slowlego Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 If running a 2.5L DOHC would run NGK Platinum PFR5B-11 - Gap .044 (change at 60K miles) If running a 2.2L SOHC would run NGK Copper BKR6ES-11 - Gap .044 (change at 30K miles) ClubPlug.net is the best place i've found to buy NGKs and after more than 30 years of Subarus, that's all I run in mine. Not sure the efficacy of going +/= on temp for the NA (both DOHC and SOHC) engines, unless you're running some serious compression or you're planning to "boost" FYI: NGK Platinum PFR5B-11 - Gap .044 clubplug.net = $12.06 rockauto.com = $9.77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Good to know. I buy in bulk (lol) so I get a bit better price. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmarks11 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 with a different cold air intake that goes into the fender, would you have to remove the fender to install it or would you just put it through the hole leading to the fender?

Zues Marine Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 removing the fender would make things a billion times easier... then you can also remove your snorkus as well... be careful with the fender filter though, as water,snow, etc.. has a much better chance of getting sucked up from over the liner and hydro-locking your engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Might be a bit easier to pull the fender liner (back) than to take the whole fender off. I de-snorkus'd my 98 GT and had no problem getting it out of the fender without any fuss. Agree with ZM re water/moisture in your intake if you go too far down the wheel well, or your fenderline is shot. HLing the engine is not wise. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigran82 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Just making sure, if I buy that eBay short ram intake above, do I have to buy the MAF Adapter also listed above?

Frogg Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 center console from an 04 sti should fit right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 you need to trim it considerably and take your time.. lots of guess and check involved thats how the wrx console install went for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogg Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) that's not a problem, but what needs to be trimmed? and anyone know if factory subaru wheels use ball seat or acorn lug nuts? Edited December 7, 2010 by Frogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98 Legacy BlkGld Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 are the ebay headers the same as the knock off headers that you are talking about? will puting on the headers throw a check engine light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 that's not a problem, but what needs to be trimmed? for my wrx one needs to be trimmed up near the hvac and radio bezel, enough to clear and still keep the stock holes to mount it down headers: it depends on what buyer you get them from, there's been a recent report from a member on here (qiman) of the ebay ones not fitting like advertised and his calls ignored.. the speedyracer knockoffs, ive never heard of any fitment or other issues with them and for only a couple dollars more shipped, itd be safest to go with them, imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98 Legacy BlkGld Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 will it throw a check engine light? I dont see why it would because im not taking out any cats. Anyone that has put headers in their legacy, this is to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 its hit and miss, i didnt get a CEL but if the increased exhaust flow does trip a code, the PO420 code has many simple fixes.. like the rear o2 spacer method Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frogg Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Any problems with adding a lightweight crankshaft pulley? google turns up many different answers... (looking at rallitek) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 a light weight pulley and a lightweight flywheel will offset each other in general and many times cause a CEL more that one pulley is ultimately a waste of money as well since the gains are so minuscule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
