I'm not aware of any for our years on the SOHC motors, or especially
the Turbo.

You might be able to have something fabricated for less than that,
though it's effectiveness might be questionable.

Matt, do you know of anyone else who makes these?

Yes, MRT makes them for the NA 2.2's, but again, going by what an owner of a
90 Legacy with these headers said, they are really not worth the money.

Hopefully yourself and Rod can give us a good review of them. As I said
before, I have heard mixed feelings about them but it will be nice to hear
what you guys think about the Borlas.

Headers

Post by William D. Robinson »

The dyno testing results that I have seen show that replacing the stock headers is not a good value. A lot of those "bag-of-snakes" headers either produce a power drop across the boar or screw up your low end power. Replacing the hydraulic valve lash adjusters with solid ones and going to a stand-alone ecu, adding sophisticated water injection, improving the intercooler, and freeing up the exhaust donstream of the turbo would all provide a lot better power improvement. I have WRX headers on my (USA) Legacy turbo and I gained nothing. My stock Legacy turbo headers were every bit as good as the headers on a 22B and perfectly suitable for upwards of 300bhp.

On another subject, Legacy turbo automatics are the same as SVX automatics. They share internal components with Mazda 626 cars of the same era. SVXs are notorious transmission (gearbox for our UK readers) eaters. The SVX bulletin board that is equivalent to ours recommends adding an external transmission oil cooler and filter and changing fluid regularly.

On the understeer subject, I run stock springs, and wheels with really stiff tires set to 40psi front and 36psi rear. I adjust my struts to #2 in front (softer) and #4 in rear (stiffer). I control understeer by flicking the tail and using the throttle. If you do not have at least 250bhp, an lsd rear diff will just increase your understeer

For those of you with the auto, I know for a fact that Subaruparts.com has
those SVX coolant kits for about $15 USD shipped, i'm pretty sure they bolt
up to the legacy.

(more snipage)

Is it possible to do this to the stock 2.2 Turbo SOHC heads or are you
talking about swapping them out with a complete set of solid lifter heads?

How do you like your snow tires? I ran my Blizzak WS15's last weekend at
the ice race, they are on their second season so aren't exactly "fresh" but
I managed to get fifth place in my class (out of 20 cars). Some of the
other cars seemed to have alot more traction than me
though..................
