I'm thinking about trading my stock wrx for a wrx hybrid setup and i would like anyone's opinion on the hybrid as i don't know to much about them...
Setup (from what i know) Block-ej25 heads-ej20 heads (don't know if it has had chamber work done) Tune- (custom by a local tuning shop,300hp?) Injectors- yellow 550cc Turbo-vf39 (18psi peak) This is all just what the guy has told me Motor has 80,XXX on it and still running good... what are peoples thoughts? if i were to get this car i would put alot of highway miles on it but still have fun with it, i drive 100 miles a day to and from work

why? Just build it right the first time and not worry about it. Match the chambers to the STi chambers and you have no reason to ever come to this lame thread again. I mean seriously, this thread should be titled: OMG how many have had blown up hybrid builds? Because otherwise, what's the point? A properly built hybrid setup will be just as reliable as any other properly done build. This thread should disappear. |

None of my motors have blown, but it would be nice to know how many people have had issues with the stock chambers. |

Who are you? Why are you so freaked out? There are thousands of people who would think that with my support of this community I don't deserve such treatment. Why don't you provide some actual valid counter point as to the purpose of this thread instead of personal attacks? Don't worry, though, after you and I have figured this out, I will unsubscribe to this thread that you apparently love so much. Even though it really is pointless now that good engine builders have the right recipe for an awesome hybrid build with longevity. If I am not mistaken the original intent of this thread was to help the OP determine if a hybrid build was reliable by getting peoples results. Well the thread is eons old, the questions have been answered and there is no longer any mystery. So continuing this thread with mileage updates is just a waste of cyber space. And yes there is a class. |

I still hope your arrogance puts you out of business like the other douches that came before you. Basically because you build engines and you say it's good, then its good. I know you think people crave your expert opinion but we don't. You obviously have enough time to look into petty things like this so you must not be making any money right now. I'm not buying anything from you so why would i give 2 *****s what you think? And stop acting like a martyr guy. You said something out of line and i came back with something out of line. Thats what we do in a pissing contest. When i had a stupid question for your competition they answered it and now homemadewrx and those guys have my money on the next build. I know if the roles were reversed i probably wouldn't answer nicely but i don't have to because i don't rely on their funds to operate. That's the difference between a good business and some guys in a garage. Last edited by Purpose_Built; 03-24-2012 at 03:05 PM. Reason: i just realized what the d-bag said |

I don't understand anything you are saying. Is English your second language or are you just that fired up that you can't type one thought at a time? Yes I am the pioneer of the destroker. HomemadeWRX and I used to live together and it was my idea that the two of us worked out years and years ago. Yes, people do value my opinion. Mostly because it is based on actual research, intellegent decisions, real education and experience. I tell it like it is and I don't sell people crap they don't need. You are making personal attack after personal attack and I have done nothing of the sort. You call it feminine, I call it mature. Grow up, kid. Are you really that jealous of unimportant me? My custom, self built shop (that I built with my own hands and designed with my own brain) has 18 cars in it, over 20 engine builds in progress and tunes are booked two weeks in advance. |

You came into this thread and called it stupid right? I still hope your arrogance puts you out of business.
The point i am trying to make is, I didn't ask for your opinion. You don't see any of the other sponsors in spouting nonsense do you? You keep trying to give me your expert opinion. You may matter to someone just not to me. You are running around screaming,"I'm imortant, you hurt my fellings but i matter to so many people and you shouldn't treat me like this." Thats very feminine. The other guys are ok but i don't know wtf happened to you. You have an 18 car garage or you have 18 cars on the property that your 4 car garage sits on. You can see how that may be a bit confusing to someone reading this. That would be you implying that you are a huge monolith of a company. That would put you up there with Crawford, Cobb, AMS, HPF or one of the other heavy weights. Are you a heavy weight (i'm shaking my head no). Since you are so big you must have like 2 demo cars to showcase all of these custom parts you make? Your opinion does not matter to me and you keep trying to convince me that it does. You win MPS. If we really have a problem or if would like to talk about your feelings any more my number is 931-338-5016. I'll even have my girl show you how to install your tampon. Now i'm wondering if this is Domonic or Craig? Last edited by Purpose_Built; 03-24-2012 at 04:53 PM. |

