty extensive and pretty complicated, not to mention some of the custom 'fitting' you'll have to do with piping, hosing and all that.

but if you're hard headed and still go ahead with it....you'll need engine, tranny, ecu, as much of the wiring as you can get, wiring manuals for both 2.5 and wrx, turbo crossmember, exhaust, all the sensors, and lots of time.
