blew my motor
Well I started my car the other night and it was going crazy. It was idling crazy and ticking and there was smoke coming from my engine and oil coming from the engine bay and out my exhaust. I didn't notice the oil coming from the turbo until later and I think oil from my turbo went into the intake and seized my motor because it won't crank now. Hopefully blouch does something about the turbo, because it is only like 3 months old.

damn, i've been in your shoes and it sucks!
my advice is either find another low miles full engine and drop it in or have yours built.
if you buy another engine used they are anywhere from $4-5k and then once you've swapped em you can sell all the parts off of yours and have an extra block to play with or sell that too.

because depending on if your doing the work yourself or having a shop do it.... it takes many less hours to pull one engine and stick another in than it does to pull the engine, then disassemble it completely, then reassemble it on the other shortblock, and reinstall.
..it all depends on if you want an extra complete engine that you can sell parts off of to recuperate some $$$$

Import Image Racing: P&L Motorsports Stage ONE short block
Well since my engine seized I think I need a new block. Anyone know anything of this block. Also, I'm thinking of dom 3 or 35r rotated. Anyone have suggestions on what I would need for to make my 35r sti last?

how many miles are on your block? it would be very easy for you to download a maint manual and swap blocks your self. Its very simple if you have the down time to deal with. Id recommend taking the block some were to get timming done.
