Re: ej22 na turbo help pls

Re: Low beams went out.

Change the bulbs out. Happened in my 05 LGT. You use your low beams the most and at the same time, obviously. starting the car can send more power at the lights I guess and blow them out. Like I said happened on my GT, changed the bulbs and all good. It happens often on subies. Both seem to go toge...

I've tried a fluid swap, added some leubeguard and still the same. It doesnt bind at all. and the rear get...

Im hoping so, it's pretty darn quick as is! but the rpm doesnt align very well with shifts, thats part of why I think The wife burned up 4th gear, and the fact I left it in b boost @16psi.

Re: 92 legacy na auto slipping

Yeah...that all sounds correct...but unless you've got OB struts on there (even then I'm not sure) those tires likely won't fit?? The '96-99 OB had a stock 205-70-15 @ 26.3" tall (~same as the Forester's 215-60-16); the 225-65-16 is 27.5". 2002 forester struts, strut top spacer, and subfr...

Re: 92 legacy na auto slipping

ok, so just before I pull the trigger on a 4.44 tranny and rear diff, up to 98 is good for tranny, and rear diff will require pinion flange swap, and 95-99 cv axles in the rear? hopefully my speedo will be more accurate with 225/65/16's

Re: TD04 and 06 tmic question.

I was able to use just an elbow and cut and modify the intercooler plastic ypipe (03wrx) . as for the bpv, I made a stock one fit. modified the flange, re drilled the intercooler and piped it to the preturbo intake. works well. I run 3" invidia to tail pipe , It\s overkill , 2.5 would be plenty!

I know I'm very late to the game in replying, but what are you calling the "center vent line off the tree"? On the N/A block there isn't a center port on the block. Are you referring to another line? Do you have two different catch cans or just one? The breather lines on the valve covers ...

gasket matching

While I have my engine torn down, what can be gasket matched, what shouldnt be touched? The head exhaust ports are tiny compared tto the flame rings on the gaskets, can these be opened up, or am I messing with an unseen force here?

Thats correct. But was curios if i could just omit the two extra and run the non turbo valve covers. Two are baffled. Two or not.
