IAG 950 Closed Deck Long Block Engine w/ IAG 950 Heads, 2002-2005 WRX

The IAG Performance Hand-Built Subaru EJ25 Closed Deck Long Block Engine Packages are a complete, valve cover to valve cover, crate engine. These engines offer significant ease of installation for customers seeking a complete "drop-in" engine package for their WRX, STI, Forester XT or Legacy GT. The Long Blocks feature a combination of our proven IAG Performance 950 Closed Deck Short Block and IAG 950 Cylinder Head packages, along with other race-proven components to complete the assembly. When paired with our Long Block Installation Packages, you have a true plug-and-play solution to get you back on the road, FAST! All components included are BRAND NEW and there is NEVER A CORE CHARGE required.
The IAG 950 package is ideal for clients looking for an engine package to support up to 950 BHP applications. The IAG 950 Long Block features our IAG 950 Closed Deck Short Block that utilizes a brand new EJ20 or EJ25 Subaru case that is converted to closed deck and is bored and honed to 92.5 or 99.75mm. The IAG 950 block features 14mm head stud machining, as well as our Fire-Lock 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 combination of the alloy compression shims and gaskets assure maximum sealing for a Subaru EJ20 or EJ25 turbocharged engine. The IAG 950 internals include IAG-Spec JE FSR 2618 forged pistons, .250" / .906" H13 pins, IAG-Spec Tuff H-Beam +2mm connecting rods with ARP 625+ rods bolts and an OEM STI crankshaft. The block is then paired up with our IAG 950 Fully CNC Ported Cylinder Heads to deliver maximum flow for high horsepower applications. The heads start as brand new Subaru OEM cylinder head castings that are CNC machined and resurfaced. The heads are outfitted with GSC valve train components, consisting of +1mm oversized intake and SuperAlloy exhaust valves, IAG Beehive Springs, as well as GSC Billet Stage 2 camshafts and Kelford DLC coated buckets. To complete the package, we add an IAG / ARP 14mm head stud set and all the required gaskets for the final valve cover-to-valve cover assembly.
The IAG 950 Long Block Engines are available in two extra configurations to support 02-05 USDM WRX owners and International clients. Simply choose the EJ20 option for the 2.0L Closed Deck version of our 950 Short Block to be included in your long block. If you'd like an EJ25 2.5L Short Block to be used in your long block then choose the "Hybrid" option and your long block will be built with our EJ25 IAG 950 Short Block and Chamber Matched S20 2.0L EJ20 IAG 950 Cylinder heads.
The IAG 950 Short Block is the ultimate "weekend racer" block. Built to withstand up to 950 BHP, this is our strongest "Street" short block offering. The IAG 950 short block features +2mm IAG Spec H-Beam forged connecting rods, IAG-Spec JE Pistons with electroless nickel plated coating with H13 tool steel wrist pins, and our venerable "Fire-Lock" head gasket system for 14mm head studs. Each IAG 950 short block is hand assembled using ACL or King rod and main bearings. This combination of parts makes the IAG 950 the perfect block for drag or road racing.
The IAG 950 Short Block starts with brand new Subaru 2.5L engine case halves. Our machinists machine the assembled case halves in our Haas VF-4SS CNC mill to accept the IAG Closed Deck inserts, transforming the block into a solid deck. Next, a deck pair of deck plates are attached and the short block is bored and honed to 99.75mm in our in-house Sunnen SV-30 computer controlled cylinder hone. IAG's in-house honing process allows us to set custom piston to wall clearances to ensure quiet operation and reduced oil consumption. The Haas mill also cuts a groove at the top of each cylinder to accept the Fire-Lock head gasket rings and drills each head bolt hole for 14mm head studs. The modified case halves are then assembled using a ne
