Bugger it I might as well just rebuild the old engine, probably going to be easier lol. EJ206 B4 engine for sale, 130,000km going sweet, complete with everything!

You say you had compression issues in your other threads, how did you get around this or what were your issues? I see the EJ206 has 9:1 and the EJ20G into the RS is 8.5:1. Is a ECU swap possible?

A search for EJ206 etc doesn't seem to bring up bugger all, got any links to similar threads Matt?

I've got a good running complete EJ20 here out of a Legacy B4 (EJ206 I believe?), and I'm wanting to put it into my Legacy RS-B which has a blown BEB. Got both engines out and sitting side by side, but I see intake manifold faces are different as well as sensor plugs etc. I was just going to swap over intake manifolds and looms but now seems this won't be possible. I'm guessing Im going to have to take the heads off the RS-B block and put on the new engine etc? Or is there another way around this? (e.g. use new engines intake and replace just the loom?) cheers in advance

V8 WRXs did that too.

I've had it happen before, I never thought it was a big-end lol didn't take long to figure out exhaust leak, if you under the car with it running it's fairly obvious.

Compression test when it was in the car would have given you some idea regarding melted piston. How many KM's has engine done? May as well rebuild it now it's out

Why are you pulling turbo out?

There's no 'set spring' in a VF22, it's governed by a internal wastegate controlled by your ECU, unless that's been welded up and your running a external wastegate. 7psi will be the stock boost the Legacy came out of the factory with, not the VF22's 'stock' pressure (these came out on the early GC8 STi's and from memory run around 16psi stock).

But spotlight covers sit way out from the brackets/plate behind the bumper, is there a spacer that goes in between?

Yep early GC8 model. I've managed to get my hands on the 2 x plates/brackets that go on the inside of the bumper, but how do the spotlight covers mount to these?

I'm the opposite, I don't have spotlights but want to install the covers, hence the need for spotlight brackets (if my understanding is correct?)

Sweet I'm keen to make some up if no ones got any laying around, does anyone have some decent pictures/dimensions of them?

Ah knew I must be missing something! Anyone know of anyone selling any?

Whats the trick? :\
