Hey guys well this is my first subaru and its definately been a project for me. Bought the car off a buddy of mine for a decent price, car needs alot of work but something ive always liked. Its a 98 2.5rs with a ej22t motor swap in it. Car smokes a bit due to a bad turbo but thats why i got another being rebuilt as we speak. anyway here is a rundown of what all i have on the car currently that i know of ej22t motor swap from legacy ss 2.5in exhaust from turbo back aem wideband tial 38mm external wastegate safc (not hooked up took a poopy) garret .48ar turbo FMIC From what i can tell is this car has been severly neglected for a long time. With the help of some key people over at dirtyimpreza im hoping that most of my issues have been fixed. Anyway here are a few pics of the car. 2.5rs NA header with up pipe
took a few more pics today, got the car up and running good finally! anybody got a fuse box cover they would like to donate??
Welcome to the site. This car is very much like the 2.5 RS that started my addiction to Subies back in 2001.
thanks guys i have been working on this thing for the last week trying to get it running right. The previous owner didnt take care of it at all, had a wiring mess, check engine lights cutting out. And now its all running ok, the turbo needs replaced and i plan on purchasing new rockers and quarters for rust repair. I work in the paint and body industry so that kinda helps
Yeah i love this car, reinstalled the SAFC today and pulled a little fuel from the car, it was running pig rich at WOT, now its running pretty decent still needs some more fuel pulled but hey it works for now.
well put in a rebuilt turbo tonight and new radiator, also found out i have a bad thermostat and ran some e85 through it. Car is doing pretty decent but still running way rich at WOT. I think this is going to be a fun little car!
