Hello,
I am almost done collecting the necessary parts to rebuild my engine for my 2012 WRX
5 door. In a nutshell I drove it into Pence with a knock between 2-3k RPMS with 27k miles on the odometer. Once the tore down was complete there was a hole in the block the size of the grapefruit (?). I was denied a warranty by SOA but alas that was last year and I can see light at the end of the tunnel.
This is what I have so far:
EJ257 Short block
-Wiseco 99.75mm pistons
-ACL race bearings (standard)
-Machining performed by C & T Machine in Orem UT. Block assembled by Underground Performance in Orem Utah.
-ARP head studs
-2007 STI (V25B) cylinder heads.
-Grimmspeed light weight crank pulley.
-OEM gasket kit.
-Killer B oil pan
-Killer B oil baffle
-Killer B oil pickup
-Orbit Oil Pump ( soon to be swapped out for an OEM)
- Gates timing and accessory belt kit.
- STI Group N engine mounts
- Exedy Organic stage 1 clutch kit.
-Grimmspeed battery tie down
-Grimmspeed master cylinder brace
- Invidia divorced catted down pipe coated in swaintech
-Invidia Q300 cat-back exhaust
-Cobb V2 Accessport
These are mods I have already done:
-Group N transmission mount
-Whiteline crossmember bushings
-Whiteline steering rack bushings
-Whiteline Front and rear 24mm sway bars
-Kartboy short throw shifter and bushings.
-Kartboy front and rear end-links
-Kartboy pitch-stop mount
-AEM A/F ratio wide-band gauge.
I have the stock turbo, intercooler, intake manifold, injectors, rails, etcetera.
I am thinking about purchasing:
-Tomei UEL Expreme Headers.
-Cobb SF intake with box
-Perrin turbo-inlet
I still need to buy an OEM oil cooler and a Coolant cross-pipe; the stock was destroyed by the rod.
My roommate has done extensive work on motors but never a boxer engine. We have all the tools necessary to do the work, including an engine hoist and stand. I have plenty of beer.
