Hey guys I'm in need of some advice! So this winter I'm taking on my first Subaru motor rebuild. I've done a few v8 rebuilds and some quad and dirt bike motors so I'm fairly confident with motor rebuilds. But I do have a few questions...
First...I don't have a TON of loot to spend on this build. So what are the best up grades making the most HP and reliability for the best price? I found a website that I can pick up a complete rebuild kit...gaskets, pistons, timing belt, water pump and oil pump...there's other stuff can't think of em off the top of my head but I can get it for 400 bucks. I can also get over sized pistons for no extra charge. I also heard somewhere I can put 2.5 heads on my block and it will increase compression ratio. Long story short I'm thinking of getting .40 over pistons and 2.5 heads. Any guesses on What my compression ratio will be? HP range?
Next question is in my car there is a 2.2 already. Will I have to do anything special when putting the New motor in? Or will it all just plug Right back in and be good to go? The 2.2 I'm building is I think out of a 93 legacy. I have a 95.
Any info would be great guys! Thanks in advance!
