Hi all I have a 2002 Subaru Impreza wagon which I’ve been Using as a project car just got everything finished it has Sti turbo 1000cc injectors rads and everything updated got it pushing about 350hp and 500nm of torque but had it on the Dyno and the rods went is it worth replacing them? Or just scrapping it and how much would a repair job for the rods even be?

In what way did the rods "go"?

Cheapest fix would be throwing a standard replacement engine in.

Bad news . All that work an you didn’t refresh the one major failing point on an ej20 the chocolate bottom end !

Engines scrap if it’s thrown a rod . Probably doomed the head as well as pistons can oval it . Injectors should be ok tho
