    Got a couple early closed deck RS motors in the garage, one is an ex rally Oz recce car motor, the car was heading for the crusher after the rally and the motor was saved by a local mechanic...

    Maybe I've said it before but Brett, you are one of the most informative Subaru gurus on the internet. Thank you for your fantastic explanations!

    This EJ22G (I assume it's a "G" series block) can handle over 40psi without cracking at all. Some people even claim that the 2.2 version of this block is sturdier than the 2jz-gte.

    You're videos are excellent, and extremely informative. I've recently started watching them, but look forward to gaining insight to everything WRX, and STI...
    Keep up the good work. You're enthusiasm and business savvy are infectious.

    Great explanation. Now I understand why the head gaskets failed in my '09 Legacy 2.5l before 5 years...

    1:13 you are not telling people the truth. When the head is torque down on the block. The cylinders supported by the head. Honda K engines are open deck blocks and everybody know these are strong engines.

      Take a look at your typical garden hose. Now, turn it on full. See how much water comes out? Yeah, you can poke a LOT of water throw small holes, especially when you are actively pumping the stuff, at pressure.

      Subaru should have these come closed from factory. I'd so buy a brand new sti if it did but why buy a new car only to have to do engine work.

  • @timothybradley982

    Why did MRT not cut a “cooling ring” around the top of the cylinder bores like Subi-Performance?

  • @TommioRS
    @TommioRS 7 років тому

    Forgot the EJ22T used on the North American legacy SS from 90-94. Its closed deck, Also might be the only factory motor with oil squirters from Subaru. Note: the Ej22T did NOT come with a factory intercooler.

  • @smokestrong1000
    @smokestrong1000 5 років тому +1

    from what i read it's rare to find a wrx with a factory closed deck engine. is that true? i know none of the new ones are closed deck. what's the point of producing a so called rally car with a weak open deck motor. i know you can sleeve it but yeah who has time for that

  • @OggaDugga

    • @zcolton53
      @zcolton53 8 років тому +1

      IAG performance sells their own closed deck in north america. they offer various stud options. many performance oriented shops throughout the US that can handle the machine work and install. Be picky about who tunes the car.

    Just a question, I own a 2002 forester in which I just replaced the clutch. I hear a rattling sound that stops when I sink the clutch pedal. The mechanic says to give it 500 miles for the clutch to break in. Is that normal? It never made a sound before.

    • @EfraKrajo

      350hp at the engine yes... Recommended to go with E85, and a 11mm or 12mm oil pump!

    These are only good if you increase oil passages. Close decking with stock oil ports will eventually fail.
