Hello everyone. 2005 wrx 160,000 miles.. Pretty stock except cobb dp, perrin short ram and exhaust. A local shop in town is going to start my hybrid swap on monday. Heads should be sent in on monday as well. Getting a new 2.5 from the factory. Buying new intercooler, radiator, and hoses hopefully today off the internet. Not sure what turbo, injectors, or clutch (still stock trans. Original clutch). Leaning towards vf39 or an equivalent. It will be daily driver. Im not wanting 400 hp. Any advice? Tips?

EDIT* you're gonna need a tune as well. Link up with a reputable tuner in your area and see about getting a Cobb accessport. |

with it being a sti 2.5 short block from 04-06 with my 2.0 heads, would it still be topfeed? i have the cobb accessport and a tuner in Las Vegas, NV (only 1.5 hour drive) he's done a few hybrids.

I just got my car back friday. Did the hybrid swap. I put the Act HD street performance clutch in. Ive only driven it 25 miles. No chatter. No noise at all. Not sure if you have to drive like a bat out of hell to get any noise to appear. Just a little stiffer than stock. I'm happy with it.

good afternoon. figured id chime in. idk if im in the right spot or not..so if im not feel free to move me. i have an sf5 wagon with a swap. 93 ej22T bottom end, 2.5rs heads, vf39. currently on about 9/10lbs. 02 rex bluetops, wideband o2, tuned with an afc. i guess what i wanted to know is how reliable are these bottom ends are. i know its a closed deck block...and trust this isnt my first turbo vehicle, so i do monitor as much as i possibly can with gauges and such..but to my knowledge they are pretty stout motors. pulls quite hard too. its my daily so it doesnt get abused like this very often, but if i need to pass somebody, as long as they arent making crazy power, i will. can somebody give me a rough estimate of how much power im making? unfortunately i havent been able to get it on a dyno just yet..in due time hopefully. just by driving it though i can tell you that the torque has got to be higher than the horse. but i could be wrong. thanks!

this thread honestly scared me once I read about all of the problems people have. I do not understand. I push my td04 and run my car hard daily as it is my dd and I like to drive fast.
Mileage since installed: 25,xxx Type Engine and Internals: forged internals valve terrain: stock 2.0 heads Head Gasket Choice: Not sure on brand, i know it is thicker. Tune: by steve at psi, pushing my injectors at 14psi Current Status: great. pulls hard. My engine has always been a little noisy on the passenger side. Still running the td04 however I am putting a vf39 on it to help with back pressure. |

Made it to 30000 and now all cylinders miss fire. I think it's the ecu not the engine. Passes compression

I remember this thread! My engine has about 40k on it when i pulled it out last week to swap the crank after the pulley bolt came loose and chewed it up, plus it also has a clutch issue. Tuned by me, built by me and no messing with the combustion chamber. 2 pistons were wiped with a rag and the other 2 werent. Zero signs of detonation, bearings were good and the heads are good. Also makes somewhere around 380whp

So maxwell, I thought the hybrid pistons took care of this problem? I'm looking to do a Hybrid at the moment, already bought some parts. Need to buy gasket kit, timing belt and the JE pistons. CNC is not an option at this moment! Last edited by JMlegacy; 07-27-2017 at 06:28 PM. |

I know that the ej205 and ej257 blocks are the same. If I do a hyrbid build, will the bolt on mods from my 2.0L bolt right on to the 2.5L block?

Ej205s and Ej257s motors are NOT the same... one is a 2.0L and the other is a 2.5... but most modifications are interchangeable

Just something I feel I am noticing, most people here went with stock short blocks. If they had someone else do the work, it costs quite a bit of money to do this swap and build. So my .02 cents is that if you are thinking to drop a 2.5 block in, make sure to build it and do the heads from what I am reading. Reason I say that is the power output I'm seeing for all this money (250-300whp) is depressing for all the money that goes into that install. As well, a large number seems to be blowing their motors so in the end it costs double
