Ill ask my buddy who rebuilt a factory forged pistons ej20k block, which rings he used. That engine went into silenc3r's SS, and he didn't have issues with oil burning or consumption. I had an ej20k back in the day too, I had it inspected by a good machine shop, and they said the cylinders were out ...

I don't think anyone here knows the answer to the ring question. The ej20k's came with forged or cast pistons, and I believe I read those had different rings depending on piston material.

Where are you located

Love those wheels! Nice car overall. The wisecos definitely slap a bit till they warm up, id have to warm up my car next to a JE built motor for a fair comparison though.

Ahh. I know literally nothing about ej20k electronics. Sorry bud

Are you running any ej20k electronics? Or is it an ej20k long block with ej20g electronics? or?

I don't think you'll be able to tap it with the rod in there, but you accurately described how to access it

I think you need to retap the hole, or block them all. I don't think it would be a good idea for unrestricted oil to be dumping in one cylinder. The "other" closed deck ej22, from the 22b, didn't have oil squirters. You can still reuse the head gaskets as long as they haven't been used in ...

To clarify, the WRXLink Ver 1/2 doesn't plug into the ej20g ecu, it is a complete plug-in standalone that fits inside the ecu case. The ESL requires an ej20g ecu to plug into. With either solution, they come with the software to tune from your laptop. You'll need an "evoscan" USB cable to ...

Aside from the robtube or straight ej20g ECU, there are other plug and play options for you, such as the ESL (it requires an ej20g ECU to plug into) and the Link WRXLink Ver 1/2. Those are fully tunable solutions that let you use any size injectors, different MAFs, different MAPs, etc. I am running ...

Automatic turbo cars have a "dropping resistor" that has the same plug as the bcs, so by plugging or wiring that in you can get rid of the code. The ECU will need the MAP when you use the metal maf. Can't tell you about the new FA engines, but all ej turbo ecus rely on both the MAP and MAF...

Yay! Glad it worked

On Rob's site in the comments, he says:

No jumper is 440cc, jumper in position 1 is 550cc.

I don't have any experience with the new robtune boards, as I had the old school eeprom chip for mine. How old is your o2 sensor and coolant temp sensor? Your vacuum and afr readings sound in the ballpark of where you want to be.

So if I read through this correctly, I could upgrade the front brakes of my 94 turbo wagon to 06-07 4 pots, and leave the oem brakes in the rear and the biased would be okay? Based on the brake math spreadsheet, you are moving brake torque less than 1% rearwards, I'd imagine you wouldn't even feel ...

I got confirmation that the robtune ignition converter does not need a modified ignitor.

I say this with love, but we maybe get 1-2 posts a week on the BBS. I'm feeling that most enthusiasts are on Facebook and that's where you should be marketing imported parts (and posting the link here of course!) I am personally looking for a 3rd gen legacy scooped hood (Rev C, not revision D, won't...

Negetive, the 1992-98 NA maf is what the robtune calls for. It is the same as the MAF that came with ej20g engines. Question for you Meatball, do you have an igniter that has been modified to go with your ignition converter? I don't know if it is or isn't necessary with Rob's device, but I had one w...

Are you installing the belt with all the idler bearings installed? I leave the bottom one on the passenger side off when I install the belt. After putting on the belt, but before installing the last bearing, I use my breaker bar to rotate the crank towards the passenger side by several teeth. This p...

The older ej22e and the newer ej22e take the same head gasket, yes. Same part number I believe

Note that 99 and newer ej22's are not an ej22e anymore and use a different gasket.

Felpro only lists a graphite gasket for the older NA ej22e's. If you need an MLS gasket, the felpro ej22t is what you're after. Note that the graphite gaskets are tolerant of an imperfect mating surface, while the MLS gaskets are not. Also know that both the ej22e and ej22t came with graphite gasket...

Haha, no it's not that bad. It's around 3k rpm for 60mph. One comment I'll make, is with out a dccd controller installed, and due to the rear bias, this is the most dangerous Subaru trans I've ran. Absolutely no traction in the snow, ice and rain since the center diff is 100% open without a controll...

You got this! The swapping to manual alone is badass, but going with an RA trans? Be ready for brutal acceleration and terrible fuel economy, at least till you get used to it.

So I just checked the bolts for my old 98 outback, it's thread pitch for those was M12x1.25. So either the 98 Outback and 98 Impreza have different pitch (unlikely) or I had some wierd bolts that I just installed (most likely). As you can see from the pic, I helicoiled the holes since the threads we...

I'm working under my 98 impreza wagon right now. You can see how close it is to the rear bolt on the control arm
