Bussaca Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Super Dave told me this might be the better place to put this Ok.. i remember (like 1999) back in the day someone going over the steps to change out the turbo from an 2.2t into an RX.. Well i got back from the junkyard..and 2.2t turbo in hand with what i vaugely remembered.. so i removed my 1.8t Turbo..to find..they are pretty close..but no where near to fitting.. So at this point.. it looks like i'm going to need a 2.2t Down pipe and up-pipe..??? or would it be easier to have a shop make new flanges and weld em to the old pipes? Any info..much apreciated.

nkx Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 rumor has it you can bolt on a downpipe for a wrx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingbobdole Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I know the WRX downpipe works for sure.... and I dont see why the up pipe wouldn't.... hit up NASIOC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I know the WRX downpipe works for sure.... and I dont see why the up pipe wouldn't.... hit up NASIOC The uppipe won't work because we don't have a seperate uppipe on the old cars What I did when I put the TD04 on my wagon.. Cut the uppipe flange from a WRX UP. cut the studs off the stock 'UP'. Weld the WRX flange flush to the stock flange. I also used a WRX DP, but it isn't quite an exact fit. had to deal with the trans xmember a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since i got my Megan Racing downpipe which has no cats in it, there's less of a clearance issue in my RX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 If I'm not mistaken the VF-11 up pipe flange will bolt to the factory VF-7 flange. Please correct me if I'm wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 You may very well be correct. My experience is limited to the TD04. Though I know the VF10-12 use the same exhaust pattern as the TD04.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Subaru_Styles would know since he used a VF11 on his RX wagon if I'm not mistaken. As for me putting the TD04 onto my RX, I just simply unthreaded the back stud and welded it about a 1/2" further back so it would bolt on instead of welding a stock WRX flange onto the uppipe like Caleb did.

AFAIK, that only applies to the TD04.. the VF11 should bolt right on to the stock uppipe http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=31358&highlight=vf11 No one listens indeed!
