as for engine options, a complete ver 7 STi swap is plug and play with and 02-03 and you have about 8 wires to run to get AVCS working...aside from that, a usdm STi swap can work but AVCS won't unless you get a custom Hydra (the cost isn't too much more) to run the AVCS...or you can just toss in another none avcs turbo motor (2.0 or 2.5) and get a reflash done to correct your ecu for fuel and timing (only needed if going 2.5)
regardless you probably toasted your entire motor (heads too because of cam journals) and should be looking to do a complete swap/build.
...I don't have the money for all that...

+1 on that. You most likely will be needing a full long block, as Homemade stated due to the cam journals.

I think you have an appointment this week right?
...well I asked the mechanic if he put the tranny fluid in and he said no, that he put Royal Purple motor oil...and if you do remember correctly, you'll remember that my question was about transmission fluid...and If I could use the 75w90 on the rear diff and you said yes...which is why I bought 5 qts...but how would I expect you to believe me when I already caused all this ruckus for a confusion...an appointment??...I didn't schedule one...though I should to check what really went wrong with my engine...can I call or do I have to do it in person??...and I just remembered that I don't have warranty a letter came a while back to inform me that my warranty is out and I had the choice to renew it...and I didn't...I shoud've...crap!
...the warranty still wouldn't have worked...

the heads have a very slim chance of being alright...regardless, if you plan to dump that heap/wiped out long block, please let me know. I could bastardize it for a few R&D parts.
...well their reactions are immature...the good news is that tranny fluid wasn't put on where the motor oil belongs, believe it or not
...but still new/yong car owners are expected to do something stupid like that is bound to happen sooner or later...anyway, well I believe opie told me 1.8 for the rear diff...I forgot for the tranny since it was while ago but the mechanic put the right amount I was told by opie...

...Ladies and Gents, you have now witnessing first class immaturity...grow up kid...people do mistakes...thats how we learn from them...you don't deserve to post in this thread...I should've exhorted "Mature Responses Only"... but of course I wouldn't expect you to understand that either...and I've already mentioned that I DIDN'T DO THE OIL CHANGE...get it right!!...the right oil was put in...capiche?...doubt it........

as long as you learn from this and ask questions first before you do anymore work on your car then the engine isnt a total loss.
...stop!! your high level of maturity is too much for him to read!!...
