    2.5- 4 hours depending on if you pull rad and waterpump I also include the 40 min of runup time and checking for fan operation and will not let car leave until fans have cycled twice

    The buggy I had a 3800 stall converter made 1000$ hurt a bitt but what a kick in the pants made a massive difference. I also used the forward drum and clutchpack from a 98 outback trans in my 91 legacy trans this gives you two wide clutchs VS 3 thin clutchs giving it more surface area and holding power. Was deff worth it can hold the power now And my line preshure soil is held in the full line preshure position firming it up on the shifts

    I would change headgaskets and knurl the piston and good to go standard procedure on piston slapen 2.5s have fixed some pistons that were realy bad come in knocken leave dead silent is worth fixing. [ just say no to subarus coolant conditioner] will not stick to stainless steel gaskets waste of time and gross

    4 eat with 4.44 gears and 2800 stall converter from impreza this will give you the low end pulling power and no clutch to smoke. I use this trans in race buggy and is very strong and holds up to 300+hp

    Wouldent hurt to ask around the machine shops and see who works on Subaru heads to they should know someone and are good spot for getting local info on shops and what they work on. I get many referals from machine shops and parts stores

    as of late I just cut one side of a ej2.5 gasket works fine for me
  11. ivans imports

    Never ever ever seen a cracked sleeve dosent happen heads don't crack [ Unless has been frozen ] I call bull on dealer they are just scared to take on the 2.5D happens lots this engine is a shop burner and very difficult to fix right. Run fast and far and find someone who has many Subaru headgaskets under there belt. For ex I have done over 100 headgaskets thiss year. and they keep coming On every single one customer was in headgasket denial Think I need a thermostat or rad { no you need headgaskets } over and over is always the last thing customer wants to hear but always the problem no point wasting money on anthing but. Anyway dealers are for servicing cars not fixing motors above there heads and abillitys.

    On 84 turbos they had problems with the fuel preshure regulator rusting the spring inside and losing fuel preshure .

    I run a 2.5 twin cam turbo in 79 wagom with 235-75 15s and 86 gl high low with stock 86 gl clutch no problems unless I'm dragracing it then clutch has hard time with the 6500rpm neutral drops

    Have 15 damaged hubs in a pile from last 6 months have even got a friend to setup a jig for rewelding them and machining them down cause had so many damaged ones. Rebiuld hubs are good sellers and is a need for them
  19. ivans imports
    Phase one head vs phase two 1-3/4 inch diff phase 2 way longer and biger valves
  20. ivans imports
    the longer you drive it the more damage the hub will get worn down and not fit bearing anymore and a hubs a extra 50-100 bucks and your brakes will wear more on back side than front. The danger part would be if front wheel was to lockup causeing unexpected turn.
  21. ivans imports
    change headgaskets as long as it runs ok And do a oil preshure check min 10 psi hot at idle The engines I see are all high kms 300000-400000kms Most headgaskets I do are at about 200000-300000kms
  22. ivans imports
    put new switch in and check for pluged lower part of rad if switch dosent get hot will not turn on commen to bypass lower part of rad
  23. ivans imports
    check large vacume line to antibackfire valve on firewall plugs or sticks and gos bad
  24. ivans imports
    a'm finding that the imprezas come in the least and need less repairs and hold up very well the bigger cars break more and have more problems. Any impreza or legacy with a 2.2 is a bulletproof car.
  25. ivans imports
    hair strait back ! I ruined two very pricy motors before I figured out that the con rod was snaping in the center put in Manly H beams and no more problems. I did notice a fair power diference with the colt cams VS stock ones exact engine setup one with cams one without. Mind you I had full dragrace cams built for my phase 2 2.51 turbo. Was about 20 % percent more power and snap than its stock cam clone
