Any one out there who no.s where I can get a 2002 wrx engine turbo or any one who can rebuild one

Hi,

We can rebuild one for you if that's what you need. What has happened to yours?

Yep would recommend Tlag has more years then anyone else I know with Subaru engines under his belt :D

Hi mate was driveing on m4 sat engine light came on then heater went rite up then banging noise from engine garage reckons cam shaft as gone but it ticks over fine and running on all 4

That's an odd one.

When you say it runs fine and on all 4, are there any odd/bad noises at all, even if its revved a bit.

Any smoke from exhaust?

I would say its fairly rare for a camshaft to snap and if that's the case, the timing would be out quite badly out. I'm not saying the garage are wrong but it seems fairly unlikely.

Any chance you can check for the codes from the check engine light?

There's no smoke from the car I haven't lost no oil or water it fires up and then you get a continuos banging noise from the engine

Sounds like big's ends gone to me that. Does the noise sound like this ?

And if possible can you get a video of the noise done and linked here ?

As Gambit says, that sounds very much like big end bearings.

As for options, you could:

1, buy a secondhand engine, have it fitted and be in the same position a few weeks down the road if you have no history of the engine, or

2, have your current engine fully rebuilt and know you have a good, as new engine.

You could also use this opportunity to upgrade certain parts, be it for performance or just for longevity.

Thanks very much mate it is the big end bearing gone so iam haveing it re built any advise on what parts to upgrade and I keep you posted this is my first scooby and it been the best car by far

My recommendations would be;

Obviously the main and big end bearings. If you intend doing a lot of track work, go for competition stuff. If not, something like ACL Duraglide will suffice.

As the pistons will be out anyway, take the opportunity to change the piston rings. You would hate to complete it and find the rings need doing a few weeks.

If the history of your car is unknown from a service point of view, change the cambelt and tensioner kit.

Now is a good time to change the water pump too.

That's the general service stuff done, other than the normal plugs, filters, etc.

If you want to upgrade anything, change the oil pump. No need to go mad with a 12mm one unless you are hitting the circuits hard.

Just go for a standard size, with updated flow.

If you are using a Subaru specialist to do the work, I'm sure they will check but just in case you are using a normal garage, get them to look very carefully at the crankshaft. If the bearings have worn too far, the crank will need replacing. Just my opinion, but I personally would never have a crankshaft re ground, a replacement is far better and gives peace of mind.

Good luck

Mines recently had the same problem, hows things going ? and how much did it cost to put right?
