Upgrade to the Type RA Short Block:

For Subaru enthusiasts seeking a new short block without the time-consuming process of rebuilding their current engine, the OEM Subaru STI Type RA Short Block is the perfect solution. This fully assembled short block comes equipped with OEM pistons, rods, bearings, and all the necessary main seals.

Facing a damaged engine due to rod knock or other issues can be a daunting and labor-intensive process. Rebuilding typically involves disassembling the motor, assessing the damage, sending the block to a machine shop for cleaning, decking, and hot-tanking to remove internal debris. Cylinder walls may require inspection or re-boring to accommodate new pistons. Then comes the meticulous re-assembly, which includes checking bearing clearances, piston ring gaps, installing all the seals, and more, often taking months depending on the complexity of the situation.

Enhanced Performance and Easy Installation:

The fully assembled short block significantly streamlines the process, as all the essential assembly and clearances have already been meticulously performed. This means the short block is ready for immediate installation, saving you precious time and effort.

The Type RA Short Block is the latest offering for EJ engines, boasting a forged crankshaft and stronger pistons. The pistons have slightly more weight and crowns that are 2mm thicker compared to conventional OEM STI short blocks. These enhancements allow the Type RA Short Block to handle higher power levels, making it an ideal choice for performance-minded Subaru owners.

The Type RA Short Block is available for those of you who want to upgrade the Subaru WRX/STI.
