.030 seems awfully small of a gap to me. Why so small? I'm not saying that's the problem, just that seems like quite a jump from stock. What plugs are you using?

the old symbol looks more like the constellation.

you've just improved on your geo in every way possible

ah okay, that makes sense then.

is it AWD? cool **** even if it's not.

I've never seen inside a tank but one would think the suction would happen near the bottom of the tank. So why is it not a good idea to get gas while the tanker is there? If water is heavier than gas it will sink to the bottom eventually right?

but then you have to realign the hood and all that crap

did you bore it out? and why so little?

reverse it for the order he asked and you're right

I dont believe so. Either that or it only finished one or two races. It wasn't a good engine to say the least. Most likely the worst engine swap.

I think he means 4x140 bolt pattern

dont be afraid of the ground clearance. there's plenty to get you out of most situations. Like ralllyruss said rally cars dont have huge ground clearance. they just have ultra stiff shocks/struts and springs. You'd be better off spending that money on a good set of DMS coil overs or something.

if you insist: nOOb

dollars to donuts the engine is fine. Replkace the hg's and be on your way.

finally someone said the RX but yes I seriously want a dual range awd tranny. Noone cares to import them and they're fairly common. The new forester dual range has a faster effective hi ratio than our sti's 1-5. I'd kill for one of these. Though I hear they're actually pretty weak.

he's typ[ing in all caps.

well, the main issue is the brake clearance. 14-15" wheels wont fit on wrx brakes to the best of my knowledge. But since your current wheels are 16x6.5 and the wrx wheels are the same size they should fit fine

there's no need, listen to someone who has seen the inside of an EJ22E, instead of corky

There isn't the correct smilie to show you just how i feel while reading this post. It's obvious to me that you've 1 never taking the heads off an EJ22E, and that 2 you'll just say whatever you want without finding information to back up your claims. You're talking to someone that has replaced his headgaskets on his ej22e. I'm 100% positive it's an open deck engine. I'm also 100% positive the only closed deck EJ22's sold (not imported) in america were from 91-94. Really you need to try to learn about a topic/idea/arguement before you start spouting out information that you don't know about. So now I need to ask you, where did you get the idea that EJ22E's were closed deck? It also doesn't take away from the fact that we didn't have any MY89 legacys! I don't have any official links to the subaru code thing. Really though, your last post just put a HUGE smile on my face

I believe what you say when I don't know for a fact there's something different that is true. I do believe the passages are different, but what I'm wonder is if someone has had a real life problem with them mixing. Yes it would be ideal to use the same heads with the same block, but just because the two things dont line up identically doesnt mean you cant use em. Just trying to find the truth is all.

A range for ej22 closed decks? There are only two closed deck ej22's the EJ22T and the EJ22G one from 91-94 and the other in 98 or whatever year the 22b was made, so now please explain to me how a range of closed deck ej22's from 89-94 is an accurate thing to say? By your logic I could say a rance of closed deck ej25's from 1976-2005 and be correct. It just doesnt make sense to add irrelavnt years. Sevral people? Try one who is incorrect. FHI Has never stamped an engine with more than 4 chars to my knowledge. There's no reason for them to. If they did the blocks would HAVE to have the same Heads all the time, but look at the ej255 and ej257, same block but different heads, yet the block is only stamped with EJ25. Please find me an ej block with more than 4 characters stamped in it. Now if you'd actually tak th time to look at the engine code on the placard in a legacy turbo engine bay you'd see it says EJ22T insead of just thinking you're right.

you were saying ej22g models (actually ej22t) and they didnt exist until 91. I didnt say anything about the casting. All the blocks are only case with teh first 4 digits of the engine code. Go look at the placard in a legacy turbo engine bay like I said before, or read the thread I just linked to that shows people reading their placard and indisputable evidence that the EJ22G and EJ22T blocks are different (yes someone disassembled a 22b motor. G doesn't mean closed deck, G means DOHC MPFI Turbo, like matt said that you didnt read. So explain to me how a usdm 91-94 legacy turbo engine can have the engine code EJ22G? And can you PLEASE answer my question about anyone having problems with oil and coolant mixing? WJM what matt monson said was true.

I was talking only in america since the subject was in reference to turbo EJ22's, we don't have MY89 legacy's here and we dont have MY89-MY90 Turbo's here The Legacy RS-R and Legacy RS-RA weren't actually Legacy STi's, since STi didnt exist back then, or it wasn't an actual company. They were highly tuned machines but weren't called STi's

that's quite possible, I should've said I'd never heard of any

Wow!
