Hi all
just having engine rebuild after oil pump decided not to play ball
im having everything changed apart from the main block ect which is getting skimmed n machined etc.
how long can i expect it to last driving it daily with the odd blast and doing normally 2 rwyb a year.
its a v5 sti it had done 92,000miles before oil pump went.
can i expect 100,000 miles from it as long as its regulary serviced and always warmed and cooled. only have a few subtle mods around 330bhp
thanks all mick

 

if its a quality rebuild then it should be better than new. Obviously the sundries like water pump / oul pump (which you have already discovered) can fail and cause engine problems, but assuming everything working as it should then it should run and run (my own 92 wrx had over 140k on the clock when I sold that, and I believe it is still going strong)

 

nice one its being done by zen performance so should be 100% having new water oil pumps gaskets bolts pistons crank rods etc so hoping i can get at least 90 k apart from a bigger top mount and a remap im not planning to mod much more power wise

 

How much if you dont mind me asking?

 

Would be interested to know. I had a brand new IM-EX Pro engine supplied by Subaru for my P1 which let go. £3299 + VAT + fitting. Brand new, genuine, and with a 3 year/60k warranty as well.

 

think i will be looking at 3-4k fitted back in ive taken it out already not to sure yet but ive already got crank rods bearings big n main fuel pump and they will supply and fit the remaining bits does that sound right 3-4k

 

did that also include finding the cause of the previous engines reason for letting go?

 

iv just payed £4500 for new closed deck short motor + uprated fuel and oil pump from api...fitting included in the price and fitted at re motorsport,currently in the process of bedding her in

ACL race bearings
API uprated oil pump
ARP head bolts
full engine gasket set inc rocker sets
