Which STi version is better?
#1
Since my STi swap is getting written off I may be sourcing a new engine. I had a V4. It definitely needs new valves etc. If the cheque is big enough I may want to purchase a different engine/tranny.
I like the low end punch that the VF24 gave me. Would like to be putting out about 350hp. In terms of mods and reliability is there a specific STi version favoured over another? I may have the chance to buy anything from a V.2 up to a V7.
Unquestionably the V7 gearbox but I wonder which engine I should use.

Sti 7 has a stronger block - so you can push more boost into if it the rest of the 'bits' are up to it. Are you going to rebuild the engine - especially the rods and pistons? If so - go for the 7.

Something that makes me nervous about the STi 7 is the valve timing thing. Seems like that motor can't be revved quite as hard as my version 4. Also, it's kind of complicated and I don't know if it's well sorted out yet.
I'm the sort of person who drives with the pedal to the floor like 50% of the time so I will want something strong and up to the task. After all it is an STi!
