Re: 95 L 22ecu run 22T?

Oops! Forgot about that detail. Derp. Edited thread title. Have any insight as to how a 22e ecu can run a boosted 22e successfully but will not run a 22t block very well? I'm not married to the idea by any means. At a glance the 22e and 22t sensors look identical. Ill have to check the parts catalog...

Re: hesitation issues

My hesitation issue was also very troublesome to track down. I replaced the injectors, installed a Walbro 255 lph, fixed multiple vacuum leaks, replaced the coil pack, used a boost leak tester I built and fixed every boost leak, this all helped a little. Finally I replaced the MAF and I was golden!

Re: 91 Legacy SS Turbo hesitating, misfiring and overheating

My 93 SS was hesitating and overheating. Turns out the head gaskets blew, I had multiple vacuum/boost leaks, the injectors were bad, the fuel pump was dying, crappy plugs and wires, and the MAF was dirty/dyng. After simply replacing everything it now runs like a beast. I'd start by checking for vacu...

I agreed to get the front control assemblies and I asked the seller if he ever comes across the rears. He said he had the complete rear assemblies off of the same car and threw them on the shipping pallet. :) Unfortunately the rears are not two pots but will still be a massive upgrade over the crapp...

Re: GC8 STi control arms on 95 L?

I'm pretty set on purchasing them. I've heard the only problem is the sway bar endlink. The GC8 control arm endlink mount angles on a 45 degree while the stock goes straight up. But I'm sure it's possible to make it work.

Backing plates? Are those the dust shields? I have looked at USDM WRX upgrades where they remove the dust shields to get the setup to fit.

Re: GC8 STi control arms on 95 L?

Great! Thanks for the quick response. Even if the GC8 arms aren't necessary, will they be an upgrade over the L arms? One reason I would by the package is that it would be around $750 which isn't much more than ordering the front calipers new from flatirons tuning and I would get low mileage knuckle...

Re: Maciek's 1991 2.35L Turbo Legacy (now with more porn!!!)

Great write up! I have a spare 22T block and I am still figuring out what direction I will go with it.

What factored into your decision to grind the crank as opposed to machining the block? A lot of stroker builds I have come across machine the block and not the crank. Thanks.

Thanks for the offers on the MAFs guys. But I came across a Touring Wagon at the scrapyard today and luckily it still had the MAF (no engine). I also took the bcs, aps, etc. off it for later. Great news!!! I cleaned and installed the new MAF and the SS runs PERFECTLY! No misfire, or put put problem ...
