If you still have the TOP engine cover, it'll say TURBO on it. If the intake plumbing from your airbox doesn't go DIRECTLY from the airbox to the throttle box, it's a turbo model. If it DOES go directly from airbox to throttle body, it's a non-turbo model.

56cc eh??? Not 49cc like the USDM WRX heads.....
good info!

yups, I'm sticking to my EJ22 crank. I like the smoothness. Looking at rods made for the USDM STi 2.5L. They share the same rod length, there for I can put them in with forged pistons from CP for my 2.2L and be all set to go.

I was like....if I'm not shooting for more, should I just pick up some ...

well... my setup should be making close if not more than 300whp on pump.

WRX swap w/ stock EJ22T shortblock.
EVO3-16G-8cm^2, headerback, turbo inlet, eBay TMIC, Wlbro FP, uncapped and rescaled stock WRX injectors. The WRX heads are ported to mimic the JDM big ports.

SO THIS MEANs, I can go buy ...

Any links or help would be greatly appreciated.

which ones are you looking at??

Only if you fuck up the tune...

So then we'll push towards the limits when I get it tuned then. I'm using a Cobb AP2. Getting it Tuned in 2 weeks by Jorge from P&L.

I wonder if my EVO3 16G 8cm^2 will put too much hp.......I've got ported EJ205 WRX heads/TGVs running the STOCK 22T SB in my WRX swap.

I kind of worry a little that the rods may go...

ouch, I TRIED the '06 WRX clutch setup. It SLIPPED as well with my '00 OBS tranny mated up to it. It just DIDN'T work....

I swapped it back out and rounded off 3 of the 6 pucks on the ACT disc and put my Exedy stg1 pressureplate and my stock flywheel on. I NOW have an ACT heavy duty pressureplate ...

I don't know if you guy have been reading up on my posts over on NASIOC or RS25.

These are ALL 5-SPEEDs.

turboback will give you cat inefficiency code
ont '06+ USDM WRXs, there will be boost creep with turboback exhausts. THE CEL does come on if you reach over the fuel cut. I've seen it happen in an '02 WRX when we were cranking up the boost with a MBC.

It'll sound like an S204.
I have 4-1 headers and I love it. It's so JDM!!! hahaha

you can get good power out of the TD04L for daily driving.
I did this swap into my Impreza and had full headerback exhaust, WRX TD04L/TMIC, TXS FCD, TXS MBC, boosting avg 15psi and at 15psi I made 178whp 244wtrq on a mustang dyno.

The torque drops off after its peak at 3600rpms. HP holds above ...

I have teh TXS FCD in my 22T swap. It allowed me to RAISE the fuel cut and allow fuel cut to happen if boost was to creep higher than where set. Really NICE piece of hardware and really wasy to install and set with another handy person to turn the adjusters while you brake boost. lolz

SO this means I can just put in STi rods onto my EJ22T crank no problem.....no worries about the thickness of the rods???

suposely if you take it apart and that that tri-circle piece out from the venting part then it'll sound like every other BOV.

This what's I plan to do.

The TUrboXS one is really simpole to setup. Follow the steps and you're all good. I wired it to the ECU's MAP, power and ground.

I have the EJ22T swap into my Impreza. Running WRX fuel pump and TD04L w/ TMIC. boosting 15psi on a Mustang Dyno net me numbers 178whp, 244ft lbs of torque. On nights ...

just so you guys know i have a HKS on my eclipse and what everyone is saying about not leaking is true, it really is a great bov..the whistle is awesome to me i love it but you can take out the little silver insert at the tip and it will just sound like a regular bov...just get a small hex key and ...

how's that wiring on the intake manifold work?
What YEAR intake manifolds are you guys using? All the '96 have LARGE ports whereas the 97-99 have skinnier ports. I'm still wondering how they BOTH look like and if the '98 is just quinched/bottlenecked when the manifold turns down to the heads ...

injectors needed, ya?

because I'm just running a simple TD04L w/ TMIC, but keeping boost at 14psi just to be safe because I don't want to go lean. On cools night it creeps to 17psi in middle 4th, and when going into 5th. But boost drops back down when the RPM goes up to 5000rpm. It's just when I ...

I have my FCD in. I set the cut at 16psi. My boost is set at 14psi....at night it does creep to 17psi at times...but holds about 15psi. daytime it is running 14psi in 4th gear.

nice to have a safety margen. Whenever the boost hits 16psi, the MAP solenoid clicks when you are anywhere above 1000rpm ...

what I did w/ my EJ22T swap into my '99 Impreza was run a complete headerback, w/ TD04L, WRX TMIC w/ modded/extended Perrin y-pipe & Perrin VTA BOV, boosting at 14psi w/ Turbo XS MBC aided by a Turbo XS FCD & WRX fuel pump.

a fairly quick setup.... not sure how fast....but, hanging w/ EVO8 w ...

the knock sensor on my EJ22T cracked...so I put my '99 knock sensor on it and just plug in the connector pin to the terminal on the plug.

I have Perrin's atmospheric BOV. That one you have there is the one that you can vent to atmosphere and also recirculate. I WAS going to get that one but it wouldn't clear the cable lines and throttle body so I opted for the atmosphere one.

I get this when I'm off the throttle but not enough to vent the air out the BOV so it hurt my turbo and my turbo makes WRC sound.

I purchased a TurboXS FCD so I can set the fuel cut higher and still have some safety.

But then I'm running a TD04 (which isn't much better...but is if you do compare them together) w/ TMIC and WRX fuel pump on my Impreza L wagon. I also have headers on the car w/ completle 3" turbo back. The Fuel ...
