Turbo timers are totaly pointless. If you have a water cooled CHRA and run a modern good quality oil, especialy a modern synthetic, you'll never coke your turbo bearings. Turbo timers were needed in the days of weak oil and non cooled turbos. The only reason companies wtill sell them is because peop...

Honestly, you might be better off looking for a BG Legacy GT wagon. (96-99) They look cool, have all the options you want, are popular in 5 speeds, most have sunroofs and many have leather. Swaping in a turbo motor or adding a turbo to the motor isn't all that tough. Plus there's much more bolt on a...

no numbers that anyone is going to give you or any number you give him is going to help him port those heads any different. Knowing that a water passage is dangerously close might help, but that's it. Someone that's ported those heads before could maybe give some pointers, but by far and large, head...

my uncle is an HVAC engineer, he's designed a few buildings that heat and cool with geothermal power. Actually the town building in my town is geothermal heated/cooled.

yup, coolant passeges don't line up. Use the EJ25 gaskets. Even with the thin SOHC gasket you'll loose compression with the EJ25 head swap. With the 2.2 gaskets you'll loose even more plus you'll have overheating problems because you don't get coolant to the head. People with EJ25 heads on EJ22T (cl...

I totaly agree with Gary's post. The way we will be forced to live in the future is off of renewable natural energy (solar, wind ext) and we should make a constant and countious effort to reach that goal. Unfortunatly that would require a rip and replace of most of the assets of the entire industria...

Don't hate on ethanol. It's actually a pretty decent fuel. It kinda sucks in regular cars designed for gasoline, but in an engine designed for ethanol it actually can burn more efficiently and can produce the same power and economy with less emissions than gasoline. Ethanol does contain less energy ...

You can get the front pipe off a 95 or 96 legacy. It'll have the 2 port exhaust. You must have a 97+ 2.2 They are the rare bird subaru exhaust wise. Everything else is 2 port. Actualy a front pipe off an EJ25 car should work too.

yup, had to grind off a bunch from the EJ25 SOHC heads. Not really a problem though. It's a lot of material to take off, but it's mostly just a large embossment that goes to nothing. I took photos, I'll post them soon.

STi cat back on a wagon, where is it short?

I know that the STi cat back on a wagon will be to short, but I'm not sure where. What I wanna know is that it will fit around the rear subframe and reach the end of the bumper. My downpipe and midpipe are totaly custom, so if I need to make up some length in the mid pipe like you guys with SS cars ...

I have that exact header. Seems like a pretty damn good piece for the money. It very well might end up cracking, but I'll weld it back up if it does.

wow... so how much faster is it? Getting any detonation at that boost level? That works out pretty well as that's about the max boost you can run on a modified roots type compressor (the get stupid inefficient after PRs over 2)

could be plugs, a bad injector is a likely culprit. Also make sure your engine isn't running a little to hot (clogged radiator, sticking thermostat). That can hurt things too. Your fan being on a lot leads me to think something along those lines. A NA Subaru should be able to run all day without nee...

check for codes ... watch the tach next time it happens. try to notice if the tach drops off suddenly (like if you turned the key off), before the engine actauly dies. If so, you might have an intermitent crank sensor problem. Not all that uncommon.
