de-stroked 257?
I was just thinking about it today. has anyone de-stroked a sti 2.5 and ran high compresion in a NA car. for displasment and high rev's? I just had it cross my mind to do this with a block I have siting around and then make some ITB's for it and see what it would drive like. I was just thinking a flat 4 with unequal length headers and ITB's would sound wicked.

not sure how far that would get you cause isn't the point of a high cr motor to also have as large a displacement as possible?
also wasn't there someone on NASIOC that put ITBs on the car and it did next to nothing?

well I am not sure I know I have seen itb's on a turbo car and that would realy not do that much. but the point of de-stroking the 2.5 would be for the quick rev's that you can acheve. it is something that has been done to V8's for a long time. the less strock the less stress on the rotating parts in the block at high rpm. I am sure you would still have a decent sized motor. like a 2.3 or something but this way you could rev the crap out of the block. also on a block like this the itb's would help alot for thotel responce not nesasaraly power.

Haha, an all motor subaru would be some cool **** though...maybe contend with some of the all motor honduhs...

Do it. I bet it would sound badass. A buddy of mine has a JDM sr20det with ITBs that he's swapping into his se-r sentra.
10k with some lopey cams 11:1 compression and an unequal length header would sound badass.

yeah that is what I am thinking. keep the unequal length headers and get some sweet *** sounds out of that car. I dont care ir I only get 220hp out of that thing when I am done. I was even thinking of welding the center diff and having RWD. as of now I am kinda having problems with the heads that I ordered ( bad clearences on the cam caps we were prity sure we fixed the problem but then I went to start the car and the belt jumped 3 teeth ): I am realy hopein it did not hurt anything and I am going to try and send back the heads and have them redo them. So my time an money is all taken up with my wrx. But I realy miss dirving my old GC so evey time I see this one parked I realy want to do something with it.

i have have seen de-stroked 2.5's down to 2.34-2.4's turbo'd and be in the 10k range in the 4 cyl. class. and i do like the 2.4 v8 f1 cars. i think they sound sweet and 20k rpm's. but i do not think you will get what you want out of a suby motor. maybe an auto-x motor and that is about it.

well to be honest I dont realy want it for racing I might make it RWD as a little drift project. I think I could get maby 250+ WHP with itb's and high compresion. maby like 11 to 1 or maby a little lower. I was just thinking of doing a 95 impreza L as a nice daily driver that sounds sweat.
