How many forged engines have you blown on one car?
And also how many miles roughly did you get out of each one?
road driving,no track use.

That's a very broad question. I'm sure if I was running a bar of boost on one it'd last for a verra long time.

On my 3rd one in 13 months.
Not including running in miles
1st - 300miles
2nd - 60 miles
3rd - 4500 miles to date
They popped after some very very poor mapping
, difference with the 3rd is it has been mapped by Andy F 
The first 2 engines both blew a rod through the block

Sorry for the hijack Dannytwo.
Can you list who built your engine(s), so we know who is good and who to avoid. If you have had a failed engine and you know why, then please list that too.

'Standard forged'? There is no such thing. A 'forged' engine has forged steel rods, a forged crankshaft (both machined from solid billet, not machined castings) and forged pistons. Subaru havent made a car with a forged crank and rods.

They paid for the rebuilds, sort of.(they used s hit 2nd hand parts ie rods on the rebuilds when I had paid for aftermarket forged items)
It was worth the wait, I have an EVO X SST and my V3 STi puts a bigger smile on my face.
