hi

Im sure this topic has been coverd many times , in few months time i will be looking out for jdm sti 53plate as i sold my sti uk , was wondering do they come with a open or close deck block and forged pistons any other good points over the uk spec.

thanks for looking

 

Semi closed deck & forged pistons, plus the newer age bolt type rods, may even have the nitrided cross drilled crank.

 

JDM = Semi closed deck block, hypereuetic pistons, uprated crank (nitrided/x drilled for better oil feed), twin scroll etc etc etc, its a better engine.

thanks tony n gt iv been looking very hard for a jdm they seem to be very rear to come up on sale

 

Far superiour engine to the uk as tony and GT have said above,it also has big port avcs heads and cams same as what the spec c has,a close ratio gearbox,and wider track 114pcd,a JDM blob sti is the only model i would have if i was looking to go the newage route.

 

An 03 car wouldn't be wide track would it?

was just about to ask the same Q

 

this brings back memories lol

its the same as i have fitted.

 

No... JDM MY03 is not wide track. MY05> is Wide Track.

As already pointed out the pistons are not forged either. They are hypereuetic.

 

Not on a MY03 STI they dont!

 

Really...i was always under the impression that jdm sti cars went 114pcd from 03 onwards and uk sti cars went 114pcd from 05 onwards,nice 1 shaun ya learn something new everyday.

 

My old Spec C was a 54 plate but MY05 model so had the wider track

TX.

 

My jdm is an early my05 as on an 04 plate august 2004 I think. I would lookout for a my05 if I was in your position as a few improvements were added when they went wide track

 

will do, thats the plan
