    only issue was not being able to control ignition timing. I could retard it a little but need more control. I was a very nice smooth powerful responsive motor but kept exploding itself due to aggressive timing. I got 2 years now on this new setup and wrx ecu without issues. I think i went through 3 motors on that emanage piggyback

    Hey I am building a 2.2t with 96 hla heads and I saw your threads and wondered if you had issues with head gaskets sense then with the lager combustion chamber on those heads ? I am scared to use them because is the gasket not fitting perfectly. Thanks

    thats a bad idea, that motor is already about 12:1 compression, any boost will make it knock unless you have extremely high octane fuel or run 0° of ignition timing

    I am thinking about trying to turbo this one and only run 4lbs just to keep it able to daily drive which is what im using it for now.
