In Australia, a Subaru engine rebuild typically lands around AUD $4,000–$7,000 for a naturally aspirated four, and AUD $7,000–$12,000+ for turbo EJ/FA/FB mills, depending on machining and parts.
That usually covers machining, gaskets, timing kit, bearings, and labour; forged internals, new heads or a turbo can nudge it well past AUD $15k if you’re feeling brave.
If you’re pricing “new” versus “used”: a new OEM short block/long block route can total roughly $6,500–$12,000 fitted, while a used import or wrecker engine swap might be $3,500–$7,000 installed—cheaper, but more of a lucky dip.
Expect extras like fluids, mounts, clutches or radiators to add $500–$2,000; get a written quote and warranty, then proceed like a sensible adult who enjoys torque and solvency.
