do WRX headers bolt on the 2.2L NA 96 block
From all the research I've done I believe that the WRX headers have dual ports and my 1996 2.2L has single ports. This will NOT work from what I've read.
Can somebody who has actually physically seen the ports on both of these engines answer with a straight answer. Or somebody who has contemplated or even done something like this. WILL IT WORK?? chris

Will the WRX header bolt up to a n/a 2.2l with dual ports? Or is there no compatability at all between the 2.0l and 2.2l?

The WRX header WILL bolt up to any EJ engine with dual ports.
And im not 100% sure, but I believe the 96 2.2l is a dual port head. It was mostly the later heads, like 98-01 2.2's that had single ports. |

Dont forget the fact that the Header will run into the crossmember on an NA car...
The crossmember is designed for the type of header. on a WRX it will use the "turbo crossmember" on an RS, or whatnot, it will be the "NA crossmember" you will have to swap this if you intend on using a WRX header. I agree that a Dual Port head will bolt up to the WRX... i also agree that 98+L's are single port... I just saw where you said "my car has single ports, will a wrx header bolt up" -Jake |

So where can I get TURBO headers that will fit my single exhaust port heads w/o swapping in diff. heads, if that's even possible?
Has ANYONE ever turboed a 2.2 using single ports??? |

the only turbocharged subarus that are semi compatible are the WRX and the Turbo Legacy, which are both Double port... Quote:

Kevin Thomas turbo'd his Outback 2.2liter, but I can't remember what year his was, or what exhaust ports he had. I don't believe he had an aftermarket header on the car though(I could be wrong on this).
Try PM'ing him. His username is Kevin Thomas. He'll be able to at least shed some light on if he had a similar setup. He may even be able to point you to some available options if he had the same thing. I don't think the headers would be necessary though. If you were building up enough to require new headers, you'd probably want to go ahead and replace the heads as well. |

The closest to "turbo" headers for our motors, are Borlas. $280-300... Much smoother than stockers.

Borlas also come in a single port design.
But piping isnt really an issue for a turbo, just use the stock headers and have a custom uppipe made. People do that all the time. |

wouldnt that mess up the exhaust flow, not a good flow setup?
how exactly would this custom uppipe work, details? would it go up from a cut hole at the y pipe? |

Heres a good example of a custom uppipe/downpipe that you can actually purchase:
http://www.uniquemotorsports.com/products/products.htm Uses the stock header location just as I stated. Flow is fine, just look at the stock WRX/legacy turbo headers, they arent that great. |
