wrx sti ra internals

[Guest]

i have a 99 (V6) sti ra that has an internal knock, prob run a bearing/piston/conrod according to armstrong...

is it best $$ wise to replace block or have it opened and repaired?

also does anyone know of any short/long block upgrades fs atm

[Guest SPANKU]

wise... get a full rebuild

Trev just got his one done at PBM. decent price for a Ver6 sti rebuild

a few months ago my big end went...so i decided to do a full rebuild.. i went to macbilt in grenada north and talked to allister. hes said to be the best for subarus in welllington. they do quite a bit of work for a few cs members too. it all depends on how much you want to spend really.

but yeah macbilt were great. easy to deal with and kept me in the loop about everthing . even learnt a bit too lol

ended up costing me just over 8k..but everything was f***** in it, crank, bearings etc. so had to replace them. also got forged pstions and replaced things that needed doing eg cambelt tensoiners idlers water pump etc etc.

just done over 7000km i think. loving it runs mint. they did a perfect job on it.

dont know about the ecu but yeah i think you would need an aftermarket one..

[dubbedup]

you would be able to run it on the factory ecu

The photo shows a standard short block, a closed deck block wasnt completed when I took the photo.

my bad...

Rebuild it, forget second hand engines, especially considering you're dealing with an STi.

I can't say enough good things about PBMS btw, they were excelent to deal with, and my engine is still going strong under my rule 30,000k's later.
