im one of the few who for the fun of it built a high performance ea82 ive spent hundreads or hours with rotary tools porting and polishing the heads and intake manifold i shaved 1/8 inch off of each side of the block and each head because i shaved so much off the block and heads i had to fab a spacer to transition the intake to the engine cause the engine is now a 1/2" shorter than stock and the intake wouldent match up custom ground the valves and laped them in polished the valve stems and ported the exhaust manifold its self custom 2" cat back exhaust all that work took thousands of hours even if i had to pay $1 a hour i couldent have afforded to pay some one else to do the work and in the end i got a engine on the edge it ran great untill it ate the bearings in the bottom end i got maybe 20k out of it and for all that work it couldent match the ej22 although its vary vary close to my ej2.2 v2 in power the big differance is the ea82m lasted 20k miles while the ej2.2v2 has been make the same power in stock form for over 300k and still going strong the gl10 turbo couldent keep up with my ea82m i built it pulled away from that gl10 hard even after some mods the ea82t couldent keep up with the ea82m now for a reality check even if you go though all the trouble to build something like this you cant get parts for it so its pointless spend thousands of dollers on something you might not even be able to get the parts to finnish building these parts were hard to find 10 years ago when i built my ea82m there 10 times harder to get now im all for going big and going boom but you might not make it to the boom part if you go that big but if you do get it on video from start to boom it would probably make a great you tube video series i would watch it lol

Thanks guys for the info again. Making a list to go through. And the tt is only in there because i got the hole tt car for $400 and it was in my budget, cheap to test the concept is even going to work And it is always my plan to go single turbo as my thread mid mount brat race says. And thing are aligning up that my old forester is getting to the end of its life and i have the semi built block to finish off. Have a goal to be at the track the beginning of next month. Many thanks doc

I didn't even think about the oil analysis. I'll get one run. I'll check the PCV valve as well, they are cheap replacement. I don't expect much from Subaru, but it's worth a shot. I just ordered the Blackstone analysis kit, I'll post the results here when I get them back. It's at the end of the oil change interval so it's good timing.
