Drivers head gasket was bad and both cylinders had cracks between spark plug and intake valves. Explains a lot. What causes this? Over tightened plugs?

Re: ej22 na turbo help pls

What kind of issues might i run into swapping in a 22t block. Keeping the ej22e heads? Compression ratio wise and boost wise? I picked up a running 22t with 127000km on the clock. Suggestions on what to do with what i have? I also have a north american market wtx 2.0 shortblock with 155000km.

looks like just a passage clearancing issue on the turbo gaskets. any one try drilling, or clearancing these?

92 legacy na auto slipping

Re: ej22 na turbo help pls

Mine is a single baby girl hauler, and my wife refined her standard skills on my LW flywheel/Stage 1 clutch :) But if you really think staying auto is the way you want to go, moving to a 4.44 automatic is probably a good move. The somewhat newer (up to 98? outbacks and I think the Legacy 2.5GT also...

Picked up a holley variable rising rate fpr. I have the plate tuning done. Now for the diaphram bleed tuning. Its basically a main jet. U drill out to fine tune. But i realized it bleeds metered air at boost. And is a vacuum leak when not on boost. I think this needs to be routed back the the air in...

Re: ej22 na turbo help pls

I would say try for it, since you shouldn't need to remove the turbo to swap actuators. Even if it's not a direct bolt-on, you should be able to find a way to fit it on there. IIRC the VF-11 actuator should allow you to run about 2psi lower than the TD04's. Awesome!! Will try. I can use the mbc to ...

Re: ej22 na turbo help pls

It looks like you have a manual boost controller. Have you tried unhooking it to run wastegate boost? That will be the lowest boost you can achieve on the turbo without replacing the wastegate actuator with a lighter (lower pressure) one. But running N/A with high compression, you're to have lightn...
