Do i really need all this stuff listed in this kit? $266 seems a bit much for a TB kit for this car no? Where does everyone get their TB kits from?? TIA http://catalog.autohausaz.com/autohausaz/detailw.jsp?sid=p4izns55jwwphj454kdavuel&partner=autohausaz&year=1993&make=SU&model=LEG--...

I replaced/refilled my HLA's and the noise just came back a month or two later. I replaced a few and serviced the others I could sacrifice, the damn things are like $20 a piece. I found what really got rid of the tick was running diesel grade oil in the engine. I used Valvoline super blue or someth...

My lifters have started their "ticking" until the engine is warm. It's annoying but is it a problem beyond that? Just wanted to make sure there were no long-term issues. Thanks. If you haven't already, try using synthetic oil at your next oil change. You could also use a not-too-strong en...

A lot of what this guy did to his 2.2 n/a is worthwhile. He also talks about the PP6 a tiny bit.

Keep in mind that he has the 2nd generation single-port exhaust 2.2 which is different than your dual-port exhaust.

My Subaru dealership in town has lied to me on several occasions....haha They say that my crank is no longer being made. I need the part number and also need to know whether or not they still sell a crankshaft, main bearings and rod bearings for my 91 SS. I know the crank has to be a forged one? Ca...

Hey Dude, I've never heard of one and even if one did exist, at best it would give you an extra two or three horsepower. Totally worthless and not worth the effort in my opinion. You are much better off installing an aftermarket exhaust and possibly intake. Even with that you might see an increase o...

Simple Green. Works very well and quickly and its enviro friendly for all you mamas boys out there:). Just use your head and you will be fine. Avoid open or unsealed connections, intake, headlights, and that sort of thing. Pretty much anything from the underside is fair game. Big 2nd on the Simple ...

What is the best way to clean up the oil crud on the engine in my 92 Legacy NA? I'm trying to find a moderate oil leak. I lose about half a quart every 200 miles, and it's clearly destined for my driveway. I've replaced the timing belt and water pump, and while all the front was off, I inspected th...

done the smoke show already. chesterKV wrote Ummmm, front-wheel drive car ? I would sell it before putting too much money into it. funny guy. have already put three hard years of life into it. not to make it run. it runs beutifuly Not meant to be funny at all.

Ummmm, front-wheel drive car ?

well what i did was take my turbo, manifold and heads etc. of my ej22t and put it on the EJ22 NA block but no we didnt bore or stroke any thing just reseated the vavles and had the block and heads done at a machine shop low budget Cool, And what octane gas are you using and how many miles on the mo...

well actually if you use you turbo heads and NA block it works just fine thats what my engine consists of and just make sure that you reseat the valves but im sure u knoe that but anyway ive ran 14 pounds of boost and it was fine. running like 9-10psi right now and will run higher when i get interc...

$ 300.00 for plug-and-play is well worth it in my opinion.

The block and heads are different. Camshafts are different, pistons are different. The compression in the ej 22 n/a is around 9.4:1 which is a lot higher than the ej22T. The EJ22 n/a doesn't have the built-in oil squirters for the main bearings.

In one case, I had a bad #3 fuel injector that would not fire at idle but would be fine when giving it some throttle.... weird but that's what happened. The symptoms were a rough idle; the engine was actually only running on three cylinders at idle. After turning off the engine the exhaust smelled l...

I'm not so sure what type of rubber Subaru uses. Viton is simply a type of rubber. There are different types of viton....so without knowing exactly what it is....it'd be hard to say whether it's better. I will however refer you to this thread for some thoughts by myself and others on OEM vs afterma...

Hey Dudes, I'm confused about the various manufacturers that offer seals such as cam, crank, and valve stem, seals in viton synthetic rubber compound. I've always gone with Subaru OEM but is this material really better as many sites claim? The Achilles' Heel of the Subaru engine has always been the ...

So I just went to NAPA with my old starter and they gave me a shiny new one for a great price. Man oh man are starters easy to switch on these cars! She's running like a champ now. That's cool and all but it's probably re-manufactured... not new. This means it might last a long time.... it might no...

The EJ25 from '95 to '99 is DOHC and called phase 1. Phase 2 is the SOHC version from '00 to present.

You can, apparently, drop in a phase 1 DOHC EJ25 complete. You'll have to make minor modifications to the wiring harness and close off the EGR valve on the ej25 throttle body since the ej22 you have doesn't use it. It's going to give you almost as much power as a standard ej25 since the ej22 ecu sti...

......... i think the noise is unavoidable however. If the engine is dirty and/or low on oil then you will hear the lifters because they're not able to pump themselves up because clean oil isn't able to flow into them as designed. Lifters do go bad. On my current rebuild I found one lifter that is ...

Is there any specific reason you want to check the block for cracks? I would tend to agree with the shop, that it is very rare for the block to have cracks. As for do-it-yourself tests. You can try and get some UV dye penetrant or similar. Here's something a quick google search showed up. http://ww...

So I've gone to several engine machine shops and they all tell me they only check for cracks in the heads and aren't set up to do so for a short block. They all say the same thing, 'it's VERY rare that a block will have cracks." So I then say, "but can you guarantee that it doesn't?" ...

Did it do anything ?

Just curious.

thanks. i ordered the knock sensor and the temp sensor, whoo they are expensive, 60 for the temp and 90 for the knock, where could i get a new purge valve, are they hard to replace?? Wait... did you clear the codes first to make sure they weren't old and invalid? You can just disconnect the battery...
