Hi there guys/Gals

3 weeks ago my car had the sounds that every car owner dreads, rattling - Knocking

Now looking for an engine rebuilder - or engine to fit in my WRX 2002 Bugeye.

Engine number is: EJ205NW4BB

Whats the best option in this situation, theres a lot of rebuilders out there - but who to trust thats the question.

I intend to repair and keep as i love the car - so anyhelp would be great.

xxxx - Thanks

wicked

Thanks jura.

Im after a fix, as i said either rebuild or new - im not technical at all, all i know that its gta be changed asap - also on a budget (thats everyone nowadays) - so looking for a bargain price, willing to look and hunt for the right deal - cheers for the info pal

Im based in south london, so will require a garage nearer i reakon

 

Everything depends on damage,and from this will be price,i will recommend contact him.
I was at same position like you(mine radiator has been damaged badly) and pay for recovery track(£100 from Heathrow),because Neil get me best price here...
Second hand engine is big risk....

THANKS.

What you reakon it will cost?

 

Really i don't know without stripping,but i think at region £1.5-£2k maybe less,but this price will be Drive In and Drive Out(including oil,gaskets etc).But i think everyone you tell without stripping don't tell you exactly how much.

ok cool m8

cheers

 

i'll put my money on stew at tfs racing in camberley surrey doing it.

hes a member on here i think but also on surrey scoobies!?

dr-frankin-stew on surrey scoobies.

that is the website, he is quick and also has the ability to colllect your car i think on a truck?

may as well go uprated if your pulling the engine, so for 3k i reckon a built bottom end could be feasable!

 

There isn’t any in SE London as such subaru specific, I used to be in forest hill. Depending work required a basic rebuild, new crank, bearings, gaskets, etc will set you back £2000-£2500.00.

In terms of engine build work, im booked for around 5-6 weeks, your next closes I would think is FB or TFS.

If you need any help in the mean time determining the problem, feel free to call.

Cheers
Neil
