Get it built at a workshop but supply all the internals you wish to have ? At least you get a warrenty aswell ! Watch the videos on YouTube and then tell me if you can still do it yourself

Not a problem champ, I'll be sure to tell her that you will do the job of three men.



























Larry, Moe and Curly.

Get a real car and be done with it

Have you tryed getting any of the subaru tech manuals on CD from like EBAY?

I have a few.. I think there was "engine bible" pdf.. I could upload some if interested... I haven't read everthing on the discs...

I'm all for getting experience and improving ones mechanical knowledge, but... As a few people have said, attempting to put together a high hp, somewhat expensive build with no experience, does reek of failure. If you're completely set on it, then go for it, however if it was me, I'd pick myself up an older car, pre-injection days, and strip and build to your hearts content. It's how I started, building L series Datsun motors, and it was an inexpensive and rewarding hobby.

If you got the $$$ and the time who gives a flying ****. Have fun I could never do it as my patience would wear thin fast. A diy thread would be interesting regardless of the outcome.

As Dan mentioned, why not rebuild something a little less expensive, like an EJ with a spun bearing or something similar?

You'll spend less than a grand in gaskets and bearings, a little machining on top of that, and then swap it yourself into your car. If it works, you've then got yourself a fresh engine! If it doesn't, then you've not lost too much.

The problem with building an engine yourself is, if it fails, you could potentially wipe out engine parts with it.. And if you fork out for the best parts money can buy you'll have some expensive paperweights! Just as an example, I'm assuming you'll have a billet crank, and this could be damaged in a matter of seconds if you don't install and clearance the bearings correctly.

Goddam, you guys crack me up.
Will be looking forward to the build thread, no matter the result. Good luck:-D.
