price of engine to start build ????

adam knight · 05 February 2012, 18:07

what sort of price should i be expecting to pay. my brother is looking for a new age 2.0 sti engine to start his build going for 2.1 stroker so what hes looking for is an engine with the bottom end gone as its going to be stripped apart. any ideas on what to expect to pay

Why not buy a closed deck block from a classic circa £500, a 2.1 closed deck block will be capable of serious power. Mark at TDR should be able to source one for you

i went and spoke to mark sat, the idea was for him to go with new age engine for some reason i cant remember trying to source one for him but nt sure what kind of price id expect to pay

Decent newage STI motors are making circa £1500 so a fooked one wants to be at least half that.
There is crack smoker trying to sell a buggered one in the for sale section at the moment for £1500, might be worth a PM explaining what's its worth.

newage STi's are semi closed deck block and are quite a bit cheaper then the closed deck........but will be up to the job unless going for silly power

i would sell the closed deck one out of my version 2 sti ra that is in the cars for sale section for £500 and you can hear it running before i remove it for you.

Just what I was about to ask. Sorry to thread hijack, I'm just interested in swapping out my newage wrx motor for a project sti one complete with gearbox of course. Would £2500 be about right? It would be a track car only.

adam knight · 05 February 2012, 19:20

power wise think hes going for around 400 mark for the time being it will be built to take more obviously greabox is prone so idea is build engine to 400 save some cash wait for box to go 6 speed it the more power, looking for a new age mate

Midlife...... · 05 February 2012, 19:21

Kedleston........is that for the engine and 6 speed gearbox conversion?

Shaun

Kedlestone · 05 February 2012, 19:28

Yes mate, I'll use my wrx shell.

MattyB1983 · 05 February 2012, 19:46

6 speeder on its own is circa 2K.

Midlife...... · 05 February 2012, 19:54

That's a bargain then if all OK

Hi there

If you are looking for 400bhp i would go with new age JDM bottom end and you will be all right with this sort of power,here is one for £800 on 22b

Kedlestone 6 speed is from £1400 and STi short engine is around £800 and this without the labour and at the end you will need more than this...

thanks mate spot on

Kedlestone · 05 February 2012, 21:11

Thanks jura, it's going to be very much a work in progress but want to get figures together so at least I have an idea. Aiming towards it being a hill climb/track day car hopefully.

Hi there best will be contact few garages and ask about labour

And if you are looking for track day and hill climb,my suggestion will be classic,with new age you are around 200kg(maybe more) heavier.

Good luck with your project
