Hi guys,

After removing the engine from the car (STI Type r) due to HG failure. I have noticed that there is a few things i dont like (sealant around joints,stripped bolt heads etc).
The engine had a rebuild (alegedly) and i have the receipts but i doubt the persons competence who rebuilt it as its simply not a professional job.

I am considering buying another engine so i know its right. Is there anyone who sells recon engines and will p/x with my old one.

Cheers

 

There are places that sell "recon" engines and will do a px on it, no one in their right mind would buy from such a company though (SMR/IDEAL etc) as they are rip off merchants.
Rebuild is your best bet if you dont want to waste your money.

check this guy out,, i have stood talking to him while hes been building engines, nice fella and all he does is build subaru engines

 

all depends on budget mate. i personaly would show my money to engine tuner (alan jeffrey) for a 2.1 forged short motor for just over 2k

 

Yeah my initial thoughts mate. was gonna just do HG and a few other bits to a high standard, but then i notice the rest is not up to scratch
Pis*es me off when someone has already had the engine out and made a c*nt of it I wont name and shame the company just yet

Cheers Guys i will look into this aswell, want someone with a good name (although the tw*ats who rebuilt it last time do have a good name???). Gonna have to check the bank tho

 

at the min jdm has a holy mother of a lump for 3k, wossner 92.5mm pistons, perfect crank, lined bores, eagle rods, acl race bearings ecc , cdb good for a safe 550
