Awesome. Keep up the good work. All of your fab work so far has been beautiful (especially the rack...and the whole WRX...)

Anyone who's driven a MT Subaru will tell you that at 1500 RPM, these engines are turds. That's so far below the powerband, any slight hill would just bog the crap out of your motor.

So...do we have a complete setup yet?

I'm in...

And it can only be installed in a 4EAT

It's a switch that electronically "locks up" the AWD unit like a true 4WD.

Is the website operational yet? I'm stoked to see lifts for my generation of car! Have you installed any of the 6" kits? I'm wondering how the suspension/steering components/axles hold up... Do you know what tire size will work on 2000-2004 Outbacks with your lifts? WOO HOO!

I REALLY want to see what comes of this. It sounds like a perfect solution for my 2000 Outback project...

Awesome! Welcome to the community... We all hope you enjoy your stay (which will likely be a long one if you're a Sube nut)!

Ew. Give us the wagon back!!! This sedan looks so boring...like a Sentra or Corolla or something.

I don't know a darn thing about trad climbing. I love sport climbing, but BOULDERING is the shiznit. I'm still new to sport climbing (been bouldering for a few years), but I'd really like to check out the routes at L-worth. Bouldering is my favorite, though. Let's bring our pads.

Oooh...never been up there. All us climbers should get together and figure it out... Any other climbers out there?

Will it decrease your fuel economy? Yes. Will it decrease your power? Yes. Will it suck in hot air from your engine bay, rather than cold, dense air from the atmosphere? Yes But...will it sound wicked awesome? HELL YES. (still not worth it, though. ha ha. Build a hybrid setup like the one mentioned in the NASIOC post)

Let's get some climbing in at Leavenworth while we're there! This will be the closest WCSS to me thusfar!

What cam setup would you recommend using in a EJ22T block/EJ25 (phase II) head HYBRID motor? Is there a regrind? (nothing wild - maybe 200-220 WHP)

Wow. I didn't know he worked at Delta... And I want boost. I've got the urge to get some form of forced induction...

Okay. I get the point. I trust you guys that have been around the block. How about this...in my current position (toasted heads on my 190k 2.5 block)... - What's the most RELIABLE way to push, say...250 HP at the wheels? - What's the CHEAPEST way to get to 250 wheel HP?

This idea sounds great, BUT...merging the harnesses would be a bear. The wiring and intake for the 2.5 is already in the car...so I'm going to go that route.

That's another issue I'd like to address: Engine management? what should I do?

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. I'm a bit of a NOOB, so...ANYTHING. Even if it might not pertain to the specific things I originally asked.

So, my 2000 EJ25 is toasted. I'll be picking up an EJ22T soon. I want to slap some heads/intake that are correct for my car (so I can keep the stock wiring) on the 22T block and throw a little boost at it. I think I'm going to run the stock internals for the first iteration of this motor. (maybe STi rods) I want to build it for a reasonable amount of $$$. Issues: - This combo (with the 2.2 HG) will yield approximately 7.8:1 compression... *I've never driven a small-displacement car with this kind of CR...is this going to be a real dog until I get into boost? I've driven EJ22T-equipped cars (8:1 CR) and I'm unimpressed with the lack of balls at low RPM. - Are there other pistons I could use to bump up the CR? - What about getting the heads decked? (too spendy, probably) - I can probably run a bit more boost since the CR is so low, right? Any advice here? I've seen a bunch of builds with DOHC heads, but...SOHC seems to be far less popular. Thanks, guys... - Tyler

That is weird. You might be dealing with multiple issues here...(although that's usually not the answer - the simplest solution is usually the correct one) My money is on VALVES. Vacuum issues confirm this. how much fuel is pissing out there?

You're taking all the fun out of this...ha ha.

Anyone? any more advice?

Get some sort of intake that pulls air from the fenderwell. Louder/more power/real cold air.
