    actually you are right, my guy recommended Pistons, valve springs, rods, engine gasket, and head studs. Cams if I wanted to.

    so should I get a 79mm forged crank 9.2:1 shortblock by cosworth? I am sort of confused.. Will building my current engine be more affordable or would buying a shortblock? I read further into the building up the heads, can you bullet point me everything I need to do to make the engine less...

    http://www.rallysportdirect.com/Cosworth-Short-Block-EJ25-79mm-Forged-Crank-9-2:1-CR-Subaru-STI-2004-2011 I was also thinking what if I just get a Cosworth short block, is it good to go? or do I still need to do things. Sorry I am a total newb.

    Alright what I am doing for the engine, im gonna do engine first because it is smarter: - strengthen the wall - balance it (what do I need for this?) - manley 8.5:11 pistons anything else?

    I guess I want to beef up the weak spots so it can handle upper 300 and low 400 awhp. I dont wanna go over that. My worst fear is driving the car and the engine literally exploding and chunks of my engine goes out the exhaust pipe.

    Car upgrades

    any exact products I should find online, I have a local guy who does only subarus and he quotes a grand to pull the engine and do everything, you just have to supply the parts

    I DD it sometimes and I usually drive it on the weekends. Id like power quickly but I have noticed once it gets past 80 its a little slower at the top I guess upper rev range because If I am driving spiritedly the revs will be high

    You are right, I actually have been working this in over time and I think I will go over with your recommendation. Ill work slower on the mods and such. so Should I get a 20g instead?
