You want a used cv??? Heck I'll get you one, turbo size, right? $25.00 + shipping? (they are only 75.00 with a core charge Autozone)

I am sure he will, but jeez man call him find out.

Since I also am 6'5, I put in some 2003 WRX seats hoping to quit losing scalp on my sunroof(damned air suspension) but while these seats kick butt, they ended up actually being a hair taller than my GL-10 seats! The front mounts are bolt in, the rear mounts you have to fabricate ... It will be dropped about 1" in the front and 2" in the rear in the next couple of weeks when I have time to move the ecu and I will take some photos..

I just found a XT-6 in the wrecking yard I live at today, along with 4 more turbo EA-82's. Pretty stoked! My car is an 1988 turbo sedan with a 4 speed automatic full time 4 wheel drive. The XT-6 is also full time 4 wheel drive but is a 5 speed. I have read on this board that I can swap the suspension from the XT onto mine and gain 5 lug flexibility, is there any other benefits? Stiffer struts? lower? I have access to a set of '1992 Turbo Legacy brakes and suspension, besides it having vented rears and two piston front calipers(this legacy setup will cost me 400.00 and I haven't sealed the deal yet) What about the tranny? Is it strong? Is it as strong as a legacy turbo tranny? I think it would be a more direct swap than the legacy... any input (I swear) is wanted.

whiplash , it seems like you asked for advice on how to do something, and then gripe about how to do something we tell you how to do it. maybe i am the only one who sees it that way. but then again maybe i am seeing it all wrong, and not answering what you are after.
I know that it seems like I am dismissing your input, I am not, however. I have looked at and evaluated your responses to my question, and responded a little bluntly, but hopefully you have an idea what I am trying to accomplish now.
But yeah i am with calebez on this on, let me know how you plan on pushing more flow out of the stock pump, it can only pump so much till it peters out with enough flow. i only used the fiat pump cause i knoew it would work, and i had one new laying around.
besides the 78 turbo brat is a work of parts put together to make a fun ad fast car, but yet very respectable to the neighborhood ricers running around along with the mustangs who dont laugh at the car anymore.
Actually I am not trying to get anymore flow out of the stock pump, just utilize a little more of its potential. Likewisw the the stock injectors will stay in place and I will use some of their untapped potential as well. I think it is great that you managed to make your vehicle work with parts from different manufacturers, more power to you.
but yeah let us know what you find out. and let us know how much more you can squeeze out of the stock parts.
:banghead: I will let you know what works and what doesn't, and if I hit my head on any walls.

best wishes
Thanks man! But for the record there is no "Boosting" of the fuel pump... it will be doing it's every day ho-hum job... we will just be taking better advantage of this work it has been doing... it looks like a number of this boards regulars are already aware of what i speak of and are taking advantage of it... some are not. I will do my best to give the correct information so any mods people make in the future will be somewhat educated guesses.

I will post bio of the car and some pics of it and the mods I have made in the next couple of days as well as the future stuff for it.

78Turbobrat, this would kind of fall under the same tone of response I gave to Caleb earlier... The stock Suburu pump will flow more fuel and build more pressure than what it is currently doing. At the level (boost wise) I am at, I don't need an exotic or p.i.t.a. setup, the stock stuff will work fine, if I convince it to do the extra work. My initial post was for someone who actually had already done this, so I could be lazy and use HIS(or hers) wheel. I wasn't debating the feasibilty of this modification, as I KNOW it can be done. I do appreciate what you and everyoneelse has to say. I will be hooking up a FPR and fuel pressure guage with an air/fuel ratio meter in the next week and I will let everyone know the results of the small changes you can make to our stock parts and the results that are obtained.

Caleb, yeah I know what you mean, I wasn't real excited about dinking with it on a Sunday afternoon... when I was using it to get to and from work, but my other car is back, so Electryc_monk, you tell me which way you turn it and how much and I'll go the other way! Rich is GOOD!
-
Caleb, man I just read my response to your initial post and....(hanging my head) sorry man! I didn't mean to disregard your input! And thanks for giving it.

Free Range, what year RX-7 did you get yours from?
-
Do It Sidewayz that is a great idea! I have access to several of those FPR's.. so amodifying I go! Hey what do you mean by the "Top"?
-
Caleb, did you do experiment with this?
Sam

Hmmm, I was wondering how many people have dealt with this... Did you experiment at all with it?

You can increase the fuel pressure to your injectors all you want.. Thats easily acomplished by removal of FPR and/or installation of a higher output pump. But the injectors themselves are limited to how much fuel they can spray with each pulse.. If your goal is to raise the amount of fuel your injectors are putting out, its time to hunt for larger injectors.. maybe injectors off an older Z-car?.. seems I heard somewhere that they might work.
Are you running higher than stock boost?
Thanks for the response! But... It sounds like you think that if our stock fuel pressure to the injector is 25 psi, and we double it(for arguments sake) and the bandwidth of each pulse stays the same, that more fuel won't be discharged from the pintle on each pulse?
Most car manufacturers size their injectors to a certain percentage of the maxium duty cycle for the size of a motor and its volumetric efficiency. Typically 60-80%, I am hoping Subaru's engineers think similarly to other M.E.'s.
Can we adjust our FPR's?
And yes I have increased my boost.

I have a 1988 turbo fulltime 4 wheel drive with the 4 speed auto. I would like to increase my fuel pressure to my injectors. Can someone save me from reinventing the wheel?

On the maf sensor of a 1988 turbo, does anyone know what the little screw(has a black plastic cap over it) that is next to the sensor plug-in does? I was hoping it could enrichen my air/fuel ratio... if so what way to turn it?
Thanks!

Yeah, so do my 88 GL-10 seats... so does the WRX seats, the problem is that they adjust UP more than they do down. What I mean is if you are 6'2" or taller you are hosed even with the seats at their lowest setting. It is almost like the M.E. that designed them was 5'7" or something...
