How much work to change Bottom End
I keep reading how cheaply you can pick a 2.5 bottom end up for, i was just wondering how much work (labour wise) it is for swopping it all over.
Car is 02WRX
Some more questions to
Will the heads off my 02WRX be man enough for it?
What else needs changing to support it?
Is gearbox up to the job?
Is a TD05 16g enough or would it need to be bigger
Now, (if i did) A 2.5 running with a TD05 16g, ported headers, full decat, STI8 intercooler, with a really good map. What could i hope for in power terms?
Last one
Would my standard WRX bottom end be worth anything to speak of, once removed?
I look forward to the replies here

Are you doing the job yourself then?

It all adds up
water pump
oil pump
cambelt
tensioner
exhaust gaskets
inlet manifold gaskets
water pipe gaskets
rocker cover gaskets
PFR7B plugs
oil
filter
sump Oring
turbo
more oil and filter after run in
remap
and anything else I've forgotton (probably)
erm clutch
new gearbox perhaps!
on a 16g you could get 330 of each
Rough guess
£500 parts
£500 labour
plus turbo
plus remap
and insurance
perhaps clutch
perhaps gearbox
assuming you have all neccessary gauges/monitoring devices for a 50% power hike

02 wrx has 380 injectors, so you'll need to change them, with the obligatory fuel pump upgrade!

I suppose new brakes would have to budgetted for as well

Labour might be optimistic, but it really isn't that much more than a head gasket change - get some quotes. Parts about right
