Sorry to resurrect am old thread. I had mine installed last night. They are bouncy as @&$#. I'm about ready to take them off. I assumed the mechanic knew what he was doing and installed for most comfortable ride. I'll see if I can get some instructions from ISC as I bought them used on this forum.

so I talked to a guy who made this swap and he told me to keep my EJ25's intake manifold, extend the o2 sensor on the downpipe and VOILA. The car is supposed to run good but I would get more power if I get a tune.

Can someone please elaborate on this?

So the motor swap has been completed since Jan-14 and all in all, very happy with the EJ20x. Near the end I was scrambling to figured out the TMIC and DP situation and valleylegacy on these forums hooked me up with an HKS JDM downpipe and stock JDM TMIC to button it up. The car now has 6300 miles on it since completion and is still running stock USDM ECU without the Quad AVCS. Haven't even taken it to get emissions tested yet because I've been so busy. Used Tactrix OpenPort 2.0 with RomRaider to delete the air pump and the ECU hasn't thrown a code in months. Over the winter when I'd get on it a bit, it'd throw an O2 sensor code, but now that it's warming up, not an issue. It run strong in the mid range, around 5500 it falls on it's face, most likely due to the exhaust cam.

Can you elaborate on this air pump?

That's a strange one. Seems like that may be coming from the engine , in particular the valves. I may be wrong, but I'm thinking the frequency of the taps would be greater were it to be turbo related.

MMO has a following on BITOG so it must be good

 

I'm still wanting to find out specifics about two lost engines to MMO, as well as how injector cleaners reduce octane and which then induce knock ...

Maybe coincidental. But basically had to replace an engine in my Ford Escort then in my WRX..like I said, other contributing factors May have been the cause. But can't afford to keep on experimenting to narrow results and come to definite deduction. So I'll play it safe and eliminate that variable and go with the hypothesis.

Yeah though I walk through the valley of the shadow, I fear no man because Faith is my arrow.

Rotfl. Somewhere along the highway. Touché...exactly the the response I would give..

my grandfather is 90 and swears by marvel mystery oil in every car he has owned. I like seafoam on a regular basis, compliments spirited driving well.

I Lost two engines while using this product. May be coindicent....amy not...but I think I'm starting to see a trend. Gonna Stay far away. I know a lot of mechanics recommend Techron, and Redline is supposed to be good, but all I've used on this GT is Gummout, not regularly though.

Have: 05 OBP Winged

Want: OBP Wingless.

All 3x it was number 4 cylinder ringland failure.

Just like me then . I have an issue in #4 though my issue may be valve related.

I don't want to threadjack and start a debate here, but I mean it can't be the piston's fault in #4 since the piston and rings must be built to the exact same specs as the other 3. So the issue must come from either fuel delivery, ignition, or timing.

Now y'all have me worried. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/feeler-sorta-211057.html?p=4507845 .Now I'm really leaning towards starting anew. Can't be driving afraid for Mr. Piston #4 to rear its ugly head.

Good info here! Thanks for the link Max! If you were doing this again would you have gone with a built block after hearing all this? Not for power goals but for peace of mind...

 

Getting ready to swap a shortblock myself...second guessing going new though...I always assumed that built blocks were more likely to fail but if this is a constant issue I fell I may be kidding myself to even bother with an OEM block...

Pretty much same predicament I was faced with...and felt like the forged pistons, though more reliable and giving peace of mind, would require a lot more maintenance and monitoring. Also, sorry to thread jack/ resurrect old thread.

how soon you need/want a dp?

I would like one...is it for 5mt?
