Had a query when using a ej205 block with v3/v4 wrx ej20g heads is it better to use it with ej20k sti head gasket or with the ej205 headgasket. Trying to come to a conculsion because every one seems to suggest either.
thanks for your help and suggestion guys, we contemplated putting it back on the road or as a race car, but at this point we decided to write the car of to the towing company just so we can cover the towing charge and holding charge. thanks guys.
had a look at the car its in a real sad state they have taken everything in the interior right down to even the washer sprays. all the door cards. so only things left are a shell glass and interior carpet with the wiring in not to much of a bad state. they have also taken the vin and subaru tags as well. so dont know if the shell is of any use as well. so car is most likely to end up in a metal scrap.
Sorry gone as in missing they removed the engine and gearbox, police are still fingerprinting the car so might go aroun today or tomorrow and see if it is still worth keeping the car else might scrap the car. The car was found in south Auckland.
Well the good news is the car was found by the side of the road by the cops with the ignition barrel smashed, the bad news is the engine and gearbox is gone. Car was found yesterday after we called the cops to check if the had found anything.
yeah the owner just recently bought it from wireatap, just finished getting the car road legal with fresh rego and wof, finished a manual conversion on saturday. owner is really gutted after all the work that was done on the car.

thanks for that might get a tune for the run in stage.
another major query i had was bleeding the cooling system how do you guys bleed the cooling system in this case?
sorry first time i am going with such a build hence had these querys
cheers
thanks for the reply
my engine is pretty much stock except for the short block. i was originally running a td05h but blew the water seals on it when a hose popped and took out the headgasket as well. so i am gona be running the stock td04 turbo for the running in period. my only problem i faced was since i run a apexi gt spec intercooler i found the car running a bit rich due to the fact its still running a maf sensor and that was was only worry, do you guys reckon that would be ok for the running in period?
yea was thinking of running sae30 w oil for the running in and then switching over to a synthetic blend after the run in period. that does sound like a good idea of running it of waste gate pressure will do that just to be safe.
