Spun rod bearing on dyno going IAG stage 2 shortblock
2014 Wrx hatch
Spun rod bearing on dyno on stock block (I knew it was going to happen eventually) and I've added a few reliability mods to my list so it doesn't happen again. Anything else I should ask the shop to do while they have the car and engine out? New block is being dropped in Monday so I have a little time to do last minute stuff. End goal 350-400whp with similar torque reliably and I know I'll have to be looking at tranny next.

Looks like a pretty nice and comprehensive mod list, if you have it readily available near you I’d consider throwing in an ethanol sensor for flex fuel. Would definitely help you hit those power goals with less stress on the engine IMO. Please post up your dyno results in the end!

I'd say you should get an AOS on the car. I'd also ask what oil pump is on the car, whether it has been deburred, etc.
Seems like there was some sort of oiling issue, to begin with, for it to spin a bearing. Just to be comprehensive ... what was replaced AFTER the spun bearing block? Oil cooler, turbo disassembled and cleaned, etc? If it were me, I'd want to be 100% confident that every nook and cranny of the heads, etc. were clean as a button. |

Good list. Glad we can be apart of it!
Assuming you'll be replacing most tired OEM parts like oil pump, water pump, etc...? |

TGV and air pump delete are the big ones to do while the engine is out. Consider the Getadomtune cylinder 4 cooling kit; cheap insurance at this point in your build.

I believe so, I know I'm replacing the oil pump, just have to call them and inquire about seeing if they were replacing the water pump as well! I believe they ordered me a an upgraded oil pan from you guys as well!

Fellow New Englander. Where did you get your car tuned? VEMS is quite reputable up here in VT. Also that mod list is pretty good for a daily. Good balance of response and power with an FP Blue.

Some might say that if you change your oil and check it frequently, you can avoid it, up to a certain point. |

I’m looking to pick one up but a bit wary now hearing these stories. I guess good care is what makes the difference so important to thoroughly check the car’s history. Anyway sorry for derailing. Looking forward to the results! |

Not 100% if I describe what they said correctly from memory but I think thats what they said. Yeah I'm excited about the results but now I have to prepare for tranny repairs just in case. I am fairly easy on the car so it should be okay for a while hopefully. |

Ended up with 331whp/316wtq with peak power pulling all the way to redline so it feels great with no dropoff.
Went conservative with 20lbs of peak boost on the fp blue as my TMIC was starting to heatsoak and they said it started to pull some timing on last runs. Im planning to go back for a retune maybe middle of winter and see to go a bit more aggressive after doing some heat management mods as I want to keep my tmic. |
