    Boost leak/fuel cut

    to expand on Skiny's etc.---spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor, coil, depending, you could start with the cheap/easy ones first---rotor arm, dizzy cap, spark plugs, king lead & spark plug wires, connections/wiring/grounding, then get to testing/checking the more expensive...

    4EFE vs 4EFTE engine block differences for forged engine build.

    i prefer the ARP head bolts...they may not facilitate the maximum potential power like the studs will, but the head bolts are a direct fit and allow decent power/boost anyways i don't like the additional dremel/shaving work required to fit the studs, particularly on a "daily" vehicle---if it...

    Is Forging Worth it in 2024?

    additionally, mamba, kinugawa, and a few other companies sell complete Subaru fitment ball bearing spec turbos---gt28/td05 specs, etc.

    Is Forging Worth it in 2024?

    yeah...it does to some degree but i have a 5e, so the pick up isn't too bad.....its my compromise for gearbox longevity. i see you're playing some russian roulette with your gearbox :) ...use quality gear oil and keep it fresh, hopefully that will help extend its life

    Is Forging Worth it in 2024?

    Is Forging Worth it in 2024?

    i'm on a similar thought path...i was lucky enough to get a very good condition ep91 gearbox a few years ago as a replacement for my ep82 gearbox which had 2nd gear synchro issues.....since then, even on a spirited drive, i'm mindful of my shifts, especially 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd....i...

    Is Forging Worth it in 2024?

    i've thought about it since i saw the post yesterday...and i'm still on the fence as i basically agree with both skinny and dac69er i went from an oem 4efte to oem parts built 5efte in 2007/2008 and vowed never to go back to a 4efte...the drivability was vastly improved (ct9, td04l, td05/vf...
