speedfreek Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hello to all. I wish i was here for better reasons today but I think I cooked a piston on my 06 Legacy. Does anyone know what years and models of Subys i can pull an engine from? An STI swap would be fun but my time and cash are limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob-2 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 You have some tough choices ahead of you. Do you drop $4-5k on a new motor or get rid of the car? Weigh it. The car is probably worth twice a motor rebuild. If you love the car do it. If you cannot afford to buy a new car, fix it. If you have any doubts or will want something newer in the next 1-2 years, sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fweasel Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Let me guessing car was on the stock tune ? The car was protuned by P&L in 07 and has run like a champ with no oil consumption since I sold it in September. Sorry to hear about the engine trouble. the recent snow fall here has me missing AWD. ignore him, he'll go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 ^ Interesting... Wonder if it's due to a failed injector or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear about the engine trouble. the recent snow fall here has me missing AWD. Oh, time to look else where. Thought this might be another easy one...bad injector would be the next guess. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

speedfreek Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 Not sure what the issue is. It is at a shop. Not sure if the engine is bad. Checking coils, injectors and compression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedfreek Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 As I turned out I crushed the ring seats on #4 piston due to extreme cold we think. Getting new pistons and some goodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTborn01 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Cracked ringland is pretty common in our cars. At least you are getting more power out of the situation. On a brighter note, I see you are from Fenton, MO which is where i use to live before moving to Oregon. Have a few friends that still live there.
