Roughly how much???
Budget price to uprate my 04 STI engine with better pistons, etc as required to be good for about 420-450bhp??
I'm aware of prices for turbo, injectors, remap, etc, etc, but not the actual block/asembly.
Cheers

Nowt ! If you are lucky.....
cdf racing do a set of rods & pistons for £520-ish
Then there are bearings, oil pump, head gaskets, studs, gasket set, oil and filter, and if you don't do it, the bill for LABOUR !
Cosworth short 2.5 in abox £3100 + VAT
Scoobymania have a range of options, or talk to Rick ?

But you can swap pistons without splitting the block, depends on the state of the bores...

Of course the rods can be replaced and stick with standard pistons, but at the end of the day if your going to do a job, do it properly, just saves time and money in the future IMO.

I think you missed a bit in there ! LOL
You can swap the pistons without splitting the block, saves money, and the rods are good for around 480 bhp !
Assuming the bores aint bad.

But its personal choice, if and when I have mine done, they will all be done at the same time for peace of mind, I appreciate the rods are weak part in the chain, but replacing one without the other is daft....IMHO.
When it comes to the engine, it shouldn't be about cheaper in the short term, because if it goes bang, then it aint going to be cheaper in the long run is it.
