ENGINE NEEDED URGENTLY
alright lads,
the engine i had arranged to go into my car (John Banks) i have just been told wont fit. his X plate original engine is too new to fit into my 93 WRX. it would mean i would need a new inlet manifold, etc doh!!! so now i need to get an engine to Dunfermline today if possible, or 2moro latest. please contact me urgently with anything you have will suit. a reliable turbo engine, with sensible miles is what im after cash waiting cheers |
|
kart man, yeh cheers mate. i contacted everybody and anybody!! but then had to decline once i got johns engine.
now i have to go back and ask them all again!!! teknopetes idea of just going the whole hog with a 2.5 i must admit is very very tempting!!! :) ;) :) |
The expense of getting your whole car to take the 2.5 is enormous.
|
Dunno if any use but there is a guy selling a uk engine with 30k on it on ebay, currently sitting at £62.
John, what do you mean the expense of getting whole car ready is enormous? i thought you only needed the 2.5 short block and everything else fitted. |
for al it's worth m8, i ended up just having the bottom end rebuilt, as it pointed more towards it being a safer bet. engine codes work out and you know how strong it will be, whereas if you get another engine, you will most likely NEVER know what all the new/secondhand engine has been through.
just a thought:) and good luck |
JohnnyR6, if you retain standard power and torque even, then an ECU remap would be required.
If you take advantage of the torque delivery of a 2.5: Clutch, gearbox, ECU. If you take advantage of the possibility of fitting a larger turbo and all that goes with it to truly make use of a 2.5, then you spend thousands upon thousands getting it right. |
drb5 - that is a thought mate. and perhaps the best. i really need my engine stripped to identify what has actually gone wrong with it.
|
the only good thing about stripping the engine down is you can upgrade parts as needed or wanted;)
|
You'd be surprised at how cheap a new short block can be from Subaru direct and you'll get the peace of mind of a 2 year warranty....that's what I did and the block itself cost circa £1600...twas the cost of fitting it and all teh gubbings that didn't help :rolleyes:
