| The RS has a NA 2.5L H4 making 165 hp and the WRX has a turbo'd 2.0L H4 making something like 224hp. |

| you can swap a jdm wrx sti engine of the same year into a 1999 2.5 rs, this is a swap smiliar to the sr20 swap into a 240. its about as complicated however slightly more expensive. |

Putting a turbo on a N/A engine is nothing like having a strictly turbo engine. |

This is true i want an engine that was built with a turbo on it stock and then upgrade later on :bthumbup: |

Yeah, it's true, but u can always built the na engine for turbo.
u get 0.5L more!! coz if u want to do that with the 2.0 turbo engine later it would still be lot of work. but it depend i guess, 2.0 turbo can still go really fast. |

i was just thinking about puttin in the 2.0L itl be a little cheaper and the power will be close to the same now all i have to worry about is getting the engine tranny and a damn lift :P |

| Every 2.5RS I've seen thats tried turboing has had major problems. Also, the NA 2.5 is not the same as the STi 2.5 without a turbo. They're completely different engines. |

can u tell me some of the problems?
and do u know 2.5 rs also comes with different engine in different years? i think there are 2 different ones. as far as i remember, one type of the 2.5 engine is easy to burn the head gasket.
do u know y i know? coz my best friend has a wrx....
the 2.5 sti engine is almost like the 2.0 in wrx, just 0.5 bigger, bigger turbo, injectors ect(also intercooler, almost forgot)....and has a valve control system....if i am not mixing it with the jdm sti......
and of cos, the na 2.5 is different that the sti 2.5. that's y i say "build it for turbo." if it's build and tune right, i don't see much problem.
my thinking is, since when u upgread the 2.0 wrx engine, u will need all those fuel supporting mod, clutch, and someting to control the ecu, why not just save the $ build the na engine for, put turbo kit in? and at the end, u have a 2.5 tubo.....but i guss a swap would be easier, but not sure if it's cheaper...
but i don't know about the tranny...probly wrx has a stronger one, so that would be better....
that's just how i think |
