Re: Best bang for the buck build on ej22t
The factory up-pipe does not clear the Phase 2 SOHC heads. I'm not sure if any aftermarket ones do. PICK YOUR ENGINE MANAGEMENT FIRST. Then select heads and intake manifold to suit. The most common are 1)stock/EJ20G engine management w/ stock SOHC or EJ20G/EJ25D DOHC heads and mathing manifold and 2...

I also suspect the gauge.

Re: Car won't start - Tried the Coolant Temp Sensor
IIRC, the crank position sensor in the cam position sensor connectors are close to the exhaust at that point and might have been compromised or damaged when you change the downpipe.

Re: Car won't start - Tried the Coolant Temp Sensor
Check in this order....
Timing belt/cam timing
Fuel pressure
Cam position sensor
Crank position sensor
Ignitor
Those are the common ones for a no-start condition. TPS, IAC and ECT wil usually not effect starting, just effect how it runs/idles. Also check for any vacuum/intake tract leaks.

Re: Upper coolant reservoir compatibility?
There are no other Subarus that interchange directly.
IIRC, there have been a few folks to have swapped to a USDM WRX one. Maybe a search on this forum will bring it up.

They look like they could be the same with just different pintel caps.

Re: 91 SS to RSRA Spec bare shell complete restoration/build
The helper springs are there to keep the main spring from "falling out" or rattling.
Few the chosen spring rate and travel, the main spring would 'get loose' under full extension, so the helper spring keeps it in place.

Re: LCA comparison pic
Unless what I'm reading is wrong, or I'm reading it wrong, the sedan and wagon GD/GG use the same crossmember - so at least ONE of the control arm mounting points are the same. I'm pretty sure the width difference is in the control arms. Your friends camber change, with only a control arm swap, poin...

Re: Bad TPS? (Sky-High Idle after boost)
Yes. That's why you need to double check them after the switch is adjusted. If you can't find a sweet spot where everything jives, then the TPS is likely bad. Sometimes you can nudge the TPS to get the idle switch working and keep the voltages in spec..sometime you can't. That is all assuming the id...

Re: Bad TPS? (Sky-High Idle after boost)
If you checked continuity with the connector disconnected, then yes, that means the idle switch is either bad or not adjusted correctly. I would loosen the screws and, at idle, see if it will rotate and close the switch. If you can get the switch to close (have continuity), and with the TPS in the n...

Re: Bad TPS? (Sky-High Idle after boost)
Spencer, Those readings are close enough that I wouldn't automatically dismiss the TPS. The ECU is actually reading voltages and depending on the ECUs 5 volt reference those small differences in resistance could still provide the ECU with proper voltages. The next step is to A) check and adjust the ...

While not the exact same symptoms, a bad (or slow responding) engine coolant temp sensor can lead to symptoms similar to a bad TPS or AFM.

That needs to be drilled perfectly in the center and drilled out almost all the way to the threads. That will relieve the pressure and allow the threads to turn again.

Re: Need help deciding a build
A stock crank is fine for any reasonable horsepower level. Newer 2.0 cranks have better coatings and cross drilling, BUT not for the power - For the RPMs. Hence why Subaru only "upgraded" the 2.0 cranks. Every OEM EJ crank is forged and all have basically the same ultimate strength. Stock ...

Re: 95 ej20g into 92 turbo leg
Find Kimo's build thread. THAT is what you will want to use as a guide. The only hard issue is the TPS differences. You ECU needs a proper EJ22 or V1-2 EJ20G ('89-'96) TPS > which requires a EJ22/V1-V2 EJ20G ('89-96) throttlebody > which requires a spacer and a flip to bolt to the "EJ20K" ...

Re: Hey guys, I'd like to get some opinions on my TT heads
It's hard to see in the pictures. Because of the way the cam actually rides on a film of oil, they might be OK. High spots need to be gently filed back down. Valleys can be left alone because they will fill with oil. This applies to both the cam and the journal. After there are no high spots, evalua...
