Anyone have a source for Scooby engines :(
 
Blew my motor this past week at Watkins Glenn, trying to chase some BMW's.

Not sure what the cause was, but now I am desperately looking for a 2.0 Turbo Long Block.

If anyone has any leads or recommendations for me, very much appreciated.

I am located in NNJ, but willing to have it shipped or will pick up if relatively close
Thanks
Alex

Have search the usual subaru sites but haven't faired to well..

I didn't think that $ 750 plus shipping was too much money. Do you?

Familiar with Crawford, cobb, gruppe-s but those are mostly sti, built up sti or legacy 2.2T blocks..

I just need the low end 2.0 lt wrx turbo motor.. that will obdII compliant.

Thanks

Ebay? Haha, watch out you don't get scamed like I did. Long story, but basicly... I won an auction and NEVER recieved my engine. I ended up making a claim with Paypal to get my money back. I should also mention. The guy that tried to scam me, already scamed 3 or 4 other people. For a LOT more money. We're talking close to $10,000.

I then bought it from Nippon-motors. And I saved money over ebay. Only a few dollars, but a dollar is a dollar. I was Very pleased with the way my engine looked when I recieved it. Very well packaged. I'd recommend Nippon-Motors to anyone. If you're looking for a Subaru JDM or any engine.

Just my 2 cent. :laugh:

Thanks guys..

I was working with some folks in Canada.. but they took to long to get back to me.. plus they had mostly JDM stuff..

Did get a 04 WRX motor with 12K miles from IApeformance.. or something like that.. one of the vendors on Nabisco ;) Good fellows.

Right now the engine is heading my way, hopefully the shop will have it mid week and can budget time for the swap.. I have a new P&P TD-04 with ceramic coated hot side that my scooby will be getting..

Once it is in I need to take it back to my tuner (Rallispec) and make sure my incident was not the result of ECU/Tuning..

Well thanks again for the help.. Hopefully my broken motor is somewhat salvagable ;) Hmm Wrx heads, STI shortblock..VF22 this could get me in trouble.. If heads are good, this could be a good set up for my GL..

Take care..
Alex
