    Thank you guys! My 2006 wrx 2.5 engine just broke a valve while I was coming to a stop. Planning on swapping over a 2.0. You guys answered a lot of questions. Thank you so much! Keep up the great work!!!!

      @@svrsxlt I was thinking of getting a wrecked wrx to transfer parts over. Do you think it will be easier to swap the wiring. Also what would you say is the hardest part of the whole swap?

      same here mine is approaching 200k miles and the amount of things that are breaking is crazy, I always thought a 2.0 wrx motor should just drop right in no fab needed but I'm coming across a few videos that destroy that idea lol

    • @beebzandtheboyz

      It can be done but the routing of the wires won’t match and if your keeping it manual you will need a manual xt ecm. I’m sure you’ll run into other things as well. Comes with the territory when doing swaps like this.

    Strange about the rear brakes, I have on stock USA WRX 2003 model brakes from some kind of 1,6l atmo shitbox. Didn't need to modify anything, just straight bolt on. Just because I don't give a shit about rear. In front it's stock WRX 4 piston with Brembo parts, car brakes just amazing.... But I can't believe, it doesn't work another way....

    You should have swapped in a H6 instead of a N/A granted a built N/A pulls on Wrx in turbo lag.
    But if your staying N/A and you have time to piece fuel lines stand alone and Harness do an H6. If you need to be back on road. An N/A will work.
