    Check out the new S&R Performance Reinforced Subaru Short Block!

    We're working hard to come up with a new block support design that will help fill that gap of available options for those looking to make more power than the semi open deck can typically take but not go through the hassle, expense and risk of a sleeved block.


    Our in house CNC Machine ensures production level consistency that is unmatched in the industry. The quality will satisfy the needs of the most demanding tuners and racers. Here is a quick video teaser of the process. The short block is an EJ205 out of a WRX that we are using as a guinea pig.

    Here are some of the pics of the block after the initial machining process. You can see where we have machined a stepped grove to accommodate a set of custom made Block Supports. Enjoy the pics and be sure to follow us on Facebook for more updates!













    The supports are almost done and we will have new updates very soon! Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you may have.


    Thanks for your time, guys and gals!

    We've got one done and we're building one for our 08 STi so we can throw some serious abuse at this thing to see where we're at. =)


    So we just pulled our our test block and did the first round of fitment and install test and throw her in for resurfacing.














    remember, this is all testing. We're trying this out to see how well it works. No one is claiming that it's a replacement to Sleeving a block but it could be another option that will cost less and should hold up well. We'll be putting our money where I mouth is with putting this into a STi that will be runs over 30psi. Our R&D will show us what this will do and we will handle, market and sell them accordingly as we work with it.


    For now, we're excited about the process and we're really looking forward to the testing.

    We haven't set final pricing but we're wrapping up on yet another one with people that were interested in trying it out. So far it's been awesome and since we do everything in house, we can really work to keep costs as low as possible.
