That could have just codswallop up my whole day if I made that change and not knew that. I was throwing idea of small supercharger kit to be placed were AC use to go, so I make up the power. I have feeling that will take lot of time to map out and engine compresstion very close to my 944S2. Which more likely going to give me more problums than I want, because really suck when you run stright 85 fuel and get pre detonation on hot summer day after you shut off the engine. I got get some custom pipes made for this 914 swap, but exhaust will be catless seeing car is 72's and only have run of 4 feet or less. Also each head will have it's own pipe to the back, I'm using this nice upgrade exhaust I got for old 914 engine. Pipe bit smaller than what coming out of the Ej22 heads, so should have stock or close to stock back pressure. Sometime in July I should have a running 914, so I got post video on it, see how sound with this setup

Thank for side note, just not use to it. On both Porsches I got, there a AOS which like a oversize PCV valve on steroids. So it's absolutely quite at idle with no pressure and Rover V8 crank case way to big. So was little worry about blow by. So drove the wreck 98 around town. Engine didn't give me any problums, even so I could say gear ratio on that auto trans could be better. It need's sport button, I like to keep all my engins at top end all day. >.>

Like to know if light reciproating crank case pressure is normal at idle for EJ22E, once the throttle is open gose away.You can also hear it in dip stick when you pull it out, reciproating motion inside the tube. Foxler

Sound great, thank for tip on oil seperator plate. 944 got AOS on it and seals on those fail way to much. People always ask "why do I got oil in my intake boot" This might be sin for most people, but I do like my Bosch plugs.. Even Porsche guys bitch at me for it, seem like everyone like NGK choice.

Got link for crank pulley? Can't change flywheel for 914 swap, kit as specially made one so it can mate with 914 trans. Do mind 914 is 800 pounds less than car that engine came out of.

Those are some really good point, from sound of it. Engine almost as good as it's going to get, but I like the idea of the cams. Never had to deal with that before seeing few to none in Porsche world. Last time I checked I could get set of for my 944S2 for $2300, would take 2 months to get and have to be built from ground up which my gain of 15HP for 2300$ I'm good lol Side of me being use to over priced parts, I did read lot about single port vs dual port heads. I would think dual port would be better. Then people were throwing out valve size is larger on phase 2. Which I do have single port, better up upgrade or leave it be? Thank you for pointing out few brands look out for and companies to go to. Even if I don't change anything 137hp way better than 84hp from VW Type 4 engine. I'm trying to push for 160hp and 150 ft lbs, somewere in that ball park. There no power streeling on 914, so no and I could add AC to 914, but might take to much work. Good chance that will be left out as well. spoob having heater good start in that car, you get heat from headers on the 914. Kill yourself when there a leak just like some cars during turn of the 20th century were they used exhaust fumes to heat the car.

I've already done my home work on that, but I'm talking about engine it's self. Non of those site cover upgrades or changes, just oil pan. You could say I'm looking for your guys favorite place buy parts and get information. Like if I'm shopping for OEM parts for Porsche I head to PelicanParts or Paragon Products. If i'm looking for custom upgrades for Porsche I head down to Lindsey Racing, same gose for Land Rover you got Atlantic British and GBR Utah. I would think seeing it Subaru. I should have more choices and larger selection for the engine. I would think you guys got key people you go to, like for myself I got Disco Mike for anything Land Rover and Ian with 944online that know everything you could want with 944s or 928 in parts or repair. So really here to learn and understand everything I can about Surban engine, what real and what not. Thanks

You know when you walk into first day of class, today is that day. I just got my paws wet with my first Subaru which I'm using for engine swap because Porshce 914 engine, cost way to much $$$$ to do anything with. So I pick up this 98 Impreza Outback Sport, from friend that got in wreck with it. He was really hurting for money, so I pay for his down payment for new car in return for his old one. Which what I needed for my 914, engine is EJ22E with 162k on it. Seem to run fine, but I'm ready to buy all my parts to do seal/gasket overhall and timing/water pump. While I've spent last week looking at upgrade choices.. I got way lost, because I'm so use to only one choice. Porsche OEM, nothing else. Things I was looking to do was better oil/water pump, oil cooler add on, and maybe rebuild heads from other engine type if gain in power are significant. I will be messing with ECU after the build, so not to worry with that right now. Goal not to make mess load power, that mean no turbo because I am dealing with car that was built for air cooled engine. So my cooling choices are limited and my thermal envelope is small, but I would like to get as much as I can with stock mods or low/mid cost upgrades. Reliability also factor, so parts that can give longer services life is welcomed. I also need slim down oil pan, seeing large pan on EJ22 will get damage on 914 engine mount height. So any parts numbers, links to websites for parts and data or things to look out for would be very helpful and greatlly appreciated, if build gose well. Might go after BRZ for my next new car. Foxler
