yes. you can drive it onto a trailer and stuff to get it in for dyno tuning if that's your plan

Where did you get your vf52?

I'm looking at upgrading mine also. ebay has reman ihi ones for $400 but always weary of those lol

Or PM JmP and see what he say's. Or has in stock.

 

Oh, I'm very happy with my vf52 and custom tune.

 

I searched JmP and it said he hasn't been online since 2016???

 

I've been looking at getting a vf52 also, ebay has reman ihi ones for $400....

Are those any good or do we want to make sure the cartridge is OEM?

there will be some oil in there from normal blow by from engine/turbo, if its excessive could be turbo going out or pcv issue

Is there a sticky that I'm missing or a web link that shows all the specs for rebuilding the Subaru engine?

 

I'm starting from a short block ej255 so anything before that isn't needed.

 

Thanks

How do you install wideband for AP data logging to get etuned?

PM "covertrussian" with that question or he may have talked about it in his thread.

 

didn't find anything in his thread or other threads he has done. Did find the evap removal and will be doing that.

I'll have to message him or cryo on the wideband datalogging.

I'm pretty sure I'll have cryo retune car with etune

PMed you.

 

Did not receive pm.

I also don't have any sent messages for some reason. Maybe an mod or ad can help?

It's a Subaru, there are no "cheap" mods lol

 

I would start with what Max Capacity mentioned although an oil analyses might be a little over kill unless there is know issues or any components such as turbo or internal failure have occurred in the past.

 

The usual bolt-ons will do but first get yourself an Accessport before any motor related mods

So after 6mnths the motor is finally getting put back together and into car. I sold all my upgraded turbo and fuel stuff and will be sticking with the stock vf46 that was in it (as the turbo wasn't the issue)

 

I will however be putting in the tgv deletes and air pump delete.

I'm sure I'll need to retune for those removals and will need to install a wideband for logging and etune.

How do I install the wideband and connect it to the AP for datalogging?

My DP has a o2 port right behind the turbo, would that be efficient as location and leave the factory o2 in place and connected farther down the DP?

 

Thanks

Turbo inlet hose?

Interested in the Turbo inlet hose

I have one. Hasn't been bolted on since fully ceramic coating $200

I removed the rubber insert on mine once I noticed rust under the paint. Damage was already done and kept getting worse.

They don't make replacement panels for these.

 

I'm in the same issue here in MN, the rust cancer is on every Subaru wheel wells here and. I'm down to a selling price of $5k for my '07 lgt manual and my rust isn't even that bad.

It's the typical Subaru community wanting to pay dirt bottom to buy and asking full new retail to sell lol

Looking to get car back to stock.

In need of

Stock downpipe

Stock Radiator

Complete set of working heads that I can bolt on and go.

 

All parts are for a '07 lgt 5mt

 

Thanks

Looking for ej25 shortblock. Stage 2 or better. Or internals to build my block.

Thanks

How about the sti booster and master swap?

I'm really learning towards an electric vac pump setup, but the iag system looks to be the better option out of all other aos.

Read about some people using an electric vacuum pump such as ones on the supercharged mustangs and even the gran national groups using old smog pumps converted into a vacuum pump for forced induction applications

What's your thoughts on each kit,

 

Grimmspeed

Crawford

IAG

Other

retain OEM PCV system with an AOS?

I think you know what we're going to say.

 

Have the heads rebuilt and install with ARP head studs. You need to decide if you plan to keep the car ? If done right, it will give you years of pleasure.

 

Show the machine shop these pictures. install a new PCV.

 

I think you have read through my click here link in my sig.

 

Contacted local machine shop that has done Subaru and other import motors from mild to wild. Will be dropping off motor Monday.

 

I'm now debating if I should put in a set of forged pistons or leave the stock ones in.

If I go with Forged whats good and whats bad? any brand better then others or better with piston slap?

Seller is Subaru Parts Online and states it's genuine Subaru.

As a comparison my local dealer wants $370

https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Subaru-Engine-Gasket-Forester/dp/B01HSHFPAM

Heuburger wants $488

Amazon has same kit for only $255

Is heuberger still the place for gasket kit?

What's the best way of cleaning up all this oil residue, brake or carb clean or other solvent?

Should the heads and valves be fine if left alone?
