The Subaru EJ257: The Engine Forums Say is "Unreliable" That Rally Teams Trusted With Their Lives

The Subaru EJ257 didn't satisfiy internet forums. It satisfied rally teams — at full throttle, over blind crests, through gravel and mud where failure meant more than a tow truck. In this video, we break down why the most hated turbo engine on the internet became one of the most trusted in motorsport. We dig into the boxer architecture, the cooling challenges, the semi-open deck debate, and the real reason so many street EJ257s failed — while competition builds survived punishment most engines would never see. You'll learn how Subaru's horizontally opposed layout created both its greatest weakness and its greatest advantage, why rally teams solved problems in one stage that forum users never figured out in years of ownership, and what the EJ257's story teaches us about how we judge engines — and how we get it wrong. If you've ever owned an STI, blown a head gasket, defended a Subaru in a comment section, or just love engines with a story worth telling — this one's for you.
