In that diagram, what's the difference between cylinder block (11 12) and cylinder jacket (10 13)?

The cylinder block would be each side of the engine (case halves). The cylinder jacket would likely be the coolant passage ways from the cylinder block to the cylinder heads (9 and 14).

Aside from that fitting which I already had, I spent $10 at autozone for the 5/8 inch heater hose and 5/8 inch tee fitting. Last edited by sebastian323; 08-05-2020 at 03:05 AM. |

I'm going to assume that is the factory Subaru plug, as various importer sites all show the same plug. I'm very interested to know where that hose routes to since a quick search revealed these engines are single turbo. |

Looking at some pics it almost looks like it goes to the OEM oil cooler around the oil filter. In these pics it looks like it connect to a cylindrical cooler. Not sure if it is a oil cooler (looks like it). Or could be a heater heat sink or something. Or it aculally looks more like it goes to some kind of a gold metallic diaphragm looking actuator for something I have no idea.

Well there you go. We figured it out. That port was designed to cool of your auto tranny.

Got a friend who also stated the same when we were discussing this topic. He's pretty familiar with those legacy Legacy engines.

So it looks like the coolant from the block goes to the gold diaphragm or thermostat, and controls the tranny fluid to go in the white/silver metallic cylindrical cooler to the left of the gold part.

Single vs twin turbo. So ya it was used for twin turbo or to cool of the auto tranny.

so I have my own cheapo version of the mod. I got a simple coolant "T" and the fitting from an EJ20X i had lying around. I angled the T in a vertical format to increase clearance with the steering rack,,, some correctly said that this positioning will disable the heater core. I apparently can now only get the heater to work when the car is moving and the thermostat is more closed.
How is the heater working on your cylinder 4 cooling modded car ? |

I have the VEMS kit as Dom's kit was sold out at the time and my heater works but not as hot as it was before.

Using a DOM kit (installed per their instructions) over the past year and have had no issues. All I did was swap the silicone strait hose out for an angle formed EPDM hose. My hose material change would not have any impact on coolant flow but it did offer extra clearance to the steering joint.

Re: heater performance
There's probably a reason why Subaru T'ed their left side turbo coolant return line to the rights side coolant return. Surely, Subaru must have known there was a shorter path with the coolant lines being so close??? |

Agreed and in the spring I'm planning on routing it to the turbo side when I replace my radiator. |

Been shopping for a suitable jdm engine swap and noticed the jdm 08-14 wrx ej20x with no air pump came with this mod as standard. As you can actually order this from a dealer given you have a part number.

I have the Torque Solutions version of the kit because Dom's was out of stock everywhere when I was buying and my heat works just fine. |

It's because you are taking hot water from cylinder 4 and return it directly to the engine, where the thermostat is, without flowing the water through the radiator first! So what you are doing, is constantly pumping into the engine hot water! This mod is a complete hack and only a person who doesn't know hot the system flows, would install it |

Let's revive this thread a whole year later lol
Sorry is my following question has been already answered in a previous post, but 20 pages is quite a lot so I'll accept all the flame coming my way if that's the case - so here it goes. If one were to go the OEM route and path (to the LH side turbo), What are the parts needed to accomplish the mod (aside from the OEM fitting of course) and to what line do you tap into? Any diagrams available? Will the same sizes used on all available kits work while only needing to add a longer piece of hose, or there is a decrease in ID size somewhere along the OEM path?
