Subaru : Subaru Impreza Sti version 3 (1997 model)

What does the 2.5 bottom end bit mean?

 

Looks lots of car for little money!

Means its had a 2.5 conversion. Its a 2.5 litre now not 2.0 litre.

Would check who did the build, in the hope it was done by a specialist. If it was DIY then its risky, as you wont really know if corners were cut ect.

 

Scoobytecniks??

Emailed them but no reply yet.

So same piston diameter but longer stroke?

 

Think iv heard of Scoobytechniks, but had no experience with them so couldnt possibly say anything about them.

I would say its had a whole block from a 2.5. Iirc you need to find out if a WRX or STI block was used as strength wise they are very different.

But it does look a very nice car, alot of money has gone into that spec.

 

Check the Simtek is mapped for the 2.5 and not the 2.0 engine when it failed.
Looks like a lift up collar on the the gear stick, which suggests a six speed box added as well?

The symtek was fitted at the same time as 2.5 engine after the 2.0 failed and unfortunately its only got a 5 speed box.

 

Ah ha you found me...

 

It bothers me why sellers don't actually try to 'sell' their cars properly.
Given a good advert, decent photo's and necessary background info, cars like this may sell easier rather than keeping sellers wondering?

 

Well i have a scoobyteckniks 2.5 conversion and can vouch for there work.
What the 2.5 should mean is bags of torque from low down
