Mark, yhm.
Guys, I currently have a 2.5 motor from Mark, untouched in orginal crate. If anyone would like it at the original GB price, email me at richard.hopkins@emap.com I'm in Peterborough, Cambs.
I'm thinking of upgrading to the Apex Stage 3 motor Mark refers to above, which comes already fitted with trick pistons and rods. It's expensive and I don't need it now, but next year might be different
Cheers,
Richard.

For future reference I got a slightly more expensive / different quote, but with better components:
"Tony,
Thank you for you enquiry. However, we do not get involved in price
matching particularly when it concerns custom engines and such. We have
been building Subaru engines for competition for a number of years and have
had the opportunity to test and evaluate many different products. Based on
this knowledge the choice of compenents we use ensures that our customers
recieve the performance, reliability, and longevity they are expecting. The
components we choose are the highest quality products available regardless
of price, brand name, or other factors. This is what our customers have
come to expect from us and therefore it would be difficult to price match
with other engine builders who choose components based on meeting a certain
price level and not necessarily to provide the best quality product.
We utilize Carillo H-beam connecting rods because Carillo has the most
stringent quality controls in the business and use proprietary materials &
treatment processes that exceed the specifications of any other brand on the
market. They are quite a bit more expensive then Pauter (which Axis uses),
Eagle, and others. For pistons we use Wiseco for road applications because
the expansion characteristics of the materials ensure a long life with low
noise and reduced cylinder wall scuffing. They are also fairly lightweight
compared to some other piston brands.
With this in mind, our competition 2.5L shortblock runs $3450. We can cross
drill the crankshaft for an additional $150.
If you think you will have an order for several pieces we can discuss
discounts although there is not a tremendous amount of room to move on the
price. Thanks.
Regards,
Dave

Insurance for modded cars, try Subaru Insured. Run by Tom of Schofield Insurance. He posts as Rum on here enquiries@subaru-insured.co.uk tel 0870 770 6220
No problem with any of my mods, or the 2.5 coming. £740 FC, but I am very old, clean license, and live in a very respectable neighborouhood, as I'm sure we all do
It was suggested that my NOS idea might give the wrong impression, though

Glad to here it's up and running, let me know what you think to the engine, power and torque
[QUOTE= will I need a re-map though?
Adam[/QUOTE]
What ECU are you using ?
A remap would be very wise for protection and power output
