Would it be a goid idea to add on highflow injectors and fuelrail to a stock ej22?

Just joined this forum and have owned my subie for about a year

My instinct tells me "no." The stock OEM system is set up for optimum air//fuel performance mixture, and controlled by a computer. Attempting to add additional fuel via high flow injectors would not be helpful.

are you experiencing a problem?

 

post the symptoms and maybe someone will be able to offer a suggestion.

Just looking for upgrades that won't require to do extensive work to do

the best "upgrade" you could give your car would be a full "tune up" with quality parts

 

NGK plugs and wires

air filter

fuel filter

PCV valve

New vacuum lines

Complete timing kit (if needed/not done recently)

fresh antifreeze

and an oil change

 

there are not really any aftermarket "performance upgrades" for these cars.

If you are after "performance" - get a WRX.

+1 on keeping up with fluids and tune-up parts.

 

you can make the car feel sportier with suspension upgrades; new struts, heavier anti-sway bars, stickier tires.

 

and lighter rimes will free-up a coupla ponies and give you a chance to personalize the looks a little. Maybe a lightweight crank pulley too.

 

most cops don't care how fast you turn corners.

Hi,

Just 'adding fuel' doesn't do you any good w/out Engine Management (EM).

 

Are you coming from another brand/background that you have for reference? If you're new to cars in general than there's a ton of info online about upgrading a car's fueling needs, but it's not 'just because'. 

 

The main issue w/the EJ22's  is the lack of tuning options. If yours is in a '90-'94 there are limited options; if '95-'01 basically none that don't require a lot of wiring - harness merging, ECU-swapping, etc.

 

Do a search on NA-T -turbocharging a non-turbo Subaru  - for info....been done many times and as long you're not greedy it'll run for a long time too. My Link.

I've done just about all of these things as well as timed the car myself with the waterpump change

Then you are pretty much done.

 

there really is no "aftermarket" add-ons for them to increase performance - without spending a truckload of money, of course.

 

these cars are built for reliability & to some degree, economy, not "performance"

 

You could look at possibly adding a turbo, but that brings with it a whole host of other issues (and related costs).

 

Accept it for what it is. If you want "performance" go buy a performance car.
