SpooksRex Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 http://worcester.craigslist.org/ctd/3674500632.html "2005 Subaru Outback 5 speed with 121,500 miles. Turbo went needs a new engine. Other than the engine the car is in good shape and has been a dependible car." I just put a deposit down on this today & I'm already prepping for the engine rebuild. I can do a lot of things myself, but that's mainly suspension & basic engine work. So this leaves me paying for some of the labor for things that are above my skill-level. Should I get a new EJ255 short-block for $1650 or EJ257 for $1850? If I were to go with the EJ257 bock, can I just drop it in or is there other things I have to do then just plug & play? What would be a rough idea for a cost estimate? I'm just planning on going to STG2 with a VF52 & that's it. I'm not looking for crazy power, just a VF52 @ 15psi. Any insight would be great. I already have a beater car, so this rebuild will be over a descent period of time, but I'm hoping to finish is in 2-3 months. -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
