WHAT WILL I HAVE TO DO TO DO IT ITS MY 1ST TIME BUT GOT TOLD ITS EASY

 

its not that bad a job to do! half way throu doing my mates! you will always get the help you need on this site if you get stuck! whats gone on it or you going for big power so uprating?

 

As said above it's not that difficult. Just make sure you're obsessively clean.
Be methodical and follow the workshop manual to the letter and you'll be fine.

When I started this DIY tuning malarky I was a complete novice. I've done numerous rebuilds from scratch including my own 600bhp build and nothing has let go yet (touch wood)

Go for it and have a go at it is my advice

 

ive got a 96 wrx engine but the engine in th euk is a turbo 2000 is it th same bottom end and where can i get diagrams to show me how to do it thanks

 

my mate got a print out of a step by step guide off the net! when you thinking of doing it as can ask him later what site it was and let you know?

 

cheers chippy

 

no probs mate! will let you know what site later!

Hi mate I am in the same boat as you I have been given a price on a brand new v9 crank and competition berings for £580 if I can get 4 more to buy with me they will do them for £550 if you are interested drop me a pm If any one on here can tell us where we can get these parts for a better price let us know

 

Look on Projects. I'm just about to finish my own 'budget DIY rebuild'. Not so 'budget' any more, but my first ever engine build.

 

dont think the v9 crank will fit a classic as the v9 is a rear thrust when the classics are a center thrust!

 

iv just done mine, pretty straight forward, just gotta check things and re check, depends on how far u go, depends on how complex it gets
