we have good injectors, good spark plugs, good fuel rail, and good pulley system. I think overall design of the engine, not just the block and the head, is what makes the 4g63 a reliable and strong engine.
unlike that guy.

Do we have forge pistons? I know we have hallow cams.

The STi does not have forged pistons and while that isn't a problem, the pistons do appear to be the weak link in that motor. Also, I don't know if you've ever looked at the dimensions of an STi cylinder bore, but its like a honda from hell.....HUGE piston with a tiny amount of stroke. The ring langs also appear to be on the fragile side as well which is a bit scary considering that the EJ family of motors tend to be fairly knocky motors in comparison to a cast-iron, inline 4 design like the 4G63, SR20, 1.8T, etc.

dang...this guy looks like he's 9 months pregant on each arm.....looks like he's hiding 2 small children in there......you can almost make out the head and butt cheeks.....

i know most dont like the car or the owners, but the SRT-4 motor is nothing to take lightly. Fuel bigger turbo without even touching the motor, 550whp easy. someone did 601whp on the stock motor until the oil pump and something else gave out and then boom, took him about 3 days.
