Awesome work on this. I'm hoping my rebuild looks as good as yours when i'm at that stage.
Where did you buy the 22B rods/pistons? I'm leaning towards getting the same ones but i'll have to take my block to a shop as the 207 is 2L stock.
my motor is a EJ22T block which is a 22B block, mine has thrust #3 and oil jets is the only difference in the machining. I don't think you can hone a 207 to 2.2L there isn't enough meat on the walls. but wossner makes 2.0L stuff also.
today was exciting !. A 2004 Subaru STi Steering rack showed up, its time to install this into my old school 80s subaru engine cross member
so here is the issue, the lines need to be a little bit longer and then you move the bracket over to where the fancy factory sticker is.
take the bracket off and move the lines out the way, so there we have it, it fits right in the spot.
also we have to make it look original that's how I roll, sometimes lol !!
with the same bracket I cut out the U shape a little more, this way I can bolt it up like stock. then I flipped the bracket around so I can put the bolt on the top, this makes it easier to install.
you have to bend the lines into place for a little length which you can do by hand.
Ps: you have to enlarge the holes on the crossmember beforehand, and then cut the pocket out on the opposing side so the lines can stick out
what I gained from doing this
18:0 GL-10 Steering ratio to a impressive 15:1 04 STi Ratio, that's 4 ratios quicker. id say that's more impressive then everyone only upgrading from 15:0 to 13:0 (3 ratios )
