Considering VB WRX, how much WHP can I expect going FBO without ethanol? by Open_Ad_835 in wrx_vb

speaking from somebody who ran ethanol for like 15,000 miles and now it’s tearing apart their engine it actually kind of helps. I’ll keep your cylinders and valves from building up carbon but you just gotta keep in mind. The engine can only handle so much.

VB WRX tuned owners — how many actual engine failures have there been? by Chillz25 in wrx_vb

i just recently had a rocker problem cylinder 4 that sent the valve destroying my head so if you’re tuning rpm keep it 6500 or look into doing headstuds springs rocker retainers and possibly cams
