4G63 = Best for max performance EJ257 = Best for daily driving due to having such great low end torque and a nice power band.

IMO mod for mod both cars will make the same power.
Being fastest and quickest is not the same as making the same power. The fastest EVOs are 5-speed and most of them are RS, people here are comparing a light weight EVO vs a heavy pig 6-speed STi. A properly tuned EJ255/57 and well setup, will make about the same peak power and obviously more torque than the 4G63, mod for mod. The problem arises when we go to big turbos that require +30psi to get into the efficiency range, probably pushing 600whp+. At this point the aluminum cylinder cannot take the pressure, and the block start cracking and stuff failing. And also the big turbos required a high RPM that EJ255/57 cannot provide. Again IMO a properly well setup and tuned subaru motor will go toe to toe with 4G63 to 500-550whp with only forged pistons. And a properly setup WRX or STi with a built 5-speed will go toe to toe with an EVO. Thinking about it, the cost of a WRX with built 5-speed will run very close to the price of an EVO 5-speed. |

but the 4g63 is 2.0 25% smaller and it perform a little better to bolt ons then ej257. So no i dont think there equal for 500hp or less. I see alot of 4g63s in stock format live just as long or OUTLIVE a forged piston ej257. Actually I take that back, a forged piston ej257 if built by cosworth or crawford will definatly outlive a stock 4g63. (6 bolt)I also noticed alot of kids put together there 4g63 in there driveways with cheap forged parts (eagle, wiseco) cheap in price not quality. And they dont machine half the stuff, they run those engine for 50000 Miles lean with full boost 90% of its life. So 4g63 are much more forgiving to clearances and and parts that arnt PERFECTLY square. A ej257 will only perform flawless if it flawlessly built. Whoever has been to the drags has seen evo and talons pullin 10's all night long. With a 18 year old driver and 3k in mods. But it still doesnt have style like us boxser ftw

^these 2 comments are why I believe so strongly in the destroked 2.34L EJ25's.

I think it is also important to remember that we cannot confuse engine design with engine modification ability. The 4G63 has a superior head design and the intake runners in the head make huge power. The bore stroke ratio is also very square which also lends itself to big power. It is almost like Mitsubishi designed the engine to make huge high end power in the first place.

Yeah, no. Two words: volumetric efficiency. You probably should understand how VE works before making statements like this. After owning a 4G63 and an EJ25x, there is absolutely no comparison. None. The 4G63 wins. |

I am putting together a destroked 2.35 for my car as we speak. Im hoping it can offer more reliable bearing life. Since it helps to unload the side forces however the 9000rpm kinda cancels that out. I think to fully take advantage of the Long rod destroke we need a min of 4mm long rods and a higher comp ratio since it helps reduce det. I know a guy whos running a 4g63 long rod with 10:1 pistons. at 20psi, but yea he runs alcohol injection. Im hoping I can run 10:1 comp with long rods and e85 |

Custom rods and custom pistons, Im talking to a friend about aluminum rods, I dont think its worth the effort, but if he can fo it for under 600$ ill do it. And the new aluminum alloy is not stretching like the old days...I guess old habbits are hard to forget.

Are you just going to do a +2mm rod or something else with a thicker head gasket?

2mm is all I can afford.
I love my subaru and would not have anything else but look at the 4g63 Ej257 is great cause more torque off the line. Ej207 is great cause its smooth up top 4g63 can make more power in 1 cylinder then ej257 does in foour lol that video is crazy Sorry for the hijack Theres a guy who pushing 2000hp in his 4g63 dragster. |

It is not the displacement that allows higher boost or more top end. The rod to stroke on the EJ motors are not that bad, just as square as some Honda engines. Its the VE of the head and the cams in them.

^The fact that the power curve is pushed to the right allowing the 2.34 EJ motor to make more peak power longer is what I like.

I completely agree. I own both a 2.5L WRX and 2- 4G63 platforms. No comparison. 4G63 takes mods much better and are they are cheaper. The MIVEC platform especially begs for cams and from a tuning aspect they love bumped timing. I find it funny people are saying "mod for mod they would be equal" but every time I see dyno charts from an event there are only a handful Subaru's breaking 300awhp. When you look at anyone who broke 300, they are mostly Evo's.

Everybody is comparing the 257 to the 4g63. I'm more curious to see how the 207 compares. On youtube with the japanese race videos where they compare stock cars around a track the Spec C has its way with the evo. I'm planning a 207 swap withen in the next 6 months but am hoping i will be able to turn my bugeye into a fullblown track monster. I am curious to the true power the 207 is capable of with some good gas and a good tuning.

Lets talk about the aluminum vs iron block debate, how about that? Perhaps we should mention that the 4G63 doesnt have to be run pig rich to keep cylinder temps down, because its not laid on it side? Can we talk about cylinder head and cam design, and how the 4G63 is superior? Perhaps we should discuss transient response, and how the 4G63 and its turbo dont reside in different zip codes? Of course I realize theres more to VE, but VE is one of the major players. Everything else after that is icing... |
