94 legacy Turbo, Canada

94SS_Canada · Post by **94SS_Canada** » Sun Jul 06, 2008 11:18 pm

This is my Car, The moter was getting tired and after getting decent results of putting a TD04 and TMIC on it i thought i needed a change. I had bought a moter previously that was planning on going into another car, but we decided against it and put it in this one( not yet though), The body is a little rough but by no means is it unsavable.

its a Green 1994 subaru legacy Turbo, i bought it about 2months ago from an old couple, It had blown struts but a great running moter. Before even getting to the suspension somehow me and my brother came to the conclusion we had blown the turbo, well we hadent but in the end it turned out to become TD04ed and TMIC its not the first time someone had done this. Thats were legacy central came in.

I was hitting bad fuel cut and was maxing out my injectors so i got some injectors and with fatal results, They somehow flooded the moter and i believe i blew a piston ring because there was pools of gas coming out of the exhaust i did my best to fix it and we got it back to where it was previously somehow maybe the ring had re-sealed or something, only god knows.

So onto the pictures we will start from the very begining.

So i didnt Get a chance to get pictures of it torn apart. But i got some pics and videos

It took us 2 weeks to get this done, Because not only did we all had jobs but i had to wait for parts in the mail, here what it looks like when it was done

We had worked,

1st 3 hours (Tore car apart and removed turbo)
2nd 2 hours (fitted the Td04)
3rd Job
4th 3 hours (Scavenged around town for our custom intake)
5th Job
6th 4 hours (put everything back together, for the most part)
7th off
8th off
9th JOB
10th waiting for parts
11th waiting for parts
12th waiting for parts
13th Still waiting
14th Recieved TMIC
15th 2hours (Fabbed up custom elbow)
16th Off
17th 30mins Fitted TMIC
18th 3 hours Relocated coolant resoirvoir attached MBC and drove away

Moved the ignitor to the starter ground

Moved coolant resoirvoir to where a/c formerly was

WE fabed this up with some old metal, looks bad works good

And its a tight sqeeze

It took us about 2 days to do the suspension June 30th- July Second It took about 8 hours total.

Finished Suspension!

It took Us all Day to get this Far, 10 hours, 4 hours we got everything done, 6 hours later no moter out.
Is there a trick for getting these out? WEve tried everything and it just wont come off the lower two moter studs its binding on them and just wont come off!!

WE didnt know About the clutch Fork holding the tranny to moter, With some kind advise from sense of nature on Nasioc

We Got it off, But not after, Removing, the headers, intake, and Heads, We tore it down to a plain block.

The EJ22 Shortblock will be for sale shortly, it will need a new pistons but other than that its in nice shape, make an offer.

Well be taking a break on the car for a couple of Days, then get on two removing the Front bumber to Fab room for the FMIC

I found this guy posting on Nasioc and the first thing I did was direct him over here!

94SS_Canada: Glad you made it over

Is that a 99+ US EJ25?

94SS_Canada · Post by **94SS_Canada** » Wed Jul 09, 2008 5:30 am

Its An EJ22 Block, EJ25 heads and intake manifold, im not shure but i think it might be a 99+ EJ25

94SS_Canada · Post by **94SS_Canada** » Wed Jul 09, 2008 6:53 pm

Just finished cutting the bumber beam, man that was a bitch, But all i can say is large black core+ABM= TOTAL sleeper!

I thought the SOHC 2.5s had the same timing triggers as the '02+ WRX which is different than what the ej22t ECU wants to see.

I say dump the 2.5 (they do not like boost on stock pistons) & get a EJ20G.
It is the Quick & easy way to get a TD05-16G (GC8) or TD04 (GF8), 440cc injectors, DOHC heads, & a TMIC + it will run off the stock SS ECU & Sensors - no wiring.

94SS_Canada · Post by **94SS_Canada** » Thu Jul 10, 2008 5:30 am

Its not an EJ25, i take the turbo capacity of the EJ22T and the high flowing advantage of subarus heads, this isnt no N/A moter i bought it off a guy running high boost levels and he saw no problems

It will have a TD04 with a FMIC, im keeping the moter, It was built for this application

Plus im almost broke

94SS_Canada · Post by **94SS_Canada** » Thu Jul 10, 2008 5:32 am

Also im definatly not running just stock ECU, thatd be just funny, ill get something that can do what i want with an open tune than get somebody to tune it down.

BXSS · Post by **BXSS** » Thu Jul 10, 2008 1:08 pm

It looks like a phaseII SOHC out of a 4EAT from the pics, & based on my observations + my friends bad luck phaseII 2.5's blow quickly when boosted (AV0 Kits, E-manage tuned, no matter end result = blown motor...).

Good Luck.

94SS_Canada · Post by **94SS_Canada** » Thu Jul 10, 2008 5:59 pm

Good thing its not phase 2 then

Thanks for the help

94SS_Canada · Post by **94SS_Canada** » Fri Jul 11, 2008 4:57 am

So what Do you guys think about this for my build?

Im not aiming for that much power but would be nice to have for longevity and a little abuse....
