Sean is no longer at AHG ? Some one said this was his last day today he is now running a ARB store in wannaroo ?

Talk to Neil H at the engine shop. Justin to tune it

Who'll provide customer service and quality at ASG if Sean isn't there?

+1 for Neil at the engine shop.

Good to know I'm not the only one who has had trouble with RSS.

Thanks guys,

Yeah it does make sense to get them locally, I just didn't find any during my research.

Will definitely check out The Engine Shop

Thanks again for your inputs :)

Any suggestions on the specs I needed to look at to achieve what I wanted to achieve?

I had issues too. Sub-par machining but in their defence they did offer to pay the remachining and the rest was good service.

I bought my block and parts from Diversion Garage who are a direct competitor to RSS. DG machining is far better than RSS.

Hi Guys,

hope everyone is well :)

rather than creating a new thread, I though I'd just resurrect this one coz it's not that old and it's pretty much the same topic.

So I'm ready for the next step which is engine build as mention on the introduction of the thread, I've got the funds ready etc.

At first I was thinking of doing in the next few months towards the end of the year kinda thing but I've come across someone who wants to sell a full complete assembled engine ready to go.

I know him from the person who I bought my turbo from and I will be meeting him on Saturday to have a look at the engine and discuss things but thought before that wouldn't hurt to ask for a second opinions :)

So the specs as he mention are:

Complete EJ207 not yet run brand new short motor, Full reconditioned V6 STI heads, full sets of OE gaskets inc STI Multi-Layered Head Gaskets, inc new OE 11mm Oil Pump, New OE Water Pump, New Complete OE Timing Belt Kit inc all tensioners, ARP Head Stud

Asking price is $5500 and he said he has a guy that does all his engine works, very knowledgeable about Subaru and is happy to do the installation for $1100.

He said it's all ready to go and will bolt into everything I have done so far.

What I'm wanting to know or concern about is:

1. ASG did my Tune but Sean is no longer there so I can't get a retune after the new engine is dropped in, ASG and most people recommended Lane from Race Torque but I called Race Torque and spoke to Ashley and he said Lane doesn't tune Link G4, only Autronics and Motecs - I just need to be sure the money I'm about to spend can be tuned by a good tuner.... as everyone says the car only runs as good as a tuning that's done by the tuner.

2. Do you think the engine is a good price? what are my options if I go for something else? I know a lot of you mention to get the engine build here instead of going eastern states and a lot of you recommended The Engine Shop, I tried calling 2 times and no one seems to pick up every time.

3. The other concern is warranty and tax invoice, I need proof that all this work has been done should I ever sell the car in the future.


Any thoughts guys?

Thanks again for your help :)

Justin at Bye performance can tune Link with his eyes shut and I would say is the man to go to for that. there are others that can do it...Garage 101 for one......
But my go too person would be Justin
