Whats is it out of a 2001 wrx?
What is the issue with your engine as you might only need to change some of it, Ie short motor? |

There is no top end on a subaru engine, You have the bottom end(short motor) which is usually the bit that goes, Especially if there is no oil in it, Do you have a knocking sound??
Then you have the cylinder heads which fit on either side of this, I take it to a specialist to get a proper diagnosis, There is no way that the bottom end would be OK if it has been running with no oil in it. |

You don`t have to be sorry mate,
Youll need another engine or short motor at the least or a rebuild of your current one which consists of new crank,new oil modine, new oil pump and water pump, bearings, gaskets and depending on how bad the damage is possibly rods/pistons/rings too, Depending on the cause of the faliure you might need some machine work done on the heads. Unfortunately none of which come cheap, Your cheapest option is buying a 2nd hand engine and replacing but you are taking a chance on where it came from and how its been looked after, Strongest replacement would be a Newage Sti short motor for about £7-£800 and then have your bits put on that and back in you motor. If you do a rebuild its gonna be about £2K done properly with the right parts. I`m sure one of the builders on here will be along soon and give you a bit more advice, Gaz. |
