I've hade both manual end electronic boost controllers on other turbocars without problems. I REMOVED the bleedvalve yesterday and just connected the 2 lines with a small pipe. The result was, kind of no difference at all! The car boosts away to 1bar when i push full throttle and then rapidly descen...

I'll do a basic tuneup in the near future with plugs etc. But how do i control or service the air control valve? Could i lubricate it in some way? And about the grounding, if i have understood things right there are som kind of popular grounding mod that people do? Maybe that could be done in conjun...

How should the bleedvalve or in the future the solenoidvalve from the AVC-D be connected? If I install the AVC-D how do I bypass the stock management???

I just bought an Legacy RS fitted with some kind of bleedvalve mounted to some hose under the bonnet, near the right front wheel. I haven't even have time to trace the hose but i thougt i'd ask first. The boostlevels are quite weird! If i really put the gas fully the boost peaks quite fast to 0.9bar...

When I press my clutch or change gear into neutral my idle drops down and then goes up again (2-3 times) before it stabilizes at around 1000rpm. I haven't noticed the same thing when the engine is cold and the cold start is in use... What could be the problem? Kindly Regards //Gustaf

Thanks alot once again, as the topmounts should fit, the front too?! I will try to get the price a bit lower... if he lowers it then it should be a quite good buy with some cleaning and painting... Is the dampers inserts or are they hole perch an oil container with an piston in it? Can i cleen them ...

My english fails me again... so do I need new topmounts or not? And can i use the front ones? Aprox. what does new topmounts cost? Actually the suspension had "only" been used 90000km. I misunderstood the seller at first... But 350$+ topmounts might be a bit much, or? Is it worth the money...

hmm =( ... so they won't fit then?

Hi again! Here are the pics of the suspension... Is this enough for a direct swap? And is it worth 350$ for them? 1999 and 150000km

Kindly Regards // Gustaf

THANKS ALOT for your answer, I'm sorry if I'm a bit annoying but I just bought my first Subaru and my english is not the best in the world... and as I am a student I cant afford to buy the suspension from the Impreza and find it to be a non fit. But as I understand the "leftoverparts" afte...

so it doesn't matter that i have the first legacy 1990 and the impreza is from 1999?

is the whole suspensionleg enough? it's from an impreza that runs coilovers now, so the parts that get left after the coiloverswap should be enough?? Thanks alot! For your help!

Ok, how did they work? I still dont understand if the Impreza GT MY99 Europen version suspension will fit my 1990 Legacy?

Hi! I recently bought an 1990 Subaru Legacy 1.8 GLX (EJ18 SPI (TBI) engine) I've read somwhere that Subaru Impreza Turbo shocks and springs (the hole leg) fit the Legacy. And do i need to replace the wheelhub and brakes too? But what years of the Impreza fit? Does the Impreza GT MY99 fit? It would b...

I'll probably weld an edis triggerwheel to the pulley, is the front pulley alu or steel?

It's a TBI injection (SPI in subarulanguage). As I would need to get intakemanifolds etc. from the MPI version of EJ's it isn't worth the work of converting the EJ18. I'll try to get hold of an EJ22 cheaply and turboconvert it with home made manifolds, if i cant get an ej20g turbo manifold for free ...

Thanks for the pic, i reckon it's the small pulley in the middle. Does anyone now how it looks like on the other side is the trigger wheel bolted to the pulley, in other words, could you replace it with another one with more slots?

great thank you !

Thanks alot for your answers! It leens against swapping the ej18 for an ej22 with megasquirt and turbo...



Does the EJ22 have the same heads as the EJ20G?

thanks alot for all your help, It leens against turboconverting an ej22 then and swapping that against my ej18.

Together with a megasquirt and edis it could be quite fine. What power levels are people reaching with converted EJ22:s?

Where can i find the liberty RS board?

the engine management isn't the problem it's the CR.

What differs the EJ18,20G and 22? Bore or stroke?

How have people solved this problem when turboconverting the EJ22?

I'm running Megasquirt 'n Spark Extra on my Nissan Silvia S12 so that part shouldn't be any problem. The compression ratio is thou... has anybody tried using dual headgaskets or dual headgaskets with an stellplate between on the ej22 or any other ejxx N/A engine? I could get the plates lasercut, may...

yes that is no problem, but it's not worth the work if you keep the 9.7:1 stock CR.

Yes i know but i need ignitioncontrol anyway if i turboconvert the EJ18. The biggest problem is the high CR.... =(

I have the EJ18 SPI.. whats your best tips to get more power?

The problem is that the turboengine is so expensive. Has anybody turboconverted the N/A EJ22 or EJ18 .. any tips how to lower the compression??? Is the MPFI the same on the EJ22 N/A as the EJ20G turbo??
