Well thats thrown a rod then. Best of luck with the rebuild.

Just a tip regarding the build. Make a decision on power/spec and stick to it. These things often spiral out of control taking much much longer and costing much much more.

 

That's properly done! I've not seen a Subaru blow it's engine that badly!

 

Hey Wiley, that was standard internals right? Last time i saw you were running about 360bhp on WRX internals. What do you think your new bhp was before the boost spike?

 

2.0 bar plus it recorded on the defis. so im guessing i might have made 400 bhp before it went

wiley

 

I saw you and you nice motor there last night, gutted for you mate. Good luck on your rebuild.

 

You needed an STI motor to run >2 bar for more than 15 seconds...

I won't bore you with my old video.

Good luck with the rebuild.

dunx

 

Simon JGM has a 2.35 with hawk Sti heads for sale

 

gutted 4 you

 

Gutted for you fella. Thats a proper hole though, kudos for that lol. Hope you get it sorted, good luck.

 

Gutted for you, but on the plus side, you properly mangled that engine, none of this "it rattled a bit so I pulled over"

Get a forged lump in there!

 

Don't know if it's worth re-building and going forge route. Might just drop an STi engine in with a few tweaks on there and call it a day

Wiley

 

Well done definative proof that wrx engines won't do 400bhp so much for the pub talk

I still think you should pay that bit extra for peace of mind and speaking from experience, it's always in the back of your mind when your giving it some and makes you nervous about driving it , which kind of defeats the object, and a good sti engine will still set you back a few quid.

 

There is a jdm sti engine up for grabs in the car breaking section mate.

hi bud duno if its any use to you i have an engine that the big ends have gone in a uk v6 engine its complete though not sure if the cams are any good as its sitting outside at present but would be fine for the block and heads for a rebuild yours for free if you can collect from leicester ok pm me if interested

 

Gutted Wiley

Forged route with your block will be too expensive,probably worth have look for low mileage STi engine or build short block

Wiley you are still running SimTek,if yes why you would use Boost controller if your Simtek will control boost without the doubts.

You are run yours VF34 without the remap?


Again good luck with your findings

cheers mate, i'll let you know
if i need it, i'll arrange a courier to come collect it

wiley

 

thanks buddy

guess because my simtek only has one map on there, wanted a low/high boost setting

wiley

 

Not good matey.

Simtek only one map? They all have two except the very early ones

Simon

 

50k sti bottom end here, only removed as i got a 2.35

 

pm me your price Stig

Are you actually suggesting the block is re-buildable There's a bl***y big hole that's shouting "NO"

Bad news Wiley, but having watched you develop your car over the last couple of years I'm sure you'll be back with something nice and exciting soon

I was going to say 'back with a bang' but considering the current circumstances that seemed the wrong wording .. lol

 

Crikey you certainly did that in style! Hope you manage to get it sorted.

 

Lol @ Iain. It will be back, don't know if it's gonna be a project rebuild or just a straight swap. That's what I'm considering right now

Wiley

 

Whilst I don't like to see any local owner finish up with a problem like that, unlike quite a few on here, I can't offer much in the way of sympathy, as you honestly admitted,(to your credit) it was self inflicted! Sorry!

JohnD

 

lol cheeky monkey..

 

matie thats spot on were mine went bang...

kept a piston as a paper weight...

im sure your come back bigger and better as i did matie..

 

Bad news Wiley

Was admiring the work you had done on your bug earlier in the evening on Saturday as well.

Good luck with the rebuild.
