Designed for high-performance and track use, this hand-assembled block features an IAG Spec billet 75mm crankshaft, custom +2mm Tri-beam forged connecting rods with ARP 625+ rod bolts, and JE 99.75mm FSR 2618 custom pistons treated with electroless nickel-plating for detonation resistance and heat reflection. Combined with race bearings, forged rods, and a billet crank, this short block provides a rock-solid foundation for large turbochargers and high-RPM racing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"802\" data-start=\"180\"\u003eThe shorter stroke reduces piston speeds, optimizing the rod-to-stroke ratio and increasing piston dwell time at top dead center. This improves combustion efficiency, reduces stress on engine components, extends ring life, and allows for higher revs—recommended up to 9,000 RPM—making it ideal for track, road racing, and competition drag use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1194\" data-start=\"804\"\u003eThe block starts with new Subaru 2.5L case halves, machined to accept IAG Closed Deck Inserts that reinforce the cylinder walls while maintaining coolant flow. O-ring receiver grooves and 14mm head bolt holes are machined to improve head gasket sealing. The assembly includes the billet crankshaft, Tri-beam rods, ARP bolts, JE FSR pistons, and ACL rod and main bearings. All blocks are blueprinted, balanced, and sealed with new ARP bolts and sealant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2009\" data-start=\"1689\"\u003eThe closed deck system supports cylinder walls at the top of the block, preventing flex and cracking. Inserts are pressed, machined to a mirror finish, and paired with case bolt reinforcement plugs for added durability. Coolant flow remains unaffected, ensuring safe operation for street or track use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2351\" data-start=\"2011\"\u003eJE 2618 T6 Alloy 99.75mm FSR pistons feature thicker ringlands, electroless nickel plating, and .240\" H13 tool steel wrist pins for maximum strength and reliability under boost and high-RPM conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2351\" data-start=\"2011\"\u003eIAG’s proprietary Fire-Lock™ system separates combustion chamber sealing from fluid sealing, with machined cylinder lips for the Fire-Lock™ rings. This design ensures superior head gasket sealing under extreme pressure, eliminating a common failure point in high-power EJ25 engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2825\" data-start=\"2582\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Halves -\u003c\/strong\u003eBrand new Subaru OEM case halves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePinned Mains -\u003c\/strong\u003eMachine case for 9.5mm pinned mains and lined honed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFire-Lock -\u003c\/strong\u003eIAG Fire-Lock™ receiver groove machining, latest solution to prevent head gasket failure on high horsepower and high boost Subaru's - *IAG Fire-Lock™ head gaskets required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Studs -\u003c\/strong\u003eMachined for 14mm Head Studs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePistons -\u003c\/strong\u003eJE 99.75mm FSR 2618 Custom Pistons and .240\" H13 Tool Steel Wrist Pins with JE Pro Seal Ring Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnecting Rods -\u003c\/strong\u003eCustom IAG Spec +2mm Tri-Beam Forged Connecting Rods with ARP 625+ Rod Bolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod \/ Main Bearings -\u003c\/strong\u003eACL Race Bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrank -\u003c\/strong\u003eIAG Spec Billet 75mm Crankshaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase \/ Main Bolts -\u003c\/strong\u003eARP Case Bolts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"s-1311cbdc-3630-41f1-9d43-d3d0095785c6\" class=\"shg-c\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shg-row\" data-col-grid-mode-on=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shg-c-lg-6 shg-c-md-6 shg-c-sm-6 shg-c-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"s-6133b0c3-05cf-46dd-9f11-7faa31361742\" class=\"shg-c shg-align-center\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shogun-heading-component\" data-animations='[{\"event\":\"enterviewport\",\"name\":\"fadeInLeft\",\"delay\":\"\",\"duration\":\"\",\"iterationCount\":\"\",\"shouldBeTriggeredOnce\":false}]'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shogun-heading-component\" data-animations='[{\"event\":\"enterviewport\",\"name\":\"fadeInLeft\",\"delay\":\"\",\"duration\":\"\",\"iterationCount\":\"\",\"shouldBeTriggeredOnce\":false}]'\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shogun-heading-component\" data-animations='[{\"event\":\"enterviewport\",\"name\":\"fadeInLeft\",\"delay\":\"\",\"duration\":\"\",\"iterationCount\":\"\",\"shouldBeTriggeredOnce\":false}]'\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHead Gasket Required:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/subimods.com\/products\/iag-performance-fire-lock-head-gaskets-1-pair-w-fire-lock-rings-for-subaru-ej25-ej257-100mm-051-for-14mm-head-studs\"\u003eIAG Fire-Lock .051\" Head Gaskets with IAG-Spec Alloy Ring Set\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompression Ratio: All calculated with fire-lock gaskets\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9.2:1 on D Cylinder Heads (EJ255)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8.8:1 on B, V, and W EJ257 Heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ogInIZNmKo8?si=NxqJ7KrthN1UP0Fc\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"IAG Performance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51766137454914,"sku":"IAG-ENG-S113","price":10499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/9294\/3170\/files\/iag-performance-1150-series-destroked-235l-ej25-short-block-2006-2014-wrx-2004-2021-sti-2004-2013-forester-xt-2005-2009-legacy-gt-iag-eng-s113-765653.jpg?v=1767562905","url":"https:\/\/autospecdesign.com\/products\/iag-performance-1150-series-destroked-2-35l-ej25-short-block-2006-2014-wrx-2004-2021-sti-2004-2013-forester-xt-2005-2009-legacy-gt","provider":"AutoSpec Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
