Guys can anybody confirm if the engine in the forester sti is the same 2.5 engine that has the issues?any known issues etc?due to an expanding family my current car a skyline gtr might not be the modt practical.top of my list at the minute is a mapped 535d but the forester idea has just been put in my head by a friend.any information would be greatly appreciated.cheers guys.

 

The FSTi engine is an EJ255 - same as the WRX and has faired better than the EJ257 STi

 

Brilliant,thankyou for the reply.

 

My old MY 05 STi was gas converted by it's new owner at 40k. Last seen on 150k and going strong.

 

Happydays.what are they like to modify?what kind of power can be had out of one?the more i look the more i like.its definately a contender with the 535d now.
