There is another thing to take into consideration with grounds and that is ground loops and they can cause real problems. When all else has been checked and the problem is weird check the grounds. As an example we had two cars one a '02 WRX the other a '00 Impreza, on both the fuel warning light wou...

5 hp sounds like a lot but some people say they think they got something out of these grounding setups. I would like to see it on a dyno and if it is true I think I would take some heavy stereo power wire, solder on some terminals and build my own. It shouldn't be very hard to come up with a diagram...

I have been using the BG oil for about 35,000 miles and have no problems at all. When I first heard about this I had the same question about the diff and someone pointed out to me that the BG oil was recommended by BG for cars with tranny-diff units that shared the same oil supply. An inquiry to BG ...

The drivetrain should take it easily I have a modified EJ22t in my '95 Impreza at about 250 hp and have had no problems with the drive train at all despite my obsession with going after WRX's and things of that sort. I do have a light flywheel and ACT clutch but am using a stock 2.5RS disk with a 3:...

I should have the information on the electronics on Monday it is being faxed to me by a servicer in Singapore. He has expressed a desire to become a dealer of our products so I should be able to get more information on the engine.

I thought that the valves were starting to float but I now am pretty sure that I was running out of fuel. The engine was a 2.2 in a '87 3 door coupe and all it had was a RX fuel pump. The 1.8 likes to rev even better so I thought that a 1.6 would be a screamer.

What is suprizing to me is that The EJ22t shortblock in the 450+ hp impreza is taking 30lb boost and is lasting! Whatever those pistons are made of must be pretty tough. The last thing to give a problem is the rear crossmember it is twisting from all the power and the diff is tilted. AL(CO) al@iwtu....

We don't have a WRX tank around the only complete WRX motor we have ever had went into a airplane complete. I think I looked at doing such a thing and for some reason dicided it wouldn't work or wouldn't work well. Besides anything connected with a WRX seems to go for big bucks used or new. We do ha...

EJ22t probably the best all around, if you want about the same power use a Liberty intercooler and crank up the boost for a lot more power use '98 Impreza DOHC heads add fuel and more boost.

I will have to agree that Subaru does weird things the 95-96 Legacy is an example all they did was flip the connections over left to right for no gain.
This Impreza has been converted to a EJ22 n/a engine and they are trying to get a diagram for me.

If anyone should come across any information on this I would also like to know the Bore and stroke, if it is a de-stroked 1.8 I might want one or at least the crank. I have a set of mechanical adjustable roller rocker arms and with better valve springs I would try and get it to 10,000 rpm the best I...

Not sure about the plugs the car is in Singapore and I thought it would be nice to have the diagram if possible. I wonder if it may be the same ECU as the EJ18.

The biggest problem with the stock tank besides not fitting is that they break and if it's not broken or leaking just wait it will. We have a Aluminum tank with different fittings that will fit and it takes care of the breaking issue also.

Anyone have a diagram or ECU wiring info on a EJ16 motor? I am selling a chip on one and want to check the wiring.

Word is that they were running 7lbs boost at low altitude and I do mean were the engine blew. 7lbs on a n/a engine is asking for trouble. The kit that is being built here in CO probably is a bit nicer it is being installed now.

Hey Rod lets get together and talk about the good ol'e days. Today is my birthday and I am 65. First car was a '37 Ford V8/60 many since then including a inherited '58 Porsche that got me hooked on imports A Porsche 550 spyder two Ferrari's back to Detroit for a few vette's but now it is a '95 Subar...

A larger BOV will work better than a small one especially at high boost this is because that being larger it can handle more air in a given time. The forge valve also has different springs available for it. Mine is a earlier model with a plastic piston that is sticking and they are replacing it. If ...

Well if the USA is so terrible why is it that almost everyone wants to be here? Like the people who hijacked the Cuban plane this morning? I guess that it is hard to understand this until you see people running across a minefield under machinegun fire to get to freedom. I think it is rather tragic t...

Something has probably happened to make the accelerator cable tight, there should be a little slack in the cable. I would check the cable where it is connected to the cams that operate the throttle plate. Or possible motor mount ? This would let the motor move a bit and the cable might be tight from...

From what I understand some valves will leak, probably due to the type and construction because they have optional springs available. I have run 20lbs and don't see any difference from the Bosch valve and the Forge valve with a red spring that someone said I should have.

I have fought the synchro problem in four different Subies over a period of 13 years and there is only one oil that will help the problem and that is BG Synchroshift a bit pricy but I had spent enough money on other oil that I should have had my own well.

The little hose goes to the manifold and opens the valve when the manifold goes to vacuum. I have two of the stock valves and one Bosch valve with 1" fittings for sale if anyone is interested.

They should fit we have installed WRX headers on a Impreza and Legacy headers on a WRX please don't ask how this situation came about it just did and they fit.

Not really what you could be doing is sucking a lot of dirt onto the engine, circulating it through the moving parts and then filtering it out of the oil decreasing the capabilities of your oil filter. Also I have seen some of the cheaper filters shed chunks that allow even more dirt into the intake...

I had read about that and it seems to be another case of an improvement causing a problem maybe this is why some mods trigger more. But this was an Audi and some of the German ECU's seem to be a little behind the times as far as I can tell. What I eventually did was build my own MAF that was larger ...
