Ken's 1996 Subaru Legacy LSi.

[Alucard]

Hello, all! My name is Ken and it's been a long time since I've posted a car on a forum. Many of you may remember me as DOHCEJ22E1 or EJ22D from other forums in the past from either the legacygt.com forum or other places, like rs25.com. That being said, it's good to be back here. First, let's do a short history review.

1. '97 Legacy (4eat), owned 2008-2010.

2. '98 Legacy Outback (4eat/no pic).

3. '98 Legacy L (5mt/no pic/first EJ22D).

4. '98 Legacy GT Limited (4eat/2nd EJ22D before going on to build a rash of them).

5. '98 Legacy GT (4eat).

6. '97 Legacy Outback Safari. (4eat).

7. '96 Legacy LSi (4eat/current Legacy).
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2016/12/LSi2_zpst8pwxtgp-1.jpg (http://s172.photobucket.com/user/Kenshin1984/media/1996%20Subaru%20Legacy%20LSi/LSi2_zpst8pwxtgp.jpg.html)
I picked up the LSi on Spetember 11th, and it has issues, but nothing I haven't handled or dealt with before. It rides smoothly and the 4eat shifts equally as smooth once the transmission is warmed up and past 1st gear. I have only driven it something like 500mi before having to putting it to rest again. It's got head gasket issues, even being a reman, so I am saving up for an immediate EJ25D fusion build ('98 heads/'96 block for instant 11:1 compression ratio), which will hold me over until I build a 22D of some kind for it.

I have done some little things to the LSi, like the 420A coil and the voltage stabilizer with the Big 4 done on it, and the Loyale Design, Stage 1 for the grille it came with.

Fused 420A coil connector.

Loyale Design grille on car (hood is a little banged up, but the car is a work in progress). The reason for the grille comes from the fact that I dislike nearly every single grille (OEM or aftermarket) for the 2nd Gen Legacy. I feel like the 2nd Gen Legacy is TOO Italian designed for lazy or poorly designed grilles.

Since 2G's are getting scarce quickly around these parts, I jumped at the chance to have this, and bought it so I can restore and mod it.

Some maintenance done (battery replacement and fluid checks, ended up topping off coolant) during the snowy cold. Next will be securing a tie-down of some kind, new negative terminal, then a full winter prep (tires, diff fluids, etc).

It's a gradual process, but as I really like Project Hope, I will continue until it comes out right.

Pics from last week. Grainy, but whatever. The 25D is a trooper, I'll give it that, but to extend it's lifespan a bit more, I have had to remove the thermostat. I'll probably be like that until I drop in the 2.2L. Until that time, a portable car heater will have to suffice. I would have waited longer, but I can't keep stressing being brought to work, especially if it's hard on someone else. So, she's back on the road. Whoever rated these engines at 155bhp needs to be rechecked, because this thing is SLOW. The peak torque at 2800rpm is nice, though. Barely needs to be at 1800rpm to keep up in traffic. Highway...that's another story. Still, I'm happy to drive her again, even when she needs a fair bit of work.

Taken tonight. The silver is easy to get used to. Dare I even say it looks better than the silver on my old GT wagon. After driving this car pretty hard tonight, I have learned the difference between it and the GT's. With the GT's, you can get the tail out, even if it requires a bit of work. With the LSi's, unless you're trying harder, you will NEVER get the tail out. The softness of the suspension prevents wilderness heavily in the rear end.

So, to continue on from the ECU post, the 9P is absolutely terrible compared to the 85. They're not even in the same league, with the 85 adapting to the engine within moments while the 9P does it in a few days, as it is programmed to run only on 91-93 octane, and will accept no lower. WOT on the road 3x is how you get them into their "proper" modes. The 2N doesn't compare to the 85, either, but it is better at adapting than the 9P, as it isn't locked to just high octane usage.

HOWEVER, I have discovered these anomalies:

The 85 will throw these codes constantly when installed in a Legacy older than 98
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2017/01/Screenshot_20170106143856_zpsh6f8fibbpng-1.jpg (http://s172.photobucket.com/user/Kenshin1984/media/1996%20Subaru%20Legacy%20LSi/Screenshot_2017-01-06-14-38-56_zpsh6f8fibb.png.html)

And the 2N is currently throwing this code, which I think is odd considering the ECU comes from a car made in the same year as the LSi ('96)
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2017/01/Screenshot_20170108144921_zpsp4yctxlxpng-1.jpg (http://s172.photobucket.com/user/Kenshin1984/media/1996%20Subaru%20Legacy%20LSi/Screenshot_2017-01-08-14-49-21_zpsp4yctxlx.png.html)

Also interesting to note is the airbag system in my LSi not being able to communicate with the 85 ECU. The red light comes on in the dash and it indicates that my airbag system was rendered inert.
In terms of redline limiters, the 9P and 85 both top out at 6500rpm while the 2N tops out at 6000rpm on the dot. I'll be sticking with the 2N, as it will allow me to use both 87 octane and keep my airbag system operational, but at some point, I will secure a '97 GT ECU and see how that plays out, as it will also allow me to use 87 octane as well, has a 6500rpm limit like the 9P and 85.

More pics of the LSi. The winter makes it tough to do any sort of real maintenance on her, but the basics have been done, so I'm happy about that.

Update: The 2N ECU runs the engine flawlessly on 87. Has been doing so since I installed it and refilled the tank with 100% 87 octane. No misfires or anything like what would happen when using the 9P ECU. The engine pulls a bit more linearly through the rpm range than it did when the 9P was powering it, and there is still a bit more punch on the low end.

[Muse]

Are these ECUs plug and play between the 22 and 25 engines, or is it unidirectional, use a 22's ECU on a 25, but not the other way around?

