A fully rebuilt APi engine for your Vers 5 wrx STi type R is built using genuine Subaru parts, with the exception of the copper backed competition crank bearings ** which are sourced elsewhere, the engine comes with:
NEW standard-bearing-size crank & competition bearings.
4 weight matched & balanced con rods.
NEW pistons and rings & fresh bores. ** Since January 2007, all STi engines are upgraded to forged alloy pistons at no extra cost
Fully overhauled cylinder heads with new valves as nec.
APi rebuilt & improved oil pump.
NEW cam belt, gaskets & oil filter.
ALL re-usable parts chemically cleaned inside & out where appropriate
STi Engines get a repainted red crackle finish inlet manifold
For the sum of : £2200.00 - I recommend an upgrade to steel con rods as that will make the engine bullet proof up to 500 hp - cost is an extra £450.00 but seriously worth every penny.
That is a fixed price and will not change no matter what we find when we strip your original engine. We prefer to rebuild the customers unit rather than create a new
engine, firstly because it is quicker for us. Secondly, It also preserves the vehicle history by keeping the engine number, chassis number and registration number as a matched set to the information held at the DVLA.
If you need fitting we also charge a fixed price ; £550.00, which includes all liquids and consumable parts. The only possible extras might be a clutch or possibly
radiator hoses or sometimes, on the 1997 onwards cars, the rubber induction hose that goes from the inlet pipe under the inlet manifold to the turbo. The jubilee clip cuts into it at the turbo end and the damage is revealed on strip down. We will advise on these parts when we have the car in bits.
We also offer two quite simple, inexpensive improvements that many people find excellent value for money.
The first is a lightened flywheel. When an Impreza clutch wears, it generates heat that damages the surface of the flywheel. Skimming can generally save most.
However, faced with having to do something to the flywheel, most people opt for a fully lightened version at a cost of £150.00. The original weighs 12 Kg's and our lightweight one weighs about 7 Kg's. It brings the benefit of less weight in the rotating parts of the engine, meaning that it will spin up quicker and be more responsive generally.
The second is 'porting the exhaust headers' [ manifold ] The original headers are deliberately made with mismatching of the ports from the cylinder head, this a crude
way of keeping power down. By matching all the joins in the headers to the adjacent pipe we can improve gas flow and speed up to the turbo and get the turbo
spinning far sooner than standard. Usually Imprezas start to build boost at about 3300 rpm, by porting the headers correctly we can start the boost from as low as
2900 in most cases. This gives a much wider spread of usable power and is genuine value for money. Cost is £150.00 and done at the time of the engine repair attracts
no labour charge.

Now I am jealous 
, sounds fantastic. Keep me updated with the end result as this may be an option for a future project on a Legacy. I take it there is a similar option?
Thanks for the reply I look forward to seeing the car in the flesh
