Gonna be another 2.5 hybrid in the mix.

Just finalized the deal on an 02 WRX with a spun rod bearing. Gonna swap the drive train from my 05 LGT into it and run a hybrid engine with the 2.0 heads on my short block. Transmission and rear diff along with the brakes will also make the switch. Just got tired of my Lgt problems.

 

Well If u are looking to build another motor I have a bare 2.2t block

 

I have an 04 fully built STI block I'm my LGT. Only had 10k since it was built. Thanks for the offer though.

 

Good news from the Grand Master (aka Nuke). I can run my entire long block with the WRX intake by using a cam sensor adapter. The tear down of one of the cars will commence this weekend.

 

It will be just like mine!

 

Not Quite Ben, but close, at least it will be the same color. Thanks Josh.

 

Awesome! I hope it is free from gremlins and ghouls.
So you will run the wrx ecu without avcs?

 

I will be running the WRX ECU with AVCS.

 

02 WRX doesn't have AVCS?

 

02 does not have AVCS. Not real sure about how everything works, but I'm dropping in my 04 STI long block out of my LGT.

 

Nuke said it will be doable, that's good enough for me.

 

Did your leggy start acting up again? Is that why you're swapping everything over to the bugeye?

 

Yes, legacy is a losing proposition. I'm tired and out of resources. I have an 02 bugeye with a spun bearing already, so let the swap begin.

 

avcs won't be active with this setup.

 

That's ok too, as long as I can still use my 2.5 heads and cams

 

So what're you going to do with the LGT? I might be interested if you're getting rid of it...even with its demons

 

I will get in touch after. My plan was to scrap it.

 

What a brave soul you are.

 

Yea, he might want to research here for my posts before he raises his hand.

 

Already looked into them seeing as you've had plenty of issues with it. I'd be going backwards- probably a 2.0 or something. I'm looking for a new car, but I have an unbelievably strict set of guidelines for the new car- if I customize it I can make it work.

Sedan
Manual
AWD
Non DBW (yes I know LGT is, but I would make it work with a cable)

I'm not afraid of gremlins, it's my job to fix those for Toyota. Slightly different game but very similar playouts. Lemme know when you have time.

That WRX you bought- is it the black one with the rebuilt 5-speed,from CL perchance?

 

The WRX is one my son traded with his friend.

 

if anyone can figure out the lgt, its steve! (aka toyotanos)

 

The Gods peed on you

 

I've worked on a car or two in the past, I think some McGuyver tactics should git-r-done.

 

I was thinkin more like some C4.

 

If you are sayin you could be persuaded to throw it in a field and use it for a shooting target. I am in. Good old dirty shooting.

 

Anyone own a Gatling?

 

You're an engineer!

 

Yeah, but I never said I was an especially good one
