VAL113R

The bottom end has gone on my 1993 wrx. The car is modified to 370bhp with 18g turbo, injectors, apexi powerfc, headers, induction, 3.5" exhaust etc etc.

Do I:

Rebuild the bottom end on my car. I can get Pistons, rings, rods and bearings for about £500 delivered from America. All I'd need is a crank and gasket set to build the engine correct? Heads were already skimmed a year ago when I done the head gaskets. Probably looking at £300 for gasket set and £200 to get remapped. So £1000 in total plus labour for rebuild.

Buy this long engine SUBARU IMPREZA LEGACY WRX 92-99 EJ-20 EJ20 ENGINE on eBay, also, Subaru, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 27-Apr-08 12:33:44 BST) and drop it in. Would still need to remap the car so £1000 + labour but labour would be less than rebuilding the bottom end.

Buy this long engine SUBARU IMPREZA WRX 96-98 EJ-20 EJ20 ENGINE on eBay, also, Subaru, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 25-Apr-08 11:24:00 BST) it is from a newer wrx with the front entry induction. A little more expensive than the engine above and not sure how easy it would be to install? I would have thought it will drop straight in but I am sure someone will confirm?

I could fit an STi engine. Not sure where to get one from and how easy this would be to fit to my WRX? Will it just drop in?

I could fit a 2.5 bottom end, but may be too much money. I want to get the car fixed as quick and as "cheap" as possible. By cheap I mean I don't want to spend £2k on a 2.5 bottom end. I also don't have much time so don't want to wait weeks on a 2.5 coming from america.

Anyway your opinions appreciated. Are my prices off? Can I get them cheaper?

cheers
