      <![CDATA[WOW, what a great topic to find near the top after my prolonged absence. Hi everyone! I was surfing this very subject and something clicked in my brain, like, what&#39;s going on at subbug??? So I am looking for answers for my &#39;05 Outback XT turbo problem and run right into Jeff&#39;s post regarding oil starvation. We recently bought the showroom condition &#39;05 with 61K on it and was loving it big time when at about 67K the turbo let go after about 9 hours into a 14 hour trip. $2,250 later we have a brand new turbo from Subaru Parts and it all good. We never found a cause for the failure but I did find out by surfing that there were a lot of these VF-40&#39;s going bad. The main culprit seemed to be bearing failure due to loss of oil flow to the turbo, there are a couple of TSB&#39;s about replacing the screen in the banjo bolt to prevent the replacement turbo from failing also, but no real info on why the VF-40 is the one that seems to have the problem. Anyway, my mechanic did all the steps in the TSB, pulled the oil pan, flushed the motor oil, replaced the screen, and 4K miles later the new turbo starts going. Subaru Parts thinks the screen is plugged, but I&#39;m very sure my guy followed the necessary steps and that isn&#39;t the cause. Thinking the VF-40 is a crappy failure prone turbo, I called Brian at BNR to talk to him about his Mitsubishi TD05 CHRA based hybrid turbo and during the discussion I mentioned using Mobile1 synthetic and he pounced on that immediately as the reason for the failure. It seems Mobile1 5W-30 is very low on zinc, like almost half the zinc as in some of the other oils out there. It makes sense to me as the first turbo failed around 4K after our first oil change which was probably the first time Mobile1 was put in it, and then the second one fails with 4K. Needless to say, I&#39;m going to doing the work myself this time, I&#39;m going to use the hybrid Mitsubishi TD05 CHRA turbo and avoid the VF-40 turbo like the plague, and lastly stay away from low zinc oils. Good seeing you guys. -Terry<br/>Links from my surfing...<br/><a class='url' href='http://www.bnrsupercars.com/'>http://www.bnrsupercars.com/</a><br/><a class='url' href='http://store.forcedperformance.net/merchant2/graphics/subaru_oil/02-106-08.pdf'>http://store.forcedperformance.net/merchant2/graphics/subaru_oil/02-106-08.pdf</a><br/><a class='url' href='http://www.mobil.com/USA-English/MotorOil/Files/Mobil_1_Product_Guide.pdf'>http://www.mobil.com/USA-English/MotorOil/Files/Mobil_1_Product_Guide.pdf</a>]]>

    <title>EJ22 Stock ECU wiring questions</title>

      <![CDATA[Just recently pulled a EJ22 (early phase 1) out of a donor converted VW Baja and put it into my Volksrod. The BAJA was driving the day before we pulled it.<br/><br/>I am only semi knowledgeable about electrical systems and I am getting better but most of the swap over was done by my buddy who originally rewired to a simple system off the VW stock fuse box.<br/><br/>Last night we tried to start for the first time and found basically the ECU is getting power to the relay for ignition and relay but it is not clicking over to kick on the fuel pump or anything.<br/>13.5 volts to the ignition relay when key turned on. relay wired from d5 and ground d14. If we connect straight from battery to relay it switches on.<br/><br/>ANY help would be great. Spent all weekend hooking up an amazing set of systems for the fuel and cooling, I was really excited to get the car turned on and this is where we are at<br/>He connected the ECU back by the battery and everything from their forward is the stock off the stock fuse box. Do not think there is another fuse in the system and finally put in diode back in off the previous car over with the ignition relay. The ECU is connected to the battery on I think D15. From the ignition/and fuel pump relay is the fuel pump positive going up to the fuel pump (external) up by the gas tank. The Tach wire goes to the front from the ECU area as does the check engine light.]]>

Im shooting for 300 whp and around 300 ftlbs of torque. What ej engine would you guys suggest to achieve this without changing the stock internals. Also could a Subaru automatic handle this kind of power. If so which auto tranny and what all would I need to make this work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.]]>
