Aren't the earlier ones the best? Closed deck block, oil squirters, big turbo? (plus lots of lag?)

93/94 supposed to be better from any mechanic I have spoken to because of strength of block, better pistons, bigger and better TD05 turbo.
Jak picked up bargain of the century for his EJ20 and has given him good service. I picked up a 93 with all accessories and a complete ready to go VW
conversion wiring harness and modified ECU for 3k delivered from Brisbane to Sydney. It has 50k km on the clock.
Yet to really drive the bastard yet but Im sure I will be happy.

How many sets of lights does it take a $229k Carrera S to learn?

Pauly''s & Matts engines are 93 model ej20T & mine is a 94 model, they are supposed to (?) be some of the most robust ej20T built.
I've had a tapping noise coming from the engine apon cold start up which maybe a piston crown snapped for about 6 weeks now, it's still going
beautifully!
With only 83k on the engine it's not even run in !
We paid $850 for our engines & Matts & Pauls had 92k & 93k on them & mine had 126k.
I think we got a bargain.
Even if u went all out & spent a few grand on stronger rods, forged pistons etc etc, u would probably have close to 250hp @ the wheels. Not bad.
regards

It goes between the pipe that sits on top of the turbo and the intercooler pipe on early cars...

Is the intercooler still there???? It will be directly off that and plumb into the air intake before the turbo(moulded black piece of pipe about 50mm
in diameter.
Does your motor have a T5???

Just looked at your pic of the front cut on the other post, Seagull. I can see the little BOV on the left of the cooler. It is round and black and has
a vacuum line running to the throttle body.

Will be an open deck block, I think you'll find that the early RS Liberty block is closed not the WRX. Not a problem at all unless you want to run
bigggggg boost, say greater that 20 + psi!:thumb

Speedster-WISD Nats 05 14.4s @ 89 MPH

You will have to TUBB the rear to get traction, at which time you would find it both hard to see and steer with the front wheels 5ft in the
air.....would look pretty f##kin cool down the main street whilst wasting ricer.

It needs beefing up a bit. Jak used to scrape his skid plate on the sump everytime he hit boost.

I am having fun getting chirpies in third....especially when its peoples first ride in the car. Most dont notice it as they are either flapping their
hands around in an attempt to grad the little bar in front of them, or trying to hit the brake pedal that isnt on the left hand side of the car.
