crank and pistons

[Pappu1]

been thinking on this for a while but unsure so here goes:

is it possible to transplant a v7 sti engine setup in a closed deck rs block

i mean v7 crank and rods and pistons to a 89 rs block

the v7 are rear thrust bearings and the rs is center thrust - whats the dam difference anyway?

and also, will v7 sti heads fit the transplanted rs block?

what other heads will fit? - v7 wrx? v4 wrx?

chers for the info!!

Yes you can but your going to have have the block machined to accept a rear thrust crank.

The diffence is where the thrust bearings are - ie rear of block , centre block.

The heads will fit on.

Given it will cost $$ to get it to fit the rear crank you need to answer the question do u need a cdb.

which model got the block change from centre to rear thrust bearings?

[Guest]

version 5 and above

ahh thanks for that..

pretty much the v7 sti internals will fit strait into a v5-7 block right..?

thats without having to make adjustments for the bearings as per the old rs blocks..

Have you thought of getting your orginal block closed?

true isnt v7'8'9 technically semi-closed deck's any way and can handle 25 +++ psi or so/ and closed deck's iv been reading are only realy good for ppl working towards over 500whp.. you could just spend lots and get a v7 Spec C block or or or stroke a EJ22 to get 2.8L and go nuts ;D

[Guest keltik]

How exactly do you stroke an EJ22 to get 2.8L?
