mikeshoup Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Now I need to put one of those engines into my XT Turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
970subaru Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 so that is a real RS RA motor? does it have gold valve covers? if it is, you will be AMAZED at the ports. hand ported by STi off of regular ej20g castings back in the day. Ive checked out the set at teh ghetto garage. I bet they flow somewhere on the order of 300cfm, they are that bad rump roast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torxxx Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 damn thats a sharp lookin coupe. I wish I had the resources you guys down in the states have. heh, I have the last running RX in my town, and WRX's are near impossible to get ahold of unless you wanna pay 15 grand for a totalled one at a auction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yegoshin Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 now that you have asked, that kinda how the antilag system works on the new prodrive p2. So, the Prodrive anti-lag system works by keeping the little propellers spinning and forcing lots of lovely oxygen into the engine even when there aren't enough exhaust fumes to turn them normally. And it does this by dumping petrol into the exhaust, just before the little propeller. As soon as the petrol touches the very hot exhaust pipe it explodes and this explosion keeps the propeller turning so when you step on the accelerator there's no irritating wait for it to for it to get spinning and instead you have an instant dollop of big fat power. Or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suberdave Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 Dr. RX][/b] I believe it has something to do with an idle enrichment. not boost enrichment? according to what these guys say http://www.type-ra.co.uk/my93specs.htm the injector dose nothing... i have also herd that it is for idle enrichment. but i dont know why it would need it. no other EJ20G has it. and last i have herd that if you buy the $400 group N rally chip it then puts it to use. but we will see, once it gets running this summer. ill keep everyone posted. -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. RX Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 not boost enrichment?The injector is right over the center of the plenum, just after the trottle body, how would that enrich boost? On my EJ20G, there are times when it stumbles at an idle, I believe that this injector would solve that problem. My MY96 doesn't have the 5th injector.

subyrally Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 if it is anythink like the toyotas, it might be a cold start injector, perhapse they had a cold climate version of the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 the 5th injector is for when you are running at high boost; it is possible for the turbo to suck so much air that it exceeds the 4 injectors' capacity to provide enough fuel, causing a lean condition, causing the need for an extra injector to help out.
