Hi everyone

Currently have my 52 WRX bug engine, laid out on the floor. She needs a rebuild.

Currently searching for the best prices for my bits listed below. Showing parts required and the best prices I have so far.

Any advice on parts or alternatives etc is very much appreciated.

All inc VAT

Oil pump 11mm high flow - £162 Mark @ import car parts
Piston ring set £148 - Mark @ import car parts
Full gaskets / seals kit - 342.43 - Mark @ import car parts
Nitrided crank / ACL main and big end bearings - £545 - Mark @ import car parts
con rod x 1 £72.86 - dealer
Timing belt - Stock - £149.90 - dealer
oil filter - £13.98 - dealer
anti freeze - £24 - dealer
Oil x 5L - £33.31 - dealer
3 bond sealant - £38.14 - dealer

Parts total £1529.12 (so far) Hoping to chop a few quid off lol.

 

Mate, I'd rather send it away for a rebuild, unless your good with the old spanners. Ps, I've no idea what gaskets cost for a subaru, but 350 quid sounds crazy? Unless I've missed something buddy?

 

Conversely that oil sounds cheap.

 

i rebuild engines myself (including my own impreza,s engine) here is a list of prices on most items i got for mine hope it helps.

genuine subaru gasket set £350 from import car parts (includes every single engine gasket top and bottom end)

piston ring set £120 advanced automotives

acl race series bearings big and little ends £110 ebay

full timing belt kit £160 performance zone

oil filter £7 halfords

oil proof gasket silicolne £9.99 local auto parts supplier

i have a perfectly good crank (tested and not reground) and rods (tested all straight and true) that you can have for £120 + postage if interested i also own a garage specializing in subarus in west yorkshire if you need any help or even the job doing for a reasonable price

 

Just buy an STI8 bottom end and it will have all the bits including crank that you want but will be alot cheaper and stronger.

 

I agree with Steve, sti 8 bottom end would be the way to go and in the long term gives you the option to mod further than a wrx engine.

Is the crank nitrided and cross drilled or a standard one ? This could save me a few quid !!

 

The only issue with this is taking the chance and not truly knowing the condition of the engine ? If I could get a decent sti8 engine at a good price , this may be a better option .

 

The work is being done by a Subaru tech... I'm useless lol

 

[quote=Kennyboyd31;10753451]its a standard one matey

 

If anyone has an STI engine in perfect condition at a good price I will consider this seriously.

 

B4D HK had a Sti engine for sale out of a bugeye for a bag of sand however I don't know if he still has it might be worth pm'ing him
