So on september 15th my motor went. Cracked piston in cylinder 3.
Since then i haven't been able to decide what the **** i want to do.
So many options, such little $.
Basically here is the list of options i have.
1. Used ej205 bare long block and just swap all my stuff over.
2. Build my current block with forge rods and pistons, some head work.
3. Get a used 2.5l sti shortblock, slap my heads on it for a hybrid setup.
4 .Buy a brand new 2.5l sti shortblock from subaru and put my heads on it for a hybrid setup.
5 .Try to find a used sti longlock, delete avcs and swap all my stuff over.
6. Pick up a JDM ej207 from a V7 sti and swap the entire motor in.
All in all, everything else will be re-used.
VF-48
Tial 38mm wastegate
Grimmspeed wastegate up-pipe.
Grimmspeed boost control solenoid.
stock manifold (most likely will upgrade)
DeatschWerks 750cc injectors.
Full catless turbo back.
Currently a injen shortram but i am going to get something else.
will also be upgrading to at minimum STi TMIC.
Walbro 255 fuel pump.
I will most likely be adding a better than stock inlet also.
