boxman Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Throw a stack out the side at the B-pillar and hang some truck nuts off the back bumper and you're good for at least 50hp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merc6 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Please tell me you have a sound clip or video of the car with 5 inch pipes before you needed a new short block.

boxkita Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 This is why I don't visit this place much... I'm looking for a built short block that I can put some heads on and my accessories and put in my car. Why is this so hard to comprehend? Actually there are several places to find short blocks. However, a "built" short block means different things to different people as you have read. Perhaps you could enlighten us as to your plans and you might get better answers. You have your own heads? Are they from your current motor which died due to engine/ringland/turbo problems? Or you bought a car missing an engine and you need a new engine? I'd skip that whole putting it together step and just get this - http://www.importimageracing.com/cosworth-high-performance-long-block-assembly-3-for-2004-2014-sti-2002-2014-wrx.html . This long block (already has heads) will be more than enough for anything you want to do, even build a Ken Block rally car. If you still need more answers, search for rebuild. You'll find the Heurberger shortblock is the typical starting point. Then you buy the gasket kit. Then you buy a bunch of other parts & custom tools. Then, once it's togther, you find a place to tune it. If you're lucky, they give you a break-in tune. If not, you get to rebuild it again. Buy a long block and skip that mess, then get one of the highly rated tuners on the forums to give you a break-in tune. Once done with that, start logging and getting it tuned to fit your needs.

Max Capacity Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Lol, I'm far from being a noob. mods are as follows, vf52, 850's, 5in exhaust, 265 pump, comp stage 2 clutch, fast MS fmic. Tuned on e85 at 23psi. You guys did a Hell of a job on you're own acting and looking like dbags. For the guys that helped, thanks! I really appreciate it and I finally have something to base on... If you would have told us that in the first post we could have answered differently. You have no idea how many noobies come on here and ask the same basic question and don't have a clue what it really takes. I think we kept asking for more info in our own way. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

It was not really that hard when you have the right tools and a semi truck parts depo local to you. it even has a muffler on the end of it.. So you blew your engine for some other reason? 5 inch is too big. You need some backpressure to make everything work. However, with a 5 inch pipe, you might as well run a pipe from the DP out the side of the car by the front wheel.

Leviman Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Honestly, I think he could run a downpipe out the side of his car and it would be fine, just have to tune for it. The guy wasn't the most up front about things, too bad, but don't just start raggin' on him for no logical reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merc6 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Congrats for being proactive, not many of us had that window to prepare. If you haven't already seeing it's an 05, CHECK THE BANJO BOLT FILTERS! That's how I ended up with my very own build thread quest. I take it you already have a budget marked out to reflect 600+ crank/wheels esc.... Will this 600+ be a daily driven car or recreational mischief? 2005 Satin White Pearl Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Unlimited 5EAT (Project Car) 2019 Agate Black Ford Explorer XLT 4WD (DD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
