WESTcoast Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Til you hit the curb ^ And I, the guardrail I wish my story would of been cooler and filling with more explosives and police chases thou I just hit black ice and met my front end's demise, but its all going to be fixed and better than ever! broknindarkagain What kind of brakes were you going to put on your car? If your going with stock wrx brakes you wouldnt have to worry about clearence issues with your snowflakes they fit just fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted December 2, 2010 I Donated Share Posted December 2, 2010 broknindarkagain What kind of brakes were you going to put on your car? If your going with stock wrx brakes you wouldnt have to worry about clearence issues with your snowflakes they fit just fine! I have the WRX wheels on mine, not snowflakes. I'll be doing a brake swap eventually, not sure what I'll do though. I may go with STI wheels and STI brakes. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

0Tyrael0 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Alright sorry that im butting in on this thread. But I have the GT 2.5. Could I put the stock turbo from an ej22 into my car? How much boost does that offer? Im not trying to make my car super fast for super cheap or anything like that. Just trying to think of a simple way to do turbo on my car. I know the 2.5 cant run much boost. So I figured the stock one would offer just enough boost to make the car a bit quicker. What do ya think?

0Tyrael0 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Well I have read around and it seems it might be a bit of work. But im still pretty open to anyones opinion. My legacy is my winter car so it doesnt have to be crazy fast. Just looking for a bit more fun is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 honestly, its going to be more trouble than its worth... for more fun id go with exhaust, intake, cams, ignition and grounding upgrades etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0Tyrael0 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Yeah I figured you would say that. But I can see what you mean. I know you have a thread on this but how well does the 2.5 respond to exhaust? A few hp? 10? Or even if it just gave great throttle response that would be fine.

Zues Marine Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 for that engine, the optimal diameter is 2.25", and with an intake and headers, its reletively safe to say that gains will be around 7-12hp, certainly a mpg gain of 1-3, throttle response will improve slightly but thats more of a LW pulley's job... but numbers aside, the butt dyno will show massive gains, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Yes - the EJ22T turbo runs about 13 psi boost in stock form, which would be way more than I'd dare run on a stock EJ25 Phase 1 engine. Open deck engine, poor HG design, cooling issues and that's even before you take into account that you have to replace the whole cross-member just to accomodate an Up-pipe to the turbo, running oil and water lines, and tapping the oil pan to drain the oil from the turbo. It's so not worth it on an engine that's not capable of handling more than 4-5 psi of boost in stock form, if that. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's fair to say it's not a half bad idea on an EJ22E. But an EJ25 is another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOHCEJ22E1 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Older EJ25s shouldn't be boosted unless they are rebuilt to handle it. Their blown gaskets & thrown main bearings speak for themselves. As for older EJ22Es, thicker cylinder walls & less compression give them a better chance for survival under forced induction.

SBT Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 The DOHC heads do flow better than the EJ22's SOHC heads, but that's the only possible "benefit" I could see to the 1st gen EJ25 PI & II. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
