new engine
hi ,
i have an 02 wrx that i was thinkin of havin re-built by a reputable specialist , but with my spec it should get about 340bhp which is my turbos limit and as far as i can go reliably ! but the problem with that is i know ill end up wantin more ( as u do )
so i could go forged build , then at a later date change for bigger turbo ? which is mega bucks !!
or fit another engine sti ? 2.5? which would b alot cheaper but can anyone tell me where to find a decent one ? does anyone know where i can get a decent reconditioned engine from ?? as i know there are lots of dodgy " resprayed " engines out there !! i nearly fell victim to one
appreciate any advice

£2K will get you a 2.5 bottom end with uprated pistons, with all standard WRX bits added you get up to 300 bhp and loads more torque, makes a lovely road car.

lol u could be right, but i think im gonna bring myself to just keeping it at least for another yr anyhow, let my points disappear off the licence and clear car finance so im not restricted with what i could get, what is it youve got done for 330-340 bhp

up-pipe
550cc injecters
pipercross panel filter
walbro fuel pump
ecu tech re-map
actually it made 302 bhp wen i had it mapped but that was just before it went pop ! and should of made about 330 ! i was gonna get cosworth induction kit, japspeed fmic , fuel pressure reg and other bits n bobs !! then maybe it would get closer to 350 . but now im not sure
