I noticed that the description under this forum targets the 2.5L crowd. There are people here also with 2.2L. ;)

Can one of the mods make this correction of give us our own forum. :lol:

BTW, this is my first post here...

who is discriminating.

No Way! The 22b is a 2.2l. I doubt anyone would dare hate on that. It's day job is handing out ass! You kidding?!?:D

I-club has always leaned towards 2.5's... However 2.2's are cool too. In fact a guy here recently did a home turbo kit using alot of WRX pieces on his L.

Subaru's are subaru's They're all cool.

I like the Legacy 2.2L closed deck turbo motors. They kick ass. I just don't want to do the motor swap to put in a 2.2L when the RS-T I have now works just fine. Maybe if/when it blows I'll consider it though. That and a good Chalak synchro dog box.

i have a 2.4l. where do i fit

I think everyone is misunderstanding this post. I meant it in a sarcastic way since the description for this forum is stated:

"Aftermarket Turbo
Turbo EJ25! Who said that all Subaru's are created equal?" :D

They are all not created equal. check out the Jun Hyper-Impreza.

:D

i turboed my L i have used the WRX Intercooler... and WRX Turbo... it came out pretty good i can post some pics... it still is slow.. i boost it 6psi but it will probaly keep up with 2.5 now

Well since everything from the 2.5 fits on the 2.2 I don't think there's any discrimination (minus cams / clutch)

My 2.2 N/A is faster then some RS's out there right now anyway, when I'm done with the turbo it'll be just as fast as a WRX.

So more power to the 2.2!

yes the 2.2 is a good motor ,however a beefy turbo would do it some good, Im going to put one on in the spring.
BRY mentioned that the kits for the 2.5 will work with the 2.2, is that true? hope it is, I was hoping I would not have to do a full custom job.

any advice on a stage II or III would be helpfull ....thanks

You fit in the factory turbo section. This forum is for people that put turbos on their cars that didn't come with one. No offense, just always bugs when a WRX owner answers a new guy's question totally wrong because his knowledge totally doesn't apply.

no kidding, it should read turboed GC8's, beauty and the beast!

I have a 2.2L NA turbo and I had a 2.5L turbo the main differance is in the torque and High end flow. The 2.2 heads are horrible with their single exhaust port and the car kind of falls flat. If I blow my head gasket I plan on 2.5 heads.

At Rallitek we have parts for 1.8 and 2.2 engines, The Borla headers for 1.8 and 2.2 single port are nice :)
We are also looking at the feasibility of an 2.2 conversion for the AVO turbo kit. It would most likely be a custom order and not something we stocked, locally we have a number of 2.2 Legacy motors that are turboed from the factory but tuned with intercoolers and MBC. Check out the News links at Rallitek.com, the Legacy project is pretty impressive already. e-mail me with any questions guys, I worked for Subaru for 7 years and know those engines inside and out.
Good Luck!

So I'm already an "outcast" with a 2.2 engine, what the hell am I goign to be when the 3.3 is fitted in a few days ? :D

This is funny. I too feel bonked with my stock 2.2. Since my L is a 96 and they seem to only make kits for newer models, I am stumped on what to do. Way too expensive to a fabricated kit!

I have weapon intake, borla exhaust and made a small change to my timing but still slow as ever. I love the AWD car though, just wishing for some power.

i wanna turbo for my 2.2 96L as well...so far it looks like custom fabrication or a legacy 2.2 turbo swap/build up...the wrx swap is soooo last year...LOL haahahahah

see my other posts where we can do a 2.2 kit - Rallitek says they could, so don't fret!

Call one of us and get it started ;)

No way!

Those who discriminate, are just scared. ;)

Here is what I got...

Details to come in 5 days...

I always said that the EJ22 was an old block and being Phase I, it is not a good choice for a motor build up. However, I did lots of research, and it looks like it is a good choise. We'll see...
