Engine swap details, swappin engines into a st Options

[TCsteve]

Hey i was just wondering if anyone swapped their st engine(1.8) for a 2.0 all trac engine. If you did, did u have any problems. I talked to a toyota mechanic and he said as long as you have the transmission and computer compartments it should be pretty easy. Also i was wondering about the cost of hiring a pro to install it. If anyone has any knowledge about this swap please write back thanks.

thanks for the help so far bout the motor mounts but i was also wonderin about the exhaust do i need to do something for clearence with the headers? My friend had trouble with his exhaust dumping a GSR into his civic.

Based on what I have learned on this fine website and many others, what you will need for the exhaust is a downpipe from the turbo and a custom exhaust. I guess the downpipe would have to be custom too unless a front clip includes it. The engine and turbo should fit fine in the car since it came in the gt-4.
