STI / JDM FXT EJ257 Engine Conversion
$3250 + Tax INSTALLED!!!!


-Less than 1000KM!!
-2.5 Liter, AVCS, etc.
-Guys this is essentially a NEW USDM EJ25 STI engine, minus the red intake manifold. The real difference between the FXT and the USDM STI is tuning, turbo size, and intercooler size.
-Long Block includes all pumps, sensors, intake manifold etc

Here's a dyno chart with the FXT motor with a VF30 on 91 octane.

Hey guys,

We are offering a one-time super special on an EJ257 JDM Forrester XT engine conversion for all WRX owners. $3250 INSTALLED!!! (+ tax)
This particular motor is from the JDM Forrester XT and makes about 250HP at the crank. The real power restrictions are due to the intercooler and turbo – the engine internals are virtually identical to the USDM STI. We have made 280whp & 305 ft/lbs of torque on a similar swap into a WRX with a VF34 turbo on 91 octane pump gas. Essentially this is a torque monster right out of the box!
We have 5 of these engines in stock but they are selling out fast. Please contact us for appointments.

*Tax is 8.75% sales tax, good condition WRX Long block for core required, if no core there is a $1000 core charge. Dyno tuning is additional.

Thanks,

Gary

FYI the 265whp was largely limited by the size of the turbo. This engine would be GREAT to spool a larger size turbo such as a GT30R on pump gas for daily driving, and would be a monster with race gas. :)

Hi guys,

9Vapors - We can offer $2500 + shipping. Shipping should be about $250 depending on if you're in an "outlying region" or not.

BoarderTJ - We can do $3250 installed plus tax if you would like to do that. :)

Hangbot - Additional $150 for automatic, there's actually a bit more work involved!

Guys, 3x more of these EJ257's left, and lots of interest! We just confirmed, these are the 2005 EJ257 engines, and they are 99% IDENTICAL to the USDM STI engine!! If you guys are interested you gotta move fast! :D

Thanks,

Gary

something to get it running reliably. after i get the handle of it i'll have you guys swap bigger stuff in:devil: So i guess to start - STi pink injectors, VF39(or your recommendation), and stock/usdm/whatever intercooler:)

thanks preston
