Also, this site says it has the EJ20g elbow in stock:

And: The EJ20G 46023FA000 part is still avl @ Partsouq.com.

What are your power goals? The NA EJ22 is great for low PSI turbo add-ons. With EM you can probably get 10 PSI or (a bit) more. Search on here under Reddevil for NA turbo builds. And this: http://www.realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/index.php?topic=2172.0 Rs25.com: http://www.rs25.com/forums/f7/t221390-n...

Wtb good condition VF11.

MUST HAVE STOCK WASTEGATE
and NO broken studs.

Thanks

codes = http://legacycentral.org/library/literature/codes.htm 22 = knock sensor / KS 45 = Press. Sensor 49 = MAF 51 = Neutral switch The KS needs replaced. It's causing your car to go into LIMP mode. 99% of Legacys from '90-'95 will have cracked KS by now (and years ago). Get a new one - supposedly...

KS is one wire w/a shield. Depending on where you broke it, people (including me) have used microphone cable/wire to replace it.

regardless...the code is 22. BUT that is the 'stored code'. Read the above link to get the ACTIVE/current codes. ...and grab a 12mm socket, long extender and remove the KS and check for cracks and/or wiring issues....the wiring also fails on these oldies - where they connect to the harness. And Why ...

+1 on the knock sensor to the top of the bellhousing....but I also was having other issues (later diagnosed as a cracked ringland) that probably were the main issue - stock block. But moving it allowed the RT to work better. I'd think this would be more 'noted' on here if it were a common issue w/fo...

you've checked the Voltage @ the MAF wiring? Probably could use a resistor (?) to lower to the 5V or whatever it should be. What does Wiring Trim mean? Merged harness?

Yeah...good work. :smt023 I wonder if the FSM would be for the following year? Was '96 a transition year for the JDM/EDM/AUDM versions? I have NO experience w/either COP nor the next gen of the EJ20xx ('96+ EJ20K ?). But if the FSM's are translated, would that explain some of the errors? Or just 'hu...

Getting stale and I think I answered this elsewhere, so ignore if ' a repeat'. I assumed that phase II transmissions were in cars with phase II engines. True. '99 was both engines and trans. Tangent: The '99 Legacy OB/GT was a weird one w/a Phase 2 shortblock,Phase 1 DOHC heads and electronics and a...

Did you buy the 4-2 ignition converter w/your EJ20G ECU or DIY the ignitor?

Found it.

Good job...I may have a TCU.....been awhile since I checked my stash...let you know tomorrow.

Ok...final post as this is getting too confusing. I'm only familiar w/doing a complete strut swap..rear top hats as needed...none of this spring swapping. I've put both COMPLETE '96-'99 OB and '98-'08 Forester struts (and finally WRX struts) on a '90 Legacy wagon. I ALSO did the 'ghetto' install on ...

Ah, er....Um....not really.......Sorry I'm not clear. I'd request you do some more searching on this as it's covered - USMB is a good option. The 205/60R-15 OB tire diameter/height is about 2" more than the 195/60R-15's on the SS. Unless, i'm missing something, the spring perch on the OB/Forest...

I didn't state you could use your stock spring. Why is that important?
And not sure you can as it'll likely be too short and won't fit/hold up the top hat.

Well...hopefully you'll get more qualified responses....I'm out of ideas for now.

Per the Revtronix Manual you're also running the JECS MAF, correct? STAGE 2 The Stage 2 chip is intended for vehicles with intercooling and mild turbo upgrades. Peak boost is increased to 14 psi (16+ psi in Power Mode) for a major increase in performance without a loss of fuel economy. STAGE 2 – REC...

As I have no clue what your setup includes or has been: - More clarification: Did you run this w/the RT successfully? Otherwise, how do you know the the 550's worked w/OUT the Rev chip? - If you swapped in the 550's AND the Rev chip, you're using the '92+ NA rails, correct? Your 550's were tested b4...

If the OF never changes, then something's messed up....seems that issue is documented on here somewhere....

And I can't recall...does the chip fit in a 'holder' that then plugs into the ECU? If so, I'd double-check that ALL the pins on the chip are properly inserted and the holder is 100%. edit: found pics in this THREAD - And you've tried it w/both the Normal and Power switches?

Mike Tracy?

Actually, I can type a lot better than text.
- Just to be clear - you wrote that with NO CHIP it idles @ -16 on the boost gauge and RUNS PERFECT, correct?

- Your Ej22T is 100% stock? I wonder if the Chip is for 440/480cc injectors?

- edit...you have the revscan SW...

So....it drive's OK w/OUT the chip installed? What does 'driving like crap' mean? 50-100 miles for 'optimum setup' but it should drive OK after letting it warm-up @ idle and then drive it semi-normally for a few minutes >>> no full-throttle or heavy boost sessions. Go take Highway 410 to Crystal and...

I got a little upset when the duty C solenoid swap didn't work. I threatened to sell the SS but I have since come to my senses.

Good answer....I still regret selling my '93 SS.

Good luck w/the diagnostic...sounds like you've got it covered.

VERY unlikely you can still by this new. You'll have to pull one out of '90-'94 NA/Turbo @ a Salvage/Wrecking yard. Sedan or Wagon will work depending on what all you need. You might get away w/the '95-'99, too. STI/WRX likely won't fit, but I don't know for a fact....but it might be close enough w/...
