Intercooler blew off a couple times a few nights ago. And the car has had a sligth miss ever since. at wot car will pull hard for a sec then it feels like no power.Does it whether the motor is hot or cold. doesnt matter the cruising speed, throttle %, or anything. seems to have the same miss all the...

Very interested in the wrx stereo and wiring please pm me

Its just a yakima bar and clamps with a bracket i made that bolts to the bar. The bracket has holes in it for the lights.

Basically looking for any turbo comparible in size in good shape asap

Yes i did, it seemed exactly the same either way. I put them in with the rubber piece and no pintle caps though.

Fair enough. All you can really do is tune it out to what you can safely run. Speculating at this point is of really no use. If you have time to change your piston order, I would. Honestly, the EJ22T longblock with the 8.5:1 pistons, fresh valve job and all that with the 220 grind cams was plenty s...

I actually changed the order to 8.5:1 before anyone posted a reply after doing some research. And evolution, my car spun a bearing on a td04, 06/07 top mount, apexi neo, tuned by pre on 11psi at 210k miles. Ive always planned on a 2.35 with wiseco pistons and dohc. I wasnt going to do it this soon b...

You did jack my thread. And search I've seen a thread on here where someone took the time to calculate almost all ej22/head setups with stock and 8.5:1 pistons. And I understand the efficency of turbos that was not my question. I do not have the money for a bigger turbo right now. I understand I wil...

No i have not. What are they efficient to?

Off the shelf pistons wiseco makes for sti's are 8.9:1 please explain your reasoning. Most turbo street builds ive seen run 8.5:1 - 9.0:1 because theres better off boost power and drivability on bigger turbos.

The head chamber in a stock 22t is 49cc what i should have asked is what is it with .030 taken off of the head

So i ordered 9.0:1 wiseco pistons. I did this without realizing my heads have been milled 30 thousanths. i plan to run 17 pounds oin a td04. is this a safe compression ratio for 91 octane and stock headgaskets? what about for more boost in the future. I still have time to change the order should i d...

I also need to know what clutch/flywheel setup i need. It has a 5 speed swap that was done before i got the car so im not sure what its out of. i do know that its a push style, cable and it is 4.11 final drive,.

Already had the cams in before the motor went. Was planning on leaving it like that till it spun a bearing. I plan on going with a td05 or bigger in the future but ive run out of money. For now 240 to 250 wheel is fine with me.

Thank you! And im assuming those were 550s you were maxing?

Answered my own question! For anyone else that wants to know im going with the thrust in #5 position and using the main bearings for the sti crank

I know that but for now i have no more money for another turbo. What if i ordered 9.0:1 wiseco pistons?

ej22t Block
ej257 Crank
ej257 Rods
Custom Wiseco Forged pistons
Stock heads
Delta 220 Cams
Up pipe and 3in turboback
550cc Sti injectors
06/07 Wrx top mount
Fuel cut defender
td04 @ 17psi
Apexi neo piggyback

What power numbers should i expect?

I spun rod bearing at 210k miles in my original ej22t, after looking for another motor or crank/rods for a month and a half with no luck i decided to pick up an sti crank and rods. Got the setup for $250 and they have 40k miles on them. Im wondering whether i should machine the crank to accept #3 th...

I need to get ahold of doug and see if he has another motor. i destroyed a rod bearing in my 22t and scored the crank pretty bad

Is this still for sale? I think i saw the rods and pistons on craigslist. if so i am interested in the rods/pistons/bearings/oil pump. thanks

Can you post pictures of the seats? if they're in decent shape and no major holes. i will buy them if you are willing to ship

Less back preassure after overheating. What could cause it?
