Seedy Al Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 My work mate just told me before its single cam So is going to be piece of cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Yeah bro - single cams are piece of piss - just use a long extension with a wobble drive or a universal joint.. If its twin cam - they are cunty enough that I would recommend platinum plugs.. (but not too cunty) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burrowssj Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 ive done a couple wrxs in my time, easy as once you know the process.you say its single but just in case heres simple way.FIRSTLY you need a small socket set with extensions.remove air box an half of piping(you can do this without removing the box but for 5bolts its easier just to remove it), remove water spray bottle, coil bolts only need to be unthreaded by about 10-15mm an then you can pull off.undo sparks.put in new sparks an tighten to required torque.reverse everything else i said. You shouldn't ever need to take battery out(i never did/have) it would how ever make things easier for you. the biggest problem I had was that the extension I had for socket was the perfect size to get jammed up on the chassis rails apart form that its pretty straight forward remove everything in way, put back together.make sure theres no intake pipes leaking or not on correctly as it will cause problems with boost also should state thats on the older styled 90degree bend turbo subarus. so wrxs upto v2 an the early legacys , might be slight changes on newer ones but its really not hard at all. I honestly Don't know why everyone makes a big fuss over these engines being SOOOOO hard to work on, bunch of whiners IMO, I mean sure its not gona be a simple ford escort change but its really not hard an if it takes you over an hour you need to smarten up or its your first time haha also yes to getting good plugs, its a job you don't wana be doing every 6months an suby wll chew threw cheap plugs fairly quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keltik Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Its far more of a cunt on the twin turbos and the 6 cylinders. Easiest to pop an engine mount and jack the motor up to clear the frame rail. Single cam EJ16/18/22 is a ten minute job. Single cam EJ15/20 or EL15 is a little longer but still easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
