HI ALL COULD ANYONE GIVE ME ADVICE ON REBUILDING MY CLASSIC, I KNOCKED A SHELL AND PROBERLY DONE CRANK, ITS WAS A RECON ENGINE AND ONLY COVERD ABOUT 3000 BEFORE IT LET GO, DONT WANT TO CHANCE BUYING A SECONDHAND ENGINE SO WAS WONDERING ABOUT REBUILDING MINE, ARE THEY ROCKET SCIENCE OR QUITE EASY TO SPLIT. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE WELL GREATFULL. DAVE

hi all, does anyone now were i can get my crank regrounded, i also want it cross drilled and nitrided, im in the kent or se london area, cheers anyone

hi again all, does anyone now if i can put a 2002 sti engine in my 1997 wrx import. dave

Engine now removed, i took off sump and found number three shell gone, but what i cant undrstand is that it looks like the crank has been scoring up against the inercasing, not sure of the condition of the crank itself, so i think the plan will be to just by a second hand low milage sti engine.

hi ive been told a number of different possables, from cams to shells, and now tentioners, only one way to find out is to lift it out i guess.

when i brought my scoobe it already had a full de-cat and a vf22, i changed the vf for a td05 and fitted a front mount and powerflow induction kit, was saving up for a remap in the new year when this happend. the garage came recomended to me, he had it 9 months and got the recon engine from a company in south yorkshire. a friend came around to day and reacons it sounds like offside cams, do you now if these are hydrolic or self adjusting, can they be replaced with out lifting out the engine. dave

bottom end went on old one mate, this will be third engine in 6 years, are all scoobes so easy to blow or is it just mine?

As far as i now they used recon heads as the garage told me it had new crank, pistons and rings, i was wondering if the uk oil pump was caperble of withstanding the extra bhp, the engine only been in eights months and i only finished running it in back in october. cant take it back because i only got three month warrenty on it, but if ican put the fault down to there mistake i would taking it straight back mate

Hi all and merry xmas to you earlier in the year i had a recon engine fitted to my scoobe, and on my way home from work it started knocking really bad. When i put it in the garage i told them that it was a 1997 wrx import and runs 280 bhp standerd, but they put in a uk engine telling me they are all the same, but i found out that the uk version run 225 bhp, does anyone now if this is why its knocking because the uk engine is not strong enough, all help and advice will be very helpfull. cheers dave

hi all, can anyone tell me the differnce with injectors, as far as i can see i have standerd black ones in my 1997 wrx which ive been told peek out at 300bhp, ive been looking at 440 yellow ones, and what does phase 2 mean. are the yellow ones better than my standerd black ones. any advice would be very helpfull. dave

that sounds good to me mate ,cheers i give them a call.

ouch, i think i will look into doing it myself, with christmas just around the corner. thanks anyway.

hi again all, i think my clutch is close to giving up, but was wondering if these are a easy d.i.y job, as anyone ever done one thereself?

Hello and welcome to you both

HI all as anyone heard of or used mines ecu, ive fitted a front mount , induction kit and td05, and was wondering if these ecu are as got as mapping, theyare surposed to program them self to your ungrades after 15 minuits if driving, i have a 97 wrx ?

hi mate, i looked into doing the same with an 04 plate gx, by the time you found a lump / box and drive ect, it was cheaper just to go out and buy a wrx or sti, there cheap as chips on pistonheads and other sites.

hi mate been trying to call you, she sounds lovley, and the dump valve is awesome, thanks for your help.

it could only happen to me, im in the prosses of running my scoobe in and decided to fit a front mount, and while i was under the bonnet stuck in a new turbo, then a new induction pipe, so far so good. thats when my luck ran out, i somehow crossed pipe work and ended up pouring about 4 litres of coolent straight in to my sump, car coughed and splutterd and died, gave it a flush through will oil and engine flush, then another oil change, got her running and used it today, so far so good. fingers crossed

hi mate i tryed lateralperformance and turbodynamics, no good, can get one for subaru at larkfields but is gonnatake 2 weeks, dont realy want to wait that long, i keep looking and hunting , hopfully somthing will turn up soon.

hi all, ive just brought a new td05 for my classic, the problem is its got a piece missing, its the small metal pipe that sits under the turbo and fit to a rubber hose, i dont now what its part names is , so haveing a difficult time emailing companys trying to describe what i want. does anyone now what im talking about and were i can sorce one, need me scoobe up and running so i can finish running her in. (500 miles to go)

stick an sti engine in it mate, 280 bhp is till a lot of fun.

hi mate, ive put on the left side but it seems to meet with the front bumper panel, also the intercooler does not meet up with any holes, ive already grinded of the number plate bracket, i had a front end crash a few years back and was wondering if the bumper panel was just a after market one, dont now if ive got any cutting and drilling to do to mke it fit.

can anyone help me, i brought an ab88 front mount intercooler of ebay but it came without fitting instructions, has anyone got instruction manual the could lend me, as im half way through putting it to gether and now im lost, cheers

hi all, ive brought a frontmount for my scoobe, but read in a artical in a jap mag saying they cause lag, ive a classic wrx import with full decat and induction kit. i dont think frontmounts increase bhp but helps them run better under hot and hard driving, but dont want to give it to much lag, also im pondering with the idea of loosing the dump valve and bolting on a wastegate. help and advice would be very helpfull.

hi i have recently brought a fmic from autobahn, ive not got arount to fitting yet. but everything was there and the quality looks fine.
