BH Single Tirbo big end failure what do?

[broku420gtb]

My single turbo GTB has just done another big end.

It hurts, so Im weighing up netween a rebuild, a new longblock or a complete motor from japan..

It needs to retain a v5/6 manifold pattern, as thats what my links all wired to and same sensors as what I have on my gtb longblock.

Any suggestions on best route/recommendations

damn badluck on the BEB or is it?, out of curiosity would continual beb failure be only due to failing spark,fuel,air mixture etc, pretty much anything that causes the engine to fight its self and bring hard pressure down on the crank. If that's true then if you have good ignition and good tune(etunes are notorious for det) and good oil feed u should never run bebs. Gota be a reason you keep running bebs. If your heads are still all goods http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/subaru/engines/auction-787716702.htm

or this: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/subaru/engines/auction-787458878.htm Im pretty sure this wont be inline bolt pattern but ask him to be safe.

Assuming you are in chch?

I hope someone more enlightened than me posts for you cuz im really curious about why everyone keeps running bebs in there ej's

also evowrx was selling an engine on behalf of someone, don't know what year it was though.

Engine ive got in fs was v3/4 so no good. That foz engines not 98-00 like the auction says either its the v5/6 ej205 engine in the phase 2 foz. I would strip the old one and try and figure out what the bearings tell you and get car checked on the dyno after new engine goes in at minimum.

It started misfiring then, a couple days later just failed started it and it knocked, thought it might be piston slap so warmed it up and it went away but when you rev the motor it still knocks. Yeah The cars parked up at the moment just waiting for some space in my mates garage then we going to pull the motor out and strip it down.

Oh yeah Im in Hamilton btw, but shipping is cool haha
