    I've been having an issue with both exhaust side AVCS solenoids having a small oil leak and after replacing the gaskets they still seems to be leaking. I was told by Subaru they don't sell replacement O-rings for the solenoids just the entire assembly which are working so rather than dropping a...

    Running pull from a bone stock 2015 Subaru STI with 160,000 miles. Cylinders 1 and 3 compression down to 90psi. Was losing half a quart every two weeks. I decided to install an RA shortblock and new heads so I don't need this taking up space in my garage now. This is a great set for a rebuild or...

  4. 2.5 Liter/Litre Factory Motor
    My engine is on its last legs and I originally wanted to build the car but now I think I just want to plop another engine in and drive it for a bit and get rid of it. I am wondering how difficult or even if it's possible to use a 2019 ej257 or later model ej than 2011. My reasoning is all of the...

    What’s up guys. I currently am in the process of building a new motor but am having some troubles on deciding the power band I should stay within. I’m pretty sure I’ll hold ~500-550hp comfortably as it won’t be my daily(minus time to break in the motor) but a track car. I’m still buying parts...

    In bad traffic today, downshift from 3rd to 2nd at 22 mph and press throttle deep enough to building 3 pound of boost before rpm shots to over 3k rpm, this is bad lugging?

  9. 2.5 Liter/Litre Factory Motor
    Hello! I have a 2004 STI with 115k miles. My dad was driving it on our way to Michigan from Cincinnati Ohio, but the car only made it about 45 min. He said that when he would slow down and push in the clutch the motor would die. Then he would dump the clutch to get the motor running again...

    Hi all, this is my first post here so please be patient with me. I have done a couple of hours of research to no avail. I am currently in the process of swapping the 257 from a '16 STI into my '11 GR WRX hatch chassis. I have swapped every single component with the exception of the rear...

    G'day guys! I've just recently bought an 08 STI Spec-R from a used car dealer (fortunately under warranty still), and I've just had to get the car towed back there to be repaired, although I am skeptical as their repairer is by no means a Subaru specialist or a performance specialist...

    Hello all, First all I tried to post on the classifieds but the website would not let me. I have a 04 sti with no engine what so ever. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to get it on the road but as of right now I think buying a used long block is the best bet. I’m asking for either a 205 or...
