just had a look on www.catherineandken.co.uk/sti/wrx.html and i have a EJ2oG DW5pE sti2 555 engine in my sti2 WHICH IS SILVER,how can this be and what are the differances between a sti and sti 555

thanks matt

 

STi 555 was an STi 2 that only came in rally Blue with a roof vent, and had a few 555 logo's here and there.

 

i agree but on my vin plate it says ej20g dw5pe and that would make that a 555 engine,what differance that would make i dont know,strange a

this is my vin plate

 

Remember this is the first "Production Line" STi's. From what I've seen they are a bit of a parts bin special.

My guess they used what they had in stock at the time. There often seems to be different gearboxes fitted to the early cars, and some none Jap STi's (Hong Kong / AU / NZ) have weird mixes.

 

is there any differance in the engine itntenals between what would be a sti and a 555 sti engine,i hope there is as i have
am i tha only one with this engine in a none 555 car!

thanks matt

 

Sorry but no. The engines are the same.

 

if that is the case why put a different engine number to the engine!

Just been reading this post as I have a silver sti2 wagon with a 555 engine. According to Which Car is a WRX STi the EJ20G DW5PE engine was supposedly for a 4door 555 and produced 275bhp, compared to 260bhp.

Anyone know any different?

 

yep your right , thats because the 4 door saloon 555 produced 275bhp yet the 5 door wagon 555 produced 260 bhp . figures are from subaru not ones i made up , unless anyone knows different . and lets not forget that the 555 is not just an sti with stickers on, that would be unfair. It is an RA after all and built to commemorate colin mcrae world rally wins and the homologation car . and all v2 555 come with closed deck block which i belive is not the case for all sti engines .

 

I believe that the ECU's are different between Wagon & Saloon. That might explain the power difference.
