yeah the car doesnt have the unichip in there anymore, i believe the ecu was replaced with a newer vishnu one some time back. i will try to give those shops a call and keep the thread updated as new information comes in. for the price of one of those shortblocks im wondering if its not just worth it to go ahead and get a whole new EJ25 longblock, and then throw all those mods back on to the new engine. after checking prices i should be able to make a better decision on that one.
krinkov-- thanks for the kind words and all the advice i will definitely keep that stuff in mind going forward here.
i dont know how reliable the vishnu stuff was and whether or not it was the cause of the engines failure-- after all it did have 140k miles on it, so i guess this was something that i could have seen coming, it was just a surprise because of how seamlessly it had been running prior to failing.

I'd recommend Speed Element in Fremont as well if you are going to shop around for a new engine setup. They built my jdm hybrid engine for a very reasonable labor rate, and they were great at dealing with random insidious problems that came up with a customo build. Speed Element also helped me source all the engine "add-ons" like motor mounts, oem replacement parts, etc.

I'll probably get a lot of flaming for this, but for a budget swap, in the east bay, you should talk to Gruppe-S in Hayward. I know my GF blew the motor on her legacy and they really hooked us up with a good deal on an installed long-block.
Give them a call...

Just an FYI:
All of our shortblocks are inspected, measured, and assembled by a Subaru Senior Master Technician with +12 yrs experience.
All machining work...boring/honing, surfacing, vallve train, etc...is performed by a machine shop with +25yrs experience.
I then assemble each component into longblock configuration in house.
We can built anything from stock to "not so stock".

Yeah Paul also does excellent work and can handle anything.
On the bright side, at least your car blew up in the right part of the country
