i found this engine on ebay full race rebuild for £3195 seems quite resonable here is the auction. what do u think worth a go?


In addition to the standard rebuild i am now offering the race builds due to the serious amount of demand on these engines being race prepared - below is the standard build advert - the race build engines are basically the same complete rebuild but in addition the race build will have the following new parts added:

new generation cross drilled crankshaft - brand new nitrided cranks - genuine

full race shell bearing set - acl's

"H" beam steel conrods - generally eagle

Forged piston set - generally wiseco or je

blocks will be machined to accept the rear thrust crank and cylinders honed out to perfectly suit the pistons and clearance will be determined upon intended use - ie road or track.

new uprated oil pump

this set up is a serious improvement upon standard, the cross drilled crankshafts combat the oil starvation at the big end journal but simply doubling the flow through the crankshaft and thus reducing the enormous effect of starvation centrifugal forces impend upon the standard crankshafts at higher revs, this combined with the uprated oil pump is simply the best chance any subaru engine has to survive premature bottom end failure and especially in "tweeked" cars where the remap combined with injector/boost increases and improvements in breathing certainly take the standard ej20 to its limit of capabilities.

the forged pistons and steel rods are a great improvement in terms of strength and balance over standard rods and pistons, and machining to aircraft standards both on the components and the blocks gives the most precise of set ups.

if you have seriously increased the power output of your scooby then a race build will have to be a definate consideration otherwise you would very quickly kill a standard built engine - give me a call and discuss your requirements as there are still a lot of other options available to these engines - this set up is simply the most requested as it is relatively cost effective in terms of not having to go through rebuild after rebuild due to blowing the standard lump.

No mention of Heads, Head studs/bolts, sump etc...sounds like your 3195 would buy you a well built short engine ie just the assembled block halves with bearings, crank, rods, pistons and oil pump. Too that you have to add heads, gaskets, oil pick up, splash plate, sump and so on...it all adds up very quickly

Doesn't seem a very good deal to me mate

Robin Mullan

Seems like a fair price for a full bottom end rebuild

Mongo

What are the prices on the items envolved in the build.. I'm buying parts ATM

Pistons 450.00
V9 Crank 375.00
ACL Race series Bearings 200.00
Rods ? My arrows cost 650.00
Hone/Re-bore 80.00/180.00
Block modification if necessary 80.00
Oil Pump RCMS 145.00-185.00
Bottom end rebuild kit (gaskets) 75.00

=2195 +vat

2580 inc vat, leaving 500 or so for the labour on the build if your that way inclined.

How do you know the bloke on the 'bay from adam. Prices are from well known guys off of here.

Then you have to add head studs 145, gaskets 150 and the rest of it.

the build includes fully recon heads new studs, gaskets etc ready to drop in! my biggest problem is im in the shetland islands and its bout 200-300 mile away by boat and shipping parts block etc away and bak for honing etc will be very costly

Speak to Mr Forrest, he's closer to you than most: AndyForrestPerformance

You can get a Cosworth 2.5 bottom end from Powerstation for a little more than that price, tested to 10,000rpm and 800bhp.
