2006 2.5 RS block
? year STI crank
H-beam rods
ACL race bearings

At 8:45 pm

At 9:05

At 9:46

I "think" this will be the motor going in the daily driver family wagon. I can either put forged pistons in, or stock STI, I have both. It will use 1997 EJ20R heads. Not sure about what intake manifold yet.

Turbo? Probably an Ebay T3/T4 I have sitting here for freeway fun....

Well, I haven't seen your flywheel or crank pully yet. So I can't say for sure anything is wrong. With all your expirements you just might have wanted that crank in there backwards.

Dam, did the crank just drop in backwards or was beer & a baby sledge-hammer involved?

That's some really funny shit. I have to confess I missed it on thr first pass through. Then I backed up and immediately saw what you had done.

Sounds like a fun build. Some day I might find the time. I just have to remember where I left it...
