1-3-2-4 Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 Oh ok.. another question is I noticed the flex pipe section of the up pipe was fraying because it was rubbing.. a few tugs and it broke apart.. I'm not sure if I should put another flex section on again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 That's why I don't buy up pipes with a flex joint. Invidia up pipe, no flex joint.

1-3-2-4 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Yeah after I saw that never again will I get one with a flex section.. it took little to no force for it to pull apart and it was already fraying rubbing on the motor. I ordered about $150 stuff from subarupartsforyou. I'm just waiting for the email for me to come pick up the order sometimes they forget but it was mostly stuff like that pipe that goes to the oil cooler in front and under the main TB cover that whole pipe was rusted so I got that.. the other stuff I forgot what I ordered lol I dread having to do the hoses.. OH speaking of that and because I have EJ22 heads that have been sitting in my house for 2 years the oil filler next is the same right? I ask because i did not know the EJ255 heads the middle section was screwed in and I pulled on it and snapped the plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I would guess it could be the same. check the opposedforces web link at the top of the very first forum. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

1-3-2-4 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 still haven't gotten a PM back from him yet.. but I have another question not sure I need a new head but the cam journal is pretty badly marked up but from what I have seen not the cam cap.. I need to figure out if it's not going to be a issue or get another head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Sounds like you need a new head unless you know a good machine shop that can weld the journal and then machine it back to spec. for the cam to fit in. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

1-3-2-4 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 I think a single new head is like $560-ish or something like that.. I'm not sure if I want to mess with a used head given how I got burned the last time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-3-2-4 Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 I think I'm just going to get new.. btw I still haven't heard from underdog in regards to the Spec clutch and the Streetlite flywheel working together I might just email Spec and find out that way.

Max Capacity Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Spec has great customer service. I was emailing Jeremy back in Feb/Mar when I ordered my Spec 2+. With the Holiday's coming up...my take a little longer for response's.

1-3-2-4 Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 This is what Spec emailed me back yesterday "Will the SU253H clutch work with the ACT streetlite ACT 600480?" You would use the SU203H (06+ WRX unit) for that flywheel, as for some reason ACT made that flywheel for the 228mm WRX clutch instead of the 240mm Legacy GT clutch (SU253H).
