Custom Trendz Inc. Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Started off a few months ago with a cylinder 1 misfire. After swapping coil packs around, injectors, and plugs I ended up doing a compression test and leak down test. Cyl 4...140psi 2% leakdown Cyl 3...136psi 3% leakdown Cyl 2...137psi 2% leakdown Cyl 1...60psi 50% leakdown Ended up being a burnt exhaust valve on cylinder 1. So after I had a buddy tear it down at his shop I sent them out to Eastwoods Machine shop in Somers, CT. So then I started putting together a parts list for this basic rebuild of just getting heads refinished and reworked. Free Range Ancillary hoses Head Rebuild OEM Gasket kit 1015AA720 Gates Timing Belt Kit TCK328 OEM Waterpump 21111AA240(cast impeller.) Oem Half Moons 11051AA070 OEM Oil Control Valves 10921AA020 OEM Spark Plugs NGK SILFR6A 22401AA670 OEM Oil Cooler Pipe 21328AA011 OEM Long Life Coolant SOA868V9210 OEM Coolant Conditioner SOA635071(Discontinued, and have yet to actualy buy some.) OEM Thermostat 21210AA030 OEM Oil Filter 15208AA12A Then I went onto nasioc, and happened to have found a brand new ej257 block for a great price and decided...why not? So then my parts list grew OEM EJ257 10103AC050 OEM STI Oil Pan 11109AA151 OEM Legacy Oil Pump 15010AA300 Moroso Oil Pump Pickup 24965 ARP Head Studs 260-4701 Grimmspeed Exhaust Gaskets DW 1000CC Sidefeed Injectors DW 300C Fuel pump Reason I went for the dw injectors and pump was because I am either planning on going over to E85 if it becomes more readily available, and going to a bigger turbo once funds allow. Car is going to have that, and it already has: Perrin turbo inlet AVO throttle body hose BNR 16G (my stock injectors were running 105% IDC uptop) Bulletproof OEM TMIC CNT Catless DP 3" Catless axleback STI Catless Up Pipe Infamous Oil Lines NO BANJOS After talking to Byron on the forums I decided to go with Mike for tuning from Tuning Alliance. I will be getting a street tune after I get ~500 miles on the break-in tune from him. Grand Total: ~$5,700 Thats including tune, getting heads done at eastwoods($550,) and paying a buddy who owns a shop to pull the engine out and take it apart, and torque and reinstall heads and do timing and put the engine back in.(~800) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea what it will go for? With oil pump, pickup, pan, oil pump, water pump, and old timing pulleys and tensioner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dzehner2 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Did you end up selling your shortblock? Wondering what that goes for since as you know I'm in a similar situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Trendz Inc. Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 not yet might bring it to engine shop and have them build it and blueprint it to sell or put into mine later down the road. Or since i have so many parts left over i might buy a LGT or wrx thats blown up and rebuild it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
