The Subaru took 1st place last night at the races. just thought i would let you guys know, and thanks for all of your input to make this car campetitive.

yes # 87 is my brother and he is racing a 91 honda accord but i can pass him every time. so far anyway and i'm qualifying about half a second faster then he is. we are both very competitive so it keeps it interesting. :lol: I'm still trying to look for a ej25 block just want to get the correct one (...

if you want to see some pics in action you can visit www.kinrossspeedway.com and check out some of the 2005 pictures. the car is # 81 and is red and white. you can also check out stats for each race night.

is there a difference between the SOHC and DOHC 2.5l blocks?

i don't have the cat in the car anymore its all knocked out and i tried 2 gallons of race gas in the tank and it was about 3/4 full. (it did make a difference though). a fellow subaru guru told me about that trick, unplug the knock sensor at the plug in (its about 6 inches from the knock sensor) con...

one more question any tricks to taking this engine out of the car? or does someone have some pics. any funny stuff when trying to seperate the tranny and engine?

if anyone needs to know i got the gas guage working it is the brown and yellow wire just connected a new wire from the front to the pump and presto my gas guage was working again.

well said matt and thanks everyone for your input i will hopefully smoke some ppl in the oval races when this motor is done :lol: come in 2nd place last friday with my 2.2l not moded much except i have a resistor on my knock sensor, my cat is cleaned out, and i put in some racing fuel. i found some ...

would anyone happen to know what each color does that leads into the fuel pump? there are 5 wires i just need to know what ones are for the gas guage and if one of them should have power to it or not? my car is a 90 legacy N\A FWD, AUTO. if someone has a wiring diagram it would be great.
thanks

Matt (or anyone who know's) I was wondering how you set the timing on the new motor? does this mod make it a close tolerance engine? can i use my old crank pully? thanks

hi just a question does the E stand for anything on the ej22E

forgot to ask if the stock tranny will bolt back on fine with the new block?
Thanks again

the web site for the race track is www.kinrossspeedway.com my car is the # 81 its red and white.

ok i have a 90 legacy 2.2. N\A FWD. i found a ej25 block but it is a DOHC will my heads still fit on this block so i can do my conversion with a 2.5 block and 2.2 heads? or do i need a 2.5 from a SOHC ?
Thanks

does it matter if i get a block from the single or dual over head cam 2.5l?

So does anyone have a ej25 block lying around? also another thread said to use the head gaskets for the ej25 is this correct?
thanks

ok i have a 90 2.2l N\A FWD legacy (for oval racing) want more power. so i've been reading about getting a 2.5l block and putting it in. seems easy enough. just wondering how much extra hp and torque do you get? would any 2.5l block fit? any other good mods for a 2.2l. been looking around and didn't...

door panels are all cut out and gutted suspension is very low. alll trim is also gone on the car. there is no displacement limit in this class. I also cambered the right front tire and plannin on putting a camber on the back. what car did the ej25 come in and how bad to change it in???? would the tr...

Everything is gutted and a roll cage is in the car. also cambered the front wheel a bit for better cornering. not too sure what else to do to the car. i just try stuff go and test it and see what happens :wink: any other ideas to try would help also. thanks guys this site is great just found it a wh...

The point is to just go and have some fun while running the S$#t out of a car. Also i still have the problem of not enough power coming out of the corners, about 4000 rpm ish and only getting to about 5000 rpm down the straight. any other ideas would be apreciated to make this subaru go faster. is i...

i will post a pic tomorrow. so will i lose some midrange power by having the exhaust cut off so short? and by having no back pressure is ok for the engine?
thanks guys. Racing tonight Can't wait better not rain

ya its very loud i will see how loud it is tomorrow at the races when i get to rev it up :D ok so i'll leave it unpluged. and yes each side is individual and has about one foot of pipe facing the rear. :P I'm going to bring ear plugs just in case its too loud inside when i'm driving it :P i can get ...

so take the sensor out of the cat, plug it in and just tie it up somewhere??

Oval Racing. need some more power...

i kept everything else just in case i have to weld it back together if i have to i guess i can just clean out the cat and put the sensor back in.. anyone else know? thanks
