Do I have forged internals
 

Hey guys
Just a quick question , I have a 2002 sti prodrive style , did this model come with forged pistons / rods etc ?
Cheers

Factory Forged or not 400/450 bhp is as far as you want to go without rebuilding,

Taken from another post.

V7 (bug) JDM and UK pistons were forged.
V8 (non widetrack blob) pistons were forged on UK cars and hypereutectic on JDM cars.
All V9 (widetrack blob) and V10 (hawk) pistons are hypereutectic.

bug sti has forged pistons, semi closed deck block, screw in rods, shimless vale lifters, sodium filled exhaust valves and hollow valve intakes and a load of other enhancements. it was said that the bug sti engine was over engineered and hence a very strong engine.

Cheers guys I'm happy now , just looking to make 400bhp , currently at 340 and have git to used to it , Cheers again

Wonder why the hell Subaru don't do this with the new models? :wonder:

......cost

Hypereutectic pistons are stronger than more common cast aluminum pistons and used in many high performance applications. They are not as strong as forged pistons, but are much lower cost due to being cast

WOUNDED!! Should have kept the bug:cry::cry:

I have a uk non widetrack blobeye sti

Is my car not mechanically the same

i think they are the same yes.

So happy right now !!!

Well just bought a 2001 JDM bug, so pretty happy to read this post.

The most cost effective/strong base to mod from. :thumb:

good choice bud :thumb:

Yeah, don't know whether to keep standard or push it a little bit, been long time since I've modded ready for a map session. 💪🏻Attachment 21358

I don't think you'd regret a few small performance mods - a decat and remap could see an extra 60-70 bhp. :D

No need for styling mods, though - looks great as it is IMO. :thumb:

No versions after 6 but if you wanted to use them then you need to follow the rally car numbering, ie 7 and 8 are both bug, 9, 10, 11 are blobs, 12 and 14 hawk.

Hi have a jdm v2 sti classic

What internal do I have

Rodders

Forged pistons but your engine is no where near as strong as a new age STI.
