I have a buddy in Tonasket, I haven't been able to get a hold of him lately though. I guess this isn't really relevant though...

I think I was in the way more than anything:D , but I appreciate being able to see how the casting is done! Thanks.

Don't have any yet! I'm working on it though

Would you mind if I tag along? I'd like to learn a bit about the casting process. Probably around 7pm, right?

Maybe they want to see the justy there? I'll show them what a real subie is made of!

Yep! I'm new here, and proud to say that my justy is the "guinea pig" for Scott's lift ideas. I was thinking 1 or 2" originally, but Scott convinced me that if we are going through the trouble of doing it might as well do 3 inches. Can't wait! Thanks guys. Eventually (this spring) I hope to build a turbo justy setup for it too.

keep it alive!

Thanks, that was a helpful post. My car is EFI, so I have that going for me at least. I do car about longevity, so I will only probably be running very little boost. I do want to scare some ricers though! Any suggestions on making this setup easier on my little engine?? Also, thanks for the post about the pictures madkow007. I'll just have to wait til they take care of it! Thanks again everyone.

Hello Thanks for all your help so far. I'd like to keep this thread alive since I'm sure there are more people out there with some info to share, and also some people who are probably interested in turbos for their justy too! -Still looking for ideas on lower compression. van pistons? what are they? where can i get them? how much?? -also, fuel management. I think i'll be trying to convert to rabbit or fox components (Thanks mike), but will i still need some sort of management system for my car? is there a cheaper route than megasquirt or emanage?? -Still can't figure out the photo scenario... Thanks again!

Thanks Mike! That helps a lot. I guess I'll go junkyard searching this weekend! Wish me luck, Dylan

I've posted a similair question in this forum recently, as I plan on turbocharging my justy too! I have a few questions about the megasquirt system, so good luck! Dylan

Thanks Mike! What do you mean though by grabbing everything?? I'm not a master mechanic, but I'm alright at figuring things out with a little guidance. Thanks again. I'm getting very anxious. I predict that when I get my bus in daily driver shape again, I'll bring the justy in the shop and go at it. I'm excited to drive the bus again, and to get this project rolling! Still can't post pictures though.

Okay, I think I need to find some sort of medium between Troy's post and the more expensive way to go. I priced Megasquirt (on ebay) and it's about $300. I really need something for cheaper to manage my fuel. So any suggestions on that would be great. Also, still haven't heard anything about posting pictures on this site, is it possible? I'm still open to ideas and advice. Thanks for all the help!!

I got mine for $300 and 2 snowboards. It is in decent shape, but not perfect. One like the one you are describing might go for $1000, but i wouldn't pay much more for it. Justy's aren't that valuble (in a money sense anyway). I love my justy though!! I drive it everywhere. I think the GL came with 13" wheels too, and I don't know if they ever came with A/C, or power steering for that matter. But I'm not expert.

What type of piggyback system could you use? Thanks for all the help, I appreciate it. -I'm a bit concerned about the amount of oil that these justys run. Only 3 quarts! Is there a way to "up" the capacity a bit? -Also, I still don't know how to post pictures, I thought it would be easy!

I've heard a little about "megasquirt". Is it expensive? are there other more affordable fuel management options? Thanks for all the help guys!

Would you recommend an upgraded cam for running a turbo? I heard it was better to run lower compression, at least for the longevity of the engine. As far as college budget goes: yes, I don't have a lot of money for food, gas, living expenses etc, but my priorities are in a strange order i guess! I was hoping to pick up a used turbo for cheap and probably have to "rebuild" it, and also a cheap intercooler off of a saab or something. Then fabricate all the other parts (to the best of my ability). It's all a learning experience! Thanks for your help, any other suggestions??

Hello, I'm new to this forum and to Subarus in general. i just bought a subaru justy to drive around during the winter while my '64 vw bus sits under a tarp. I'm planning on turbo-ing my justy and I know there's a few people who have done it before here and know a bit about it. I have a few questions: -First off, how do you post pictures in the photo gallery?? -How do I build my engine to be lower compression? (I've heard of "van" pistons, but I don't know what they are or how to get them and how much they cost) -I know I will need to upgrade my injectors, but I don't know much else... I'm not a serious mechanic, but I love projects and can't wait to get started on this! I don't want to run serious boost, maybe like 6psi or so. Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! One more thing: I am trying to do this on a "college budget"!
