Turbone

I own a 02 Foz 5spd, picked it up pretty cheap a few years ago after the owner put a pretty good divot in the front right corner. I fixed it up and Its my daily and shop truck, I dont treat it kindly. It has 204k now, the original engine is untouched. The HG weep, I know someday soon I'll prob have to replace them. Other than that, I have had zero issues, just standard maintenance issues.

Looks like Brads old RX

You cant get a EA to sound like a EJ. You can come close but a DOHC EJ produces a distinct sound thats hard to duplicate

Sounds like someone just graduated from tech school

Jeff, what ever you decide to do you have my support and backing. You have the ability to be your own boss, good luck and feel free to call.

The biggest thing is to fill out the monthly report and send it in. This is how you get your Ambassador bucks.

Swap the header with a EA82T one, same with the down pipe. There was a TSB recall for the dealerships to retrofit the coolant lines. Almost all of the EA81T's got it done, I've only seen/had one that didnt.

Went and had a good time. 250 Subaru's showed up, a little short of the 371 needed to break the record. Another attempt will be made late summer, so stand by. This time it will be planned better. I'll try and get a few pics up soon.

Backfiring could also mean a timing issue. I would check the screw on the disty rotor to make sure its still there. Its happened to me before

I was able to do it in person last weekend so I'll be there. Also, the staging for it is in Tenino and moving up to Oly for the record attempt.

Please post in english, when possible

Finished up my wheels this weekend.

Well, I'm a official Subaru Ambassador now. Anyone else get the confirmation email?

Ahh, so thats your Brat I saw floating around FB last week. Very nice!

Then buy one? I have a DeWalt 18v. Use it for everything I an reach it with. Most handy when it comes to lug nuts.

Host them on photobucket (or other site) and just link them here.

They are about a hour apart drive wise

PM sent, thread locked until further notice.

You, outta the pool! Dont be a negative Nancy! But seriously, if a few folks want to do this, more power to them. Some things dont happen overnight and lots of us have other things going on in our lives. We can do this!

I suggest you do some more research here about the engine you want to swap in, it may be more trouble than you expect.

I think the white plug resets the 60k engine check light. Maybe

Sorry, I thought they were used. I had a set of Gen 3 heads (Used) that I sold for $150 (I think, it was years ago).

Wheres the car? I'm south of Oly about 20mi if that would help

It may not leak right away, but sooner or later its going to happen. I would try some other products out there, like more of a metal putty. And clean the surface well prior to applying.

Please post a pic of the valve surfaces, would like to see if there are cracks.
