I'm lookin for a machine shop on the island that knows what they are doing when it comes to Subaru engines/heads... I'm doing a hybrid build (2.5 w/2.0 heads) and I need my heads machined some to match the bore of the 2.5... I don't trust myself enough to try and attempt it with a Dremel, and I want it done right

 

Snyders...

 

Yea that's the only shop I've heard of here but I've never got any work done there or know anyone that has... (that I'm aware of at least)

 

Anyone have a good place to helicoil some brembo calilper threads?
I took out all 4 calipers, 2 out of the 4 the threads came out with the bolts...


Snyders for that too?

I actually have the correct helicoil kit for it already. Just a little weary of doing it myself. Don't have a drill press anymore to level it out on.

i have attached pics of their work from my motor... they are expensive, work can be up to $600-$1000 depending on what you need done

a friend used them once, good work as well...

 

Snyders did my 2.0 heads for my 2.5 motor. Great job but tell him not to stamp the heads with how much he shaved off.

 

Rick at Servco says they (Servco Subaru) use a guy in Kailua, probably this guy. Call Rick and he can give you the number.

 

How much did they charge to do the work Z?

Rick is in parts I'm assuming?

 

Yes, Rick is in parts at Servo.

Clarification on headwork done, Snyders did my 08 STi heads on my rebuild. I'll be sending my 2.0 heads shortly.

Charge was $510 for 3 angle valve job and valve adjustments and $120 for resurfacing the heads. I also did a pressure test for an extra $95. Total was $725. I provided new valve seals. See Marc at Snyders.

 

i lost the thread somewhere on iwsti or nasioc....of a company or machinist that had a cnc program already setup loaded and tested for the 2.5 w/ 2.0 head conversion....prices looked really cheap and the turnover rate would probably be quicker...just probably gotta send a core back to get that cheap price....

 

Alright I'll give Rick a call, as well as Marc at Snyders.. Thanx!

Yea I know the place you are talkin about but I'm not sure how long it takes and I was thinkin a place on the island would be a lot quicker...

So I've heard Snyders, Teds, and some place called Head Hunters... Any body have input or comparisons on the 3?

 

teds does good work but they take forever! ive never used head hunters, Snyders does all the machine work for most of my friends race cars. and Vakamon used use them for all their machine work if i remember correct

 

Snyder's is the place to go...D and I have used the guy in Kailua as well, but not for engine machining. I'd go to Snyder's

 

And FYI, Snyders did it in 2 days, 1 day earlier than promised!

I usually add a day when i'm told things would be done by most shops. Lol.

 

I also heard good things about Snyders can they build a whole long block. I been looking and it seem I would have to send it to the mainland to get it build.
