im after a scdb that needs a rebuild as im planning a 2.1 stroker,i have been to pr developments who advise me to get a scdb that has done reasonable miles but needs a rebuild so im wondering what one is worth? i know the closed deck blocks go for around £300-£400 needing a rebuild but they also require a rear thrust mod and possible new oil squirters so to keep cost down a scdb will be fine
if you have an sti bottom end you already have a scdb
thing is i cant be doing with my car off the road and this build will be going on over 6 months or so to spread the cost and also i would like to sell my engine as its a good one and can be sold as a long engine as im going for version 5 sti heads
looking for around 450/450 ish as it will still be an everyday driver (and yes i will be looking for a six speed at some point in the future)
the amount of money that will cost is so much you would be far better just buying a newage sti as these will run at that power without all the cost and hassle.

thing is i am quite attached to this car and i am quite a bit into it regarding money,i understand what your saying but this will be done over 6 months to a year

good luck then its gonna be expensive lol
its a nice car but id really ask yourself if its worth chucking all that money at it to get 450 bhp which you could achieve far cheaper buy selling the car and buying an sti.
nothing wrong at all with the wrx but to me its not a base for a big bhp car unless you have very deep pockets.

i do know what your saying but i could sell mine then go and buy an sti for £7k ish and the engine could go pop as its still a second hand engine
I have an engine I have removed from a 95 wrx import with a suspected cracked piston if your interested.
I am also trying to achieve around 400 with my new build and it's proving to be expensive :-)

how much is a semi-closed deck block worth?
