Forgot to ask in my other post. Where is a good starting point for sorting out what tyre pressure i need on the track. The tyres i had before where pretty flimsy so i was pumping them upto 38psi cold, but am uder the impression this may he abit high for these tyres. Thinking of starting at 30psi cold getting them hot then going from their?

back in another 07 hey! :P, no one ever gets over the WRX's

Didnt see the post dude. But yeh the temptation was too great.

Ok so i have since half install a wide-band sensor and LED gauge. I have just received a steering column surround which i will be building the LED display into so hopefully in the next couple of weeks i can provide some pics of the custom install.

i also found a used 2006 ej255 short block. Story is has 60k on it and was removed from a wrx wagon as the owner install a forged option. Has abit of shit in the water galleries which will require abit of elbow grease to remove. Plan is to build it myself in the shed slowly for a target of about 350whp or their abouts.


Finally got around the completely stripping it apart which was a great experience. Bores are in perfect condition, and none of the pistons have any broken rings or damage. So far so good.



Now this where things get interesting. With the block stripped i noticed this scoring which was obviously somehow done by the crank. When i look at the crank closely i cant see any damage. And when i drop the crank in the block half it has nice amounts of clearance from the block where the scores are located. I havnt had a chance to do any measuring but could anyone shed some light on possible issues? As far as im aware the bearings look to be in good condition etc.




Factory burr, thanks subi.

So did a bit more research regarding what i though was crank walk issue. None of the bearings including the thrust bearing show signs of damage and the crank has no visible marks on it to suggest it has scored the block, so i dont think it is damage. I looked at a few pics of split ej25's and they also have the same markings which suggests it is a factory finish as shown below. Afew of you probably already knew this, but being my first engine build i am going to be extremely thorough.


next on the list is bearing clearances. I have a number in mind after doing some research, but will be chasing this up with real life people.
