Re: Ej22 Rebuild

As it turns out the connection to the ecu behind the battery(injectors, etc...) Was unplugged! The retaining clips broke somehow so I ziptied the connection together. PHEW! She's running ok now. Still burning oil on start up however... I guess I need to start a build journal on my leggy... Customer ...

Re: Ej22 Rebuild

Hey thanks for the input and advice! Unfortunately I haven't been able to spend as much time as I would like to on this car lately. I drove it to work today and hit a hard corner when my engine sputters and cuts out... So I throw it in neutral and try to start it but it just keeps cranking... Ended ...

Re: Ej22 Rebuild

So after that whole ordeal my battery kept dying, so I let the subi sit for a little, until I got its own battery( I had been using 1 battery back and forth between two cars lol) Turns out it was just a lightbulb shorting out killing my battery. BACK ON THE STREET! Update: Thought I needed new brake...

Re: Ej22 Rebuild

Car died on my way to work, at a car shop(facepalm), motor had been misfiring then, after seeing smoke come out of my exhaust, and rough starting the past few days. We thought it might have been bad spark plug and after pulling the plug discovered the cylinder was filled with gasoline! Did a compres...

Re: EMERGENCY EXHAUST

I didn't expect it to be as hard as it was for me to find a shop willing to install it for me! After calling and visiting about 15 shops I finally found a performance shop about a mile away from where my car was towed to. Luckily AAA hooked me up and towed me there for free, even though they told me...

I think it was worth the price, not too rusty and it means I can hopefully get my beloved legacy back from the man tomorrow :) Thanks for the help!! As soon as I read the post I went on Craigslist heh...

Re: Ej22 Rebuild

Thanks again for all the help! Due to financial problems some of the build is on hold, but I've got a question on my gaskets!!

My teacher wants me to use ej22t head gaskets and I was wondering if I can just get a full ej22t set or if I have to get ej22 set and hg seperate?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Ej22 Rebuild

Thanks for the help everybody so far!

Does the rrfpr replace the fmu?
Could you explain TMIC and wideband, please and thank you!

How much boost can the ej22t piston and heads handle comfortably?

Re: Ej22 Rebuild

Since I started this thread my daily lancer had a cooling failure and my gorlfriend crashed her car. So finances have changed as well as mobility! Which means this legs gotta be quite reliable once I finish the build. Funny to think I'm about to trash my 04 lancer I got 6 months ago for a 21 year ol...

Re: Ej22 Rebuild

Welcome to the BBS. Cams are probably your best bet for more power out of the non-turbo motors. Check out http://www.deltacam.com what type of power increase do you think i could see with cams and a tune? Ive heard these open deck blocks dont handle too much boost, but how much is too much? Is a tu...

Ej22 Rebuild

Hello! As you can tell I'm new here, but I've been wandering around the forum for a while. I inherited my dads '93 legacy L FWD Auto, I know it sucks I have no awd and it's auto, but I still love this car, so I'm fully aware of its money pitness. Anyways, I just pulled the engine, and have completel...
