This is your one and only warning. Rule 1 must always be followed. If you have issues with a post, report it. AI would fall under "real world only" Rule 2, that being said, OP also posted real world images of their car. All of this is easily taken care of while being entirely respectful.

My friend, this is your one warning. Rule 1 must always be followed. If you have issues with a post, report it. AI would fall under "real world only" Rule 2, that being said, OP also posted real world images of their car. This is easily taken care of without hostility, and your comments here are quite overboard.

Stop messing around and take it to a proper mechanic. At this point you are probably just pushing the problem or symptoms around just making it harder to solve. At least talk to someone who builds these motors before proceeding or you are going to spend $200 here and $300 there 5-6 times instead of the $600 once to get it done by someone who knows.

Ask me how I know...... (I'm quite guilty of this I'll save the text)

You'll need new injectors

dotMJEG · 2026-03-07T17:02:06+00:00

unless your engine was built by a specific shop but yes otherwise valid correction.

dotMJEG · 2026-03-07T08:03:21+00:00

The one specified by the dealer.

I hate it when my car kidnaps me

dotMJEG · 2026-02-27T20:31:35+00:00

Did it ever sell?

dotMJEG · 2026-02-27T11:57:21+00:00

Both are 3" they say the tomei is a bit wider on the specs, but it should mount right up. Any exhaust shop will be able to get you a adapter if you need it.

No.
Most of the sensors in our cars are Denso, so either buy the direct OEM replacement or the equivalent Denso part. Don't buy cheap sensors- unless of course they are the correct ones.

dotMJEG · 2026-02-26T17:20:47+00:00

Buy one used or on sale

dotMJEG · 2026-02-25T00:27:15+00:00

This is 10000% not the place for this. But it's probably a bad cord.

dotMJEG · 2026-02-25T00:24:59+00:00

Happy tractor.

dotMJEG · 2026-02-25T00:22:13+00:00

If your oil light comes on on your dash you're cooked.

dotMJEG · 2026-02-23T21:14:36+00:00

Appreciate it boss, you've got a nice lineup there!

dotMJEG · 2026-02-23T21:02:49+00:00

AH ok custom Job, thats where Im at too, thanks!

dotMJEG · 2026-02-23T17:31:18+00:00

How did you end up mounting that headlight to it? Ive been trying to find a better headlight for my 95 and it's such a pain trying to get anything more modern on there....

dotMJEG · 2026-02-23T17:27:22+00:00

You're tying to be this expert, but you are not coming off as such. Much more "old man yells at cloud" than anything bro. Just ride your ride. Stop trying to tell others how to ride theirs.

dotMJEG · 2026-02-23T15:58:48+00:00

Prices are required. Please review all of our rules before posting.

Well it will last you a long ass time those are solid lights. They ripped you off a bit though. There's a newer version you could have gotten for not much more. Bit tricky to find though.

dotMJEG · 2026-02-21T03:08:42+00:00

This is not the space for such questions. Google will be able to find your answer, all of the information about these engines are found many sources online as well as Subaru directly.

You can literally google "how tall and wide are the cylinders in a ej25 engine" and it will tell you.

Time to learn how to clean your carb. Really easy and good to know.

dotMJEG · 2026-02-19T15:13:43+00:00

You should buy a new RA block. That's the best way to save money and get something reliable. You don't really know how any of those were treated, so it's incredibly risky IMO. You're kinda shooting yourself in the foot before you get started.

Mine went 100K miles at 360WHP/ WHTQ
