Awesome! Cant wait to see the wagon version.

why take out all the sound deadening material? for weight?

[QUOTE=stupidchicken03;3664787]Awesome! Cant wait to see the wagon version.[/QUOTE]


thank you, try to copy the sedan but ill tone the motor down for there wagon


[QUOTE=rallied out wrx;3664788]why take out all the sound deadening material? for weight?[/QUOTE]

weight, my sedan never came with it that's why its so light weight
















many parts have come in for the motor now its time to dig a ej22t block out and build it while I wait for paint work.

Wossner Made in Germany forged 22B pistons and connecting rods, STD size pistons means no messing around with my ej22t block & machine shop ��.... I should have just built all my ej22T this way :rolleyes:


[img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48016498546_2746251d6f_b.jpg[/img]


ACL racing STD size bearings not race version, STi spec-c oil cooler adapter, proper water pump with single port and old school timing belt tensioner from the ej22t aka the motorsports racing tensioner.


[img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48016497611_9787198d1f_b.jpg[/img]

aurora asm-10T military aviation spec front control arm spherical bearings, this will all me to run longer aka normal Subaru length CV axles and also camber. I won't need to modify the front crossmember to except XT6 front control arms.

The old school Subaru guys are going to find this one interesting !

1986-93 GL-10 TURBO engine Crossmember
1991-04 New age Subaru Steering rack

what we have here is a option that I can take advantage of

18:0 GL-10 steering ratio
15:1 STI 2004 steering ratio ( my new rack is on the way 😁✌️)
