Man, that shiny block would look right at home in my subie 
Not to thread jack, but does anyone know how well the sleeves of a 97 dohc ej25 hold up under boost? Just made me think about it seeing that block pictured with the open deck

Correctly aligned but completely bald Azenis, slightly heated which makes a difference on the street although it's a disaster on the track, skip in and out of traction in 2nd on Goforth's 1900lb CRX which has a hell of a lot more power than 3000/450 even at low boost.
Someone somewhere is a stupid little monkey.

Re: Milling some rods so they fit STI pistons.
They used to do that to Honduh blocks ten years ago, I dunno who started it but Benson's made their original name doing that. They used more pins, tho.
Time has proven that we can make 500-650 off of stock sleeves... are you sure Scoobies aren't the same? Most of you guys run small turbos which build up heat in the engine, and then rely on a dummy knock sensor to take care of your ignition while you flog the ---- out of your rides for sustained periods in autocross, roadracing, hillclimb environments. For crying out loud, you ---- multiple pistons and your sleeves are fine even after what has to be a couple seconds of hardcore detonation before the piston comes apart! It really does sound to me like your stock blocks are very strong, just like Honduh stuff.
