Earthdog1 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Just purchased 2nd Subaru 2003 bajan engine blown. Looking to bring back to life. Have daily driver in 2014 Impreza. I have restored older muscle cars but want to do something different and the baja looks to be a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakedpotatoechips99 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Welcome Earthdog1, Baja N model. I see.Oh, blown engine. What do got in there, nitrous or turbo? Oh, I'm sorry, you must mean it is a broken engine. I suggest ebay for an engine. You might even get one shipped directly from Japan. Or a local junk yard or online re-builder. Or even a local re-builder. I mean, if you want to re build it yourself, that may take quite a while, and, if you've never done that sort of thing before, something could easily go wrong. Swapping in another engine, is something you might be able to do, or have a shop do it, or get a mobile mechanic to come and help with that.

Earthdog1 Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Thanks for the info. Fortunately I have experience in rebuilding engines. My experience is in American muscle cars, not Japanese cars. I am not particularly interested in rebuilding another so a replacement engine would be my preferred method. Starting to get into the nuts and bolts on Subaru technology and researching what engines would be a good swap for the baja. Any technical information would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
