Ok, so my roommates 96' Impreza wagon managed to have the crank pulley come loose, which in turn destroyed the Key on the end of the crank shaft. So for now we are going to weld the whole mess back together. But that's not exactly the good solution. So, we are looking into getting a whole different motor to swap in. I'm hoping for not too-high of mileage, and something that doesn't need a lot of work. Who's got a motor?
I've got a gilbert-red stained EJ18 with 22 intake mani.....will need coilpack and some other misc vacuum lines etc. but it's freeee
if it's that little half circle thingy that aligns the pulley to the crank....hahaahha you can pull out that alignment key and put on another.
I'm always giving away parts.....problem is.....they're rarely anything anybody wants. like 2 FWD AT trannies, and a used, mud-stained EJ18 :ugh:. I highly doubt max is even remotely interested in dropping a 1.8l engine in there.
Your right, If the displacement is changing, it's definetly not going to drop to 1.8...up to 2.5 or down to 2.0 is a possibility though...