any of you hybrid building gurus out there im in need of some advice. My motor started as a Rallispec EJ20 sti engine from over seas. It was swapped with a usdm STI block and 05 wrx heads. Im pulling the engine to do the clutch next week hopefully and im compiling some parts together now for everything i need while i have the motor out like mounts seals and im going to do the timing belt and pulleys too. Now i know the newer gen 257 motors have a different pulley setup than the old ej25s and if im not mistaken the ej20 is similar. So knowing what setup i have if any build pros can help me out with parts i would really be thankful. I have put together some part numbers for what i thought would be correct for the type of belt and pulleys i need.
idler - 13073AA230 Cogged roller - 13085AA080 2x Smooth roller - 13073AA142 Tensioner - 13033AA042 (Should be all the same?) Timing belt - ? |

I'm not a pro but i can tell you that if you dont have avcs to get the ej20 wrx gasket set and ej257 head gasket. The gaskets on the heads are usually what separates the cars. The timing components are the same on the dohc ej205/257blocks. The shapes are different but its the same. The 257 block also has an extra case vent. Hope that helps.

We both gave our opinions of the thread. According to you, mine doesn't matter. Also according to you, I'm all sorts of nasty things and deserve to not have a successful business because of it. So you also kindly added your opinion of me. Which I might add is obviously based on nothing as you asked a ton of questions about my shop and I. My shop holds 13 cars. It is on the largest street in Marysville with plenty of exposure. It is also over 5k square feet which is actually 500 MORE square feet than Crawford. Crawford has 5 employees, I only have 4 (it fluctuates form 3-5 depending on the season). Crawford started with as few as I, or so he told me when we chatted for quite some time in Las Vegas at SEMA. I'm not trying to convince you of my opinion. I merely stated that the thread had met it's purpose over a year ago and should therefor just disappear. You, for some reason, flipped out like a child only justifying the thread should continue because "people like it". I know, right? I don't know what battle you are speaking of. First off, I started tuning Subarus in Hawaii, then promptly moved to the east coast where I tuned more. I make yearly trips to New York and Virginia. I never brought coast up for a second. I'm not some East Side/west side ganster or something... I am a military veteran of twelve years who started a business while he was in and carried it through after getting out. As you can see I'm not going to resort to childish e-thugging no matter how hard you try. I am also now going to unsubscribe from this thread. If you have other things to say, please be sure to PM me so I know to come back to this thread. I get way too many alerts in my inbox everyday and thinning them out is welcome. Thus why I was surprised to see this pop up again and partially why I encouraged people to drop it. Lastly I want to remind you that your advice goes both ways. You told me to turn my head and shut the f up if I didn't like something, yet you so boldly did not do so AND you took it to the next level with pointless insults. Before you go spouting off crap on the internet and insulting people, maybe you should spend some time evaluating the person in the mirror. Regards, Dominic (to answer your last question) |

You step on someones toes and now you want to cry veteran. I thought it was just a myth, i didn't think people did that honestly. I have a little over ten years in but that has nothing to do with me calling you feminine. My girl has shrapnel in her wrist and knee but you would never know unless you asked her what it was and then she might just tell you the story behind it.
People can read and these two quotes sound nothing alike. Don't switch up the text. "I merely stated that the thread had met it's purpose over a year ago and should therefor just disappear. You, for some reason, flipped out like a child only justifying the thread should continue because "people like it". "why? Just build it right the first time and not worry about it.

Because otherwise, what's the point? A properly built hybrid setup will be just as reliable as any other properly done build. This thread should disappear. Compare the two quotes and tell me which one is appropriate for a business man and which is just some e-kunt running his mouth. I usually over respond but i do it on purpose. But i do find it funny that you think i should admire you for all you have done for this community. If I don't admire my house cleaner, walmart, or usps then why should i think you are important. Last time i checked you didn't build engines for free. You are only important if you are doing a service for me. If you go under there will be someone else to do it for me. Stay on your toes because when you do go under i'll get to laugh at you. Please fix your page because it looks like trash and bored me half to death.

I hope to one of the other gazillion shops that can build a good motor and can treat you like a potential customer. Really can't knock the guys work at all but there are others who can do the job and not gloat about how important they are to you.

I'm glad I ran into this thread, that's exactly what I wanted to know. I've seen a ton of people bitching about how the STI pistons are horrid and I was second guessing my choice to buy a 10103AC050 or 10103AC030 and go hybrid. I only want about 325 WHP so this is perfect.
