That is the thing, it is just a Boxer motor...like any Porsche or Subaru out there.

The Subaru XT6, SVX, Legacy, Outback and Tribeca all use the same engine design and I promise you dont cost $12k in labor to do a swap of connecting rods.

It doesnt have to be a huge build, I am talking connecting rods and head studs.

... 15k euro = 20500 USD. Plus labor of 100 hours = 10K. 30k USD build.... Unless you included labor in there, in which case still its a 20k build, which is what many of us have been quoted for a basic build. So, you're right in line with everyone else.

I wouldn't say that at all really. He's getting pistons, sleeves, headwork and porting. He didn't mention connecting rods in his list so that is probably more cost...

At any rate, the 'basic' builds we're talking about are putting rods in, new headstuds, and maybe swapping the oil pump.

Labor 100 hours? Are you kidding me? ))

That's basically been the discussion in this thread, a few of us discussing the (outrageous in my opinion) labor that is being charged over here.

Not surprising when an indie shop wants $1300 to change out the injectors, gotta love Porsche Tax.

I've never gotten a quote but I believe the pricing is similar. I'm not sure if there as many options for them though.
