Default How hard would it be.

I'm just getting in to modding my 95 civic and I want to make it all wheel drive and I want to use a 2002-2007 wrx motor.

So it's not a good idea to do it the other way around and put the motor from the wrx into the civic instead because I don't have the knowledge, equipment, tools or ability to do all the body and chassis modding he did to accommodate the civic parts

it won't cost you less (almost certainly will cost more) to turn a civic into a WRX than it would to buy a WRX after selling your civic.

another reason to give up now and just trade in the civic on a WRX.

B18 turbo done correctly makes really good power, I've beaten couple in some roll racing, but all depends on how you set your car up, if you really wants a STI that bad it would be best to start saving and get one down the road,
