No built motor for me(till I do it my self.)
Talked with SickSubi on AIM. Since the time and effort isn't worth the ripping this thing apart to do it back all again later just to put it back the why I would receive it I"ll be sticking with the "stock" form. thanks to all that chimed in. Helpful or not.

Having had them out of the engine and in my hands, the comparison between both stock and STi rods I can guarantee the SVX rods are inferior both in material and construction. No trying to start a fight but it is time people started learning the facts and not suggestions Tom |

Do you know Ron? Aka NeedforSpeed? well he was probably the first to work on both SVX and STi internals. I had a conversation with him 2 years ago concerning this issue, and he and another HIGHLY REPUTED MEMBER of this board both assured me that the SVX's are better than the STi's. But if New researches proved otherwise, then this could be our next debatable thread... And don't be too sure that I have never seen the EG33's internals

I must ask then, why are the 2.5's running the rods they are? Why not use EG33 rods with their high HP engines?? They are one and the same so why would Subaru go through the ropes of making new yet inferior rods? That question alone should answer any confusion. I know Ron and he is very knowledgable about these engines but to say that the STi rods with their better rod bolts and alignment dowels are better than the very standard EG33 bolts w/o dowels.
