A couple possibly dumb questions.........

Post by guesswho »

Quick rundown I've bought a crap load of parts to put my impreza back together but I really love my legacy and would rather just continue to build it. So here's what I'm working with I have a 100% stock EJ22T that I just put a new oilpump, waterpump, timing belt and tensioner in. I have a VF43 and 06WRX TMIC, can easily get some stock 04-06STi sidefeed injectors, have GT spec header and uppipe and a catted BPM TBE. The mechanical part isn't my problem, I'm just curious if the 06-07 TMIC is efficient enough for the VF43? I have a JECS MAF should I throw that in while I'm at it? What should I do for tuning/engine management? If i was able to get one would revtronix have something that would work for me? I have searched on here but couldn't get really a clear cut answer. Thanks guys I appreciate your help!

You're combination should work well together, mechanically. The big questions is tuning.
At the very least you'll need a RRFPR. A Robtune would likely be sufficient (for that you'd need a EJ20G ECU). Contact him to see if he has something that would work for your setup. If not, you'd likely need a standalone.
93 legacy wagon L, 22T swapped (TW imitator) now with five forward speeds. (Gone, but never forgotten)

yes, get ahold of rob. his ecu will give you like stock drivability and reliability. you should be able to get around 225-250whp on those parts id think. the limiting factors will be the sohc heads and the smaller tmic.
94 Supra Turbo 6 speed. build in progress
98 Lexus GS300, single turbo 2JZGTE swap. daily driver
93 Impreza wagon, home brewed n/a-t ken block themed winter drift missle

*sold*
94 Alpine Sport Wagon... STi conversion, rotated turbo etc

The VF-43 is not too much larger/smaller than the TD-05 that many of us are running, and the STI injectors will work with that set-up.
Like the other guys said, Rob should be able to put together a tune to allow you to run those parts.
The 06 WRX top mount will work for now, and give you between 200-250 CHP based on your tune.

Then I would get the impreza going.
Yes I have too many Subarus
No you can't have one
05 GD-STI
01- RS- Swapped-07 STI
00- GF
93 SS- "the original Robtune" (now in new hands)
