> I think they look awesome, but I wish they would change the powerplant. They’ve been using the EJ series motors for a longgg time, it’d be nice to see something different in there. If America wasn’t such a stickler on displacement, it’d be nice to see the STi’ with the EJ22 motors. Strongest 4cyl EJ series motor thanks to the fully closed deck. The STi EJ257 is either semi-closed or open.

The EJ22t is a better block for a sleeved/high HP build, but the version 7 EJ207 (factory forged pistons) or a newer ej207 with some forged pistons can make 400-500whp all day, rev to 8500+, and take a lot more abuse than the ej257s do. I don’t understand why subaru never brought the ej207 to america.
