Engine/Power - EJ20T (pre-2006 WRX and JDM) There is replacement for displacement, it is forced induction - OEM 2.0 liter turbo engines in the USDM WRX. 90-94 Legacy Turbo EJ22 turbo engines can also be discussed here.

I got cool stuff what's it cost to put on?

Hell, this dude could be a formula one driver for all we know he just has some questions about his wrx. I think it is good to ask, THAT IS HOW YOU LEARN. The day a driving school teaches anything mechanical sign me up. I'm sorry if i'm one your case it just seemed a little harsh with absolutly no warrant.

if you do all the installs at once, it won't be so bad.

i would group it like this:

Hks Carbon-Ti exhust
Hks up-pipe
Helix downpipe
IHI Vf34

up, dp are quite easy when the turbo's out of the way. the rest of the dp-back exhaust is <30 mins.

Perlin fuel rails
Sti injectors
NGK spark plugs

again, once the parts to get at the rails are out of the way, the injectors and plugs are MUCH easier.

Perlin oil catch can

you could do this, after the major work.

Walbro fuel pump

you could do this now.

Utec and remote map thingy
Hks turbo timer(type 1)

you could do this now too.

don't know how many miles on your car, but think about flushing coolant... a lot of it will likely spill during the turbo swap. add water wetter if you do flush.

You can do a thermostat swap, but how do you know you will overheat? .. Anyways thermostats are cheap and easy to install so you may as well, if anything you might gain .0002HP because you engine runs a little cooler.

BTW: I totaled a 1994 Acura Integra .. But it wasn't my fault. "Stupid Chevy Metro's Runing Red Lights"
