that much water that quick id bet its a cracked head. less likely to be an intake crack because it would have to leak past the valves and i doubt that much would get thru that quick. a EJ swap is going to take longer than a weekend and rebuilding the original is going to take more than a weekend. machining and replacing what ever is FUBAR in there might thake a week. a used EA motor IMHO is always a crapshoot as to wheather or not you will get a good one. time to get those heads off... and i mean NOW gotta get that coolant out of there before it causes any other damage. plugs look like they were pretty bad as well. drain all the coolant you can out of the cooling system and then pull the heads off its the only way to find out whats going on. it only takes about an hour to get them off so get to cracking.

no rolled it dodging a WRX on a logging road.... long story lol

fun car to drive! but they ar a money pit. mine was great motor is strong and if you can find a 5 spd swapped one the trans is no longer an issue. have you checked out http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/ yet? thasts an awesome bank of knowledge and alot of helpful people over there. good luck they are alot of fun!

thanks its a work in progress here are some before pictures

or do what i do go fix it with him help him source parts etc. then sit back and wait..... he will call you

good luck looks like itll be fun!

and while running 6lbs on my RS i didnt change squat and it ran fine

thats a question for the builders i just know enough about the car to answer simple questions lol the owner is a good buddy of mine who i turn wrenches with on the weekends. im actually suprised he hasnt posted yet as i know he has seen the article(its all over his facebooks as i reposted it about a hundred times) i know hes told me but my brain isnt firing correctly today. knowing him id guess he just retarded the timing a bit as it sounds that way but ill send him a txt and find out for sure

greetings from vancouver washington. i currently own 3 subarus and have been around them for almost 10 years. i tend to avoid the forums but this one has such good info (and people) that i figured i should start using it so enough of all that.... picture time! newest member of the family bone stock 1995 ej22 AWD RHD legacy 1987 XT Turbo ej22t swap LSD AWD (still missing a few parts 5 lug swap stuff and a modified driveshaft) 1999 RS Coupe Eg33 supercharged (work in progress still need to finish final assembly)

like i said on 7 lbs it seems to be stable and its got some guff now as well

i think more than 9 lbs would make it likely to fail want mor boost get a different motor lol but thats just my 2 cents and if you are DDing it do you really want to risk an overboost? i know i wouldnt want to lol

it makes 7 lbs which trust me is more than enough lol no boost leaks at least not the last time i saw the car (2 weeks ago) and hopefully ill be doing the body work this year. the concept was amazing just didnt have the time to put in the body last year. also the intercooler does work its just not super efficient. and how much boost do you really want? this thing walks away from my stock leggy on 7 pounds and its been running over a year reliable and quick seems like a win win to me

the wagon is beautiful welcome to the forums

96 RHD legacy 249,236 on the ticker

im frustrated in trying to find these to the point of anger so im trying somthing different. im making a call out to all you owners who would like to someday have these availible at your local auto parts store. ive been vigorisly emailing doorman about reproducing factory spec replacement xt6 hubs and would encourage all of you to do the same. im sure if we all annoy them enough they will be on board as its easy money for them and easy swaps for us. http://www.dormanproducts.com/dispstati ... _Idea.html here is the link

well if you decide to let me know i need ss exaust flanges to finish my project but i havnt been able to find them local

you planning on selling header flanges?

wow love the intake as well beautiful car!

i wish mine was that shiney...... soon though.... soon

sertain BOVs like the turboxs one that i have come with a weld on bung in the box i didnt use mine as im running a WRX intercooler but they are easy to install with a hole saw and a welder

thank you for the sound advice ill report back when its done

gauge of wire determines fuse size there is draw down on LONGER runs but the shorter the less resistance less resistance=more amps. at least thats what im deciphering from what ive read. im no electrical expert but i know fused wires are better than no fuse if you want you can do a little expriment at home to prove this. grab a pair of 9v batteries out of the junk drawer, 2 peices of small gauge wire, a 1 amp fuse, set of gloves, soldering iron, solder, and a fire extiguisher. take one wire cut it in half, solder the fuse between the two halves then take the ends and short the battery. fuse should blow fast and remember how hot the wire got. now grab the gloves, the other battery, the other chunk of wire (without the fuse), and make sure the fire extiquisher is close by. with the gloves on short this battery see how hot the wire gets. dont do it for long dont want the battery to split, or the gloves to catch on fire! this will basically prove the need for a fuse no matter how short or how long the wire is you will get the same result. ohh and when you are done do us all a favor READ THE QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU SPIT YOUR OPINION! i just wanted to know what size fuse i should use not whether or not a 2004 chevy tahoe has every circut fused and whether that upsets you because :Flame:you dont need no fuses for yer rig:Flame: i like to be safe personally so ill be fusing mine if you have a suggestion as to what size fuse should be used i appriciate it if you want to try to justfy your unsafe setup save it for the next idiot. ok now that im done ranting..... GD thank you for your direction to the proper information but unfortunatly it is all greek to me. i have a spare 4 gauge about 22" long i was going to use. according to the charts ive read itll sustain 110a but with the maximum output being 90a logic to me says slap a 90a fuse in there and call it a day but that doesnt seem right..... any advice would be appriciated

thanks for the info GD also did we ever get a final conclusion on whether or not this was bolt on for the xt turbos? and to clairify according to the FSM they are 55A stock also the alt size difference is for hood clearence issues same reason the XT6 one is wonky. ill be trying this while i change out my oil pump this weekend and IF there is modification nessisary for the XT turbo ill document it here if thats alright with GD
