OUCH!
did your car die of severe det with the piston and the 4 valves by any chance? or of something else (apart from the piston going though the block )

TurboBoost

Does that mean they are as fragile as earlier STi engines then?

JDM car 3000km on the clock!!! Did give it a lot of stick thought.

Anyone got an engine then??

dhorwich

will you need the whole engine..?? is it pistons/bottom end e.t.c thats gone... you could order these parts, i cant even imagine how much a STI 7 engine would be they have not even been out long....... i think that the STi parts would more than likly have to be ordered from japan...

good luck..

rally colin

can supply a new block but take a seat when you get the price

1 piston shot, 4 vales shot, 1 head shot. Thought i'd just do a full transplant of a full block.

Anyone got any prices fo any second goods to repair, or full engine minus ancillaries and turbo.

Get the turbo checked. If you have done a piston, and some valves, chances are the bits have been blown out the exhaust side, and damaged the turbo.

Mark.

JapSTi7

Thanks. Do i need to take it to a specialist, or can i do a visual check myself?

JapSTi7

Yes just one piston, all 4 valves heads were found in the bore. Must be heat as it looked like they just melted off!. Sti7 was a tremendous let down in handling and pace. Very laggy, uncommunicative handling, no guts. Think i'll stick to evos from now on.

I can get V7 engines, they are proper money mind! but do come complete with turbo etc..
Mail me if your interested.
