Big end bearing
 

hey everyone.

well its sad to say but i have finally killed my engine the other day. i did (well about to) do a big end bearing as i can hear it starting to rattle.

i am getting a ej207 fitted on tuesday but i was wondering is there anything else that i should look at when it goes in?

i got a ARP head stud kit, sti metal head gaskets, sti oil pump. and getting the head ported and polished plus all the belts and hoses etc going on at the same time, but is there anything else?

i am keeping the VF34 for now. so i was looking at injectors and a new fuel pump. i gather 650cc will be surfice for the mount of power i would like to run.

Thanks for the help

tim

nice bro, how much did the engine cost? and whos fitting it

how much power you looking at making?

engine and everything will cost round about $6500. give or take a few dollars. MMS are fitting the engine. and i am looking at running my VF34 at 1.5bar. steve was saying @1.2 that i am doing now the injectors are getting to there limits.

Are you currently running a TMIC or FMIC ?

550's are fine with that setup and boost!

front mount steve.

ah k 550cc cool. they are they the pink 550c from an STI?

Do you know when your water pump was last done, if at all?
might aswell change that while shes out.
and any clutch or flywheel work too.

oops, re read post and question answered.

hey rexxlent did this give out at Langford BP where i saw you? maybe i should have stuck around lol

haha nah sorry mate b4 that.

Have a look at your options dude, take your time, might have a look at maybe moving to an 02+ sti manafold too, which will sold the injector problem easy enough, also maybe avac heads? All depends how much u wanna spend, but ej207 is an awsome start, next thing is boost 2bar+ :P

Guys how long will a VF 34 run at 1.5 bar for? Who has run them at this boost and for how many km's? (ps think before you type, first hand info from users is appreciated, if it's info about a mate put it in the Wanted: "Fame by Association" forum)

What's the price of the short motor on it's own?, they have dropped LOTS lately.
