Island Roo Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 i have to do my turbos head gaskets and have a carbed block(not here yet) and was gonna swap for a bit of extra compression, is there a spot for the knock sensor and the crankcase vent hose right beside it? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[HTi]Johnson Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Knock sensor, yes, vent hole no. The spot that it goes in is there, it just doesn't go all the way to the crank. You could drill and put your own vent there, but the shavings would go into the crankcase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 You also might need to tap the hole for the sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[HTi]Johnson Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 The block that we put in my friends car didn't need tapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowman Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Just hook the PCV into one of the rocker covers. An oil separator might be necessary to avoid excess oil burning, but it should work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[HTi]Johnson Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Since headgaskets are the weakest point (one hopes) , what would the best ones be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I'd go with OEM gaskets. WJM ran his 9.5:1 turbo engine for 20k miles with no HG problems. Aftermarket HG's are generally junk, though Fel-Pro comes close to OEM from what I've seen and heard. Copper ones are another possibility, but I know those have had teething problems in the EA82T.

Vanislru Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Mark, come for a ride in the Legacy. It's got me thinking about ditching the spfi swap for an ej22t! Sure once you crank the boost those tiny little axles/cv's are going to snap, but that's what lifetime warranties are for right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
