So im thinking about cutting off the VF11+ flange and welding on the VF7 flange. Yes? No? Maybe?

NO. Justy is not EA or EJ.

I wouldnt want to do that.....keep justy engine, go RWD, keep the stock unibody but add a Solo1 legal roll bar since I would likely Time Trial the thing at some point.

So I was thinking...a Justy has its engine sitting in it the wrong way. :-p I was thinking...make the justy RWD, turn the engine the 'correct' way and build it. strip it, Solo1 roll bar it...and call it done.

the TWE header does not have that issue. ANY SUBARU bolt on turbo will bolt onto the TWE header as I posted before.

Ok Admiral Kirk.... :-p You mean LSD additive.

Pre EA82 makes for some good offroad durable engines....but unless you go crazy spending some serious cash on the RAM heads or similar...you wont make all that much (200+hp/300+tq) power with them. They are fine, solid engines tho. EA82 marks the beginning of SUBARU's big for modern day performance. Its OHC, self adjusting, and reliable. The 87+ turbo engines are actually pretty smart. With the correct work done to it...you can have a powerhouse engine for under $4k. EJxxx series is where SUBARU said "ok, lets tweak it some more"....they succeeded is some areas...did not improve in others...and failed in some areas. Yes they made an engine that puts out more from the factory, yes its reliable. If the same EMS had been installed on the EA82 with an appropriately sized turbo and proper exhaust and intake systems...the EA82 would be JUST as powerful as the EJxxx's. Ive had both apart beside each other. The EA82 is a much more simple with less parts. "The more plumbing you have, the easier it is to stop up the drain."

I'll pass on anything EJ. EJ's are FAR inferior to the EA82.

ok, heres the RX with TWe header/DP/STi TMIC/intake on STOCK boost. A/F's are nice and safe. Same conditions 2 runs later at 13.5 psi: Notice at 4k the A/F's start going up...the injectors are static. I have the 15 PSI run with the fuel pressure at MAX (80 psi) but not with the A/F's on it. I'll post that up monday when i extract it from the Dyno Computer....but here's the chart anyhow.

if I ever get time, i'll take out the EJ205 pistons i have and compare to EA82T. Tom at TWE has used STi v4 pistons in an EA82T with no issues.

on a stock engine, stock turbo, stock internals, stock ECU...just a header/downpipe/intercooler/intake and a boost controller@15 PSI...I was able to extract 240hp and 320tq out of it. NOT safe by any means as it runs lean....but REALIABLY with the boost at 12 PSI its making roughly 180/240 at the crank. Ive put over 20k miles on that setup (originally the engine had over 150k miles on it) with no problems. JWX now has that engine and its still running strong.

Ditto to that! I worked at Prestige SUBARU for a few months in parts...and I loved seeing 1 in 4 cars=SUBARU. In Atlanta tho....I'm lucky to see 1 out of 1000.

TWE header. 1-704-536-9635 ask for Mike Melton in Parts. This header is designed to allow you to use the stock VF7 turbo, or ANY of the newer style IHI/Mitsu turbos (VF11, VF34, VF22, VF39, TD04L-13G, 16G, 20G, Zilla SZ55....etc...the list goes on). Cost? $399+shipping. How many exist in the world? Less than 20. Better buy yours tomorrow!

................................no comment. Pain In The A$$.

No. To properly do the job, the cam case need to come off. Its a PITA to do in-car. You might as well pull the engine and overhaul it...that way you wont have to work on it for another 50k miles (timing belt interval) after that. As for the crank pully, there in a pin in the front tbelt sprocket that keeps the crank pully from moving and loosening the bolt. You should check to see if that is present or missing. If missing...install one.

Rev matching. 4 wheel discs. 'Nuff said.

the ecu is preprogrammed with the 185's....so when it is at idle, it knows EXACTLY what to tell the injectors to do for idle fuel delivery. At cruise at x RPM+x load=same...it knows exactly what to deliver. with bigger injectors...it will still be doing that...but on the 185 map...so at idle it'll be delivering...but from the O2 readings it'll be going frm the A/F...so it'll start doing odd junk and pulling fuel...adding...pulling...adding...etc. It wont get it right. Same for when its cruising/underboost etc....I know this as I have done it before. I had some 300's installed for a while (dont know where they went). The ECU can compensate for a little, but not really...and not a lot at all. So you might could get away with 200~225's at 36 PSI...but thats it really. ours are 185@36, and 245@45... with a SAFC-II you might could tune the fuel out to make it run OK....just OK...not stock or something spectacular...but make it run OK. Even a master tuner could only get it in the OK range and thats it. The ECU and SAFC will still be fighting each other. the ONLY way to REALLY get it right...is to beable to reflash the ECU like Ecutek for the WRX/STi/Legacy GT 05+/EVO etc...or go with a standalone. you can make a piggyback work too....but thats like the SAFC and they will be fighting each other. Otherwise, the size of the injectors has nothing to do with timing-spark. Cliff notes: No. You can do that, its been done many times before and proven as an 'OK' method. Not that I know of on an EA82 Gen3 SUBARU.

they wont run correctly because the ECU has to be REPROGRAMMED FOR THE INCREASED FUEL being dumped into the engine. the ECU cannot automatically tell what injectors are in it and adjust. Its preprogrammed for the 185's from the factory. So even with these new injectors, the engine still wont run correctly. increasing pressure does not affect the output enough to warrent even doing such mod. I have dyno charts to prove it. at 15PSI with TWE exhaust and WRX-STi TMIC..the injectors go 100% STATIC (Wide open 100%+ duty cycle...thats BAD BAD BAD) at 2800 RPM.

umm...at 45 psi our injectors are already at 245cc. WTLY. What we need are 550cc+ for the power that we are wanting. 12psi with TWE stuff is the max safe limit.

................................!

monroe i think.

yeah....where it would be stock.

that is...in a way...bad publicity for SUBARU.

non turbo has no coolant return for turbo. Turbo does. i cant remember which has an EGR and which doesnt. I have both tho. otherwise, thats it. Mabye the injectors are different...but nothing is clear on the injectors.

Yes, I do this kind of work. PM me your vin so I can get an appropriate price quote. WJM
