I bought this from a friend of a friend locally. He spun a bearing in his 2004 STI (pretty sure it was 04). I don't know much about internals so I'm not sure how bad the damage is. He didn't even bother getting it inspected, just dropped another engine in. He seemed to think, new bearings and a set of pistons and rods and I'd be good to go. It's been sitting in my garage wrapped in plastic inside of a giant rubbermaid container. I bought new ACL race bearings for it and found a set of slightly used (I think like 5K miles) rods and was waiting until I could afford forged pistons and I was planning to bolt my EJ20G heads to it but now I need money. Oh well.

The guy lost some of the rods and pistons so I never planned to use those, I can toss them or make them into something cool. I also managed to find a brand new EJ257 crank a buddy of mine had and got it off him for $150. But he didn't keep it in a dry place even though it was in a plastic bag so it has surface rust. I don't know if this is fixable or not, you be the judge. The local machine shop told me it shouldn't be a problem and they could get it off though.

$100 crank SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD

I tried to take good pictures but camera phones aren't the best so let me know if you have any other questions.

I'm not sure how much this stuff is all worth so if I'm out of line, kindly let me know what you think the value of these items are. Thanks



This is the new crank.









One bearing is missing. I'm assuming that's the spun bearing?



















Here's the spun bearing crank.













Here's the (I was told by a fellow member of the legacycentral forum who is a subaru tech up in renton I think or puyallup) newly new rod set.



















ACL Main Bearings

i'll do 90 on the new crank, total shipped to 01832?

$130 shipped?

+ the boot, say 140 shipped for all? got state taxes back lol

Sure sounds good. Let me know via pm. You got my paypal address right? I have a member on nasioc interested in the crank so the sooner the better. Thanks.

payment sent

Awesome. Hopefully I can ship it tomorrow before work.

make sure its to the pm address, i hate driving 45 mins to pick up mu packages, unless fedex? ups hates me for some reason...

I have never shipped fedex. Don't know where one is. I use ups or more commonly usps because its close.

will it fit in a larger flat rate box?

I doubt it. Biggest flat rate is 12x12x6 I believe. I used one to ship all four springs off my metro last week but it was a real tight squeeze and I think the crank is more like 16".

Damn i want that shortblock....

Me too unfortunately.

$400 EJ257 halves

any new info on if that crannk is hard to repair or not? is it a phase 1 or 2? i could be interested for my build.

I have no clue. Sold the new one. Old one beats me. I don't know any reputable subaru machine shops. A regular machine shop should know I suppose.
