Hey guys.....

More bad news....

Driving along at 60km/hr today and TING TING TING my missus rex shit itself, looks like it might have thrown a bearing or piston something bad, it was already rebuilt with forgies and sti rods but mustnt have liked something bout the rebuild (note we didnt do it the car was like it when we bought it). But im weighing up whether to rebuild (will know damage once the engine has been stripped) or to buy another stock engine. Its a 99 wrx so if you know anyone that has a healthy engine for sale or business etc please help me out here.

Oh Dan that sucks ass! Best of luck to ya in finding a new engine, can't believe that a rebuilt motor would just go like that, if you are going to the trouble of rebuilding a motor atleast do it properly, was it a fairly recent rebuild?

There's a couple on ebay from Roguepi who is reputable.

Stumbled upon them. Not sure how well priced it is. :)

    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.  
    • Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.  
    • And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?
    • The answer is to get a hold of the wiring diagram, work out what voltage is supposed to be where, when, and then work out why it is not there, then. I can't speak to the HR34 stuff, because I have never paid any attention to the NAs. There is a possibility that the turbo diagram will help, but it could also be different - depending on whether there is an FPCM on the NAs.
