Install: IAG Oil Pick Up and Tray
I have had a few oil leaks on my EJ207 for some time now — the oil cooler, oil pan, and the cam position sensors. I have replaced the cam position sensor o-rings multiple times now from a generic o-ring kit, and they always flatten out and leak from the heat. While I had the…

Maintenance: EJ207 Timing Belt
According to Nasioc, EJ207s have a 62,000-mile timing belt change interval. I say according to Nasioc because I have never seen a JDM owner’s manual, but I will take their word for it. I crossed that threshold many months ago, and because of the drop in quality of the Gates Timing Belt kit, I decided…

Review: K/N Typhoon Intake
I didn’t plan on doing this mod anytime soon, as I didn’t really want to spend $3XX on a “hot air intake” as some people like to call them; but one popped up locally for cheap so I grabbed it. I had originally planned to do an install write-up of this intake, but the install…

Install: DrivewayLabs Hood Vents
As discussed in the previous post, I ordered a set of hood vents from DrivewayLabs. https://www.instagram.com/p/BfoIQtZFDoK/ The package arrived quickly as it was shipped out Priority Mail via USPS. Generally speaking, packages coming from the west coast may as well be in another county. I tend to avoid vendors on the west coast because of this.…

Install: TurboXS 3-Inch Mid-Pipe
This was kind of an impulse purchase. I wanted my exhaust to be louder, but I didn’t have the funds to purchase the catback I wanted – the Tomei Titanium Ti. After youtubing a few videos on eBay catbacks, I decided to stick with my Genome exhaust after watching this clip again. The TurboXS 3-inch…

Install: STi Lower Control Arms (+Caster)
To finish off the STi front suspension conversion, I picked up a set of STi aluminum lower control arms. If you want a set that adds caster, avoid a set from a 2007 STi. There are some visual cues of the caster adding LCAs, however they aren’t obvious at first glance. Check out this thread on…

Install: STi Lateral Links
To round out my STi suspension upgrades, I picked up a set of STi rear lateral links. With these you will need an STi rear sway bar and end links. Finding a 20mm rear sway bar proved to be a royal PITA. These seem to be hot sellers. I eventually found a JDM STi rear…

Street Fight: EJ207 vs EJ257
I’ve been thinking about these two engines for some time now. I’ve heard many great things about the EJ207 and how Fuji Heavy should’ve given us the EJ207 instead of the EJ257. Personally, I think this is mostly JDM envy and I will admit I had a little bit it myself. 🙂 Having owned both…

Install: Riken Raptor ZR Tires (235/45/17)
My Falken Ziex tires were wearing pretty low and then I got a nail in my tire. I plugged it up myself to buy some time but after a run through Cherohala and the Dragon I guess it had enough. Now it leaks and these tires aren’t worth patching up but I had a spare…
