So the kit is on....running no boost. The fmic piping isnt connected yet so im still running N/A. I think I may be the first person to try this combo so im gona lay out in detail exactly what I am doing. First off heres the video:





Specs: 1995 Subaru Impreza L
-1.8 litre block (EJ18S)
-2.2 litre heads (EJ22E)
-EJ22E head gaskets
-EJ22E intake manifold, fuel rails, sensors
-WRX exhaust manifold
-ERZ uppipe
-TD04 (wrx turbo)
-HKS Downpipe
-Tial 38mm wastegate (not on yet)
-Custom 3 inch exhaust w/ magnaflow muffler
-SAFC (emanage goes in this week)
-Custom FMIC (pipes get welded this week)

As of now the car is running great. I have some vacuum issues to address but overall the engine is awesome. When we first got it started after letting some oil run through it, the valves were tapping very loud. The next day I went WOT a few times and it must have cleared the oil passages because now the heads sound great. I am unsure of my actual displacement and compression ratio but hope to find that out soon. I am assuming its between 1.8 and 2.0 for the displacement and 8:2 and 8:5 to 1 for the CR. The wastegate, emanage, and FMIC piping all go in this week. Should be fun.
