hi guys wonder if you can help.


my wrx 2.5 hawkeye has started smoking on wot so I am looking for a replacement engine or a good recon.


this may not be the correct area to post in.


what I idealy need is someone to supply and fit the engine any recommendation

 

doesnt sound good but get it checked out before you go down the rebuild route.

Proper rebuild is your best bet, stay clear of reconned engines, typicly just jetwashed.

Scoobyclinic would be my recomendation, but depends where your based.

It's not gonna be a cheap fix though

 

I am based in surrey I know Scooby clinic but its a distance thing to get the vehicle there for them to look at

 

have you tried Dan @ Surrey Subaru Specialist - http://www.surreysubaruspecialists.com/about/

 

Is it burning a lot of water / oil?

Don't panic yet it may not be the engine, it could just be the turbo...

 

its burning a lot of oil shouldn't be the turbo as this was replaced by triton motorsports due to it having a crack in it.


its not using any water at all just going through a lot of oil

 

Has it got the correct oil feed banjo bolt and is the oil return pipe clear? Just something to check.

 

Worth investigating b4 getting an engine or rebuild. Mine was smokey, think it was the seals on the turbo

 

Subaru 4 You in Newbury if that's not too far a trek gets my vote, but there are a few options round this neck of the woods
