SubaruJawn Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruJawn Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 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 ?

Scooner Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruJawn Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooner Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 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?

Prwa101 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-tombba- Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 ...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.
