Another busy/ successful weekend. Friday night I got my bumper pulled off and started pumping my front mount. Getting a front mount to fit with dual cam heads is a lot of fun, especially when you use 2.5" piping. After I got all the piping plumbed and loosely installed without clamps. I decided...

Well Sunday went exactly as planned. I got all of my wiring sorted out. And just as I thought I'm going to have to go a different route with my charge air cooler. I've decided I'm going to go the front mount route just to keep things clean and clutter free in the engine bay. Hopefully parts will arr...

Busy day today... i removed my ej22t. It came out pretty easy, I had it out about 20k miles ago to do head gaskets. After I got the ol pig out of there I removed the clutch and flywheel, the exhaust, wiring, cam and crank sensors, and just about everything else. My exhaust manifolds had a few rattle...

I guess we will find out Tuesday when my ECU shows up lol. I think everything should be kosher though. As for progress tonight.. I plugged up all the plumbing for the primary turbo on the 206. Also I got the my new timing belt, component kit, and water pump all installed. Kinda sad that the water pu...

Well I pulled the timing belt and the left intake cam gear, the marks look virtually identical to the 22e cam gear I have, other than the keeper pin is off a few degrees. I'm assuming this means I'm ok to run it.

Sounds great, I'm interested to see what you do about the intake manifold electronics and the difference in timing markers between the phases I'm not too concerned with any of the electrical on the intake manifold, as it's not an ACVS motor. My main concern was the IACV, or lack of a compatible one...

Well I've had my turbo legacy for about 2 years now and at 199,XXX miles I've decided it's time for some major upgrades. The previous owner had swapped a cable clutch 5MT into the car(originally an A/T car), and for whatever reason I had tons of problems with cables breaking. Some would last a week,...

Oof roger, my bad. You are correct. The link you posted is broken, or atleast it's not working for me. I was able to find the information elsewhere though. Doesn't really seem like you can go wrong with any 6mt. I think I'm going to prefer the tighter ratios of the earlier JDM STi 6mt. Looks like th...

All of the STI 6MTs have the same gear ratios regardless of the market as far as I know. 06 USDM uses a 1.1:1 center diff and I'm pretty sure it requires the use of a 3.54 rear diff. The only 6MTs with different gear ratios was for the JDM Spec B Legs and European market legacies with the H6 I belie...
