So, my recent Reno blitz has sealed the proverbial deal, and my phase 1 DOHC EJ25 is preparing for a dirt nap. Terminal rod knock, lifters are gone, valves are sticking, pistons are slapping, oil is hemhorraging, etc.

Good news?
We can rebuild it. We have the technology. I don't have the money or the donor for an EJ20 swap right now, but Joe stepped up with some trick parts; I'm doing a new motor (good condition phase-2 bottom end with the better pistons, JDM heads, mebbe a little port work) and Joe is an absolute pimp when it comes to pricing.

Noone should ever have had any questions, but this new merger just means you have twice as many enthusiastic car guys who care about customers in the same great place, ready to help out. Two thumbs up for Alfas & Subarus/Suabaru Specialists/S-Squared!

 

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS KIDDIES !!!

 

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha.

 

I bet you could run 11s with that.

 

Only with 2 of 'em.

 

only after you adjust the injector pulse width another few milliseconds

you have a nasty hole in your fuel map

 

That "hole" is called stock injectors and pump trying to flow at 200% duty cycle.

 

injectors run better after they have been welded open from high duty cycles !

 

whoa, so you are getting a new engine eh? That is awesome...

 

wow im sorry hope things work out though

 

I think he is thinking about going legit, you know.. the NOPI circuit.. have you heard of it ?

 

"oh hell yeah..."

 

poor wagon

 

Well that sucks...

Time for a STI transplant or maybe a new Legacy turbo wagon...

 

You offering up your new home equity line to grab me a rolled STi?

I've already got a new motor lined up, just won't be a turbo, for now. Long-term plan is still an EJ20/EJ25T.
