RalliSpec EJ25 Short Block S3 (950bhp) - Race Spec Std

RELY ON RALLISPEC'S 25 YEARS OF SUBARU ENGINE BUILDING EXPERIENCE

For those of you ready to really turn up the heat, we offer our Race Spec series of closed deck short blocks.  These short blocks feature 14mm head stud machining and are optionally machined to accept Fire Lock head gaskets for serious combustion pressure sealing capabilities.  Connecting rods are a 4340 tri-beam design with high strength ARP L19 rod bolts (or optional ARP Custom Age 625+ bolts) to support big power levels. 

We start by closed decking the EJ25 block case to increase the strength and rigidity at the top of the cylinder where extreme cylinder pressures are working to distort the bore.  We utilize our new IRP pistons, the optimal 2618 piston to provide both incredible power capability and high wear resistance.  IRP piston forgings utilize the highest quality advanced 2618/A1 alloy which are fully machined on advanced CNC machining centers under tight environmental controls.  Grain structure, piston dimensions, and shape are all precisely controlled so that piston expansion can be carefully regulated.   The crown and ring land areas are hard anodized to provide an exceptionally wear resistant surface while also controlling heat transfer.  A double bridged forging design and slipper skirt ensures incredible rigidity while keeping mass to a minimum making it superior for performance and reliability under extreme conditions.  At the same time these features add up to a piston that can be run very tight in the bore for low noise and optimal ring seal while keeping wear rates low for near-OEM type longevity in a street driven application.  No other piston comes even close.  Note that our Race Spec series is built with a bit larger piston clearance than our Street Spec Pro in order to accommodate more extreme operating conditions.

Every short block is assembled by our master engine technician with 25 years of Subaru performance engine building experience in our dedicated engine room to exacting specifications.  All relevant engine specifications are logged and a detailed blueprint sheet is provided.

Built to order w/ typically a 2 week lead time.

Covered by a 1 year limited warranty.
