Seen as this is a hot topic,

please vote try not to spam the tread with my engines better than yours comments

 

2.0 bug STi, 105k miles @ 440bhp

 

The last 2 are kind of the same thing. Should have been Modded 2.5 failed and standard 2.5 failed.

 

but my engine Is better than yours...

 

I've killed a 2.0 and two 2.1's what do I put?

 

If you didn't have bad luck you wouldn't have any.


I've had three mildly modified 2.0's and never had any problems with any of them.



( runs off to touch a large bit wood )

 

2006 2.5 Sti Spec-D - HG Failed @43k - Rebuilt by API

Lets hope this thread does better than mine hey!

 

my type r v4 2.0 failed after just 1 week of geting it :[
its @ the garage now geting the 2.5r on 2.0 heads put in ;] hope ths 1 keeps me going for a bit ;]

 

V3 Type r failed after full service, took it back to the same garage for rebuild and that failed, rebuilt myself and still running, well it was the last time it was in a car, it's on the garage floor at the moment so not sure if that counts.

54 plate 2.0L WRX PPP 94,000 miles and counting.

 

I put the last two options because some people will use a secondhand engine rather than rebuild. Hopefully we're getting genuine votes.

 

I blew my 2.0 WRX up but that was running 370 and had just done 5 laps of the ring, before letting go at 140 on the autobahn!

 

My 2.0 WRX was running 370 for about 2 years but went pop on Saturday

 

2.0l uk turbo classic running approx 320bhp, 94k and never missed a beat.

 

v1 sti 2.0l ran 7 yrs 50k-85k 300bhp no problems,forester sti 2.5l 277bhp ran 6 months hg fail 75k repaired ran 2 months then piston landing failed destroyed engine full scoobyclinc forged engine built 382bhp still running 2k later fingers crossed.

 

Hawkeye WRX 2.5 running approx 350bhp and had a piston ring land crack, now rebuilt with forged pistons and a few other goodies.

 

2.0 classic STi, 21,000 miles, running 305bhp.

 

Standard MY00 running 350ish (AFP 18g and supporting mods), swapped to a full three inch system...was due a remap but didn't get round to it; boost spike on WOT in fifth snapped a rod and stuck it through the block.

New engine is built but not in; de-stroked 2.5 CDB with all the bells and whistles. You need another poll option

 

where's the option for 1.6 n/a engine's?
mine only has a wee 1.6 engine and had no problems with it in 15 years, but my car is sorned so the engine hasn't been turned over for 6 month's or more

 

2.0 '01 bugeye WRX with 87k, bottom end just failed, replaced with another lower mileage EJ205, if/when it goes again, will be fitting another one
Car had good oil and no bits in it so must have just fatigued over time or else oilway was blocked.

 

Classic MY00 UK turbo PPP with 53k, doesn't miss a trick.

 

Where are the 2.1 & 2.35 options?

 

are the 2.1 and 2.35 engines that come as stock on the impreza?

 

Are the modified 2.0 & 2.5 engines on the list engines that come as stock on the Impreza?

 

im trying to gauge what people have done to the standard engine,

to gauge if the engine failed due to mods or in standard tune,

im not including engines that have been out, rebuilt and bored to different sizes that just confuses the issue even more.

 

I have killed loads lol
Recently fully forged 2.5s
I can point to why they went from a mechanical standpoint but the main reason is.....



is that I am complete nutter

 

So to clarify, this is directed towards completely standard Subaru engines, totally unmodified, but takes into account modifications such as turbos, injectors, intercoolers etc?

 

Is looking an interesting poll.
RB320 modded to 360 bhp @1.4 bar. #2 & 4 piston ringland @ 21k

Now forged and running 1.6 bar for over 3k with no issues what so ever. Thank you Mr Finch.

 

I've voted, but you missed out 2.0 modded, failed, rebuilt as 2.5.

 

Current Impreza (which is for sale) is running the standard engine happily at 284/317 with no issues.

Previous Impreza's oil pump blew at 70,000 miles (prior to ownership), destroying engine, turbo and exhaust system. Wouldn't have wanted to be the owner with that bill (can't remember from the history if it was done under warranty).

 

Yup basic bolt on mods like your average joe public would do, once we get into the relm of boring its no longer the oe engine.
