ANybody interested in a JDM forester EJ25 short block? same as usdm STi motor, it has about 4000 miles on it, and was broken in with non-synthetic for the first 1000 miles and ran on wastegate pressure(8 psi) with a TXS road tune. Right after break in it was tuned by TurboXS to 404whp and then turned down to 370whp for use on the street, it has about 2-3 thousand miles since then and has no issues what so ever. runs VERY VERY strong. I want 550whp on pump gas, so this motor no longer meets my goals. I am thinking $1500 for a local pickup on it. let me know if anyone is interested, PM or respond here.

bump...noone? i may be doing the whole longblock...$2400

Its only been posted for 2 hours, give it some time.

Are you gonna come to the Roy's meet so we can all see that beast??

no i dont think that would be a good idea. a couple of the mid-a wouldnt want me there.

I thought you could get Legacy Turbo/STI/Forester XT 2.5 Short Blocks from the dealer brand new for $1500?

that little, i thought it was more like 1700? and this is JDM ;)

bump.

I think brand new shortlblocks from the dealer are running up around 1600 - 1700. There's no difference between the JDM and US ej257 shortblocks that would justify charging a higher price however.

isnt 1500 lower than 1600-1700? the motor has about 4000 miles on it, so i dropped a couple hundred bucks. and 2400 head to head for the longblock isnt bad. i paid 3100 new.

It is, and I think your long block price is a fantastic deal.

Duncan

thanks, i figured id price it to move rather than have to be waiting around a long time to find a buyer.

Fixed thread title to properly spell "gauging"
