April 19, 201511 yr Author changed the oil, engine runs smoother and better, not saying this fixed the hesitation... after resetting the ecu i got 2 codes 11- Crank Angel Sensor (no idea where this is loacted) 34 - EGR solenoid or circuit
April 25, 201511 yr Author in the process of replacing the head gaskets on my loyale.. is there anything i can do (while its out) to increase HP ? also i plan on chagning the clutch to an XT6 clutch, from what i understand i need the xt6 flywheel and then the xt6 clutch will fit ?
April 25, 201511 yr Yes, while it's out throw it away and put an EJ in its spot, voila, more hp! Just kidding, but changing to an XT6 clutch won't make a difference without the XT6 flywheel, because the flywheel is where you are going to get better throttle response as it is lighter. Obviously change any leaking gasket or seal while you've got the engine out, you already knew that though I'm sure!
April 26, 201511 yr Author i wish i had everything to throw in an ej22 ! i so would love it.. i know the xt6 is stiffer, as i drive one way stiffer than loyale.. i hope the xt6 flywheel (being lighter) would help me climb hills... 90hp sucks climbing hills yeah i knew about changing gaskets i got this kit. http://www.ebay.com/itm/220699367298?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
April 26, 201511 yr Nice! Good gasket set for sure. The only other thing I've done is hollow out the cat and I've even built my own Y pipe header before and had just a cherry bomb after the Y then straight out the back and that seemed to help alot, I don't know if you have to pass smog where you live though.

EDIT: and its out, saoking in kerosene to clean up all that grease, grime and well you know wha else...lol Kerosene soaked well gonna install XT6 clutch, and maybe shave the heads for more power... what are your guy's thought on shaving the heads? Edited April 26, 201511 yr by SubaruJawn
April 29, 201511 yr put a 2.2 in it. obdII will give ya 135 hp. put stainless header and if you don't have smog, take out the cat.

May 1, 201511 yr ...Crack between the valves, on 3 sylinders Cracks between the Valves are somehow considered "Normal" for the EA82 heads, as far as they doesn't go too deep...
May 1, 201511 yr Author its alright to reinstall them ? i was just gonna do the gaskets till i seen the crack... as long as its okto reinstall them, i suppose i could..
May 1, 201511 yr Normal for sure, get her back togeather! The worst that could happen is you blow it up and in the mean time you get ready for a Ej swap
May 2, 201511 yr That crack is normal only if it doesn't go to the coolant passage or to the exhaust passage as one pair od my heads do.
May 3, 201511 yr Author Cleaned off the Cylinders, had lots of carbon Build up.. took me awhile to clean them up this good.

July 15, 201510 yr ...New Blue Headlight bulbs 8000K Extreme Blue ... Appreciated SubaruJawn, Very respectfully let me tell you this, despite that I know that you will not like my advise: Try to avoid driving on Rainy nights with those Blueish lights, the deep blue accent of the light is somehow "Swallowed" by humidity, making to drive on wet pavement with such "illumination" to be pretty Dangerous. Such kind of bulbs are used more for the Looks they give to the car, but they really provides much worser illumination. Kind Regards.
