doubt i'd run that. i'd be hesitant to trust that product and long distance warranty.

Probably 1998 DOhC EJ25D kit but we don’t know what parts you have. DOHC belt and match the tensioner to the bracket you use (single piece or two piece). There are two DOHC tensioner styles, one piece is early usually 1996 and some 1997s, which is what HLAs usually are. Two piece is 1997+. you don’t tell us what parts you have or if you have both complete engines. You can use either tensioner style, they’re interchangeable. The tensioner bolts to a bracket so swap bracket to swap tensioner. Two bolts and $20 from Subaru or use what you have. Easy. Probably use the 253 bracket and newer one piece tensioner since it’s a complete kit. Assuming you have the bracket too.or just buy it from Subaru they’re cheap the older style kits only come with the pulley so if you don’t have the tensioner you have to buy a timing kit and tensioner.

If it's got over 200k then you SHOULD do the HG's on that motor. The EJ22's will eventually blow. Usually between 250k and 300k. One of my loaners has 330k and it blew the HG's at 285k. Was never abused. One owner with meticulous maintenance and mobile 1 synthetic it's whole life. GD

You most likely have a single port exhaust on the 96 2.2. You can find the aftermarket Y-Pipes and they are pretty good. Cats you can't get from the yards anymore, but can find them used. I have a few in Colorado Springs, CO. Mid and rear exhaust pipes can be swapped out. Just need to match the length.

ITS ALIVE sorry again, computer still not fixed. have been working dibble shifts over Xmas to get some coin to bust it all out. got me hands on gf8 STI running a 98 ra motor with a td05 turbo for cheap as the guy who had it couldnt get it run on all 4. had to take the engine out to check things out and found it had a broken camshaft. fixed that and up for sale shortly to get some more found to finish the brat off. been working on the wiring and have things laid out sort of how it's going to go. decided to do a boostedboys fuel pump setup and we having problems with getting power to starter? so did a jumper and turned her over. Funny noises? that right I had put tape over the intake to stop spoob from getting into the air intake. took that off and turned her over again and she fired into life. pretty quit considering the short streight pipe I'm running. But I'll do my best to get my PC up and running when I sell the STI so I can post updates and video but bloody happy with the start up. Gives me the pump to gets her finished. cheers Doc
