Rod bearing spun in 04 WRX. Parts for engine build needed, crankshaft, rods, bearings
Hi.
Not the most interesting first post over here but what the heck
I had my car tuned and dynoed last friday and guess what.. yes you already know.. knock knock ..
had the car on a trailer back home, engine was out 2 days ago and today i got the crankshaft out... spun bearing on 4th cylinder, and the other 3 was very worn to. very strange, oil and filter was only 500km.
**** happens.
Now im looking for parts to build a new shortblock. (blocks, heads and pistons are ok)
Crankshaft, rods and bearings (ACL bearings) to fit my EJ205 is what im looking for at the moment.
Im not to familiar with this engine internals, does STi crankshaft fit? STi-rods?
Car is a 2004 WRX 2.0, Swedish sold.

Is the rods used? Yes, the one with the spun bearing is history.

Just remember how much of a pain in the **** it would be building an engine with a crank you buy second hand and when you fire it up it rattles.
It's been seen on here plenty of times when people have used reground cranks etc.
It will not only cost you time but money too as you'll need to replace gaskets and seals.
That's not to say that the crank offered above is not fine but I'd want to know for sure before building an engine with it in.
After a spun bearing a new crank, new oil pump and new oil modine is an absolute must in my eyes. Taking the cheap option sometimes costs you more in the long run.

Do you know if there's a nitrided crank in all of the 2006 sti (hawk) ? Or is it just an upgrade part from subaru?

If it's a UK STi '06, I'd expect it to be a 2.5lt crank. Would suit a 2.1lt build !
We have the STi 9 cross drilled/Nitrided cranks in stock, ACL race bearing, rods, etc'.
