monkeyposeur Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 If you go bigger than a td04 what other support mods do you think would be necessary if you are still using the stock ecu? Larger injectors and a piggyback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blankdeluxe Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 If you go bigger than a td04 what other support mods do you think would be necessary if you are still using the stock ecu? Larger injectors and a piggyback? If everything works out like I'm planning, I'm going to have a bonus check coming end of summer/fall and I want to use that to buy a haltech so I can actually tune this damn thing. Aside from that, I have bigger injectors in the garage already, I have a 255, I'm going to 3 inch exhaust and bellmouth downpipe either this weekend or next weekend, and I'll need a better hood scoop with an actually splitter to make sure I get enough airflow.

Do you have any idea how a similar setup would perform on a EJ25D?? I've been wondering for a while on doing the same thing. It looks easy, but I am not sure on the reliability of this engine with a turbo attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blankdeluxe Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 One of the guys in my subie club is running a AVO turbo kit on a stock 2.5 and it seems to be working perfect for him. Take that for what its worth though, I have seen a lot more 2.5's pop with very little boost. Personally if it were me I would use your heads and intake and put them on a ej22e block and run the hell out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 blank, what are the emissions requirements where you live? The reason I ask is I am curious if I swap in the 22T if I will still pass an emissions test. I only have to pass the sniff test. I'm guessing that I should be fine...

Colorado just has the sniff test as well. Well half the state does anyway. I register at my parents house even though I haven't lived there in 15 years so I don't have to deal with emissions but if I had to do them I don't see any reason why I wouldn't pass as long as I had the factory cats back in. I have no check engine lights, still OBD2, runs smooth, and the only smoke I have is a little oil burning which will get fixed when I go forged and put new rings in.

blankdeluxe Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 ^Blank...is that vid taken after the TBE installed that you posted pics of in the "what did you do" thread? That was before. I was using a stock DP that I gutted and tleg rear exhaust that I modified to fit. It was all 2.5" piping before. I just finished everything up on the new exhaust last night and I'm going to see if I can drag my GF out tomorrow to film a quick fly by that I can get posted up. When I was working on the new exhaust I ended up breaking two studs on my turbo so I had to pull it to fix that as well. Then I found a crack in my waste gate so I had a new hot side put on my turbo and then redid my oil lines and a few other parts while I had everything out.

blankdeluxe Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Nice! Did you install one of those turbos you picked up the other day? Yeah, I threw one of those on and fixed my oil lines while I had it out so I'm not leaking like crazy out of my oil drain. The other one will just sit on a shelf for a rainy day.

monkeyposeur Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Did you use a rrfpr when you put the 22T in? What AFRs were you shooting for? I'm still thinking about dropping a complete 22T longblock in my wagon instead of doing a hybrid (to tide me over until I save up) since I have the complete motor, heads, and all that stuff. What do you think about using the stock 22T injectors? I am also considering saving my hybrid build for a better body. My second gen has about 280k on the chassis and I don't know how much longer I want to hang on to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My second gen has about 280k on the chassis and I don't know how much longer I want to hang on to it. Sorry, haven't been spending time on the 2nd gen section much lately. No rrfpr at this point. I was shooting for 14.5 at idle and ideally below 11 at WOT. I normally run between 11 and 12 at WOT right now. You will need a piggy back for the 22t injectors. I ran them for about 3 days and I was just dumping fuel like crazy. With something built in to pull fuel, 22t injectors would be ideal for the setup.

monkeyposeur Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 No worries! I'm abandoning the L swap project anyway since I just picked up a cheap 03 WRB WRX with a burnt valve. So I'm dropping the 22T into that instead. 205 heads are being chamber matched at the moment. So I'm taking the easy way out, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blankdeluxe Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 I bought a 05 LGT wagon....I don't blame you. The old legacy is just going to be a track car now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blankdeluxe Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 5mt. I wouldn't do launches with it but it holds the power fine. From a rolling start I got WOT to 4k at least once a day. No slipping, no issues. Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk Just to do an update on this, the tranny did take a crap on me finally. They car will be getting another n/a tranny with blast plates and 4.11 gears for now and we will see how long that one lasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerohour Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Any updates on this car? I've now done a similar setup in 95 Lego wagon. I seem to be getting p0105 code for the pressure solenoid which leads to the pressure sensor. Seems to trigger only when I stay on boost on a "longer than 15 second" pull...basically driving up a tall sloping hills where I live. Did this happen to you? From the engine bay shots, looks like you have the 96+ pressure solenoid/pressure sensor) on the passenger strut tower. I also managed to get some cash for a wideband. Did you ever get one on the ej22e? I see super lean off throttle, while coasting in gear. I've read this is the factory ecu cutting fuel while coasting. Was curious if you could call confirm. Also, car is now great to drive. Thanks for being part of the inspiration for me to save an old Subaru from the crusher! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtdash Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Hi, '96 EJ22E potential turbo candidate. What were your original AFR's -b4 the HG blew and the EJ22T install? How many miles on that EJ22E when the HG blew? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaQuan15 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Okay , so I'm new to the car scene and I'm trying to best educate myself on my vehicle. I have a 3rd generation 00 legacy Brighton that I'm looking to turbo charge in the near future. Any suggestions that you have when performing something like this? All is much appreciated, thank you.

monkeyposeur Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Easiest route would be to buy a wrecked Baja turbo and swap everything over. Or buy a wrecked wrx or STi and swap everything over and have iwire merge the harness. I don't think third gens play as nice with a simple (lol) turbo swap like blankdeluxe did.
