    I'm interested in building a motor, but i'm not sure which powerplant to go with. For this project i'm think of buying mostly new parts. I've narrow it down to cobb stage 1 sti engine, or ej22T from the factory. Does anyone know a link I can read on what is needed to swap either of these engine into my00 RS.

    Your car would be so hot when it's done, Mr. C. You'll learn a lot from Erik's EJ22T install in the next couple of months. I'll probably tag along just for ****s and giggles.

    Mr. D, so that's why Bikerboy's been praising the GC Imprezas lately. :D
