Heretik Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 Bottom ends blown... darn it. I dont want to get just anywhere to sort it... Best place in Kent for a rebuild/repair? Its a '98 STI.. Any suggestions welcome! I'm guessing looking at previous posts, I should really be looking at around £2-3K to get it done.. If I am going to get it done, I may as well add some more power ~ so any suggestions on sensible modifications welcome too! Cheers
HOL Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 A friend of my brother in law has just had a new engine fitted to his WRX, with a TDO5 for about £1400.00 by Essex Scooby Breakers. Thats fitted!
HOL Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 Forgot to add, Your car has a VF24 and version 3/4 (Phase 1.5) engine. The VF24 will never give you more than 340bhp - with associated mods. Also your ECU is not remappable. You will there need an extra chip, or replacement ECU before you even get past 315bhp. Its worth remembering the above, when you decide on your budget.
