2.2block and 2.5 crank.
Strongest engine combination.

Is that the closed deck version of the engine? i hear alot of the US guys are getting there engines re-sleaved and pushing them out to 2.6 or even 2.8 ltr! Is this not a good idea?.....

Its the closed deck block out of the Legacy 2.2 Turbo that was only sold in the US. Current price for a second hand block is around £1200.

We've had constant problems with headgaskets and liners dropping on the sleeved blocks.

i bet all that lot costs a serious amount of cash, id love 500bhp in my impreza but i expect it will cost much more than the car is worth just for the engine and then theres the gearbox,clutch, brakes, suspension.....etc etc, which all adds up to mega mulla.

If you sell you just strip parts to sell.
665bhp and 1200kgs is better power to weight than a veron, which shows how cheap it actually is despite cost and work involved just veron gets more chicks lol

Thanks for the info! are there T shaped sleaves avaliable? I only ask as the US guys used to have loads of problems with sleaves dropping in V8s. It came down to incoret machining and insterlation. also is it Darton that manufacture the sleaves?

Didn't realise that the US leggy had the same block as the 22b.

Here's mine. I hope to be able to add an R32 GTR in here soon too - just about my perfect "realistic" combo

[GTR Cook]

Lovely Teg, have always loved the DC5.

[rb5230]

something to keep my impreza company:

[BurgerKing]

Does mine count as a Jap wagon? Forester 2.5XTen PPP, most of the Scooby fun without any of the unwanted attention.

[TRUENOSAM]

Couple of my current Toyota's after selling my Scooby wagon last week

[Lionsden]

My Mitsubishi Delica, L400 Exceed, 2.8TD, 4WD with Lockable Diff and Low Ratio. Converted Campervan.

[Doobs]

My 200sx has served me well for many years now but because of work I need to do some heavy mileage. My brother came up with the perfect solution, buy a cheap 2nd car to use on the motorway. Something smooth, comfortable, easy to drive and a bit of extra space for sprog transport. So here's what he recommended ...



4.0 litre V8 for just a scratch over a grand - can't say I'm disappointed

I have no idea how I got approval from the wife

[TotalControl]

^^ Well done for that! Toyota's 4.0 litre V8 is a big itch of mine that needs scratching sometime.

[GravelBen]

Turns out winter isn't over after all... always get some good reactions roof down in the snow.
