semi closed ej275
how far can they be pushed?
currently looking to build a 450 - 500 bhp engine
for a road car how much can a std ej257 take, for an extra £@@@@ would i be stupid not to get it relined
or even a smaller cdb bored out
im curretly running a std wrx internally running over 380 bhp on the std clutch and gear box
if that shows how much I really "use" the car
i just don't want to be in the same position i am now where i dare not nail the car down santa pod \ track because Im worried it will pop
im stuck so all help welcome

My sti 2.5 (EJ257)bottom end has lasted only 18000 miles since being built and that's only a max bhp of 380,It's now being rebuilt with forged pistons and steel rods etc.
Hopefully the last rebuild for a long time.
When describing the engine I was told that it was worn out ?

rods and pistons are panned, just thining about the block at this stage
Things are starting to move
Burns;
the current Sti's are pushing that, so i guess it was something to do with your build or map
