Default Saving up - Engine Rebuild

Currently my Bug STi has done 87k give or take and seems fine. However I don't want to end up one day needing a re-build with no money set aside, or any clue what spec to build it too.

So what would be advisable to add into a basic re-build, and what's the likely cost? Power wise I'm planning to get it mapped as soon as it's fixed (it's in AWD with a gearbox problem) so it would need to handle up to 330 ish as per the standard STi engine, but having the scope in the engine to go higher would be good

Budget for £3000- £4000.
£2000 is a standard rebuild.

As above depends on what kind of build your looking for.

Enginetuner 2.1 !

Bottom end only is abourt £2.5K, add headwork and ancillaries and yours will be good for 500 bhp.

Like mine

dunx

P.S. Mine is >400 bhp std, and >2 bar of boost, and dying due to it !

Thanks guys Doesn't look like I'll be having any fun in it for a while anyway. Some of the bushings needed for the gearbox problem won't be in stock until the end of the month so it is sat dead at AWD until then.

Bug STI is one of the strongest lumps, 330bhp should be a walk in the park. How long were you running at 400 Dunx?
