    Great video. Wish you had spoken more on the reason behind retarding the exhaust cams by 2 teeth. Do you have more information on why?

    • @deltafire5058
      @deltafire5058 ปีที่แล้ว

      I believe it has to do with disabling the active exhaust cams.

    Hello I have an ej20x in my 2011 wrx. What he's saying is that the regular ej25 timing assembly for my car should match up besides you needing a different water pump, correct?

      Yes unless you keep the oil warmer. I recommend you put an oil cooler in place where the oil warmer to keep the oil happy.

    Do the EJ20X have timing belt guide/retainer on the cams? Manual car have the retainer but auto cars do not. Assuming not as the 20x are from automatics.

    Love the vids man! I’m swapping a EJ20x into a 2009 wrx..already swapped intake manifold exhaust/turbo but I haven’t retarded the timing .would I need to do that or could I just leave it how it is?.. also would I need a tune for the EJ20x.. or could I run the car without a tune

    • @FOFRacing
      @FOFRacing  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can leave it as is, you need a tune. With retarding the exhaust cams you get more low end so I recommend it, kinda helps the free floating cam issue since leaving the exhaust AVCS unplugged

      Take off the little cover plate, 3 8MM bolts. Then you can use a Allen key socket and a ratchet to spin the gear in okace

    One question I have.. is this to make it run better on 91 octane? I did the 20x swap and it pre detonates a lot due to the octane being too low

    • @codyd.18
      @codyd.18 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You need a tune that accounts for the lower octane.

    • @deltafire5058
      @deltafire5058 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This is being done to account for the active exhaust cams not being used.
