amp27 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 yes. like 5psi does some. but imo the cost outway the gains. well maybe not. you do learn with a low boost and then you can move up. so i guess it wouldnt be bad. you can always sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddog Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Yeah I'm hungry for more power. If I stick with the Subaru I want to have it turbo'd for more power otherwise a Talon is in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baddog Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Well I want more power and if I can't get it out of this then I will have to look else where. I really don't want to get rid of it but I am power hungry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worknlikeadog Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 You should shut up. Headers are part of the exhaust. What I meant is head. Thanks anyways wow Well in my opinion the best way to learn more about your engine is; go find a broke down ej22 or ej25 in a junk yard give them $50 for it. Take it home, go to napa/autozone/advancedauto/o'reillys get yourelf a haynes manual and start to break it down. And put it back together. Its a lot of fun.

boarderdude1990msn.com Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 if you run boost past like 8, it will blow quick unfortunately NA ej22s and ej25s dont like being boosted. but the 2.2 likes it a little better as ive seen a few setups. If you want the motor to last you need to build it up internally, but on low boost it should be okay for awhile, just make sure you get your worth out of the car and not have it blowup after only a week What do you need to do internally I just bought a turbo for my n/a ej25?
