your 04 is that the blob eye shape after the bug eye, I thought they all were 2.5l LOL didnt know they have 2.0 too in that shape sti.

I think the EJ25 fits straight into classics so should have no probs fitting to yours mate

If you're using your wrx heads inlet manifold you will need a full gasket set and a 16mm breather blank off pipe as the 2.5 block has an extra breather coming out of the top of the block.

Hi finch,

did you have any work done to the heads (matching to bigger bores) and are you sticking with the VF35..?

Would be very interested to know how it compares to the 2.0l..
