July 31, 20169 yr Up and running in - and looking good! Wondering if anyone else has embarked on a build yet, and what you have gone for? cheers Edited July 31, 20169 yr by stubbsey image 1 - original block. image 2 - closed block completed
July 31, 20169 yr Going for some more power then [emoji23] Looks like a good start what kind of build you going for ? Sparky was building one, started on the exterior with lots of tasty carbon, but was involved in a pretty large prang Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
July 31, 20169 yr Clinic have built a few, one 500+ and was the first new one to go over 500, still the same crappy 2.5's in em as well :( Although in a classic type R, ive got a closed deck 2.5 build in mine, been speced for about 550bhp :)
July 31, 20169 yr Author Yeh< painful Tokyo cheap engine!! have to spend so much money to build a decent strong engine to run reasonable Subaru power!!
August 1, 20169 yr Aye, closed deck it, forged pistons, uprated rods, decent headstuds and the 2.5 is a good engine. Side walls are still a bit weak to run really high power (towards 600) but for a road car 500 is plenty anyway lol
August 1, 20169 yr Author Sounds good! Strengthening done - Closed deck Mahle 4032 pistons New EJ257 heat treated crankshaft ACL race series main and big end bearings Williams H beam rods ARP head studs new 11mm oil pump Cosworth head gaskets high capacity EJ20 125 sump EJ20 oil pick up pipe RCM sump baffle plate up-rated Exedy clutch Hoping this will do the job!
August 2, 20169 yr Author Havnt decided yet. Only changed the pipes from front to back, AEM intake and remapped for now - need to be careful running in first! suggestions? cheers
August 5, 20169 yr Author Again, havnt made up my mind yet, but the engines built for a good 500 + I ran one some 10 years ago at 400 and that was fun. Been in HSVs since then and just returned to Subaru, so any suggestions welcome!
August 5, 20169 yr I had an sc46 on my forged 2.5 hawk and would be my personal choice, prob come in around 460-480 but mega punchy which would be better to drive than a 500bhp car on the road. was on low boost
