Is the EJ205 a good engine?
The Version 5 and 6 EJ205 and EJ207 is a good motor, but it is over 15 years old now. It is considered reliable and will make around 250hp. Again, it will be difficult to pass emissions with one of these engines, due to the OBDII port that isn’t compatible with typical scan tools.
Is the EJ205 a turbo engine?
Subaru’s EJ205 was a 2.0-litre horizontally-opposed (or ‘boxer’) four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine.
What Turbo does the EJ205 have?
Impreza WRX EJ205 engine turbochargers are TD04 (1.0 bar). The EJ205 engine for Impreza II was equipped with variable valve timing system AVCS on intake camshafts and TGV system (Tumble generator valves) in the intake manifold for reducing emissions.
How much HP can a stock EJ20 block handle?
300 whp: The EJ20/EJ25 engines can handle 300 whp maximum with stock internals with no further modifications other than a proper fuel management tune. 400 whp: We suggest a set of forged AMR pistons and billet rods to safely boost up the engine.
Is EJ better than FA?
While the EJ motors remain sensitive to knock conditions and tuners do everything in their power to prevent detonation, the FA motors are even more sensitive and the challenges of direct injection have made avoiding knock much harder. Well, the FA engine uses a different style spark plug than the EJ engines.
Is there a warranty on a Subaru EJ205 short block?
This is a brand new, completely assembled 2.0 Liter EJ205 short-block directly from Subaru. If you are putting this block in a car that it was not originally designed for, it carries no warranty expressed or implied. The original Subaru part number for this block was 10103AB330
What kind of engine does Subaru EJ25 have?
For over 2 decades we have tested all combinations of upgrades for the turbo-charged EJ20, EJ25, and more recently the new FA20 Subaru engines. We have pushed these engines to their breaking points to determine which components fail at what level.
Can you use EJ20 cylinder heads on EJ25 crankcase?
For this reason, we build all of our EJ20’s as a hybrid setup: Using the EJ20 cylinder heads on an EJ25 short block/crankcase. The two are compatible using special thicker gaskets, with no modifications needed to the heads themselves. This setup allows you to make big power reliably.
Why are crawfordspec forged WRX rods so narrow?
The narrow skirt helps minimize piston contact with the cylinder wall that can cause friction and power loss while the shortened wrist pins reduces the overall weight. Every CrawfordSPEC rod is designed at a specific length, engineered by and exclusive to Crawford Performance.
