I just bought a 2000 Subaru Impreza L with EJ22 Motor. I was wondering what kinda of things i can do to my motor. Any ideas anyone?

 

i have a 1996 L that ive since turboed, vf11, forester xt top mount, custom up and down pipes, 8-10 psi daily, no management, stock fuel system, rising rate FPR...stage 2 wrx territory

 

turbo ftw

 

interisting.....

 

would a Garrett T3 T4 Turbo sound good?

 

NO...that is way too big, that would be like using an a-bomb to kill a mosquito....

 

You can install Subaru Svx 3.3 liter Pistons in a 2.2 and they have much higher compression. Also port and polishing the heads is fairly easy to do yourself although time consuming. Also you can send out your cams to a racing cam company such as Schneider racing cams and have them do a performance grind. Dont go any higher than a 256 duration grind or it will run rough at idle and the power will be too high in the rpm range(no bottom end)

 

I've got a '96 impreza L. same motor ej22 sohc. I've got a Tanabe catback, Spec stage 2 clutch kit, and an Intimidator cone filter with a MAF adapter. The exhaust definitely adds low end torque while the cone filter adds midrange power. With the uprated clutch, its a good starter combo....plus it really does sound gnarly! not sure what you're goin for. If you're lookin to go bolt on, this combo is it
