That and in most cases they are twinscroll. Response for days!

Ej257 is more peppy n faster responding. As u can tell, the 207 lacks low end torque massively. That’s what the 257 makes up for, u can’t drive fast like how u can in a ej 257

@@cockus123 That's actually not y True. The twinscroll turbo equipped one version 8 and up are way more responsive stock for stock. And in special versions like the spec C and I think S203 they make just as much torque as HP

A haunter I lowkey wanna see your car I see you every were in subie videos here is my insta suzie_wrx

@@popemobile12 only v8 & 9 are twinscroll, the v7 is the ONLY VERSION that has forged internals and can take a beating but its single scroll.

It's a sign Mike! ;o)

I just swapped my RS with a full JDM ‘05 STI- EJ207, 6 Speed DCCD Trans, Brembos. I’m uploading the whole process on my channel to help those that want to do the same or similar swap 😄🤙🏾

They work like shit though😂

presteronetj I def need closer gears

@@Damn_G id suggest a 4.11 from the jdm legacy. They were put in the twin turbo version in japan. Its a stout little trans and is so smooth at lower rpm where the 3.9 causes bogging, the 4.11 just wants to go. I threw one in my bugeye a while back and it was one if the best things i could have done. the trans is rare but very worth it if you can find one. When i got the trans we took it apart to compare the gears to the 6 speed you get from the sti's, and the gears, all the way up to 5th are just about the same thickness, maybe alittle less but it wouldnt be noticable. My bug made 300 at the wheels and could do digs all day with that trans it was great.

@@Bahaa425 the fxt 5 speeds are 4.44, and the s-turbo and GT foresters are 4.11, and you han fit a gc8 type R center diff in them. Thats what ive done go mine. 65-35 front rear tourqe split, so alot better balanced out of tight corners. Its also got a 7500 redline, hotter heads and a td05-16g twinscroll convertion, around 290whp with boost from 2600rpm *giggle*. (Its a edm ej205) :)

2005-2007 usdm legacy gt has basically group N gearing and 4.11 gearing, just needs a speed sensor put it and your ready to rock

Oh Yes...Did a 4.44 swap on my 1995 JDM Legacy with the EJ20H (Twin Turbo) So easy to drive around town and it pulls hard in the twisty roads. Open road / Highway driving is a bit of sore spot...100kph/62Mph is 2900 rpm in 5th. Fuel economy isn't the best :( But much more fun to drive than my 2011 Spec C JDM Legacy Ej255 with 4.11 6speed manual. Subi Life!

Desertsage_96brighton I love your car Gabe, that color is so sick 😍 I just swapped my RS with a full JDM ‘05 STI- EJ207, 6 Speed DCCD Trans, Brembos. I’m uploading the whole process on my channel to help those that want to do the same or similar swap 😄🤙🏾 do you have a Instagram ?

Robrsti that’s awesome man. Can’t wait to get my 6 speed in a couple months. Yeah! @desertsage_96brighton. What is yours?

Desertsage_96brighton thanks! I just followed you, mines @robrsti. You’ll enjoy the six speed once it’s on 😄

after seeing your comment i couldnt help but ask if the colour of your car is millennium jade because that colour suits your car so nicely. but im a masive fan of the gc8 considering i was taught to drive on one with the 207 sti swap. great car m8.

liam harris thank you! Much appreciated. The color is desert sage metallic from Lexus is350. Very similar to millennium jade. I was thinking of changing to millennium jade when I respray because it’s less green and has hints of greyish in it.

awesome GC's 👍👍

@@Robrsti hell yea!

How has the engine held up? And how was the swap? I am thinking of getting a v6 STI engine for my GC8 but the JDM difficulties seem intimidating.

Look up I wire st swap isn't that expensive

Call iwire

I have an 11 sti with a ver10 ej207 swap and I'm always shifting too lol

8605 SB a truly built Subaru won’t have the rumble since it would be running EL headers

I know what I heard. Can’t say it was fully tuned

@@sleeper.simulant7327 thats presumptious .. i have a 2.1 closed deck fully forged stroker sti type r cappable of 500hp with unequals still .. people commonly change them but doesnt mean you have to

Scum Tastic yeah 500 whp with a narrow power band. Run EL’s with a twin scroll setup against a UEL setup both at 500 whp and see which one pulls away, EL/twin scroll has a FAR broader power band and will actually spool before 4000 rpm, it will pull away steadily... UEL’s are the ultimate ricer setup on a Subaru. EL’s are far better performance wise.

