TurboLady Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 My 94 Legacy Turbo 2.2l finally cracked one of the heads. Made it to just shy of 220k. We think we have the heads, amazingly enough they didn't take long to find, unlike so many other parts for this car. If you own one you know what I mean! However, my son has not been able to find a head gasket kit for the turbo. Was there a separate one for this or is it the same gasket for both turbo and NA versions? Thanks!

thedeadhp Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I would not run one from an NA. They are thinner and will blow out pretty early on in their life.... IIRC you can use wrx ones and thatll work but you might have to look around a bit. I think the only difference between those ones is with the sti and wrx. because of the different blocks (yours and the wrx is semi open deck and the sti is closed deck) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisty Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 im assuming you have the EJ22T motor, and those head gaskets are all over ebay. being a closed deck engine, yours is much different from the EJ22 in 95 and up. go to ebay and do a search for EJ22T head gasket and you should find what you need.

TurboLady Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Thanks for responses. Yes it is the EJ22T motor. Wonder why he's having problems finding. I'll let him know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtdash Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 The '91-'94 EJ22T is a closed-deck block. It's NOT the same as the NA (non-aspirated) 2.2 in the '90-'98 Legacy/Impreza, so you must use the EJ22T specific head gasket, P/N: 11044AA282. About $55 each last time I checked on Ebait. Search online as some Subaru dealers' pricing is better. You might find it on Cometic's site as well - and cheaper. The EJ205 '02-'05 is an open-deck WRX; '06+ WRX Ej255 and STi EJ257 are semi-closed-deck blocks. Head gaskes are not compatible between these and EJ22T.

TurboLady Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 I did wind up buying the Cometic gaskets. I have all necessary parts on the way, found a good set of heads (6 hour drive later, luckily son has a Subie too!) which will go to the machine shop once I have the cam shaft & valve head seals. We're also replacing timing belt, water pump, and all hoses. Now that we know we can get everything my brother and son will start the tear down on Saturday. My bum legs don't allow for working on cars much anymore. Thanks again for all your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
