If you don't know where it is PM me.

Bring something when you come (beverages or foods), if everyone brings one thing we'll be all set.
Wait what's going on at Mr. Ben's

I have no issue posting a party invite up here, anyone that doesn't know me isn't going to PM me, and anyone that does know me isn't going to invite whomever they want, they'll show up and bring a food or beverage item, bring their significant other if desired, not bring randoms over, come over in a good mood, and we'll all have fun

Yea picked it up from a seb highschooler for too much money haha. Don't know where he got it I've taken a long look through it and it seems like it was swapped at one time, then put back to stock hastily using a third of the original hardware and mounts...but it is going to be swapped again anyway

If you're going to do a swap, I happen to have working JDM v8 STI heads that would just need to be resurfaced before use (obviously). In case you wanted to build a high-revving motor. If you're going for a GT35R or larger sized turbo, I wouldn't use the v8 heads. They're superb for GT30R or smaller though.

I'm happy that Subie has a good home now. I have a feeling that you will take good care of it!

Have line on a reliable Jdm version 7, that's the most desirable option for me. Is there any difference between the version 7 and version 8 heads?

The version 8 heads were the best head casting they ever produced. They have +1mm larger exhaust valves, larger porting than the v7 heads, and different cams than the v7, as the v7 was designed for 7300RPM, and the v8 heads have an 8000RPM redline. If you're going with a JDM STI 2.0L block, the v8 heads will give you the ability to rev to 8k. The v8 heads worked great for me with a GT3076R, but when I switched to a GT35R, they simply didn't flow enough for me, so I went with big port 2.5L heads and big cams. The v8 heads I have are in great condition, just need a block to bolt up to. Whatever you go with, keep us in the loop, I look forward to reading about your project.
