Thanks. I'm gonna pick one of those up and save an EJ22T harness from the knife.

Excuse me, got my terms confused there. Corrected: caster. Ok so obviously axles, umm what about tie rods and ball joints? There were several threads about it on Nasioc and they mentioned that the bushing is wider by about 3mm and it can just be trimmed for use on the Legacy turbo subframe. Or you c...

Jamal, I assume that STI control arms would be the same fitment as the WRX control arms. Would it be just as easy as axles, swaybar endlinks, and tie-rod ends? Or would you need to sway like the whole steering rack? Would the ball joints work or would you have to switch hubs too?

Product in question: https://www.subarugenuineparts.com/product_info.php?products_id=1194 From what I read on Nasioc, 04-06 (not 07) STI aluminum control arms are the same as Spec-C and they give you more positive caster vs the standard WRX aluminum control arms. I want to switch to the aluminum con...

Nice find indeed! I was dreading the thought of hacking into my stock harness. Which one did you buy? The only 90-94 Legacy harness is for EJ20G, does that fit the EJ22T ECU? This thread has given me so much inspiration. Slodrive you are full of innovation. We should get together some day and see wh...

Impregacy, your plan will work but it won't be as easy as you might think. I don't know how easy you think it is, but it's always harder than you think. I will be very interested to track your build and I look forward to your success!

You could get a cat-back but that means money.

Are you asking if you can do something for free?

You can de-snorkel your intake + K&N filter and make it louder.

Wow that's cool! LOL I had no idea you could do that. Those are some pretty good numbers too.

I totally respect the MS people. Subaru's are different cars and attract a different crowd of tuner's, that's one reason I can think of why MS isn't more popular. It seems like more people are willing to just plop down the cash for a Link or some other mainstream standalone. I can't blame the guys d...

Cool! I definitely want. Sending PM.

Wow that is insanely frustrating. You were just fishing!!! Someone just finished telling me a story of what they did for their weekend and this is what it involved: Going to the club and throwing beer bottles off of the top balcony into the dance floor on people. He lied about that one to the manage...

LOL nice story! Being a frequent customer of Autozone CV axles I've never had a problem, but I do realize they are lower quality. I guess they just machine out used CV axles and install bigger bearings. There is no hardening or coating on the axles to make them stronger or last longer so they wear o...

Hopefully your oil filter would catch any debris that could clog the oil squirter. If there is something big enough to clog that then you will have problems with other parts of your engine like lifters for one!

Thanks Blackbart.

Really anything is possible. The fitment is the same for our cars as it is for any other Subaru. So you could bolt up a turbo from a WRX (TD04) or an STI (VF34/VF39) but there are a number of other things you would need to change to make it work. You could even go with a rotated turbo, or a custom t...

I do my own alignments because I have experienced that shops, even with their laser alignment racks, can't do as good of a job as I can with a measuring tape, bubble level, and my trusty spanner. It just takes some hard work and know how.

I've asked around before but been unable to find out what the difference is between the EJ22T and the JDM exhaust manifold. You obviously have both, do you mind satisfying my curiosity? I'm possibly interested in buying one, does it come with the crossover pipe too?

Wow all those graphs just blew my mind. I have no idea what's going on.

This happens a lot. I've heard of it before. Mine were all in somehow when I checked them. Some people just take them out and cap the holes when they rebuild their engines because they think that the squirters will just fall out anyway and don't really do anything. I dunno, I just kept mine. They se...

Hey you back to your thread! lol
I want to see some time sheets and dyno sheets from you soon. I've been in Iraq as long as you've been building your car and you've only got 3 months left of me over here to finish your car. After that I'm coming home and beating you with any means necessary.

Why would it need tuning if this is a staged chip? You shouldn't need any tuning so any dyno will due. I'd be willing to put down $5 on it.

Yeah all my cylinder block bolts had the washers and they wouldn't come off or separate. My O-rings were too large also and they kept falling out when I tried to put the block halves together so I just used some of the "right stuff" on the o-ring to make it stick in place until I got the b...

Wow nice, so without a piggyback it runs with those AFR's? Cool build man. I'm excited to see what it can do once you really tune it.
Yeah the emissions test is going to suck for me too. I don't know how I'm going to pass lol.

PP6 is pretty popular for OBDII cars but if you look up threads where people tried to use it on a BC Legacy withan OBDI ECU you'll see a lot of issues with misfires and random bucking. E-Manage Ultimate is popular too, although more expensive. It seems to work better with the OBDI ECU'sthough. The m...

Yes there are still benefits to using a piggyback with the chip. The chip just alters the base map or program of the car and some variables that are internal and cannot be adjusted by the piggyback. An example would be cranking pulsewidths ie; how much fuel is injected on startup. Also things like t...
