Default Another 08 bites the dust

I am in need of an engine rebuild for my 08 sti. I lost Cyl 2&4 leak down is 80% on them. I am looking for a local shop that can do a rebuild for me, any suggestions?

S&R has built a bunch of Suby's lately that have been awesome. I think they've got a few '08's there right now.

That would be my suggestion

Default 08 motors

Taylor at S&R built my 08 motor after a ringland cracked because the GT35R produced too much power for the stock pistons. Their prices are reasonable and Taylor is a perfectionist engine builder. I run my motor on meth on the street all the time and have had absolutely no issues. Scott Seigel did the tuning (another perfectionist). I highly recommend S&R. PM me if you want more info.

check out real street performance over in orlando. Great shop 30+ subaru builds in the past couple years.

I built mine for around $3500 with 100mm cp pistons, manley rods, acl race bearings, arp headstuds, etc. Price includes removal and install of longblock.

chk out Real Street Performance Engine Parts, Pistons Rods Cams Valvetrain and More.

Good luck.

I have 23000 miles on my built motor running a sz49.
