of course I just remembered another that lasted 150miles of run in before a liner slipped.. but fault put down to workmanship of the block..
well 2.5 is superb, great spool, great torque etc..
just getting a block to stay together at over 500 is the problem.. as being discussed on the thread on 22b really.
Yes looking forward to Banny's etc..

Is it worth a try as i want to re-use the guts from my bulit EJ257 as showed on 22b?
Or do i cut my losses and do the 2.35 route for my newage.
I've got a Lateral GT3040 and supporting mods to bolt to it.
You can PM me if you prefer Simon.

Fine, Steve bought the engine second hand, and its been rock solid as far as i am aware. It's running a Lateral Gt30r. He will be changing the rods soon, so the boost can get upped to 2bar and 600 will be the target.

He built and mapped my mates STI engine a few weeks ago - very good service and a nice guy. I had a chat with him about all things engineeing not just Subaru's, I came away very impressed. Anyone who plays with jet engines in there spare time has got to be pretty clued up.
