Default Built EJ257 Race/Track engine

I am considering selling my used EJ257 as built by Pennine Subaru under a year ago. The engine has only covered 5K road miles and 6 Trackdays. It was running 460/460 at 1.45 bar of boost so not really stressed. The engine consisits of

EJ257 Block
EJ257 Crank
Wiseco Pistons
Steel Rods (make TBC)
Fully Reconditioned Sti4 Heads
Modified Oil Pump
Water pump

This is a complete long engine ready to fit. Heads suit upto and including version 4 (phase 1.5). This will drop straight into Classics from 93-98.

This is a really strong engine as can be seen on my youtube page. The car was running a syvecs ECU and mapped by Simon (JGM). It does use some oil on track but very little on the road. The main reason for removal is that I damaged my 6 speed on the way back from goodwood and have decided to go for a little more power whilst the car is in bits Any inspection welcome however the turbo and gearbox have now been removed. The link below shows the engine running at Goodwood last month.

Offers over £2.5K

Was a strange one TBH, off boost in 3rd gear tried to select 4th and found it was stuck in 3rd. Looks like it will be costly to repair too!!

Quite a bit of interest as a whole so not willing to split yet!
