The Race Spec series short blocks are designed and built for the demands of motorsport. The foundation of the Race Spec short block is a new EJ257 block case machined and fitted with closed deck inserts to reinforce the cylinders. We fit either a factory salt bath nitiride hardened crankshaft, OEM Forged crankshaft, or ARROW Billet crankshaft. Connecting rods are 4340 tri-beam, or our 300M alloy tri-beam pro series rods. We use IRP piston with thick-wall heavy duty piston pins. The crankshaft spins in low friction ACL tri-metal bearings while connecting rods are fitted with a Calico-coated ACl for maximum durability at extreme power outputs.
Every block is assembled by our highly experienced engine technician with 20 years of Subaru motorsport engine experience. Assembly is done in our dedicated engine building room. We use highly accurate and calibrated equipment such as Mitutoyo digital micrometers, Sunnen 0.0001" reading dial bore gauges and setting fixtures, Ohaus digital scale with 1/100 of a gram accuracy, and Snap-on digital torque wrenches. Every measurement is logged and a detailed build spec sheet is supplied with each engine for your reference.
