Advice please (Cracked Piston)
Afternoon Guys and girls.
I have a 1995 import wrx which i have been using for track days while slowly trying to build for a race series.,,but on my last outing at cadwell my engine decided it didnt like the oil anymore so spat it all over the track:mad:, which resulted in a cracked piston:( All im really after is some advice on what to do next. The good option would be for a full rebuild but the cost of that just for something im thrashing around uk circuits seems to be a bit ott for me:cuckoo:. So would an STi engine fit in there by any chance and what turbo would i need to allow 400 bhp max. Any help would be great:thumb: |
If your looking for 400 you need to go forged, and if you can do it yourself then it's around the same money as a decent sti lump, other option is jdm sti bottom end but again they fetch good money and as long as your block is ok then i would rebuild it as i think you may have a closed deck block, which will fetch £300 on its own, only problem with second hand engines is unless it's a known quantity your taking a chance but if you build it yourself then its zero miles and not as expensive as long as you dont try to get silly numbers.
