Good luck with the build.
Yeah, should add it in.

Bore will be honed and block decked, using thicker gasket too, so should be slight increase in displacement, but not much.

Would be false economy to not stick a set of rods in whilst it's apart.
Good luck with the build.

With the way this car gets tuned, forged internals means it just might last a bit longer, not make more power, e85 is the only real upgrade in this application

Only just saw this post while having a re-read...

Some people's hero street cars can't be flex tuned on an open source tune (eg. MY08 with Verso) ... hence why some owners have been wondering about aftermarket ECU's

I'm not keen to go straight e85 as my missus and I go down south regularly and carrying jerry cans in the hatch severely limits luggage and wine purchases

Looks like the open source tunes are getting close to virtual flex tune capability. ie running any combination of 98 or E85 and not needing an alcohol sensor.

I wish there were more e85 service stations. Perth wrx would become a green club.
