Also EJ25 in an s-chassis? That is something I've never seen/read/heard of
lol I have not either, just was thinking about it as I'm dailying an sti currently...and they aren't hand in hand...the headgasket failure is due to other issues, not normally the hp, but a bad tune can screw these engines super fast! also not sure if is due to manufacturing defects or jus ttrying to pinch pennies but ringland failure seems to happen to quite a few people...

It could be the engines are blowing their own headgaskets in a protest to Subaru to be retired since the design is nearly two decades old.


That being said I would fucking love to daily a hawkeye Sti.


If we are talking odd swaps, I'd like to see the gm Ecotec LTG in an S-Chassis. 272 crank HP/@95TQ stock. Bigger turbo and some E85 see's close to 400.

This is from my personal experience. SR20DET CONS #1) bolts/nuts keep backing out from manifold, to turbo AND turbo to elbow. very annoying and I don't want to weld nothing. #2) My sr20det came with a Walboro 255 fuel pump with stock injectors and stock FPR so my air fuel is off and I get a hint of gas smell. #3)When my AC is on, it runs like crap, probably because my ac compressor is bad. I live in Florida so running no AC and getting that hint of gas smell makes me not want to drive the car.
PROS #1) SR20DET's are easy to work on. #2) Reliability #3) JDM

Are those really issues with the engine though?


1. Locktite?
2. new FPR and bigger injectors?
3. New compressor?
