I have a 92' with a swapped-in EJ22t--turbo ECU and 4EAT. boost cut at approx 11lbs-boost cut possible from TCU or do I need FCD for my ECU? Tuner said stock ECU has the cut; any ideas?

:) I had a custom turbo install which utilized my NA Borla headers, stock crossmember, etc. I later added an MSD Dis-2 (which I`m selling now due to use of the Unichip) and SMC alcohol injection. I later added an MBC and played with all of it to get a very respectful result. Just make sure you have ...

:roll: I`ve used the Borla headers for both NA and now a turbo application (includes a custom up & down pipe fitted on a Garrett GT28R) with no negative issues. You`ll probably lean out your mixture some with headers but the computer should adjust for this condition. It depends on what you`re lo...

I`ll be in SoCal from 6/25 thru 6/27 for my sister`s funeral so that date would be out for me. My new engine needs more breaking in so the sooner we can get together at a neutral place, the better. Do keep us all posted as I know we can get this done!........ROD

:D If you have the bucks, a Garrett GT28R (290 hp) or a GT28RS (350 hp) will work great. They completely spool by 3k rpm and blow alot more air than a T3/T4 setup. I ran the 28R on my NA 2.2 for a couple of years and am now upgrading to the RS. I run a 4EAT and was very pleased with the results. Jus...

I need your rear strut bar for my `92 wagon; same color and everything!!! How do I get one?? E-mail me w/all the info inclucing price, del`y., etc. - subiedo@comcast.net -Thanks.......Rod

:shock: Everyone seems to think the stock EJ22T heads are`nt good enough for the street---WRONG!!! As has been said before, put your money where it`ll do the most good, ie: intercooler, engine management, better pistons, rods, etc. My heads after being LIGHTLY ported, CC`d, stock size s.s. valves, t...

I`m using Arias pistons in mine; same pistons used by Tony Rigoli and Easy Street motor sports. That was good enough for me!!--Rod

Sorry, I forgot to address the cost of the turbos. Either GT28 will run approx. $750.00 or more depending on your source. If you find someone who has a decent and not gouging markup, it`s not too bad. Good luck......Rod

:D I`m using the stock turbo heads that have been ported, cc`d and set up with roller rockers, titanium retainers, stainless int. and ex. valves + the combustion chamber has been thermo-coated like the forged piston tops. This was done to protect the motor from high boost, 91 octane gas and metanol/...

:D There are specific stud kits for the 2.5 AND the 2.2 (see my note "I`ve said this before.."). When my correct 2.2 studs arrive, I`ll measure the two and advise the difference if you still need the info. BTW, ARP has over 100 sets in stock for the 2.2; they just need to be packaged for s...

:oops: If you order a stud kit from APS, make sure they`re the ones for the 2.2 and not the 2.5 (which are too short.) Another week....sigh....before the car is fired. Being in Ca. with our strict emissions laws has forced me to break the engine in/get smogged as an NA engine. Adam (of I-Speed) is p...

:D I bought my wagon new with the following: power windows, doors & locks; auto with AWD, 80 watt radio + cassette. It`s a `92 L with no leather, cruise (I added the cruise last year), sunroof or ABS. Perfect combo to fix up at 180k miles for cruisin` and bruisin`all the rice boys in Norcal. &qu...

From what I understand, the 210 HP rating is WAY low!! You`d probably already be at 250 when it rolls off the showroom floor. I want one for my wife NOW!!!!........Soon.......Rod

:D A local Subie shop that I have as a customer is going to fabricate one for me as I have Borla headers (I think they sit lower than the stock manifolds). He said it would be relatively easy with 1/16" aluminum and a hole saw. You might try in your local area for someone handy with lighter met...

I finally found someone who`s actually ordered/received and installed a rear strut bar on a wagon!!! What year is yours? What`s the part number and website I can contact for one? Please email me at subiedo@comcast.net with the info if you would.....thanks, Rod

WTF are RE 92s??? I pretty much understand the other tire & rim speak but I`m lost here........

:!: If you don`t get crazy, and the motor is in good shape, you can safely run 5 psi on 91 octane fuel if the motor is COMPLETELY stock. You will, however, benefit greatly by having the following: good ignition, coil, plug wires, ONE heat range colder plug, RRFPR, Bosch blow-off valve (cheap and eff...

:shock: Another crazy lookin` for more power; you know what`ll happen, don`t you? You`ll become a boost junkie like me! Anyway, here`s what I did: Borla headers w/custom uppipe (2 1/4"), custom downpipe (2 1/2"-should be a divided bellmouth with a 3" size), hi-flow cat and 2 1/4"...

:?: In a short time, I`ll be putting on my GT wheels (16" x 6.5" wide, right?) and need to know if anyone has run a 215 wide tire that matches or is real close to the 21.4" height needed to maintain the speedo/odometer accuracy. i`m planning on running either Michelens (sp?) or T/A to...

:shock: I used Arias (or Paeco did) for my forged pistons. They now have the castings for the EJ22T and can produce pistons in any format and CR (mine are 9:1) in a reasonable amount of time. I`d suggest Arias as Tony Rigoli and EasyStreet both use them exclusively; look at the performance they achi...

:D When Paeco did my block, we went with a 1/2" stroke with a .040" overbore (it will take a .060" bore safely according to them.) I know that I-Speed`s engine builder was a little leery about my overbore but we`ll see fairly soon. He sleeves all his 2.4, 2.6 and 2.8 blocks so that`s ...

I`m also a huge fan of this site and have learned more here than anywhere else :D I also feel comfortable posting info I`ve either learned the hard way or the easy way from people much sharper than I. The only other site I really look at is the old one that preceded this one. Same good people and sa...

:D Just talked to Wayne at RC Engineering about the injectors I just sent to be cleaned and balanced; good info was received! Based on their knowledge, the 380cc injectors were good to about 300 HP, 440cc size to about 360 HP and 550cc injectors would be needed to go above that. This assumes all oth...

:?: I`m going to be in Vegas for the week of Nov. 2-7 for the Sema show. Anyone else going to be there? Also, does anyone know if there`ll be a Subie meet like we had at the dealership in the past? I`ll be staying at the Stardust and attending the show while wifey spends my car money (you know how T...
