rallyruss Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 seems how I cannot seem to get ANY offers on my RX I will be building it up a little and then beat it into the ground. might as well get some fun out of it before it has to go. so far I have a decent set of rebuilt heads(with the little cracks). A good used block. A set of pistons (thanks garner) new nipon rings and all the bearings. plan so far is to attempt balancing the rods and piston my self. I just ordered a set of head STUDS:brow: I will be fabricating my own up pipe and possibly down as well. and there will be an IC involved here(hopefully a FMIC) now I need suggestions on turbo selections, copperHG or not,and spider intake or not. and does any one have a source for some of these things? I am using the stock cams. I would like to use the VF11 legacy turbo but cannot find any. most likely going WRX turbo at this rate. I do have a SDS EFI system that I may use or trade for parts. It would need to be set up for the turbo application. now obviously this will not be a smog legal car here in CA any more so it will be up for grabs again or parted out by next year. most likely parted out if the lack of interest over the last 8+ months is an indicator of what to expect. now rember this is fairly LOW budget so lets keep the ideas reasonable. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Is it currently running? How much did you have it advertised for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis ex24 Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 VF11's are kind of hard to find... try doing a google for "legacy BBS" - thats the legacy message board equivalent to what weve got here. alot of those guys are replacing the VF11 on the Legacy T's with the Mitsu 16G from the version 3 or 4 STi's. youll find them for about $60... good luck.

rallyruss Posted May 22, 2004 Author Share Posted May 22, 2004 Is it currently running? How much did you have it advertised for? yeah It runs. it leaks oil. it has some wear and tear but really not that bad overall. I was trying to get 1,000 for it (a little less than I put into it) I would like to keep it but I have 7 cars at my house now 5 are mine 4 run 3 registered.... well you get the picture. some of them need to go. espically the ones that are not mine and the ones like the RX that I only use every once in a while. I just had all these motor parts around and figured I would build one up for fun. The wagon does not need it. I figure the RX is the best canidate.

JWX Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 if you were closer I'd try to pick it up, not that that helps but just thought I would put it out there. on the turbo I'd go with the cheapest you can get with an up pipe then cut the flange off and re-weld it to fit however you want it.
