IAG Subaru Blocks | Our most popular for Colorado

IAG Trojan EJ25IAG Trojan Subaru EJ25 Closed Deck Short Block

The IAG Trojan Short Block starts with brand new Subaru 2.5L engine case halves.

IAG machines the case halves assembled together in our Haas VF-4SS CNC mill to accept the IAG CLOSED Deck Inserts that transform the block into a solid deck.

The unique inserts feature small passages that allow needed coolant flow to the deck surface. The case halves are CNC machined with O-ring receiver grooves around the bore surface as well as drilled and tapped to accept 1/2" head studs that greatly reduce head gasket failure during high cylinder pressure scenarios.

Next, the short block is Deck Plate bored and honed to 99.75mm in our in-house Sunnen SV-30 the most advanced automotive cylinder hone available.

IAG‘s in-house honing process is able to set custom piston to wall clearances to best fit your needs.

The modified case halves are then assembled using a new 2017+ Subaru 2.5L nitride treated STI crankshaft that is matched to ACL or King race main bearings. IAG-Spec Tuff H-Beam connecting rods and ARP 625+ rod bolts are utilized along with ACL or King race rod bearings.

The case halves are sealed with new OEM main/case bolts and sealant. Finally, IAG-Spec 99.75mm JE FSR 2618 Forged Pistons and electroless nickel plated tops and ring area as well as upgraded .250" / .906" H13 wrist pins are added to finish the Trojan short block.

  • Additionally, all IAG-Spec piston skirts utilize the JE Perfect Skirt coating.

EJ25 closed deck Magnum short blockIAG Magnum Subaru EJ25 Closed Deck Short Block

The IAG Magnum Short Block starts with brand new Subaru 2.5L engine case halves.

IAG machines the case halves assembled together in our Haas VF-4SS CNC mill to accept the IAG CLOSED Deck Inserts that transform the block into a solid deck.

The unique inserts feature small passages that allow needed coolant flow to the deck surface. The case halves are then CNC machined for our new Fire-Lock head gasket solution that is loosely derived from diesel technology where a counterbore step is machined around each cylinder bore allowing specially sized fire rings to drop into the machined area and head gasket bores.

The Magnum case is then drilled and tapped to accept 14mm head studs that combined with the IAG Fire-Lock head gasket set greatly reduces head gasket failure during high cylinder pressure scenarios.

Next, the short block is Deck Plate bored and honed to 99.75mm in our in-house Sunnen SV-30 the most advanced automotive cylinder hone available. IAG‘s in-house honing process is able to set custom piston to wall clearances to best fit your needs.

The modified case halves are then assembled using a new 2017+ Subaru 2.5L nitride treated STI crankshaft that is matched to ACL or King race main bearings. IAG-Spec Tuff H-Beam +2mm connecting rods and ARP 625+ rod bolts are utilized along with ACL or King race rod bearings.

The case halves are sealed with new OEM main/case bolts and sealant (upgrading to ARP mains requires line honing). Finally, IAG-Spec 99.75mm JE FSR 2618 Forged Pistons with electroless nickel plated tops and ring area as well as upgraded .250" / .906" H13 wrist pins are added to finish the Magnum short block.
