EJ257 block/ forged internals / 08 sti crank
 

I have the following built forged short engine
EJ257 Short block from 08 sti
Wiseco Pistons
K1 H-Beam Rods
2008 STI Crank
RCM Oil Pump
ARP Head Studs

Originally built by enginetuner in 2009 and run at 450bhp-500bhp for over 25,000 miles.
It is a built block and could be easily fitted and run as it never failed. I replaced it for a 2.35 stroker.
I am selling it as a going concern, and giving the advice that it should be split and examined as it did have a hard life and was beginning to use some oil.
I am looking for £600ono for the lot and is ready to collect now or be rebuilt at enginetuner. I don't have any pictures, but can ask Alan to take some if you want to see anything specifically.

how much oil was it using? Any smoke?

No smoke, I was convinced I had a small oil leak, after lots of investigating, never found one, so must of been the engine. Around 700-800ml every 1000 miles

Whats the actual cause. Piston rings? Or pistons?

Would you be able to send me a rough price if enginetuner was to rebuild it? In very interested in this for my 08 hatch!

This is now longer available as is, its being stripped by enginetuner.

Is it being inspected or rebuilt?

Inspected
