Folks should buy the $150 JDM WRX ALL Aluminum Radiators from CX Racing.

They will drop right into a Legacy Turbo + they are not plastic...

I have also been running a ghetto turbo'd 100% stock Phase II ej22e since '04 simple to do.... If your ej22e is dual port don't even bother with swapping heads to Turbo Legacy heads as they do not have roller rockers & have 1MM smaller valves (?-Exhaust) so they'll be a slight downgrade. I'd thi...

Funny, When I compared my CX-Racing core to my Spearco core that was 1/2 the size & 8 times the price they looked exactly the same...

I dumped the Spearco soon after.

I knew that Actuator was fine, enjoy the boost.

I think folks may be saying N/A cable tranny because Legacy versions should be 4.111 final drive. You can convert a N/A cable tranny to hydro all you need is the N/A slave cyl off a Rs, & the hydro T/O bearing fork. You already have the pedals & master. But You'll need a N/A flywheel & c...

I think you said the actuator boost level was 9psi & the MBC was not increasing boost.
If so I'd think something was wrong with the MBC connections if the actuator was boosting properly on its own.

Nice core Dan!

Is it the 12x31x3 CX Racing /Just Intercoolers core?

I've gone to Back to Autometer as I got a electronic Boost gauge (Model# 5777) pretty cheap & I needed a boost gauge for the wife's soon to have a little boost OBS. The VDO I just took out of my OBS-t is still working PERFECTLY & will go into the wife's OBS in the next few days. I hope it wo...

Cool

Bolt ons that are cheap & will free up a few HP are K&N Drop in filter ($50 or less) Light Weight Crank Pulley ($60 Group A pulley) Synthetic diff oil ($20 or less - I used Redline 75W90) These 3 things should free up about 10 crank HP & all give a noticeable acceleration improvement (as...

The kit looks like a GC8 FMIC kit.

I used the one from CXracing on my SS.

+1 I love the 5 spoke wheels!

Cams look tempting.... How bad is the lope (I know you said slight) as I'm thinking about these for the wifes car. I got her to go along with a low boost all OEM spare parts motor + her 4eat & I can't have any stoplight stalls or rpms creep/flutter. Are the ARPs good for just phase I sohc motors...

For the sake of keeping folks pistons in 1 piece more fuel will be needed to run 20psi, but the actuator will not care....

+1 with the above, Meth injection or some form of intercooling (FMIC, TMIC, H2O-O2...)) is suggested!

With 9:1 compression, even if you ran an ecu temp sensor wire and pinned it out, you're going to have problems. Once the turbo ecu sees that the knock sensor is going crazy it will pull timing until your car was slower than it was before. Stock 22ts are on an extremely conservative tune and will al...

Good job!

Sorta reminds me of my SS....

(The Crimson Red Pearl one with the FMIC on a ej22t first & then a EJ20G)

I've held 20psi on a ported 16G - no issues with the actuator...

My TD05 had to be machined but I used a TD05-14B off an Eclipse as a donor (which I believe is flatbacked) since they are cheap, share the same turbine wheel with the TD05-16G, & fit right into Subaru TD05 e-housings. I'm having the turbo clipped & fresh oil seals put in while everything is ...

Like I said in the other ITB post WRX TGV's can be modded & turned into ITB's with injector bosses CHEAPLY. The TGV's bolt right onto Phase II SOHC MAP Subaru motors, MAP sensor can be fed through a barb fitting behind the throttle plate, TPS mount will have to be fabbed. An adapter plate could ...

I thought of ITBS for a Subaru as WRX TGVs can be converted to ITBs complete with injector bosses super cheap & bolt right onto Phase II MAP cars.

What size was the tap you used for the captive bolt - My Whiteline Rear-subframe lockbolts will not thead in....

Now would be the time to get rid of the rust on the x-members & trailing / lateral arms - POR 15!

Not sure what you are trying to say/ask, but you can put a 20G wheel/housing on a 16G no problem. The backplate may have to be machined for everything to fit (flat vs superbacked wheels) & you should have everything balanced but its not too expensive to do. I'm having a TD06-20G / TD05 Hybird bu...

I was thinking banjo bolts...
