May 18, 201312 yr Author good. well what club? i'd like to know. I was thinking about starting a Legacy specific club cause i have 4 of them. we should hang some time. You have four legacys?? What years?? Any 5 speed or willing to get rid of one possibly? Edit. Woops. You said tri state, i read it as Tri City xD my bad.
May 19, 201312 yr Superu, 5-speed right? And plasti dip the two tone?? Woah, man. I love the before and afters! I'm really liking the stars decal in the driver side rear. What have you done to it exactly?? Yes 5 speed, no to plasti dip. It's actually rust-O-ex paint. I wanted real paint, but $$$ made that a no Thanks!

May 20, 201312 yr I don't mind it. I love hearing about cars like that. Gives me ideas. Dude that sounds like a beast of a car. How much money you got in it?? haha, yeah it's pretty good!! Idea shopping, lots of questions and some solo figuring got me this far with mine. Uuum, yeah.. No idea what I've got in it... I've never added it up. It'd probably make me sad. Feel free to ask away, I'll be happy to share what I know, figured out and have done! Others here and other forums are knowledgable and helpful too. Edited May 20, 201312 yr by superu
May 20, 201312 yr Author I found that out. I just got Audi style l.e.d. Lights on my headlights yesterday. Id just like a little more power.. I'm not sure how to get it without spending an arm, two feet and a kidney.
May 22, 201312 yr I found that out. I just got Audi style l.e.d. Lights on my headlights yesterday. Id just like a little more power.. I'm not sure how to get it without spending an arm, two feet and a kidney. yeah copy that!! Find an EJ25 (78-110K) and do head gaskets. I think phase 2 is the way to go (post '99). . . I think it's plug-n-play swap for an EJ22. 30ish HP boost for a couple hundred bucks (and time).
May 22, 201312 yr Its not exactly a plug and play on a phase 2, but it can be dealt with. What I'm wanting to do is build a phase 2 bottom end with 97-99 ej25 dohc heads.
May 22, 201312 yr Author I was suggested to go to ej25 and put 2.2 heads on. More pressure or something?
May 22, 201312 yr higher compression ratio, same basic idea as what I want to do, except the dohc ej25 heads flow a lot better than ej22 heads so gains would be better up top as well
May 23, 201312 yr I was suggested to go to ej25 and put 2.2 heads on. More pressure or something? I'd say 2.5 block 2.0 heads. I know a friend that did that, THEN boosted it 8-0
May 24, 201312 yr Author Sounds like a good idea. The extra pressure wouldn't blow out the heads faster? Or destroy the gaskets?
May 24, 201312 yr superu, do you know any more details on that motor, block year or head year, that combo doesn't sound like it'd be good for boost to me. the dohc ej25 heads and ej20 dohc heads of similar years have very similar construction, unless he changed out pistons it would be relatively close to stock compression
May 24, 201312 yr superu, do you know any more details on that motor, block year or head year, that combo doesn't sound like it'd be good for boost to me. the dohc ej25 heads and ej20 dohc heads of similar years have very similar construction, unless he changed out pistons it would be relatively close to stock compression I think they were forged pistons. It went into a rally car. I think the set-up bumped up around 10:1 (which on a 2.0 turbo would be high... ) plus boost... It was tuned right around 200 WHP but something sick like 280 ft/lbs of torque. the motor did not last very long, other things were probably at play, like bearings. . . . I can get more details. it sounded liek a great set-up but longevity was not a characteristic that played out. I hear the 2.2 heads don't flow as well as the 2.5s and the 2.0 DOHC are good like 2.5s. what questions do you want to know and I'll relay your questions to the owner.
May 30, 201312 yr Author Projects: I just got new tires on her, I'm converting rear drum brakes to disc brakes so I havesiscs all around, 2 12" subs in the trunk, just need a n amp to hook her up, new seats coming soon, tightening up the linkage, new heatshield bracket so it stops rattling and new clutch. All working the next month and a half. And also starting on removing some visible body rust. I got one tire back from the shop today and he was amazed it didn't blow out. I'll put pics up soon of it. I guess I got twice as many miles out of them than rated for. I'd like to find a scooped hood, rear spoiler, maybe a roof rack and non-stock rims. Also getting trunk/door weatherstriping soon because all of that is almost shot. Oh, almost forgot, getting fog lights soon too! All sorts of new goodies soon. I'm excited!

I'm not sure how to get it without spending an arm, two feet and a kidney.haha, I just reread this and now I think you were talking about wanting more power from you headlights, not more power than an EJ22. XD for that thought, you can swap(with minimal mod) in 99 OB multi reflector headlights and get more (photon/lumen) power
June 3, 201312 yr heres a few picts http://www.dirtyimpreza.com/forums/album.php?albumid=348 that's hella droop in pic 3!! 2" strut blocks on OB struts right? So that's disconnected FSB huh? hmmmm, nice! Edited June 3, 201312 yr by superu
June 5, 201312 yr Author No I meant more power for the EJ22. Ha. But brighter lights are always good too!!
