just curious
also noticed no intercoolers,we got the 240hp model with waic

We got a EJ22 closed deck block. But the fun stops there.
SOHC heads, close to the EJ18/EJ22 ones you get. Tiny little VF11 turbo. 380cc min injectors. No intercooler.
TD04s are used alot because thats what we get on our WRXs and they are available cheap.

Not until 2002 when we (finally) got a WRX. Then we passed you all in 2004 when our STI came to us with a 2.5

Your cars had the same 360cc injectors as us AND 80 more CHP (not wheel HP)?
Are the injectors pink?
Apparently the 360's have more headroom than I've read about.
What MAF did yours have?

They measure injectors a bit differently. I believe they use a different standard pressure.
They got the 440cc grey tops.
Also, I misstated ours as 380 in my above post.

MAF = Mass Airflow sensor also known as AFM or Airflow Meter. Just reads how much air is being pumped through the engine.

Yeah, that's the ones I figured you had.
For some reason we call the grey tops 440s. And the yellow tops 480s. Nobody seems to know why. What pressure do you run your test stands at? There are a few threads on Nasioc about it.
