In this case study we're going to walk you through how we did an engine replacement for a Subaru WRX 2L turbo. You'll find photos and videos below and some more on our Facebook page.
Watch the video below to see and hear what the engine was like before we started. It has a problem with the big end bearings, which are in the bottom of the engine
We were very busy in the workshop on day two and didn't get as much done as we would've liked. Here's a quick video showing you the difference between a working turbo (it spins) and one that doesn't work (it doesn't spin).
The engine is put back in the car and everything is reconnected again.
Day 3 brought us to the end of the engine replacement. Have a listen to the engine in this video and compare it to the one above, you'll notice the difference.
We want to say a big thankyou to Daniel (the owner of the car) for letting us share these photos and videos with you.
