Hey All,
I have a line on an engine from a 2002 WRX with 144,000 km (89,000 m). It has an upgaded turbo (deadbolt tdo4 monstor port and polish and ceramic coated) and stock ecu with yoshio stage 2 tune. Timing belts have been changed ... I'm pretty sure with an upgraded turbo, this engine has seen some track time. Is there anything I should be looking out for ... and what kind of price would something like this go for ? Thanks ! Sandeep

Sounds like a lot of miles for such a new engine to me. Do you know anything about this Yoshio tune? I presume it's an import Jap engine from the description... That tune is probably making the most of their 100 octane fuel by the sounds of it so is no good for you, probably better off getting a lower mileage engine IMO...
Rich

ask him what yoshio is, ive never heard of it. stage 2 is just probably the designation for stock turbo, after market exhaust ect. if its like the stage 2 tuned ive seen, you are looking at around 300hp. it could even be 10-30 more depending on what that deadbolt turbo does extra.
also, get a compression check. tell him to take it to the dealer, and do a compression and leak down test, and thatyou would like him to provide all the numbers. that will tell you just about everything you want to know. deadbolt is a good company. the monster td04 is a stock turbo with like a clip, and a good port and polish, its not too much. i would say that you should be paying not much extra for that motor over a stock motor... maybe 2-300 more idunno. you should post up a link of the motor, we can have a look at it tell you what we think.

Some info..
http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...11&postcount=8 quoted.. Technically speaking, and this perhaps where I get my hackles up, Yoshio is a tuner using Tectom's programming product. I think that everyone equates Yoshio (the tuner) to the equipment manufacturer (Tectom) because he is currently the only person offering the service. It would be the same as saying Shiv is ECUTEK, which of course is not the case If there is a beef about the approach to the ECU remapping then it should be directed at Tectom, not Yoshio. He is taking grief for going out and bringing in a service not previously offered by any North American tuner shop, and a lot of that grief is not substantiated and now is being compared to a product that has not been released. Its a start alex

Yoshio is the owner of http://www.japanese-auto.com/ here in Toronto.
Sandeep, I'm guessing you got your lead through the Toronto Subaru Club ? Who is the guy selling it ? There is a strong Yoshio following at the club (even more at SPDA), but there is also a group that is not a big fan (isn't that always the case)... He tunes the car by reflashing the ECU. Rob.

I have a 2006 Subaru EJ25 SOHC non-turbo that I need the wiring between the engine and the ECU. The engine has it's main wiring out to the square junction on the engine. I just need between that and the ECU. Can you guys help? Any leads? Thanks!

Ha, checked out germanlook so many times but never thought of looking at the forum. Great to see all these suby conversions together. I'm working on a 1302 with 901 gearbox which will get an EJ20 with TD-05 turbo. It's an EJ20BUG engine so it was made to go in a bug
 I'm hoping to get something of 300hp and it'll be running on a megasquirt system. Well, the photo tells a lot at which point of the build i am now.... I'm waiting on my new gasketset en still not sure on which adapter set to use/buy. I'm thinking of putting the turbo on the front of the engine, somewhere close to the pulley (kind of where the type 1 has its muffler) I've seen it done on sandrails and also impreza's but can't oversee the pro's and con's. Any opinions about that kind of setup?

you will have a hard time with the decklid if you move the turbo there.

What is the average cost of a full subaru conversion for the VW? Turbo and non-turbo. We're talking basic engine putting out about 200Hp. I'm curious.

I think I'm just going to suck it up and get the ECM and wiring from outfront motorsports. Keep it simple. It's expensive but I want to get it in and use it without the headaches.
