I was looking at putting my 91 Liberty RS EJ20G heads on my EJ22T block. I know that it drops the compression quite a bit (from the compression chart on the website) Is it easy to get compression out of these heads by shaving them? I know some heads are easier to get a point or two out of than other...

Don't know right off without taking it for a spin but I have replaced the cluster with a fresh one and it is the same.

I wonder if someone changed the rear gear then, because it's well over that at 65 mph in 5th.

My manual 91 SS is great around town, but now with a kid on the way it would be nice to go on a road trip in it without being tach'd out doing 65 mph. Isn't there a 6mt from an STI that would go in a 91 SS? Has anyone done this before? I would love to be able to drive on the interstate for extended ...

Yeah my friend actually has a 91 turbo, but his is an automatic. That is the only difference.

Well I already WOKE it up when I gutted the cats, it was an almost unrecognizable car at that point. I heard a friend of mine say that he lost power because it needed a little back pressure...mine already hits the fuel cut as it is, I just didn't want to lose any. Especially from the bottom end beca...

I have a 91 SS that I have a stainless header on, VF-11 and a completely turbo back stock exhaust except for the fact that both the cats are gutted. It spools really quick, but I was thinking of putting a Tsudo 3 inch downpipe and completely open exhaust all the way back on it. Has anyone run a comb...

How much to ship to 28792?

I have a gray 1990-91 Legacy shifter knob Subaru part #35022AA030MJ that I ordered new and never installed. Retails for $36. I will take $20 shipped in the continental US. I do take Paypal. Thanks

Got one guys

I am looking for a really nice looking, functional factory stereo for my 91 SS. PM me.
Thanks

You're really going to need a standalone to get 300 whp or above. I just don't see anything else working well. I've kept the stock heads because I've got all the work setup on it already. If I had it to do over again, I'd go DOHC heads. When and if this motor ever goes or if I want more power, I'll...

That's alright. I was just wondering what anyone has been able to get out of the EJ22T in it's most basic form (Without head swaps).

evolutionmovement wrote:What does the compression ratio matter if you get custom pistons anyway?

I was actually talking about the off the shelf pistons that Wiseco makes for the EJ22T. They are not custom, but are the same as stock only forged.

MikeyMeyagi--I would like to get your engine/turbo/management recipe...pics?

I wouldn't mind trying the stock heads. Wiseco actually list an excellent set of forged pistons made just for the EJ22T. Maybe send the heads out to Mondello? That guy gets some crazy flow numbers. I had him do a set of Oldsmobile 5A smog heads one time...He put the largest valves possible, did a fu...

I have a spare EJ22T and would like to use all of the parts. I have some spare EJ20G heads but it seems a little complicated to do the head swap, plus getting custom pistons made to up the compression after the drop you get from the swap.

So, I've read so much about the 300-400hp EJ22t builds...My question is does anyone have a recipe for this? I realize the SOHC heads need to be heavily ported w/larger valves. I am not talking about throwing some DOHC heads on it. What can you do about cams? Do they make hot ones? Injectors? Ignitio...

So...I fixed it. All of these problems were literally from the top screw in the back of the temp gauge being stripped out! Whatever you do people, do not tighten one of these screws too tight! I had a HUGE ground problem with the battery draining and other stuff before I figured it out. I eventually...

Appreciate it guys!

Yeah that was what I was thinking too...I have a used gauge cluster on the way to test if maybe I broke something on the cluster or if it's the wiring. Pretty soon I will find out! Hate to have the Sube sitting there so long!!! I have Sti's to take care of!

Ok, got everything working now except for the left side of the dash is kind of dim still, and the temp gauge is still going haywire...

I was putting my gauge cluster back together today and there are 3 screws in behind the temp gauge...I accidently took them out, and when I reinstalled them, the temp gauge now actually goes all the way hot and stays there. I can't figure this out, because if you take these screws out they obviously...

Not really interested in cash, maybe a good 90-91 Legacy that's already all wheel drive and wouldn't have to be converted...Doesn't have to be a turbo car, just would make a good rally car starting point. If I was offered the right amount of cash I probably wouldn't turn it down though. Make me an o...
