s2baru Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Probably in the neighborhood of +48, a lot higher offset than non-subaru wheels. A lot of aftermarket wheels are the wrong offset. It might be stamped on the inside of the wheel Managed to get a wheel off. Despite the years of brake dust I had to wire brush off they're 15x6 +55 if anyone else needs the info.

SnowMongoose Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Drove her! Established that I fixed the cooling system leak, great success! Waiting to hear back from the shipping company regarding my claim on the damage in transit to the EJ20R + trans sitting in my garage meow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_sly_man Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 A couple days ago I replaced the horn relay which was a major pain in the ass. It is way back up under the fuse box so I had to remove an interior panel, unbolt the fusebox then still finagle my arm up trough wires to get to the relay. After I found it, I went to auto zone to order another pne. Turns out my car is set up for the relay from a 1993 impreza, not legacy. Oh well, got the new impreza part, horn works! Also yesterday I got a spare tire :3 it was a pain to find a 17x7 +40mm rim without ordering it, got a couple nice ones on craigslist from a guy. Finally getting this safety stuff out of the way.

USLiberty Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) Went to bleed my clutch because it was slightly mushy, and try a spiffy new brake bleeder I got. Turns out it didn't work, just sucked air through the threads on the bleeder valve. Now it has cavitation and wont pull any fluid in when I do it the old fashioned way. Im gonna try putting some pressure on the reservoir to try pushing the air out when I have some light in the morning. *figured out that I had a 2 pieces of hydralic hose seperated by a bleeder valve fitting going to my slave. Not sure if this is a legacy ss or a wrx part but I'm going to eliminate it since its not mentioned in my repair manual. Figured its just an extra piece to go wrong and add mushyness.

Abeall2 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 So I did a ej22t swap and new 5 speed, well 80k less miles on it at least lol and 2nd gear still works so thats fun. But I didn't change my harness, i have the little boost control solenoid, pressure sensor and that thing that looks like a fuel injector resistor of sorts. I have the ej22t computer and harness but i didnt want to take my whole dash apart to replace the harness cuz stuff always gets broken. Im wondering if i can just tap in the boost controller stuff into my blanks in my ecm plug and then my new computer will work? cuz it wont run as of yet, my old ecm runs the turbo engine but im kinda worried it might lean out. also boost acts wierd and doesnt work sometimes....

You can use the 22T ecu without doing a harness merge or taking apart the dash. You will have to swap the polarity of a cam or crank sensor, I forget exactly which. You might have some boost leaks. I'd install a boost gauge so you know what is going on with the turbo. And since you aren't using the 22T currently you need a manual boost controller unless you want to count on the wastegate pressure to regulate your boost.

mnstrmech Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I got me a trans cooler and installed it over the weekend. Its not much, but better than nothing. Made a bracket for it http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s305/sadiemaerogers01/0529141623_zps61e98b27.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s305/sadiemaerogers01/0530140938_zps48650007.jpg And installed, but pic taken just before i ran the hoses. Runs radiator cooler to this then back to trans http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s305/sadiemaerogers01/0531141834_zpsf58e39c2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Put in some new infinity speakers in the rear deck Slightly lost for what coilovers are compatible for my 91. And also downpipes??? Heard that pretty much everything from gc8 suspension wise is plug and play but I haven't researched threads much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard that pretty much everything from gc8 suspension wise is plug and play but I haven't researched threads much[/QU1qqqqve my infinity 6-1/2 components, just powered off the head unit theyre good. gc8 coilovers are plugnplay but it depends what kinda of ride quality you want and willing to pay. I have 900$ ksport coilovers with the lowest spring rate I could find. lots of talk if how bad they are but for me the benefits of handling outweigh the comfort factor. I installed a recaro seat out of a mercedes e class amg and the harsh ride quality issue went away... for the most part. Pros: cheap, adjustable ride height, adjustable dampening, good handling on smooth roads and tracks, girlfriend hates it. Cons: rough/stiff ride quality, less shock travel than stock, horrible for offroad/rallying specifically washboard roads, girlfriend hates it but she doesnt enjoy fast cornering.

s2baru Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Ya the infintys sound ok from being on the aftermarket headunit. The highs i hate though, they were free thoough so i cant complain and i also go a free 8inch woofer In a small box which i need to find an amp for. Might throw some components up front if i find something kn clearance. As for the coils situation...my other subie has tein street basics on it so ride quality isn't something I am overly concerned about, they're like 5 and 6 so a free bumps just comes with the nature of improved handling, some type of sacrifice has to be made. I'll dig in the rs2.5 forums and maybe find a local deal on some perhaps. Also trying to track down some wrx seats or corbeaus for sub 400$. VF28, tmic, injectors I can score from a friend for 300$ so I'm gonna jump on that within the next few weeks and try to figure out how to tune this little fella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USLiberty Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Can try running a larger power and ground wire to your aftermarket headunit. it will stop dimming and produce less distortion with the extra power on tap. 6-1/2" components are better than 5-1/4" coaxials, just need a spacer to clear the window glass. My ksports are better than teins,as I noticed my buddy with a 2.5rs STI with teins catching air on a bump mid corner where I stayed planted behind him.

USLiberty Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) Looks really fun! I need to do some autoxing, been modding a turbo legacy since 2001. what tires you running there and does that have a rear lsd? did you remove any interior/were u allowed to? coilovers and installing the battery in the spare wheel well helped my initial turn-in in a big way.

s2baru Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 That was my first time doing it with this one instead of my 5thgen. This is more fun because of how nimble it is. No coil overs or anything just kyb excelg struts, the tires are pretty terrible just some fuzion touring tires m+s 400treadwear. So not exactly the best thing on a completely stock car. Stickier tires would help and yes coils for sure. I left everything inside but did remove the spare and as far as I know the car has a lsd already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublimejoe Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 YES!!!!!!! Today I found an EJ22 longblock for sale for SUPER cheap AND local. Going to see how it looks and more than likely just rebuild it while its out of the car and easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sublimejoe Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Under 700 or so$ ? That's awesome if that's the case! I hope you're sitting down, I paid $40 for it! Its a complete longblock and also came with a radiator and some other stuff. I knew checking Craigslist ten times a day would eventually pay off. My friend picked it up for me because it was about 1.5 hours from me, so once I pick it up from him I will have a better idea of what I am working with. The guy who did own it pulled it from a running car so heres to hoping it is still at least close to running condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s2baru Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I'm gonna see how the car responds to them. It might be my mind but right now it seems to run smoother in higher rpms. I can always switch back too, once we got them out I was like "well, old owner new to pick something worthwhile than crap" engine should be good another 50-100,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
