subikid90 Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 I've seen that happen a few times before. If you need that tensioner pulley I may have a spare one for you.. I am doing the upgrade to the new style, I have a kit sitting in my garage for my black car I will salvage the parts from. Looks like the black car is going to be sitting even longer now. Thanks for the offer tho, I need the car for class and work Monday. NAPA scared me when they told me the timing belt kit with the old style tensioner and water pump is $750 -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyfvholla Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I know how that is. Needing a car for school and work.... I've been without mine for a week and a half or two. I don't even rememebr how long it's been. Why was it so much money for the kit from NAPA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subikid90 Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Because the old style piston tensioner is like $200 plus $100 for the pulley. I was able to change over to a new style tensioner and get it back running. I think I have a valve or two that is slightly bent as I have lost power and have a louder valve tick now. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I have an old style tensioner and new tensioner pulley that I can send you for free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOHCEJ22E1 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 It's been a while since I've been here! LOL! New style tensioner is the best anyways. When I put the EJ22D together, I decided to use the new style tensioner since it seems like it is more suited to the job than the old one. It's easier to service too.

NAPA scared me when they told me the timing belt kit with the old style tensioner and water pump is $750 Thats ridiculous in price. NAPA is way overpriced for some things. Just get a kit from Amazon. I think you can get one for about $250.00 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOHCEJ22E1 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 What came with the GT Limited that was not on the GT ? Leather, some other extras ? Leather (standard). Sunroof (standard, not an option). Full body color (even the skirts match the body color). 99s have the snowflakes with golden accents on the spokes. 99s also have a 5 speed as an option while the 98s only got an auto.

subikid90 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Decided that I am going all out with this build.

Tigardace Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 count me in that number: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d138/TbirdMan2/0407111600a.jpg 220k on it, but it is an FL car with no rust to speak of, so as long as i keep the mechanicals sorted out (not exactly an easy job admittedly) it should have plenty more miles in it.

subikid90 Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 Damn man this is coming along quick. Nice rods, and hell why not go all out if you do it haha quick, it has been almost a year since I bought the parts for the build. As soon as I find a trans to take the power it will start to go quickly. I cannot balance the rotating assembly until I find the trans because I need the flywheel. Not sure if I will go 5sp ppg or 6spd yet. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subikid90 Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 the spec b 6spd is difficult to find. I might go with the STi 6spd and get a DCCD controller. The issue there is I have to do the hub and axle swap if it is 05-07 STi. I am unsure how much I will like the 6spd while auto-xing though. I might try to talk my buddy into letting me run his 05 STi to see how I like it. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subikid90 Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 I am working on the custom pistons right now, looking at a few different options/features. I am going to plug the oil squirters with aluminum plugs and then weld the plugs in so they cannot come out. I will have the machine shop send pictures of the plug when it gets done. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
