EJ207 Block + EJ20R heads


ReubenH

Recommended Posts

Yup, sorry, another thread. I've been searching all night for this one though, cause I know it's been done, but I can't find ****. Call it mondayitis affecting my judgement...

So I'm buying a V7 EJ207 shortie from subaru, and slapping my 20R heads on it, I need to know the finer points

Are there issues with valves and pistons?

Are there issues with compression ratios?

Anyone know what thickness headgaskets I need?

The heads have been planed once, when they were rebuilt first time, I do not know how much has been taken off (I can't imagine much at all, they were only 100,000k old and died of big end, not head gasket)

Again, sorry for all the new threads and my ineptitude at search. I am continuing my search though.

Assembled short block with new oil cooler and oil pump. No shipping as I'm getting it down here on the dealers normal freight. I think that is trade though, I did mention where I work when I called up for it.

It's literally slap the heads on, and timing gear, and away you rock. This build will literally be half the price of my first PBMS build, and will offer better drivability. It won't be able to handle 25psi on the track like my PBMS block could though (not that I ever had a chance to do that (the 25psi part)), and that build also included things like ARP headstuds and a baffled sump. But this engines going in a GT, not a rally car, so woopty doo. And I'm swapping the baffled sump and ARP studs over anyway.

Hi All 

  • I am replacing my EJ20R short block in my 1996 Legacy RSB because it overheated quite substantially. We currently believe the engine needs a new headgasket maybe more.
  • I have also placed an order at Winger Subaru for a EJ207 Short block kit (10103AB470K) however it is most likely the V8/9 STI one as I was informed that they weren't sure if they could source a V7 STI EJ207 Short block. I will chase them up to get a definitive answer.  
  • I am still hoping that I can get a V7 EJ207 short Block.
  • I know that the pistons are different between V7 and V8,Will the hypereuthectic pistons be reliable and suitable for my application below?
  • I am personally only going to keep it as a street car.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
