02 uk Sti bugeye question
Was wondering, do the Uk sti's have forged internals on an 02 plate or was it just the later versions, or was it just the JDM's?

The Uk cars has "forged" internals, just dont expect them to be anywhere near as good as aftermarket items, as they are not.
The cars that had them fitted were the MY02-MY05 cars (2ltr STI) the 2.5 doesnt.

Don't let Tony's answer put you off buying a bugeye STi (I don't have one by the way)
Almost the best bang per buck scooby you can buy with 400BHP a reality with mods..........and even the gearbox will take it LOL

So my point is, dont be fooled into thinking it means its considerably stronger on the standard internals, its stronger but not stupidly stronger.

I would expect the clutch or gearbox to give up before the engine at that sort of power. I've got a cunning plan to see about 300bhp this year and then get a new turbo and injectors next winter to see around the 340 mark. Prior to that I'm getting and exedy clutch and lightweight flywheel fitted, but after 50k my clutch is starting to show signs of wear anyway

Mr. Alan Jeffrey has two customers up around the 450 bhp mark, as with many things in life some are good others are better.
