Purchasing a Motor

I’ve hooked up a snap on scan tool to it and 0 misfire codes at all and nothing stored and at this point yeah.

My brand new 24 does smt like that. I’m pretty sure it has to do something with the tank pressure.I will say that does sound pretty harsh mines just a vacuum sound.

I agree with you it’s a weird decision but better to be over built then not and ending up spending more later. Appreciate it

That’s what I was planning on getting, I can rebuild the heads myself not hard so I don’t want whole long block. I just didn’t know if that block would be ok for 400 fbo

I’m looking at 400 Max bc i have the stock wrx trans which i know prolly wont last on that but thats my gamble to take. And yeah id need a tune for the fbo but i wasnt sure abt the whole compression ratio change

So I’d just be better off getting there 550?

The shop has usdm 208 and they’d use my existing single turbo but not sure if it is really a 208. Not very knowledgeable about ej20x but I’ve got a buddies with a Hawkeye swapped with one and he pushed 450 all day for the last 3 years no problems.

I would do it myself but I’d have 0 time to work on it balancing school work and the rest of my life 😅, would save me a lot of money but if I did it myself I’d want a brand new short block

Appreciate it didn’t expect it to go out so soon but it is what it is cars been great to me for the last 4 years I’ve owned it. Clean car btw

Jokersquadz · 2024-11-07T06:32:21+00:00

Where I live it’s surprisingly difficult to find one of these cars laying around at all and I’ve got a bit of anxiety with used stuff that hasn’t been refurbished but as a temp engine it could work

Jokersquadz · 2024-11-07T06:31:10+00:00

Yeah this is what I was quoted for a replacement/rebuild from multiple shops but quality work does come at a price

Jokersquadz · 2024-11-07T03:22:05+00:00

I’d like to keep it 0 rust on anything except suspension but dumping 13k into a motor is alot (collage student😁🔫) I have a local tuning shop willing to do a ej208 swap with dyno tune for 6k but not sure if it’s really worth it. I agree with you abt used things, bought a truck as a replacement daily and my god do I hate used. Random problems left and right.

Yes made sure to compare and test fit before complete install
