K1 Subaru. Ej-25. 83Mm Dual Thrust C/Shaft
K1 - Dual Thrust Crankshaft
Part - 039ADD830 — Subaru EJ‑25 Dual Thrust Crankshaft
- Application / Fitment
Designed for Subaru EJ25 engines — including turbo and naturally aspirated versions (WRX/STI/Forester/Liberty with EJ25 platform). It’s a popular choice for stroker builds (2.6 L) when used with matching rods and pistons.
Key Specifications
-
Part Number: 039ADD830
-
Engine: Subaru EJ25 2.5 L series
-
Stroke: 83.00 mm (increases displacement over the stock 79 mm crank)
-
Material: Billet 4340 steel — core hardened and nitride treated for strength and fatigue resistance
-
Main Journal Diameter: 60.00 mm — standard Subaru EJ main size
-
Rod Journal Diameter: 52.00 mm (fits Subaru EJ pin size)
-
Flange Type: 8‑bolt crank flange (common EJ pattern)
-
Dual Thrust Feature: Designed with dual thrust surfaces/locations to support thrust load on both sides of the crank, which helps better handle axial loads and minimizes end‑play — important in stroker builds and high‑load applications.
-
Rear Main Seal: 1‑piece configuration
-
Bearings: Main and rod bearings not included
-
Reluctor Wheel: Not included — crank position sensor ring typically reused from OEM or aftermarket kit added as needed
-
Weight: ~21 lb (≈9.5 kg)
-
Finish & Treatment: Magnetic particle tested, straight hole oiling, tight tolerances (~±0.0001″) for journal sizing
What “Dual Thrust” Means
A dual thrust crankshaft has thrust surfaces machined on both sides of the crank to properly support the crank’s axial movement (end‑play) under load from both flywheel/flexplate and clutch forces. This helps maintain proper crank positioning in the block under heavy use — especially valuable in high‑RPM or race/street stroker engines.
Typical Use & Build Context
-
Commonly used in 83 mm stroker builds that bump the EJ25’s displacement toward approximately 2.6 L when combined with compatible rods (~130.5 mm) and custom pistons.
-
Often paired with K1 130.5 mm rods (039DD21131) and custom piston kits sized for the desired compression ratio and bore.
-
Requires proper machine‑shop clearancing and setup — clearancing the block and ensuring correct bearing selection is standard for stroker installs.
