  1. Since you treated the word "data" as a plural, which is correct, I'll try to help here:) The STI block has a lot of bolts. You will have to be much more specific if you want help. Also, most people here are into older Subarus. You may have better luck with IWSTI.com or NASIOC.com. The difference, of course, is that people here do a lot more of their own work and care a lot less about shiny things. What turbo are you using in this build? Jacob
  2. I was thinking the same thing:lol: OP: When did this start happening, and did you change anything around the same time? Did you swap the CTS with a new one or another used one? Jacob
  3. I went through a few clutch kits with my EJ swap. What I found worked best was a dealer XT6 kit. The EA82 stuff didn't work quite right with the SJR adapter. I know it may break the budget, but it worked for me. Jacob
  4. IBTL? I've had good luck with EMPI axles handling the Frankenmotor. Just make sure you buy them from a good dealer. Jacob
  5. Rallitek sells an intake for cars of that vintage. You should ask them if nobody here has any other ideas. If you're looking for something pretty, that is. I know this isn't an answer to your question, but if you're looking for power, then the first thing you should do is cams from Delta. The hp/$ ratio is unbeatable. Jacob
  6. Ok. I was thinking about the front only, and I was thinking the same thing as far as making the wheels stay in further since you're already changing everything else. Jacob
  7. Don't the gold Brembos imply that it is STI suspension under there? Or lots of fabbing, I suppose. Jacob
  8. I had a doctor appointment yesterday, so I have to catch up on work and such today. I was planning on going to this, but I doubt I'll get out on time. Jacob
  9. Outback Auto is pretty well respected in the newer Subaru community. I've seen good things about their exhaust work on NABISCO lately. As for the clutch thing, I had similar issues using a normal EA82 clutch. I swapped to a dealer XT6 clutch, and now I'm happier. The tiny difference in specs seems to matter, or at least it did for me. It's hard to be scientific about it, though, since I change things on it all the time. Jacob
  10. True, but I'd like to point out that I have 2 things they don't have. One of them is an actual desire to be the Chairman:grin: Jacob
  11. Believe me. I've been thinking about that for years now. Jacob
  12. Only 7 events this year? Any fewer than that, and it sort of negates me moving so much closer. Jacob
  13. Thanks for posting this. Any additional pics of your progress on the tranny mount would be appreciated. Also, have you considered using the EJ crossmember with different holes drilled into it? Jacbo
  14. Ed, Did anyone ever figure out if the local ORG events count for anything? I know people were going back and forth over it. Jacob
  15. I have an EJ25 block in my Brat. It has your redrilled flywheel and adapter plate hooked up to a 5-speed D/R. That should answer your questions. Jacob
  16. That's what I thought when I ordered it. That's what it ended up being. Jacob
  17. Can I use both turbo kits and get twice as much power? Seriously, Addco is a fairly legitimate company, and I'm happy with my purchase. That their products are sold on eBay (and other places) shouldn't keep anyone from buying something of theirs. Jacob
  18. I'd venture to say that the Addco front is sturdier than an EA81 turbo front. They make one for the rear too, but I have a Whiteline rear, so I never went for the Addco one. If you get one, I'd be interested in your impressions. Jacob
  19. I doubt I'll ever be totally happy with the suspension on this thing, but I'd say the upgraded swaybar helped. It's hard to be totally scientific, though. I went from stock, to EJ22 without front swaybar, to EJ22 with front swaybar. It certainly made a difference over having no swaybar at all, but it's hard to tell how much of an improvement it made over the stock one, since I also swapped engines around the same time. One thing to note for your setup is that the Addco swaybar goes below the exhaust, so you'll have to be crafty with your exhaust setup if it's not stock. Jacob
  20. I have an Addco front swaybar on my EA81 Brat, so at least you know they exist. You can also get them on Summit or Jegs. I forget which one. Jacob
  21. The parking brake on EA81s only goes to the front two calipers. I'm a little surprised that one of those lines breaking would ruin your calipers, but then, I've never had my cable break, so I wouldn't really know. Jacob
  22. Wow. $1,400 sounds about right for a shop, but if I spent that much on wiring, it'd be a PerfectPower standalone with launch control:cool: I'm not sure if Shean did his own harness or not, and I haven't seen him around in a while. Your best bets are Numbchux or GeneralDisorder. Jacob
  23. What he said is total BS, but I'm not surprised. When will your friend visit you? He may still have time to order from Rockauto or a good Subaru parts place like subarugenuineparts.com. Jacob
  24. I have the Bellevilles and bolts as well. How do you plan to handle the different spline counts between the diff and the axles of an old Subaru? Jacob
