  • Building the Perfect Subaru EJ20 Engine - Full Build Review + Specs
    Andy from Scooby Solutions talks us through the build and the parts used in my Subaru Legacy 2.1 stroker EJ20 engine, or now EJ21
    Using a nitrated ej25 crank, forged rods, pistons and a closed deck block this engine is capable of 600bhp and is now a EJ21.
    Aside from the ej207 that can be bought as a semi closed block and it already factory forged I wanted to future proof this EJ. The Ej207 can be had for about 2800pounds and once mated to the heads with its associated parts will be around 3800 to 4000 pounds , at this price I could have a basic ej21 built. I originally wanted to just be a rebuild but got carried away and went for everything.
    The new engine is a converted closed deck block
    Now an EJ21
    A 2.5 litre nitride crank
    RR h beam rods
    Roger clark pistons 8.6.1 compression
    Roger clark headgaskets
    Roger clark thermostat
    Roger clark baffled sump
    Mahle bearings
    Reworked heads with stock cams
    Solid shim conversion

    This looks mega! All in this cost around £3k? Would that be similar on a 2004 JDM twinscroll EJ20 do you think? Might be my upgrade in a couple of years but I'm currently at 105k miles on mine.

    • @InitialB
      @InitialB  Год назад +1

      Hi man. Nah about double that for everything. The cost comparison for short block only.
      If your engine is running and has no problems I can’t say I’d be stripping it all down but yeah it’s definitely a large upgrade. You’ll need a turbo, injectors, gearbox, a few other bits to up the power of the twinscroll though. But at least you already have a good intake manifold and top feeds

    Nice video. What would an EJ207 stroked to 2.1 do lbft and BHP wise?

    • @InitialB
      @InitialB  4 месяца назад

      This engine was built for 550, but only because of the studs, people have run 2.1s at 600 fairly often. I guess as with anything, it depends how long you want it to run that power and for what application.

    • @InitialB
      @InitialB  4 месяца назад

      As for lbft, mine made 400lbft and 400bhp on a smallish turbo and too small injectors.

    what are the gains of a 2.1 stroker from a 2.0 with all things equal?

    • @InitialB
      @InitialB  Год назад +1

      A tad better spool from the increased capacity. And that you can still buy this crank brand new from Subaru capable of 1000bhp. You mights as well.

      @@coreyblitz2000 I’m going for 400bhp and 380ish lbft torque. Yeah the old 752 gearbox is good for 300bhp and the newer 5 speed 754s are usually ok for 350…. So we shall see.
