booki Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 and...video uploaded Do I build a motor, buy a EJ257 short block from subaru and put my heads on it? (Does that work well?) or just get my heads reco'd and call it a day. At this stage I am still doing some homework, but if there are some engine veterans around I would appreciate any advice. If I am to go with say a brand new short block from subaru, reco my heads and put on maybe a 20g TD06? Would it be safe/reliable ? How much power can the factory drivetrain handle? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) At that point, anything you do should involve forged pistons. Just swap in forged pistons, and replace the head gaskets. Dont really need a new bottom end. We do this all the time. We have good luck with JE pistons - they seem to slap the least. 2618 alloy. The Blouch 18GXTR with the 8cm housing is the sweet spot IMO. Makes about 370 wheel. GD Edited January 28, 2018 by GeneralDisorder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
