Known Issues

Piston Ring Wear:

Potential for oil consumption and blow-by due to EJ207 ring design, especially if poorly maintained or driven hard.

Head Gasket Leaks:

While less common on the EJ207 compared to some other EJ variants, it's a potential issue to monitor, especially with higher mileage or aggressive tuning.

Turbocharger Failure:

The IHI VF34 turbo can be susceptible to wear or failure if oil is not changed regularly or if the turbo is subjected to extreme heat cycling without proper cool-down.

Clutch Wear:

High-performance clutch can wear faster with aggressive driving; torque converter lifespan can also be affected.

Suspension Bushings:

Wear and tear on suspension bushings is common over time, affecting handling and ride comfort.

Electrical Gremlins:

As with many turbocharged performance cars of this era, intermittent electrical issues can arise, often related to sensor connections or wiring harnesses.