Im not saying its the way everyone does it .. im just saying you can still make power with an unequal length header tis all .. didnt mention single scroll twin scroll or spool times coz thats just a long and different convo lol

Exactly. One thing people need to remember , these cars were designed for high octane i.e. 105 octane. You can tune them with less timing but that means more knocking less power etc.

If I ever plan a trip in the area, I will hit you up!

no torque

v7 207 is the best

What mike said .... v7 is the best period. Coming from a long standing subaru owner from New Zealand

Well, you'll be swapping either as no GC8 (technically GM6) was offered with none of these engines in North America. Stock per stock the EJ207 is better. Better flowing heads, more aggressive cams, forged internals (EJ257 has cast pistons), twin scroll turbo, revs up to 8200 rpm from factory and can hit almost 400 hp with just the proper supporting mods while still being reliable. If you're worried of wear and tear because the 207 is older, hence the rebuild, I think it's the same case with the 257... both are old engines so it all depends on the unit you end up picking up and the life the motor has seen. At the end of the day, I think it's a matter of availability (257 much easier to source) and preferences/goals (257 is torquey vs. 207 rev-happy). If we start speaking building motors... there's a ton of possibilities with both. Cheers!

@@tofufregit Only Version 7 Ej207's come with forged pistons. Version 8 and up come with Hypercast (Not sure about Spec C and other variants though). Other than that, you're spot on

If im not mistaken, the V8 and V9

bingoberra18 2.3 all day (23b sti)

@@enriquealvarez4702 thanks, but you need longer rods than any oem ej engine uses right?

From what i gather you need 134mm rods with 75 mm crank with customs pistons your choice of compression. Check out Maxwell Power on the forums

@@enriquealvarez4702 awesome, thanks!

@zeroyon223 Great info, yeah I have a 207 with avcs in parts so maybe just buy new rings for it. Its the easier way to do it at least. What I dont understand is Subarus seem to generally have lower CR than most other engines? And they seem to have a lower power before boost? Is there a reason or were subaru just conservative with CR for knocking reasons?

What happend? Why did it blow up? What was the condition of the engine when you swapped it? How much power where you pushing through it? Who tuned it? So many questions that can lead to an answer as to why you blew up your engine. The ej207 is the most robust engine from factory that can with stand upto 500hp on stock internals. This makes me think there was an issue with your build or probably had issues before you even bought the block.

good luck with that. you need to use weight transfer to get them to turn in, simply stomping the throttle as you turn in will put you in the trees.

this road is in SJ but i do drive redwood often. not as much anymore since its so bumpy

Lol.. you kids are quick to call every coupe you see a “GM6” When it clearly started as a Brighton coupe, which did not have the 2.5 that the “GM6” had. N0000b

@@WyattFunk96 I'm not kid.

Not a n00b too... One of the og from rs25.com here

technically you might be right, but guess what. no one googles gm6. and if you do google gm6 you dont see any 2door subies. now go google gc8.

Yup, kaizen makes those headlights. You can also check out circuitdemon for custom gc headlights

@Joey Lee Those look like 240z universal fender flares. I think they mention them in the video, but I'm not positive. You can also look at body kit online store plus racingproductgroup for wrc/22b widebody kits

no shit!

Bsol24 I’ve spent 50k on my engine, 3 builds .. sickening

JDM specced.

We don't have 93 octane and want cars to last. Japans emissions laws makes you replace engines every so many years or miles so there building higher compression motors for them and lower compression bigger displament lil higher torque

the 205 is a lot cheaper...

@@clayton8or k thanks bro....

Ricky Chiz Bizkit the 207 never came in the states for 1. 207 is sti specifically. Just like. 257 is a Sti specific. Both great engines, but both only used in their market’s sti.

@@Damn_G 207 came in the WRX and the STi.

Kaffarov only in sti’s brah

Most people in the USA dont know what a gm6 is. Only chassis code nazis do.
