GD DO I HAVE TO BACK THE HEAD BOLTS OFF 180 DEGREES TWICE, OR CAN I SOMEHOW SKIP THAT STEP. IM NOT SURE IF THERE IS A BETTER WAY TO TORQUE THEM OR NOT.

They are decked.20 over. Haven’t checked

Having them cut back flat today. Idk what happened. I’ve torqued these heads a million times. Not sure what happened. Maybe just the quality of gasket. I had the felpro the first time, then i tried I think the brand was cometic or somthing. The metal shim type. What type of gasket material are the 2004 sti ones u reccomened?

It won’t work brother. Need to remove it. It’s way easier and faster.

GD ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HEAD STUDS? I RACED SATURDAY NIGHT AND BOTH HEAD GASKETS WERE BLOWN RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. I ORDERED THE GASKETS U RECOMMENED TO USE. IM NOT SURE IF MY HEAD BOLTS ARE HOLDING UP OR NOT.

What head gasket do u recommend for my race car?

Thought so. I’ll redo them. I had to redo the driver side head last night. But didn’t check the pass side. Plugs looked good on pass side so I assumed. Thanks alot

Awsome info GD. Also only other issue I had was the coolant from the system kept filling up the over flow tank

2003 Impreza rs. Round track race car. I race in 3 rd gear at the rev limiter. It literally will blow out 1-2 qts of oil and dump it into the air breather. Any help?

Car runs great has a spoob ton of power. Def needs to be tuned though. Not getting anywhere w the enduring solutions. I’ve emailed and there website is hard to navigate. I have no idea what I need to tune it.

How do I do the esl swap? Where do I start to buy the process?

That will work with my “push type” hydro clutch??

How do I delete the rev limiter?

Have a 2003 Impreza rs 2.5, 3000 race grind cam, stock valves, and ported heads. What is the best racing clutch for this car. Again my car is a round track oval race car, we run 30laps a race and it’s WOT, brake, left turn all night. Lol.

I’m listening Matt. Any advice on where to start?

Good question about the Brz computer. I wonder what year?

it is a round track asphalt race car. I'm having a 3000 race grind from delta cams, one over sti valves, and porting pretty heavy. just not sure if i will need a tune or not. i just don't want it to go to lean and bust something. and i also have the year wrong, its an 2003

Will a Cobb access port work on this car. It’s a na ej25 sohc. And if so what one do I need to buy just as a tuner. Is there anymore options?

Yes I run fuel injection. It’s asphalt oval and kinda like mini stock yes. My stagger I currently went up to my largest is around 71 3/4. I just need more straightaway power. Feels great coming out of the corners just cuts out about 40 foot too soon.

I have 93 ej22 that I race on the round track asphalt. Cuts out at 6500 rpm in 3 rd gear. Need more rpm. Just a little. I need prolly around 7000 or 7100. Any advice?

That’s what I was thinking as well. How different is that? Do I need the entire pedal assembley out of the wrx?

I’m only concerned because my ej22 is a cable clutch setup and the ej20 Impreza transmission was a push clutch hydro setup.

What type of clutch do I need to run? The 2002 Impreza clutch?

what about head work? ive had cams done at delta, 3000 race grind. will the stock bottem end handle them? or do I need to get forged bottom end?

what are some plug and play horsepower tuners for this car.
