My o6 Sti engine blew on me, that i know of from mechanic! but could be a spun bearing that went out? Have not open the engine yet but planning to soon within a week, just to prep the engine for rebuild if possible? Stock 06 sti motor mounts are bull**** break hella easy ESPECIALY THE PITCH STOP UPGRADE TO A BEATRUSH OR INGS, I GOT THE BEATRUSH FORGED PITCH STOP FOR ABOUT $93 DOLLARS. Back to engine, planning to get, GS650LR - 2.5 Short Block from
gruppe-s mid april, with also cobb ap2, helix rr500 turbo, injectors, fuel pump and tune! hoping that this project will be done by late april!

 

Sounds like a plan.
My sti short block that I picked up had shredded bearings, no cylinder damage but gouged the poo out of the crank. I found a local shop that will resurface the crank for $125, if they have to weld in some metal it will run $20 a main or rod journal.
Its not that expensive to have the work done. I am personally going TWE on most of my stuff. I love there short blocks but since I’m doing a hybrid it doesn’t make any since.
Good luck, and keep us posted.
PS, what clutch are you running!! If your snapping motor mounts that easy, that’s some hard engagement.

 

the engine was completely completely stock, no upgrades at all and you blew it?

yea it was not stock. I have a megan cat back exhaust" cheap planning to upgrade" helix catless downpipe, greddy rs bypass valve, helix up-pipe

 

yea it was hella fast never experience the problem so quick bug-eye never had this problem

 

here some pic's from when i first took it to the track 5 run i broke tranny mounts(replaced already)

 

the second time to the track motor mount went out. in pic with hatch had to slow down because motor was movin hella violent

 

pic of sti vs hatch forgot to include

 

hmmm, what makes you think you blew the engine? possible it could be something else?

also, what kinda time did you run?

 

umm. engine will not start anymore ! mechanic told me that the piston seized and something about spun bearing is went out subaru mechanic told me but removed all aftermarket parts before bring in to dealer. also they void my bumper to bumper warranty.

 

when i started notice the problem when i i wsa driving on the freeway, when i felt like there was no power so i down shifted in 5th gear and the went back to 6th and the car went into a complete stall! car would not start anymore

 

bump

 

I'm confused...
If you have an exhaust upgrade, how is that stock?


How hard were you driving to where you "broke tranny mounts"? How many miles does you car have on it?

 

my bad for the confusion it was not stock at time of engine failure, first time i took it to the track it was stock, i tranny mount problem @10K,no parts, pitch stop and motor mount broke @ 23k,no parts, engine failure at @ 29k with dp, up pipe, exhaust, recirculating bypass valve
