Who did the coating? How much?

Splinter · Post by **Splinter** » Mon Apr 23, 2007 8:50 pm

KOOL Coat Ceramic Coating in Langley, BC

Theres a local shop here that facilitates getting it done (they ship it off for you, etc) which makes it super easy

Cost $160 CAD for all three pieces, inside and out, with their highest-temp coating (the high temp stuff is only availible in black and chrome)

Threadjack...

It's not just sitting. It's waiting in line for it's turn. I actually put the Ej25 up on the stand yesterday that is going to be built for the SC. It's going to happen sometime in the coming future. If you have further questions, pm me /threadjack

Splinter,

Those manifolds look awesome...

Did you have to clean up those headers first or did they do that, too?

What was the turn around time for the coating?

Splinter · Post by **Splinter** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 3:05 am

I used some engine cleaner to take the oil and gunk off, but thats it

Turnaround was about a week and a half

Need to bend up some custom fuel and coolant lines

Matt Monson · Post by **Matt Monson** » Thu May 10, 2007 11:26 pm

Steve,
I can help you with that. I've got a new age WRX coolant crossover pipe that is for the under manifold inlet pipes. I will ship it to you as partial payment on the wiring...

Splinter · Post by **Splinter** » Fri May 11, 2007 4:14 am

That'd be brill, thanks

Matt Monson · Post by **Matt Monson** » Fri May 11, 2007 4:30 pm

I will ship it on Monday. Try to let me know today if there are any other niggling little parts you are looking for and I can send them as well. I forgot to look into that IAC thing for you. If I can find that pipe, I will include it as well...

Splinter · Post by **Splinter** » Sat May 12, 2007 1:49 am

any spare hardware you have at all would be useful (nuts, bolts, studs, etc)

I dont really get it, Ive taken apart 4 subaru engines, but I always seem to be missing hardware!

Splinter · Post by **Splinter** » Fri May 25, 2007 3:20 am

You sure know how to make person jealous.

Thats awesome, your motor looks great, I bet it will run like a top too. This is a great build thread. Well done.

It only took me 2 weeks, but you will have that coolant crossover pipe on Monday...

Splinter · Post by **Splinter** » Wed May 30, 2007 4:29 pm

haha awesome thanks

Splinter · Post by **Splinter** » Thu May 31, 2007 6:25 am

This should make the engine stand out a little more

Splinter · Post by **Splinter** » Fri Jun 01, 2007 6:28 am

Im in need of major spiritual guidance guys

Im not sure if I can get the shortblock finished off in the time alloted, however I have a fully built EJ22T shortblock with Wiseco pistons in it.

Should I use the EJ22T shortblock with the RS-RA heads, or keep building the EJ20G?

The major problems Im having with the 20G are the piston rings, they're all out of spec...

555BCTurbo · Post by **555BCTurbo** » Fri Jun 01, 2007 8:20 am

My vote is keep the RS-RA motor RS-RA...

But do what ye must do

Splinter · Post by **Splinter** » Fri Jun 01, 2007 8:30 am

I agree. Besides, an extra 10% displacement isnt going to make up for the 1.4 point drop in compression

Piston #1 is done... this isnt SO bad, I suppose.

Plus I love the idea of having a 20G engine with a 20G turbo

Matt Monson · Post by **Matt Monson** » Fri Jun 01, 2007 3:55 pm

I vote RS-RA. IF you don't use it, I am driving up there and taking it all back from you.

One note on the crossover pipe. It's a USDM WRX pipe. You will need to drill and tap a second hole in it for the second coolant sensor. They changed from 2 sensors down to 1 for the modern cars...

Splinter · Post by **Splinter** » Fri Jun 01, 2007 4:05 pm

I was wondering about that.

Cant adapt the 3-wire sensor to give one signal to each?

Nope, they're two completely different circuits.

NICO · Post by **NICO** » Fri Jun 01, 2007 11:17 pm
