Need a short block DOHC 2.5 from 96-99 located in the chicago area. I have intake and heads for it, just need a good block and componets.

it was cometic gasket inc, they were about 105 for the pair, and they can be order in whatever thickness you want. like i said before, they are design for using a 2.5 block with 2.2 heads

i was looking at dohc ej25

Do the JDM engines have a higher output then the american motors? tried searching for it but couldn't seem to find any answers on it, so i'm sorry if there are alot of post regarding this. Anyone know where i can find the outputs of the JDM engines?

i got the 2.5 bottom end with my 90 2.2 top, i got some thicker gaskets from a company in Ohio, but they were made for the swap as well, they line the water jacket holes up better. I just ran 93 in it and it was fine. Only problem i had was the oil pump in the 2.5 wasn't up to pair and after 6 night...

I'm a idiot, i did have the arrow pointing towards 12 o'clock instead of 3. I never even saw the hash mark. Thats what i get for having tunnel vision. Fixed that and bumped the starter and it fired right up with no problems. As for it running, my old 2.2 was a good motor, when i pulled it tho both o...

My engine wont start and I can't figure out why. I will do my best to explain everything i have done so far. I started out with a bone stock 90 legacy with an auto 2.2. I picked up a 96 2.5 out of a legacy. I replaced all the seals on the bottom end of the 2.5 then i bolted on my 2.2 heads, timing s...

how easy is the tuning software to use? I have good computer skills, but no hands on tunning, just only what i have read online about it.

How hard was the tuning, I dont have much experience with it, but i was hoping it was easy enough to pick up rather quickly. I have alot experience with wiring, so that wouldn't be a problem.

I'm looking into getting a Perfect Power 6 for my subie, but I wanted to get some opinions of people that have it already.

MPG is not a worry, it isn't a daily driver, my car spends most of its time running between 4500 and 6200 RPMs

now will my 2.2 ecu run the 2.5 if i dont swap the heads and intake? I wanted to pull my stock motor, drop in the whole 2.5 and then i'll have a backup motor if i ever blow it up.

for what i'm doing with my car, it has to be N/A. Plus i don't know anything about turbos. If i did swap the 2.5 in, would my stock 2.2 ecu run it, or would i have to swap the wiring harness as well? Sorry for all the questions, i tried searching but i found mostly things about head swaps, not whole...

Now if i got a 96 legacy 2.5, will that swap in place of the 2.2? will the trans hook up? exhaust manifolds?

I'm getting ready to start collecting parts to do a rebuild, but I can't seem to find anywhere that sells higher performance engine parts for a 2.2 N/A.

This is my first subie build, so if anyone has some ideas or tips for my build, let me know.

Does anyone have the weights of different rims? I'm trying to find the lightest alloy rims available in 14in. I would also like to know what the stock 14in steel rim weighs to see the difference. Thanks for any help I get.

what all have you done to it? What size tires you run? I'm trying to come up with new ideas for my car, I think i hit the limit on what i can do to make it faster.

I got a suby I run as well, car is into it's third year. In fact it is the only car at my track that has ran for three years in a row. Only problems i have with it is that the weight of the car will eat up the right front tire real quick. Took home the win in my second race ever http://img479.images...

I see some people that were using the MSD DIS, are those worth the money? What all do I need in order to install this?

I have a stock 2.2 N/A in my 90. I have a lightweight crank pully and thats it, i plan on sending my cams to delta for a regrind, but i would still like a little more out of it. I would perfer not to be swapping heads or pulling the motor and completely rebuilding it. Is there anything else that is ...

Has anyone put a venom 400 control module on their car? It is the only computer related aftermarket chip/programer that i found. Just wondering how much of a difference it made and if it was worth it.

It has to be a fwd 4 cyl N/A that is suppose to be all stock but the tech department sucks ass there so there are alot of guys cheating

in my class, it has to be fwd

sweet car man! Why did you choose a legacy for circle track? Although i don't know anything about circle track, has the legacy platform been working well for you? -max Thanks, the car originally belonged to my buddy's girlfriend's brother. Since I help build my buddy's car, he bought the legacy for...

I race this 90 N/A fwd on a 3/8 mile paved circle track. Right after it got painted and stickered http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/1659/2172006064uq6.jpg This is before i got it painted, its nice to have weight to throw around http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/5071/2172006057xg6.jpg This is after t...

Why do you want a stiffer right side, than left? The job of the suspension is to keep your car settled and balanced as well as possible, at any speed. By designing instability into your suspension, it's almost like multiplying by odd numbers; you're not going to come out even, no matter what. Hence...
