I should just convert to single, right?As soon as she hands it to you, slowly take of your pants, then, while staring her straight in the eyes rub it against the tip of you penis, while continuing your painfully intense gaze whisper to her;

looks like the b4 has given up the ghost and the big end bearing has failed.
need to decide which path to take
ie, rebuild , 2lt or 2.5 short block, long block, single turbo etc etc.
just wanting to hear from b4 owners who've been there done that . which way they went, are they happy , what would they do differently
and what sort of cash they spent.
my mechanic said ideally go for an 02 sti long block and convert to single turbo which is also maybe the most expensive.
need to weigh up here which way i want to go.
new bottom end and stay with twins then risk it happening again in 5 years
or a long block which would mean going single....hhmm any takers
New bearings, linish the crank. re-assemble. Go to a single turbo setup. win.

Billsy.. you are the god of Subaru's..
Can you port the ECV on my euro? for the VOD that I get from 800rpm to 7200rpm?
I'll push your car into a VOD for say, $100?
Ugh i could ramble on for forking days about this stuff.

best budget fix would be an ej207 shortmotor swap.
but for basically the same cost get an Ej257. stock one will do fine
then spend a little more and port the turbos and ecv (send them my way), add ecutek tune and have a ballsy 200kw tt with NO VOD and boost from idle.
ive done all that for a guy in adelaide, it made 203kw on 12 or 13psi and was farken nice to drive.
Ej257 shortmotor? Sounds awesome. Know what it cost him all up? Cheers

In this country, you gotta make the money first.
Then when you get the money, you get the power.
