  1. hey im in west hartford ct and i was wondering about your ej25 blocks. can you pm me a price....im not good with just throwing out a offer cuz i feel like im gunna low ball lol. i was gunna turbo my ej22 with 5psi on a td04 but idk whether i should get a bigger block to build first or what to do yet lol..... are they sohc or dohc? and single port exhaust or dual port? thanks!

  2. hey ill give you a call at some point this weekend about that hitch. its yours if u come get it :) comes with trailer light wiring too!

  3. i have a dual port header thats in great shape minus the heat shields from an ej25 but fits ej22 i was gunna port to gasket match but decided against it after starting with a dremel and really not doin much..... its yours for $10-$15 plus shipping....... pm me if your interested! -jarrid-
  4. i know theyre not very long maybe 2 inchs..... just had mine off last weekend.....i couldve measured then lol
  5. welcome! people are always willing to help here. tons of info here as well. ive heard that you can remove an engine mount and jack up one side of the engine to give yourself just enough space to get the heads off..... a buddy of mine did that to his ej25 because he didnt have a hoist to get the engine out. happy wrenchn! -jarrid-
  6. ive also read about the tcu being the problem in certain cases.......not 100% sure on this one but ive read of a couple people replacing them and the problem going away....even after replacing the duty c and checking wiring to find no faults....
  7. if its the spring im thinkn your talkin about that sits right on the edge of the case then thats the parking pin spring......hope u got it right cuz i didnt even notice that it was dislodged and my tranny ate it up..... not only did i lose park but had to take the pin out til i got a new spring cuz it hit the gears.....BAD sound. then i couldnt shift down to 321 cuz it would get stuck. when you instal the spring make sure its hooked on the parking pin and then sprung counterclockwise onto the little rut in the case. it sits there nicely as you wont see an indent to trace of it supposed to be there. good luck. ps. did you happen to pinch the wires on the duty c when putting the case back together? they do get in the way if not tucked into that little crevice they fit in so nicely.
  8. like i said i was told it was better hp with a cai....and no i wasnt stupid as to put in a hai lol....i routed it into the front bumper through the fender to its truly a cold air intake.....and the resonator on my car just looped down to the bumper and back up to the airbox so no....wasnt a cold air intake by any means. thats why i changed it. it is faster now .....just a lil bit but i do notice a difference just like i have on (almost) every car ive done that to. mostly throttle response though. its snappier. maybe te guy that told my 17 hp increase was b.s.ing me....possible but he said it came straight from a subaru dealership mechanic because the stock airbox was pretty restrictive. (so he says) when i lost bottom end it was because of my oversized (free) muffler from magnaflow 3" inlet 4.5" outlet. sounds good but lost alot of bottom end torque. at least it doesnt sound like a fart can exhaust (like a honda) -jarrid
  9. damn....i have the same wagon as you.....cept mines green like the chop top but it rains alot here so wouldnt be good for rust.....time for a little lift? some bigger tires? maybe a side exhaust? lol j/k on exhaust.....but itd be pretty sweet
  10. so yea i have the ej22 in a 95 legacy wagon...... it has like NO bottom end but all kinds of top end...... the ej22 was the best fuel injected engine they made........things a die hard! lol you can beat the piss outta these engines and they still keep kickn..... the 2.5 is bad for headgaskets and its an interference engine.....if u break a timing belt say byby to valves......the 2.2 doesnt bend valves....just slap on a new belt, set timing and your ready to go. now the 2.5 block is more boost friendly than the 2.2 (some people say) some say the 2.2 block is better...... i personally wouldnt go that route with a stock block. im happy with my ej22.....just seriously hate the 4eat! so slow! a 5 speed makes it a little peppier.......just my 2 cents oh and the best you can do for cooling intake air is a cold air intake....i was told that just removing the resonator bottle and adding a cold air intake i added 17 hp. i did notice a big difference in throttle response and 0-60 time. -jarrid-
  11. carb cleaner? brake cleaner maybe? not quite sure...... thats what i would use......unless its on anything plastic.....dont spray on plastic as it WILL melt plastic lol (been there done that) not fun! hope this helps! -Jarrid
  12. that would fit my soob! wish i had the cash! def badass!!!
  13. had kinda the same problem and couldnt trace it anywhere...... i think it was the ignition circuit where it ties in somewhere...... it would work on 1 and sometimes 4..... then it gave out.... replaced the blower motor, resister, and control assy. ended up putting it on a 30 amp circuit..... mounted a switch on the kick panel..... its pretty nice lol..... except no speed other than high.... HA....
  14. Ive heard nothing but good things about delta cams to be honest..... every board i read says great things and thats ALL they recommend. everyone makes mistakes........ btw i have a 95 legacy wagon ej22e and i put a big exhaust and cold air intake on it..... i lost lots of bottom end with the exhaust..... should i get the torque grind? and how long does it take to get them back once theyre shipped out to you guys? thanks! -jarrid
  15. isnt vtec honda? lol i dont think subarus will ever get the vtec thing goin for them..... ( i dont even know how vtec works) :/ but yea i agree 100% with the 300k miles timing chain replacment...... wouldnt be the first engine that has a timing chain that needs replacing........ and the chains are prolly WAY more expensive to buy the chain than the belt.....
  16. wondering if it has something to do with the abs assembly.......the one and only time i locked up the tires on my 95 lego it made a destinctive clunk sound ....not very loud and my pedal pulsed and stayed up from the floor..... im just wondering if it has seen its last days...... and thats @ the right front of the car.....
  17. lol yea i feel the same.....major letdown..... was hoping for a lil excitement. manchester and south and east windsor had alot of power outages. my work has no power and we're a salvage yard so we had like no work today lol. well glad to hear you wernt flooded out etc.

