rebuild your current one ! hehe

forged rods, 350$US
forged pistons, 135$ x4
new crank + rod bearings, 100$
engine rework, 200$
new gaskets, 50$

total : ~1250$ for a fully forged shortblock

yeah at 14-15psi you definitely want to be close to 11:1 afr or lower !

i have 10 connecting rods laying around..

i could sell you them for cheap if you pay shipping

7 from 2.0l WRX, 3 from 2.2l Leg Turbo.

it is not recommended to use used pistons and rings.. as this could end in them not seating correctly and leaking oil as hell.. hehe

i think the issue with those heads would be oil feed / return + coolant feed ?

Swap completely done by now. Pics can be found there : http://public.fotki.com/morgie/morgie/obs/prep_moteur/swap_!/ also.. some little videos ;) Engine wont start.. normal, i forgot to line-up the magnets on the damper with the SDS sensor.. :\ http://www.driftquebec.com/videos/morgie/ej22t/NotStart...

Morgie - What, exactly, did you do with the engine? overbored to 97.06mm, custom spec 2618 forged alluminium pistons (www.cppistons.com) forged eagle rods ACL bearings (rods and crank) Balanced internals, crank oem ej22t head gaskets oem WRX head bolts (shortened) Legacy TT (GT) heads (ej20H 260ps ...

I've just terminated the install and did a 2hrs tuning with a wide-band O2 and EGT.. (no dyno yet) 300km done on the engine, 6psi max boost, and it's pulling hard and well, with a SDS EFI EM-3 computer. got 3 car lengths over a 1.8t jetta on a standing 0-100km run , shifting a 5000rpm, 6psi.. just t...

you canot change rod bearing without separating engine.. we tried that on my friend's engine since we didn't had the piston pin remover, but we had so separate the engine to give us some room.. without separating the engine, it's pretty much impossible. and #1 will give you a heck of a problem .. hehe

Different modules will control different things..

there will be the Injector adjustement (safc like), timing adjustment .. too

Something i lerned yesterday :

as for the Ej22g, the early version 2.0l turbo (ej20G) as found in the Liberty RS was both Closed Deck + Oil Squirters equipped.

seems like this was the "way to go" from subaru until the revision in 1994 for 1995 models.

the guys from Silicon chips / Autospeed are currently developping a Boost Controler module to go with their Digital controller . The kit will be sold 80$ AUD, and require the Digital Controller sold 60$AUD. The boost controler feature programmable boost curves that can be switched via a dashboard sw...

hummm i was thinking that no water in the engine could have prevent it to start (a protection of some kind) ..

but i remember that when i replaced my timing belt, i actually started the engine once the coolant drained to lift the car on ramps .. so that might not be your problem :\

exact.. first :

REINSTALL THE RADIATOR AND FILL IT UP QUICK !!!

this one was funny

Wow ! because i didnt' kew that existed till now ..

but i guess making a "parallel" setup with that will be harder .. :\

well, it looks like top-fed injectors are all pretty much the same, so you could make the seats already, (i'll give you some numbers this evening), and also have the fuel-rails bored to the correct size with the injectors. the injectors are 4.5" appart from each others, and the ID of the hole f...

What exactly are you referring to when you say "one minor adjustment is needed for the diameter of the injectors"? Different size drill bit? Hole punch? Grinding? Well, i'll take the rails to a machine shop to drill a hole the exact size of the injector top .. so they will fit perfectly :...

The rails are parallel to each other, with a T .. like you said, and like the setup Perrin sells (for +450$ USD) I made the rails myself with a press drill.. the 2 aluminium bars cost me 5$ total, the brass fittings 10$, one drill bit, 7/16" dia : 12$, one Tap to make NPT 1/4" fillets, 12$...

I don't remember if the sockets were buyable or was custom made for side-fed Blitz injectors.. but eater case, it's a very simple item any machine-shop doing aluminium work can do :) and .. as far as i know, and according to my researchs, Top-fed injectors are much cheaper than side-fed ones.. So, a...

on the WRX, the injectors rises up to 120% Duty cycle :) you can buy a little socket adaptor that slip into the injector socket, and then uses the Blitz 850cc .. or the nismo 550cc injectors found on SR20DET will "fit" (may need the socket) Or you can do like i did, and make some adaptors,...

after some few problems.. i'm more close to completion..

Welll. today i went into my first "major" problem... i thought the left Legacy TT head was identital to a single-Turbo one.. but it wasn't .. the return hose that taps into the head was pretty different, and interfered with the uppipe .. while being completely incompatible with the hose on...

thanks, sleeper is my goal hehe i'll start with the SDSEFI ems-3 for the engine management, but i'll surely switch for a more elaborated one soon (at least one with a laptop connectivity to easily swap maps) My target is around 17-18psi, will depends on how the injectors will take it .. if i find ba...

Doug : hehe in fact, the rebuilt was pretty quick.. quicker than i would have expected it ! took a total of around 15hrs to get there .. on 5 evenings, that's not so bad Nice one Tawa, i forgot about this thread ! hehe the Obs changed a bit since i got it.. http://images6.fotki.com/v79/photos/1/1717...

Suby : Yup, 2.2l turbo shortblock with custom internals, the heads come from a 2.0l twin turbo legacy, but can't say the year / model. and the WRX bolts seems to be 0.5cm too long.. hehe After redooing the heads. i started reassemble the front.. still need some more gaskets and stuff.. but still goi...

as mTk said .. Simply remove the sensor with an extention, and replace.. no sealant, to water drain, no intake removal.. nothing