They are plug and play. In a 2nd Gen, a 2.5 ECU will run a 2.2 ECU and an 2.2 ECU will run a 2.5. This is because the cam/crank triggers are the same between both the EJ22E and the EJ25D.

Main goal accomplished for this week:
Finding a suitable ECU that will NOT throw a CEL, run the engine on 87 without issues, AND communicate with the airbag system.

[Alucard]

Update: A few days later, the car still continues to run much better on the 7X ECU + MSD 8239 than it ever did on the 2N ECU + 420A coil combo. It is adjusting to my skill and creating the needed fuel trims for me. The MSD 8239 operates flawlessly. The car is doing well and should carry me for a good while as I save up to an EJ22D replacement.

[Alucard]

Update: As expected, my constant travels on the highway shave integrity off the 25D each time. A significantly greater amount of coolant is consumed and the car is now hesitating and jerking until I force it to go. It is still much too soon for my EJ22D replacement, so here's hoping Esperanza lasts long enough for me to save what I need to pull the parts it takes to create one.

The car passed. No idea how, but she did. Both turn signal and reverse LED's were plug-ins.

[Muse]

I just put reverse LEDs in, too. they're fantastically bright.

People should have ZERO issues seeing us at any time, day or night. I ordered LED rear stop light bulbs to finish off the full taillight LED conversion, and they should be here today.

So, the LED's came in (red lumen discharge) and I ended up displeased with them overall.

During my time at the gas station, the car suffered an electrical failure and the battery died. I ended up getting a jump by a stranger, and then by Muse himself, who I didn't recognize at first because it was dark, but then he walked closer and then I was like, "Hey!" We spent time speaking about each other's Legacies for a bit, after which he gave me Grimmrican's old UEL header (Thanks, Muse!), then we started deducing the issue to what could be draining the battery faster than the alternator can charge it. We found it to be the aftermarket triple power port I had powering my phone, external cabin heater, and the AM/FM transmitter. He then gave me a jump and we bid each other farewell.

In looking on Amazon, it seems like no one but Sylvania makes dual-intensity LED 1157 bulbs. They claim that they do, but there's hardly any difference.

I spent another $4 on a white LED set to put in the housings. They're said to be dual-intensity, but we'll see. If they don't work out, I'm going straight for the Sylvanias. The only reason I want LED rear lights is to lessen the draw on the wiring since it is 21yrs old. Also, I had an incident where the triple power port I showed you actually MELTED due to my constant usage of three things at once. The car's circuit can more than handle it, but the connector on the triple port couldn't. No damage otherwise.

[Alucard]

Update: EJ25D is on it's final leg and can no longer operate as it should. The EJ22D I plan on putting in will be unlike any I or anyone has put together before.

[Muse]

So, I passed off two of those LEDs to Rkrenicki. He kept burning out his outer halogens. They seem to have more of a two-stage effect in his car than either of ours for some reason...

3g's have improved grounding and lighting than 2g's do., so I can see that happening for sure. The LED's are dirt cheap. In fact, to satisfy my need for a lighter strain on the lighting, I've ordered more LED's, this time high intensity. Let's see how that goes. The new turn signal LED's are even better than the last set.

[Alucard]

Okay. Since I positively need my car for work, I have done some unholy things to the EJ25D to get it running and keep it running for as long as I possibly can. I also noticed a block heating unit in the reman block, and I was told that it was an option on all 2G's. I am interested because I have never seen than on anything other than GT's and Outbacks before.

Ran into another block. The bracket from the power steering pump also doesn't clear the EJ257 coolant crossmember. Luckily, the power steering bracket is constructed in 2pc mode. Unbolt the rear 12mm bolts and it will fit just fine.

Engine is installed and running at this point. It pulls hard at 3500rpm+, and the 10.3:1 makes it have enough torque to move along in the city just fine for what it is. No stock EJ22E is this powerful and neither is any stock EJ221/2/3, so I am pleased. However, the cams top out at 7500rpm and the ECU has a 6500rpm cap and is learning the engine that it is dealing with. MPG is 34+ on the highway, which I am also pleased with. I haven't gone beyond 4k rpm yet to break in the new components, but from what I can tell, the hybrid has a fair bit of punch over any regular N/A SOHC EJ22.

A big thanks to Muse and Grimmrican for aiding in this project's ascension. I hung out with them during the situation of everything. Muse even repaired a header he had given me.

[Alucard]

Also to note: The sensor that plugs into the EJ257 coolant crosspipe is 3 pronged, while the sensor for the EJ25D crosspipe is 2 pronged plus another sensor.

To use the EJ257 sensor on older Phase 1 cars, you need longer wiring to reach the connector to the front of the pipe where the sensor is located (the Phase 1 sensors are located in the rear of the pipe). 2/3 wires are colored EXACTLY THE SAME. This makes it easy for wiring/splicing to be done or the project to be a success. I would get a foot of wiring and a connector from any 99+ Impreza, Forester, or Legacy and MAKE SURE it is a 3 prong.

I also want to note that I had to remove the lightweight flexplate from the EJ222 bottom end, as it is smaller in diameter than the flexplate from the EJ25D, and so after they were swapped, the EJ22D was then dropped in. Put 200mi on the engine already. Seems to respond pretty well, and response is almost SOHC-like.

Update: Engine has 1000mi on it and semi-synthetic 10w40 is now being used. Runs like a top and 3500rpm to redline is a fun thing to do, but only has been done twice. I have babied her ever since and have stuck top mostly taking pictures and changing radios...again.

It has been a while since I have updated. The high comp EJ22D continues to do well and pull strong. The car itself has been through a few changes, so without further delay, I shall post up it's current status.
