Evening all,
Can anyone advise me on the new wrx 2.5 engines you see for sale on eBay?
Are they a good lump?
Cheers

 

i have 2.5 short engine from my hawk sti got cosworth pistons cosworth gaskets standard crank and rods 1000 quid

 

Subaru engines are easy to go wrong if not put together correct,
Use a reputable engine builder if I was you.

Alan Jeffrey is one of the good ones, But not as cheap as Ebay, but far cheaper than buying 2 engines and the fitting costs of ebay, if you can see what I mean.

I posted my engine down to Alan Jeffrey, He re-built it then posted it back

Can you post a link, there are loads for sale on ebay?

 

Thanks for the offer but I don't fancy buying a 2nd hand unit. Bought one off here recently and it was a bag of sh1te. No offence.

 

I was originally going to re build my existing engine using strong components, but then seen these new engines from Subaru. And they cost slightly less. So I thought I'd ask if anyone knew how good they are?

 

WMS- not loads for sale but one chap is selling two new bottom ends currently. Do a search they often pop up for sale.

 

Hi sorry to hi-jack your thread i am also looking to replace my engine in my fozzy.

I keep looking at this option:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3006102734...84.m1423.l2649
Anyone had any dealings with this guy?

I have been given a fitting quote on the above at a fair rate.

This chap is local and seems to have a good reputation.

Api have given me quotes £3k + for a rebuild, and approx 4 weeks turn around time.
