Hello. Yesterday my spec c engine died. anyone know where i can buy a new one or a good used one? if used, anyone knows a trusty seller that will do a compression test and so on before?

its a pitty that you cant buy complete shortblocks with all internals ready to build in by subaru, like the edm shortblocks

 

When you say "died", what's happened?

 

a piston died... i will open the engine next week, then i know more details

 

Cross checking some of the part numbers between JDM SpecC EJ207 and UK EJ207, the pistons/rings/BigEnd shells/Mains and crank are all the same.........

 

@Don Clark:

???

No, pistons and so on have another part number...
and the block does have thicker walls too (W20C Block)

 

Depends upon your models revision letter

 

All Newage sti use the same scd block and forged Pistons, 2005on they used hypereratic pistons, same block. Only the hatch jdm came with thick wall blocks and the silicone content Pistons from my understanding
The twinscroll use same block as others but use high content silicone Pistons
'I think that's right'

 

So would a jdm widetrack made in 2004 have forged or hypereratic pistons??

 

And the diffrence in hypereratic Pistons and forged, th hypereratic Pistons are more to buy and don't expand as much but will fatigue over time and crack.

 

hypereutectic

 

All twinscroll use the hypereatic pistions

Thanks dave lol
