beezer Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Went to change the rotors on the front of my car, yeah they gave me the wrong size rotors. Didn't think of it until I reassembled everything, should have measured what size rotors are on the front. Does any one know off hand what size the stock rotors are on these cars? Don't want to walk out of the store with the wrong size rotors again. I noticed on another thread that Legacy777 put an oil cooler on his car. What benefits are there to doing this? What kind of a job is it? Is it worth it? When I changed my trans fluid (5 spd manual) I measured out 3.5L or whatever the owners manual said was the capacity was, and poured it in. It measures about 3/4 of an inch above the full mark. I can see some fluid still being trapped in the trans but, not that much. I'd drain some out, but I didn't want to until I got a couple of opinions. On the air control valve is there supposed to be 2 gaskets betweeen it and the TB? I only have one metal gasket. I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that there is 2. This just came to me now, I haven't had it off in months. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 The rotors are 260mm in diameter. Those are for the non-turbos.The oil cooler I put on is a stock subaru oil filter, and can be found on the foresters and a few other cars. I've actually got a n/a oil cooler I thought would work with the turbo setup, but it won't clear the cross pipe. If your idle air control valve is similar to the US ones, there should only be one gasket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beezer Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 First, thanks Legacy777, you have a turbo? Thought it was a N/A. Don't know much about oil coolers, do they just screw in, bolt onto where the oil filter goes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I rebuilt an ej22t motor and swapped it into my car. I finished everything up this past weekend http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/ej22t The subaru oil coolers are pretty straight forward to install. I believe I have some pictures in there. http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/ej22t/20/ The cooler attaches to where the oil filter goes, there's a longer tube that screws into the block, and the coolant comes off the block through a fitting that replaces a block plug. Take a look at the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beezer Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 Crystal clear on the oil cooler. I've seen oil coolers before, but they had their own little rad type thing. Did you put the cooler on mostly because of the turbo? Very nice engine, that should be more fun! Any ideas on the mystery part? My guess, it looks like one of the dead end tubes on some newer intakes (not sure what there purpose is). Why it would be hanging around an ej22t I don't know. Are you selling the plans for your engine stand? (If it works who cares huh) Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Yeah I added it sort of because and the turbo. The mystery part ties the PCV system into the turbo inlet piping. It was just an adapter. Hahahaha....yeah...I take cash & money order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
