Out of curiosity, what does the average hybrid cost. STi 2.5 with WRX heads? Might have a line on one built by Slowboy Racing but not sure what to look at paying.

You can get an sti sb for around 1600-1800, plus 80 for water pump, 80 for oil pump, like 30 in gaskets and seals, cams would be a good upgrade but not necessary.

I did mine for less than 2k. Including gaskets, block, pumps, etc. :) You just have to know where to look. Gasket overhaul kit is almost 300 itself.

me too :D

Your right on. 2K and your doing it the right way.:D

So are you saying you don't need the entire gasket kit?

$1495 for the 2.5L shortblock, $214 for a gasket kit, and prices 20-50% less than most dealerships. you can get a 2.5L motor built with WRX heads for well under $2k.

they're who i ordered all my OEM parts from :)


PM me if you want their contact information. deal with Jeremy or Tristan in parts.

Great ideas, but I may have a complete assy. Manifold, heads, block, ect. also with engine wiring harness and TDO5E small 16G turbo. Not sure what to offer the guy for it. Any thoughts? 0 run time and assembled at Slowboy.

i did mine for just over 2k with timing belt and gaskets.

don't forget tranny mods. they'll be needed eventually

speak with Tristan or Jeremy in parts. if you ask, they WILL do an STi shortblock for $1495+shipping (~$50), and a complete gasket kit is $213.72

assuming you're going to use untouched heads, all you'll really need to add is a new timing belt ($103.47) and UP gaskets. ($9.58/ea)

1495+50+213.72+103.47+9.58+9.58=$1881.35, and figure maybe ~ $10 for additional shipping.

you're @ just under $1900 for everything you'd need to swap over



edit. im dumb. i forgot oil and water pumps. add ~ $150 for the pair.

my mistake. ~ $2050 shipped and you'd have a 2.5L hybrid...with EVERYTHING.

i never mentioned labor to build it.

psh. cmon, anyone with a service manual, a little know-how, and a decent selection of tools can assemble a motor with a bit of patience. it's not quite brain surgery.
