rb320 engine

just found a rb 320 engine low miles what would i need to put this in a 03 sti blob and is it worth doing or just rebuild original lump thanks devildame666

would need a remap. RB320 lump is 2.5L so you'll have more torque on tap

heads on the 2.5 are different, not compatible with the 2ltr ecu

Did the blob STI's not run avcs?

Yes but they run differant sensors which arnt swop able cos of the heads been differant

I've got a sti7 long or short motor if that helps

ya 4got to google for the answer first

this 03 sti still starts and runs just has shell rattle once you rev.every thing is there for rb320 ecu,wiring ets at extra cost on top of engine price if i need every thing.he originally asked £2k but i,ve manage to get some knocked off devildame666

to use a hawkeye ecu you would need the complete wiring harness, its dashboard out and whole front end off to change, many other parts aswell

looking like a viable option this car will stand mr roughly at £4k o3 sti fsh but with 2.5 converion just labour on top roughly devildame666

there is a full vehicle there getting broke minus a few panels and interior.devildame666

it would be much easier just to put the 2lt heads on the 2.5, swapping everything over to run a hawkeye ecu is quite a big job

Easyest option of the two. is fitting the avc heads to the 2.5 block, this is what ive just done to my own car



i think if your able to do the work your self you could do the full thing is about £350 quid if not less

could do it myself have all the gear and my own premises but had 2 plates and metal cage in spine in november so all that bending over and lifting would totally do me in lol..its much easier paying some one these days..my days of pulling cars apart and doing my own work ended in 1997 when we sold our scrapyard lol..think i need to sort out every thing to see where i am with it ang go from there.devildame666

Lol, only thought there was the difference in port size between JDM and UK and later ones having avcs including exhaust cams, thats why i asked. Youre only jella as the mere thought of google confuses you

lol the cam phase sensors are different peril and ya cant swop them over on the bug-blob to hawk and the hatch uses inlet & exh avcs

put the engine in here
