options on a rebuild needed
i've got a water leak on my v2 555 and i'm pretty sure it's down to a headgasket. now i've been looking at the enginetuner 2.1 stroker but i don't think they replace the headgasket so now i'm unsure. would be helpful to hear other peoples opinions, especially if they have been in similar situation
|
why a 2.1 stroker? whats the rough price on one of those? sorry I can be of no help with your questions....

sorry, I actually meant, why a 2.1 not a 2.2 or 2.5 etc... the reason I ask, is that I am going for 450bhp on my STi and know the engine wont last for ever, so looking at the options already :)

If they fit the 2.1 for you, then yes they will fit new metal HGs as a matter of course. :confused:
If you fit it, then you have to source the HGs yourself (unless enginetuner includes them as part of their "2.1 kits"?). |
They'll replace your head gaskets when they fit the stroker into your block. You can't go wrong with Enginetuner! Just give them a call with any questions you have, you'll receive top class service :thumb:

You're lucky to have 2 no-brainer local options, eh? ;)
That said, RCM are only about 8 miles from my flat and about 3 miles from my work...... Just that I can't afford - rather, don't want to pay! - their prices. :lol1: Used to go to Zen, but now they don't do garage srvices, now go to API instead. Both same distance from me - c. 50min drive. :) |

Yep, the middle of England is a great 'hub' isn't it? ;)

so what scoob have you got then? |
Nothing to write home about lol.
Just a 262 silver MY93 WRX with the usual gold multispokes/STi 5 rear wing, etc, etc. Got a Zen-rebuilt STi spec motor running 282bhp at the mo. Runs perfect (very quiet re det) - beautifully mapped by JGM/Zen. Have got various bolt-on mods accrued in the flat, ready to get fitted/mapped at API very soon, for around 380bhp... :) :norty: |

i say 2.1 because i would be supplying my own 2ltr engine. i prefer the 2ltr over the 2.5 anyway and when i was reading a mag article on rcm's gobstopper and norris' bogie evo (banzai mag i think) the rcm lads said the 2.0 ltr was stronger than the 2.5 so that made up my mind really.

They are refering to a 2l closed deck (not a 2l open deck as I persume you have). Most tuners say 450 is about the max you can push a 2.5 semi-closed (some people run more without issue).
