There is a number of different V7 motors. The all have different strength due to different components. Which one do you have? Best thing is to give me the EJ207DW.... number you can see on the timing belt cover or the back of the driver's side head.

That's the head stamp. The number you need is located on the white paper sticker either on the front of the black plastic timing belt cover or the back of one of the heads.

That won't tell me much.

When people say V7, they refer to all JDM bugeye, pre-twin scroll motors. There were 4 major variations of them. Defferent heads, cam profiles, moving assembly components etc. So, I cannot say. 2 major diff motors are "regular" STi's and Spec C motors.

Do you see any numbers on that sticker at all? The last 2 would be great.

Thanks for the help but i can't find those #s anywhere. The only ones i found where unreadable.
