Time for a rebuild
Right then, i need some luck.
After bearing failure on my Legacy i settled for a V4 STi lump mated to a VF22. Now that has just started that goddamn rattle :mad: This time it's going to be a strip down and rebuild. I might as well go stroker for what it's worth so i have compiled a list of parts i require. - ACL race bearings - Forged crank, rods, pistons (part of stroker kit) - Decent head gasket (Cosworth?) - Uprated oil pump - New modine - New sump - Heads skimmed - Other bits relating to headwork (valve seating, etc, etc) - ARP bolts I'm sticking with the VF22 for the time being. Anyway what should the bits above be able to take power wise 'reliably' and how much should i expect to pay for the lot built and installed. Thanks in advance. |
Saw your car at P.P. today mate. Its got a sad face :(
Good luck with the build. Im sure you'll get it sorted |

Anyone?
|
I've been quoted between £3-4k for a 2.1 forged stroker rebuild in my semi-closed block.
|
You need to add more info i.e what stroker kit you are going to use? How much power you expect to run & what you intend to use the car for?
|
Gazza at GR Performance is very reasonable for 2.1 stroker kits, you could build this into your current block or look out for a closed deck block
|
2.1s are our speciality, feel free to give us a call for a quote.

I'll be using the car for road use and maybe the odd high speed run. Power wise high threes would be nice. |
Go 2.1 stroker, 550cc injectors, 3 inch exhaust, sc38 turbo and remap and you are there :)
|
dont know if you are interested i have short version 4 lump with forged bits for sale built by alan Jefferys

Thanks Kas will an Open Deck manage a reliable low 4's?
|
Yes no problem with the correct internals intercooler turbo etc
|
Brilliant.

Ye easily. Safest level would be 450 but some people have managed over 500+. Depends what you want. Power bug is a bad addiction, who knows.. In the near future you may want more........... :brickwall Future proof for me certainly. :idea: |
