STi engine code- ej257 Mechanically, its an easy swap. Electrically, its a nightmare. The engine harnesses in subarus are integrated with the main harness. This means you have to pull the wiring harnesses out of both cars from the engine bay to the fuel pump. Therefore you would be removing the the ...

Sounds right about the misfiring. I had the similar symptoms when one of my injectors went south.

Get a heavy-duty strap wrench. I got one from Ace hardware with a big aluminum handle that works great. The small cheap ones with the plastic handles can't hold up to the torque, as I mangled one in about two seconds. A chain wrench will hold but gauge the pully.

simonasaur- I checked out unichip's website. Looks like a good product. Do you have to get it from a dealer and have them tune it? I'm up here in Minnesota where it appears that there isn't a dealer for them. I'd rather not flatbed my car to another state just to tune the thing. There are a few tune...

Do you know where an extra 100 cc's/min would get me boost wise with a nice fmic? I was thinking i'd want to be in the 15-17 psi range to get the output I'm looking for but I'm not shure. I'll check out the unichip if I can do all you said. Some sr20 injectors would be nice if they can be made to wo...

Definately let me know how it goes with the s-afc. If I could could save $1200 on electronics, I'd be happy. I'm curious. Is it possible to flip the intake around? I can see that its way different than the NA intake, maybe I could that one. It might be a pipe dream, but that would make my IC plumbin...

I've thought about scrapping the car itself altogether since the front end is a bit smacked up from me smiking bambi's mom at about 100 ticks(long story). Getting a newer chassis doesn't really gain me anything mechanically, and would more of a pain in the ass with the newer emissions junk and wirin...

Duely noted. Its not that i'm not capable of rebuilding the engine, I was just trying to avoid rebuilding it when I wasn't planning on beefing up the bottom end, although it would make things easier when I really want to go nuts-o with it down the line. Do you think the main and rod bearings should ...

Been following the board for quite a while but haven't registered till today. Just picked up a motor out of a 91 turbo legacy yesterday for $250. I have a 93 legacy L 5MT. I'm going to work the car over with the turbo engine, different suspension and brakes. Since I have the ej22t in my posession, t...
