BoozeRS05 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 That BPV line looks like it needs snugged up on there. And I have to ask. What's the blue accordian tube off the intake?

Beauchemin Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 That BPV line looks like it needs snugged up on there. And I have to ask. What's the blue accordian tube off the intake? Yeah the bpv line has been snugged up and ziptied, thanks for looking out, the high preformance pool hose hahahha!!!! It is recirulating my bpv, if i let the bov vent to atomosphere my car wont run at idle per the maf based motor i have, pool hose will shortly be upgraded to something more suitable haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauchemin Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 It has been a while since i have been able to work on the leggy, planning my wedding has been sucking up all my time and money. But i buy a new Bosch wideband sensor and wired in my Lc-1. Now just need to find time to get the Smt 6 in and start getting the most out of it http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g238/beauchemin/Db1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kdubsteezey Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 One quick question, Since you used the ej25 heads and intake you didn't have to do any splicing as far as the wiring harness goes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauchemin Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Thanks guys Monkeyposeur - parts cleaner and elbow grease, and lots of it haha Kdubsteezey - correct, no wiring and running stock ecu, but EM need to be wired in if you wanted to run more boost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauchemin Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 Ok so it's been a while since I've been on but I have made a little progress on the legacy. The clutch couldn't handle the boost anymore (Why I put a stock clutch in...idk) and the motor started to leak a little oil so out she came http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g238/beauchemin/Mobile%20Uploads/image_8.jpg The cheapo eBay header (that I had to stretch to fit) ended up rubbing against a line in my rack so much it made a hole and started to leak fluid. So grabbed a rack and decided to swap to the legacy ss subframe http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g238/beauchemin/Mobile%20Uploads/image_9.jpg http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g238/beauchemin/Mobile%20Uploads/image_11.jpg http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g238/beauchemin/Mobile%20Uploads/image_10.jpg Then yesterday I took myself on a little road trip http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g238/beauchemin/Mobile%20Uploads/image_16.jpg And got a great deal on a ej255 http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g238/beauchemin/Mobile%20Uploads/image_15.jpg http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g238/beauchemin/Mobile%20Uploads/image_14.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dxg1997 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 This is looking awesome. I have the EJ22 in my 1997 Legacy L, and shes got 205k, and still runnin real strong. not tickoring or anything. Do you know if anything else happened to the EJ22 you had in that? If its just leaking? I may want to buy it from you.
