Lol, you like that? Straight custom! Put on so I could put the crossmember exhaust Manu an down pipe on and then just toss in the turbo when the time was right.

Hey, I like it! It'll be handy if I ever blow a stock location turbo. I can just slap that on and move the car around if need be.!

You did all the hard work for me lol. I get to do all the fun stuff!

I know the wiring is getting boring, but I'd like to have this thread for reference too.

I'm ready to tear the interior of the Legacy out and get this this wired in. I'm still waiting for a few gauges including my wideband, Tactrix OpenPort 2.0 and boost control solenoid. I will also need to fab up an intake at some point.

I think getting everything soldered and shrink-tubed will take me a solid night. Then I'll test fit it, loom it up all nice and get her prepped for a tune!

It's so close I can taste it.

WRX harness labeled out.

Well WTF...

I just heard that my setup may not work due to the difference in the cam gears on the EJ25D heads and what the WRX ECU needs. Apparently I can't swap WRX gears over either.

Plus I have to figure out my TGV situation. I don't know if Opensource will allow me to disable the CEL associated with removing your TGV's that throws the ECU in limp mode.


Back to the drawing board!

So far from what I am finding on NASIOC is that open source will disable the TGV codes. Which is good. A thread I found had a screen shot of Rom Raider and there was a spot to turn off the cel's.

Looks like I'm swapping EJ205 heads,intake, and tb. Maybe I'll throw some cams in while I'm at it....Hmmmmm.

I figured Rom Raider or something similar would account for the TGV delete CEL's.

I'm getting a hell of a deal on EJ205 heads, intake and maf from Ryan. So I think things are back on track. Just have to take a few more bolts off to get the motor out. As much as it sucks to have shit go crazy like this, it's probably meant to be. lol

Looks like I will have to swap heads to ones off a WRX (EJ205). Downside is I have to spend extra money. Plus side is I have cam and valvetrain choices now.

Here's the newly modified setup

-EJ22T block
-STi rods
-EJ22T pistons
-EJ205 heads
-EJ205 intake manifold/tb
-TGV delete (If I can find some deleted ones for a good price.)
-EJ22E HG (MLS)
-VF37
-Catless downpipe to full 3" exhaust
-Catless up-pipe
-STi yellow side-feeds
-Wally 255
-'06 TMIC
-TiAL blow off valve
-Rom Raider tuned
-03 WRX ECU

Picked up my EJ205 heads tonight. I should be able to get working on this starting Saturday. If all goes well, I should be burning corn by the end of April!
