Hi,

Need a new engine for my JDM STI7 (MD321T, FMIC ETC ETC) and need a built 2.5 which can cope with 450 HP a little better than the old engine (R.I.peice) Does anyone have any idea roughly how much a built 2.5 will be? Has anyone used SW Motorsport for an engine build, Steve is local to me.

Cheers

Have a look at this.

Fully built 2.5ltr short motor........cheap!!

Maby another option

Engine rebuild packages

 

is that right £ 995 for a rebuild with forged pistons, that cant be right mate

 

That would be just for the parts.

It Can be done for a sh*t load cheaper than that.
The SC package is a cracking package for a drive in drive out solution however if you're comptetant with spanners and have the space, time and inclination then the DIY solution can be done for alot cheaper than that.

Perhaps the OP can advise of of his current spec which would give a better idea of what he needs to purchase to achieve his goals.

 

Gearbox u won't need u got a 6 speed already so that saves u 3k. Ecu and supporting mods turbo and engine if you shop you will find cheaper I had my 2.5 built forged by engine tuner and it didn't cost anywhere near 9k but then good idea as daz suggested u might be better of telling us your current spec

 

I take it your north of the border and your talking about Steve Whitson ya?

If so your a lucky chap to have him on your door step and Andy.F another few miles along the road, I'm taking my car down to Steve's tomorrow to get some work done, He comes very highly rated do a search for him on here or SIDC and youll see for your self

 

Basically, if you're not confident/competent/in a position to do it yourself, you're looking at about 7-8k to get it done on a drive in, drive out basis (as you already have the 6 speed gearbox, decent suspension and brakes). It's not the engine that's the expensive bit, it's the ancillaries - it all mounts up very quickly.

For those who need a better gearbox, yep, you're looking more along the lines of 10-12k.

if you have the rest of what you need and just need a forged 2.5 shortblock and it can be done at any good engine builder for a lot less than you think
block with premium crank rods and pistons is not killer,

 

i would say 99% of subaru owners are not in a position to take on this sort of project on their own, so a drive in drive out package is usually the best option.

 

the guy just asked for a price on a 2.5 that can handle that power to be honest the engie build should only cost about 5000.00 and engine tuner alan will do and 2.1 stroker in a cdb which will take that for less then that, roger clakre sell a 2.5 block of the shelf with a forged crank for about that money

The whole engine itself parts and build 4-5k ish
However as metioned turbos, induction, exhaust mainfolds, injectors ect etc can add up to a fair few K
So what have you got currently that could be used on a 450hp car?
And what would you need to buy?

Will you fit it yourself?

Then you have the end figure

 

the cosworth deal with the standard crank is a nice,
standard crank in my sons lives with 600 hp

 

Badbird is that in a classic? if it is hats of to you guys you both must be some good drivers

 

nope sorry its an 04 blob sti, we did the classic thing but the blob is just a far better car, not so raw as a classic but with 600 its a whole lot of fun,its my sons car but i like to steal it sometimes

 

i bet you do have you had it on the strip yet? or is more a track car?

 

I had the pleasure of assisting with the build of this motor.

It's an awesome piece of kit

 

its been on the strip fried the exedy twin plate too

TBH its more of a street car my son even goes to work in it,
I wont begin to tell you his top speed so far.....

it was just a project after having a 430 type r v3 same old story break the motor then build bigger and badder,

 

aha so you worked for paul?

 

Yes - and i bought your old Type R

 

Did the trailer hold up, we was prety worried

did you fix the car up?

 

I have 340 bhp 2.5 sti type uk what would it cost to make it track proof not to bothered about any more power, cheers steve.
