Contrary to what many believe, the "chimney" is there to remove heat from under the hood. Yes, at high speed some air will come down and cool the turbo. But the primary purpose is to vent the hot air surrounding the turbo out from under the hood, at low speeds and stop and go driving.

Are they clean or rotten? Are they the 2dr coupe shells?

Awesome!! Subaru's are finally getting the attention they deserve.

The TD05 was a turbo made by mistubishi for Subaru. It was found the 93-96 Impreza wrx and Impreza wrx STi. Grab it if you can, its a badass turbo, good for 350 hp, its laggy, but once spooled pulls to redline. Its much more powerful than a vf 11.

What do you guys think of Kendall fully synthetic?

you might want to swap in a Legacy turbo EJ22G (AKA EJ22T) from a 91-94 Legacy. ALthough most think their the same as the N/A models infact they are completely different: The EJ22G has a fully closed deck shortblock, its casted using a much different and higher density aluminium from N/A EJ22's. Crank bearings are shot peened, all internals are forged, except pistons which are pressure cast (stength lies in between cast and forged pistons). There are oil injectors to cool bottoms of the pistons. 8:1 compression ratio. The heads have differnt oil journals and fittings to send oil to cool the turbo. The EJ22G was built stronger than any current day wrx.

he prolly wasn't laughing at you, he just saw that you were an owner of an older subaru and smiled or something like that.

hey stinger,
how does Vancouver or BC for that matter, look in terms of Legacy turbos? Do you see any around or for sale?? I think I'm gonna buy another one sometime in the near future from out west (no damn salt out there)

no way an XT hoodsoop will do you any good. You need atleast a 2.5RS or WRX scoop. Otherwise you'll just be creating an interheater. Also the XT hoodscoop, just like the Legacy turbo scoop was never designed to force air around the turbo. Instead they act as chimneys when in traffic or parked, to allow smoldering hot air surrounding the turbo to vent up and out of the engine bay, in hopes of keeping underhood temps lower.

how hard is it to find a Legacy Turbo 5spd tranny? Are they expensive?
Mark,

Yes, hopefully I can make it out to rally Maniwaki this weekend.

I'm not french Canadian. but I'm just wondering whether there are any other Canadian voices here?? Seems like Subaru mecca is down south in PA, VA, NJ etc, along with out west OR, WA. Hence most of the members are from there. Seems its a little quiet up here, especially when neat old soobs are constanly coming up for sale down south. Up here, well, I had a look in all the yards, found an xt, gl hatch.... I still havn't even seen an RX in my life yet. Its way too quiet for an old school fan here, looking for company.

hmmm very interesting info. I had no idea the EA82/T's were closed deck. And the info about fitting an oil cooler is also good to know in the future.
Thanks,

Moisture absorbing plugs are also a good idea, especially if your gonna store it in a damp garage or outside shed.

The Legacy turbo shortblock also used a different aluminium from all other subaru engines. Its a much denser high silica aluminum, the more you learn about the EJ22T the greater the gem it becomes.

Prolly just a bad headgasket. One could most likely pluck this out of the yard for pennies. I would, except for the fact thats its a 1000 miles away from me:(

Read the description
Body looks real good on this car. It'd be a shame to scrap it.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33638&item=2456584357

Nice car, but how does air get to the intercooler????

Are the ER27's rare motors? How much do they go for? How much is it to rebuild one?
Mark,

Thas good to know, I think an RX shell with the XT6 motor would make an awesome combo. Would be pretty quick too.
Mark,

Just out of curiousity has anyone put an XT6 motor in an RX? How much work is it? Will it bolt up?
Thanks,

was this the GC8 body style or current?

Rust Prevention- Best Method, Hot Oil?

Ive used Krown, Heard nothing but good things about it. I use it on my 94 Turbo sedan and shes mint. Its not hot when they apply it, but its very viscous so it creeps into spot weld joints and seams very well. I usually pull the door sills, trunk panelling and some grommets then ask the guys if they could spray in those areas as well. That and Counteract Electronic rust protection apparently works very well.
