I am doing this exact same swap, there is not a lot of information on it. Also i am swapping the dash over I have all the parts including ecus and dashes. Cant wait to dig in once I have some free time.

Thats just lovely, sounds and looks like a great time!

How much Boost are pushing through that baby snail. I love those ej22Es so dam reliable. Good fix with the head bolt/stud issue, it really does suck when Subarus fight back.

Yea i just have to take a look I bet it all bolts up and I just have to keep all the shims on to keep the back lash the exact same as before.

Alright fine Ill use my legacy 4.11 5 speed instead lol thanks for the advice.Do you guys usually just swap the ring gear at the back to 4.11 to mach the tranny. Is that possible with that awesome rear LSD? Or do i have to do a bunch of crap and locate another diff. Currently I have an SVX/legacy hybrid built 4.11 and i doubt the RX axles would slide right into the SVX LSD prob different splines and length. ALSO LOVE THAT VIDEO I love it all haha

Thanks for the response =) also good luck finding a another controller.

Why do u say its so bad?

If i were you I would take the back of your extra RX trans and put that on the back of an EJ trans with either a 3.7 or 3.9 final drive to match your diff I recommend that so you have the locking center of the RX tranny still and use the newer Ej trans to bolt the EJ22 you already have. With this option there is no need to to buy an adapter plate. Then turbo everything and I am sure with that option it will all hold together for some launches assuming you are not doing it at redline. EA82 are not that much fun to mod you would have way more fun building a turbo 2.2 using the old legacy heads if you can find them or lower compression and boost that baby.

I am actually going to drive my car soon for the first time in over 14 months I will post up here how it all feels. I will try with and without the upgraded bigger brake booster also.

Hard launching and Subaru shouldnt be said in the same sentence. Everything always breaks that way. Oh well thats too bad good luck with your future plans.

With the EJ18 ECU My redline was 500 rpm lower than the stock EJ25D had stock. Is your car actually revving out to redline?

I wonder how long it would take your average person to do a headgasket in an EA82. It took me and my buddy 7 hours to do a headgasket in a 2007 impreza. I have never looked at the service manual. Do you have to remove cams to get to head bolts like the DOHC EJ motors or can you leave the heads together and just unscrew the 12 or w.e headbolts to get it apart?

What do you mean you broke it and the trans? You blew the engine and stripped the transmission?

When you say as the pedal travels further but takes less force to provide the same clamping force to the wheel, are you talking about the actual force to press the brake pedal? If so you are wrong it will take more force with a stock brake system to push the pedal to bring a car to a stop. I believe it will travel less overall but take more force. A lot of people have that backwards. +1 with the hill holder or abs pumps being Ts in the brake system, 1 line will go into them and two will go out.

Newer higher off set wheels fit actually pretty nice on our older Subaru's. If you lower the ride height they fit pretty snug I wish they had a lower offset to bring them out to our fenders/ my fenders more Also +1 for the lug nuts comment. They should bolt right up you can flip the trailing arm over onto the other side to make it clear the actual tire on the inside. I dont think spacers are really needed it would deff help with "hella flush fitment" though lol.

I really love the math up there! I ran into this exact question on an engineering test lately. Its all about the numbers! Pressure = Force/ Area =)

It is a weak point to begin with, with my plan it will be stronger than stock. I study mechanical engineering I might just cad out some proof one day haha I want to eventually build a complete subframe from scratch using the geometry i prefer. Just have to buy the pipe benders and other big boy tools to do it. This for example I know how to make a work of art like this and its my goal make subframes like this in the future from scratch. I cant wait to see your final tune seriously.

They are so pretty! I think that is a fair price seems like low production. They would be worth even more than that in a few years.

Yes I believe so they all bolt on to the booster with 2 bolts. You could also swap the booster and the master cylinder over that is what I would do so you get better pedal feel.

Wow seeing this thread have convinced me to tub my front end way too much damage to your car and not enough to the corolla. This can be fixed like everyone said use anything you can with tow straps to pull it out straight. If it was me I would pull the engine get in the bay and go crazy with a sledge hammer. Also i would just cut parts of the front off and grab what you can from a donor car. If you cant find a donor car straighten everything as much as possible and weld in plates to keep it all straight and repaint with some cheap paint. i would go right away for a new hood because the gaps on the side and the front of the hood tell you everything about where you car is bent. If you can get it to close with small even body line gaps all around between the hood and the fender and all that you know you have done a good job. Also good luck this can easily be done but you need some tools at least a welder and will to fight metal.

Wow thanks for the info I am using 11.5 inch rotor up front with forester calipers I was wondering what to do with the rear. Its a shame 2 pot wrx Calipers are so expensive. Will they clear 16 inch 2002 wrx wheels?

Whitman MA and if interested email me at Dylanfoureau@yahoo.com or shoot me a text at 5089427148 http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/157884-1988-subaru-rx-turbo-wheels-for-sale/ I have all four and two have brand new tires. Ive got some 2002 wrx wheels if anyone wants me take measurements of center caps Ive got digital vernier calipers so accurate to nearest .001" =)

Yea sounds like the sweet stuff do you think they will bolt right onto XT6 hubs? Like in these pictures Bolt right into the part pictured above because they would make some great spares for me =) Also yea OEM is pretty tough stuff so I see nothing wrong with that seriously some good stuff going on in this thread. I love shiny metal parts haha

Would you just look at it! Just look at it! Again I applaud your marvelous efforts! Massive amounts of work. Also i got some pictures of how I added my XT6 control arms to the existing subframe. Welded washers and used a massive bolt to mock everything up Going to box in for strength and get some triangulation going on for some more comfort. We also finally have the same wheels mine are gold =) That was before I added some more flares in. I really love the builds one day when mine is dead realiable we can meet up and see how each one feels with such different builds. That is on 2007 STI struts for the front. I want to add an oil cooler like yours I heard they do nothing but good for these turbo Subaru engines! Cant wait to see what your car can put down for power.

Those are really sexy and yea just have the whole made for arp studs way better option and worth the money. What exact material is that machined out of because if its regular steel why not just weld the studs in place. Put a few tacs on them to hold them in place and the lug nuts will keep them in place anyways so I am sure that would be a permanent solution. Also notice how i said tacs so u can still break the welds and put new ones in if you OEM ones that are actually pretty easy to break if over tightened and or stripped. That looks really nice though how much did that cost? I am obviously interested even though I already have Xt6s hubs in the rear.
