Evo Or Sti?

[JET]

Yeah, you can get them undercoated. Ziebart does it along with others. Subaru's are known for blowing up 2nd gear. I have heard the Sti's is stronger, but I would check into it.

What kinda bolting procedure do they use on the Evo??? Like JET... you c-w'd a 6 bolt... What kinda shit do they throw at the Evo??

[JET]

The 6 bolt crankwalking was totally the rebuilder's fault. He didn't do the necessary steps. The EVO is a 7 bolt, but the bottom end is supposed to be more stout than a 2g. I don't think I would be worried about anything engine wise on the EVO, or the tranny for that matter.

yeah i was told the rods are 92.5+ sized, but i was told that AMS is making 525whp on their stock evo motor.

Please tell me you fellow's DSMers are not even having a debate over these 2 cars. EVO all the way, Subaru's can blow me.

Give an EVO a 2.5 liter and lets see how the standings sit.

And yes AMS is currently making 525 whp on their EVO w/ their new T3/t4 kit, not to shabby. Im sure it'll cost a pretty pennt, but you're not gonna get no 500+ hp Subaru for anything less than double that.

#1 I have no brand loyalty. I'm a consumer with a checkbook just like everyone else, and I refuse to limit myself to the options available from one brand. If the SRT-4 had AWD and cost 5k less than an evo, I would buy it. I don't care if someone says "it's still a neon", anyone who says that is a closed minded, block headed retard.

#2 I know better than to try and defend a Subaru on a DSM board. Especially when compared to an EVO.

#3 Right now, I don't think I'm going to buy either of these cars. At least not for a few years. I'll go buy a nice Lexus or BMW for my daily driver. :bs:

One thing I don't like is when people say "I heard this, about that car". Maybe it's true or maybe it's not. If it is true, try finding some info on it, before you post it. I could say that I heard the Mazda rotary in the RX8 sucks ass, but would anyone believe me? If I posted a link to an RX8 forum that had several members who had to take thier car back to the dealer within 2,500 miles to get a new motor, then you might believe me. So PLEASE!!!! If you're going to say something like "I heard that Subaru engines get blowed up", post a link, or give some real meaningful info. If they really do blow up easy, then I'm sure there's a forum out there with a guy telling everyone how he blowed up his scooby.

Thanks ;)

Heres a link to show the EVO block.

Full girdle stock, gotta love that! That should kill any worries about crankwalk due to misaligned crank bearings. I don't suppose the full girdle can be put into a 6 bolt? Anyone???

2G 7-bolt block has a 1 piece girdle also.
