i remember reading a post lately about putting the audi/volkswagen CIS fuel injection system on a soob, and the whole setup can cost under $100 if you are lucky. just my $0.02 -Victor

Great idea. Too bad you could get the mechanical lifters off of the engines with CIS too, indestructible.

any updates on this project yet?

theres a guy in canada who put an ej20 in a justy, why cant you put an ej22 in yours? if it were my car, i would take out the back seat.

as far as piggyback, there are many options, but on a budget, megasuirt or greddy e-manage would be your best bet. those go for around $200 used on ebatmotors, and sometimes less. as far as "upping" the oil capacity, all i can think of for that is an oil cooler, which will also help the longevity of your engine, and your turbo when that comes into play.

fuel management. the Apex-i safc should be fine, or you could run a piggyback engine management like megasquirt or e-manage. i think in one of the past issues of Sport Compact Car, there was an article about turboing N/A cars. that would have some good info in it.

you can use impreza calipers and rotors right? so does that mean you can use the rear wheel e-brake out of an impreza?

you're telling me. :-\

impreza struts will work as long as they aren't any newer than 2001, 2002 and later struts out of a wrx are too long and will not fit.

I checked out the CV's upon installation, and after installation and everything felt fine, so this weekend, i'll check the ball joints as well.

Finally got my 5 lug stuff all done, now for some pics, enjoy. action shot. heh. i have a couple questions though. i'm getting an alignment this weekend. when ever i steer hard either direction, the car will pull that direction until i turn hard the other direction, then it cancels out until the next time. i want to assume that is a problem with caster, am i right? also, upon turning the wheel lock to lock, there is a clunk in the midst of turning the wheel, a friend said thats a cv problem or a ball joint, is that true? last question, does anyone want to trade a set of rear 2wd xt6 gr2's for a set of 4wd wagon rear struts? never used, only taken out of the box once and i cant return them now. any input is great, thanks. -Victor

port orchard wa, anyone know where that is? all the good spots out here got paved over. so i guess its time to prowl the streets.

BF goodrich traction t/a's are really good too. my brother has a set on his corolla, and he was so pleased with them, that i decided to get a set for myself. i wouldn't suggest the kumhos, they don't grip in the rain half the time, and the tire like is maybe 30,000 miles.

the new stis have 5 x 114.3, i think the 2.5 rs still have the 5 x 100 though. i think it was in 04 when the sti started to have the 5 x 114.3 due to torque problems or something like that. there are still some good wheels out there, none with really good offset that i've seen, but you can stack wheel spacers.

put the scirrocco interior in a beatle and put the soob engine in that.

hopefully they will make an STI minivan. i would drive that even though i'm single and 16.

I'm willing to learn and help. I don't have much experience with software, but i have a little with hardware if that helps. D-Cal, brilliant idea and i think this group is willing to over-clock the ECU like you're talking about, just not everyone is capable of doing it themselves like some of you. I think during the summer, or the next big vacation would be an opportune time for people to learn this stuff. I currently am juggling soccer and school, and soon a part time job, but i am still willing to help/learn. Hope i can help. -Victor

BOOOOOST!!!! and everything else.

i think you should paint it urban camo, its not too far from it now.

+1 for the analog dash. digidash would be cool if it made noises like real pinball. *inserts pinball noises*

If you use carb cleaner or anything of the sort be sure not to get it on the alternator or distributor. anything flammable will normall react with electricity. maybe check out the local costume shop for a fog machine, those are safe; or you could hold a can of compressed air upside down where it creates very dense water vapor in a visible gas form.

2 pound differenc eh? well just make sure u take a dump before you go drive your 3 doors.

110XXX on the engine and chasis in the RX hatch, 26-28 mpgs per tank. a little bit of highway, but mostly city driving.