  18. how ya holdn up in this "hurricane"?

  19. im not exactly sure BUT i believe they do bolt right up the only difference is single/dual port headers...... 98% sure lol
  20. i wouldnt wait on the timing belt for 1 reason..... its a ej25 in that car..... if a timing belt snaps or it jumps timing your bending valves..... aka STUCK lol id get a strut lift block or whatever theyre called..... that construction mud will eat a truck alive lmao! otherwise the mileage on that car is barely anything! im not sure about the 2.5 but ive heard its still a great engine mileage wise...... i know of soobs that have 350000 miles + on them and still kickn strong as ever.... just keep up on your regular maintenance and she'll run like the day she came off the show room floor.......
  21. you from cranston mass? im not too far away in west hartford ct! first off i would go bigger on tires......well for snow at least..... more surface area on the tires = more weight distribution over a wider tire..... stay with meaty stock size tires.....if you do lift you can go taller (not much) i havent seen alot of lift on a soob yet.... maybe like 3 inches.....after that you hafta do alot of work so you wont break the front axels.... (so ive read) definitly get awd if possible or do an awd conversion.... itd be a pain to do it yourself. and id love to own a 5 spd soob but auto is workin just fine for me right now.... they are alot slower acceleration wise compared to a 5 spd but in your case i dont think you would mind that too much ..... hope this helps lol not much more than you should already know..... oh and stay away from the ej25 (2.5 liter) they make more power and torque than the 2.2L BUT have head gasket issues..... no fun! take care! -Jarrid
  22. ok well thats sounds good but also wondering if the wiring harness's are the same........ i dont believe they are but im probably wrong
  23. i am wondering if a 2.5l ecu instead of a 2.2l ecu is being used........ correct me if im wrong but i believe that if it WOULD run on the wrong ecu that it would run terrible and throw codes...... do you know if they put in the correct engine computer? dont know how you would verify that but im sure someone here would have an idea based on the numbers on the actual ecu itself.......... hope this helps!
