See what happens when you leave them alone at night!! they multiply!! My new car...well, my new transmision anyways!! Thanks to a freind i work with...

ohy, xt6 has the electronic power steering, continualy adjusting, stiffens at higher speeds, more power at very slow speeds etc. to keep the wheel from doing that jittering you speek of. I have the xt-6 stuff on my car, no huge handling imporvments.

SWEET!!! thats awesome...i don't know that i would have ever figured that one out....

nice, those new bugs are aweomse. That hole in the dash definitly housed either a gauge pod, a map system dealy, or something of that sort. Boost gauges on these cars though are normaly on the steering colum...

the car is not necesarily in bad shape, i'm assumeing that the car was reposesed, thats why your buying it from a bank. So my guess would be that the guy who owned the car, had a decent sum of money into it, realized it was going to be re-posesed and took all of the stuff off. You should look around for evidence that there have been parts in there, missing heat shields...modified muffler hangers etc. The car may have been driven hard, at high boost, my concern would be that it was driven at very high boost, enough to damage the engine, head gaskets, piston rings or things like that.

An Rx, in a junkyard? any one up for a road trip to idaho...?

this site is great for just about everything i need, but it being a school project i'm doing i can't get away with listing the USMB as my one and only source... All_talk....where did you find the turbo maps for the Tdo4-G13? Thread: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22146 Thanks for your help guys...making school projects just that much easier for me!! Dan

I need to start compiling all the sources that i may end up using for doing my senior project for school. Posted about the project itself a lil while ago, alot of changes, but you'll get the jist of it: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=21593 So, i need some help, i need sources of where this kinda information is posted on the web, in books, etc, besides on this board. If you know of any websites that talk about the performance gains of any particular part, the workings of things, like how an intercoolar actualy cools air kinda thing, where things can be purchased etc..please post. My list is very small so far, mostly cuz i can't remember where i see most of this stuff... Thanks, Dan

the wastgate control will go off when it senses boost creep or excesive boost. Its saying that theres something wrong with the amount of boost being run. So with that code, and the others, i would assume that the person that had the car had a decent sum of parts on it at one point, as in a boost control, catless exaust etc..

Code 12= "Ignition Pulse system (NG) Engine off" I'm sure that little piece will help you loads Dan

I assume you know how to pull codes already... List: (from chiltons) 11 Crank Angle Sensor 12 Starter Switch 13 Crank Angle sensor- no position pulse 14 Fuel Injector 21 Water temp sensor 23 Aif flow meter 24 Air control valve 31 Throttle sensor 32 Oxygen Sensor 33 Car speed sensor 34 EGR 35 Purge control selenoid valve 42 Idle switch 45 Kickdown control relay 51 Neutral Switch 55 Egr temp sensor 61 Parking switch Hope this helps

Your current fly wheel as in the one thats attatched the your auto tranny? With an auto tranny you actualy have whats called a "flex plate" Its what your tourque converter bolts to, so you have no fly wheel. In a manual tranny the flywheel is what the clutch presses against, to attatch the engine to the wheels... so you gotta find a fly wheel as well...

jeez..20hp eh? i don't think i had more than a 5-6hp gain when i put mine on, it was when i picked up the boost that it really made itself known... you have so much on your car that many of us have been struggling to figure out...we/i could use a whole bunch of pictures to satisfy some curiosities....

96K miles!! i think that makes me the lowest posted so far! I get 16-18 mpg, though i also run at higher boost, and drive like a mad-man...engine was rebuilt 5k miles ago, still runs excelent, save for the fuel cut issues:banghead:

hey, wait a second, i got a guess...are the cams ground wrong? since its such a technical process...you never stated when suggestions would have to have been made by..... :grin:

Only the earlier ea-82s had the flapper intakes, if i remember correctly, his car has the maf style one.

i thnk the valve timing idea isn't the one, i just cannot fathom in what fashion that the t-belts would be off to allow for that sort of compresion test result. So what i gather from the test results is that the left side tests good, right side bad. Test again and right side tests good, left side bad. I don't get it...makes me wanna get to the engine my self and start trying to figure it out. (up for company in oregon? ) I'm going to assume that it's a true hardware issues, something is weird with the parts being used. you say it was the same with the old engine that got blown up; was it also a carbed block? So being the second complete rebuild with the same re-ocuring problem...i'd assume it to be with something that you are using. The cams, the block, the heads. Huge crack in the head? naw...sticking lifters? possible...but the problem is to consisten, i sticking lifter you would think would be an in-consisten problem. I'm probably going to be thinking about this untill the wee hours of the morning...i'll get back to you when i figure it out.

What if the piston rings weren't seated correctly? could they hold pressure long enough to test, but under pressure move to allow a loss of compresion? i'd pour oil down each hole and re-test too see weather or not piston rings where the problem. I'd also be trying to find out where the air thats leaking out is going...i'd put my hand over the oil filler to see if exaust air is coming out there, or listen weather air is coming back up through the intake (can you hear that? i've never tried?) to see the valves move you can pull the exaust off and watch through the exaust port. Now, i've heard rumor that there is a funny vent tube on the carbed blocks that isn't adaptable with the turbo's...i don't really know the details on that one though...

ohy, no kidding, run a price check on the price of the 3-way high flow cats, and a pricing on the hollowing of a cat, if your poor, like me, i'd certintly opt for the free way. Though i do still run both cats on my wagon, no muffler, i'd like to change it one day. The cost of having the custom pipe bent for my exaust is going to be a large bill to start with, not counting the cost of what it would be if i wanted to run it with high flow cats. Now...i'm not saying every one should run w/o cats, if you have the extra money, by all means, go and buy those super cool hi flow cats, save a few trees and birds. On the intake, i've not had many problems with the cone that i have in the engine bay, it would be a great idea though to route that cone filter into the wheel well, where the stock one pulled from..i wonder if there is room for a full filter in there after pulling out the original air piece thats in there? time for a run to home depot

oh yea, a heli coil is way stronger then the standard alluminum threads, you will be hard pressed to strip that out, possible, but you'll reallllly have to work at it

Be nice to your subaru!!! it deserves better!!!!

It was me with the abs intake piping, and no i havn't melted it yet. but i do hope to get some nice shiny mandrel bends the throw on there instead, gotta find em for a reasonable price though first. Should look pretty sweet once i get those in there, and ther intercooler mounted up striaght.

its a coolant by-pass.... jeez, i made this thread months ago...that problems long gone but since then, i've blown just about every sngle other freaking hose in the engine...think i've gotten them all by now... oh, and that little hose, connects into the block, via a little nipple, wich is now leaking from around it! J-b weld should hold it for a while longer

Diff can't be flipped, not easily, or to any effect. Rear diff has a mounting bracket on top; front diff, what would be the point? switch wich tire burns when you throw it in fwd? The sti engine is wayyyyy reinforced to handle the 14 some odd punds of boost they run on it stock, and you could turbo a outback block, but it would be recomended to run lower compresion pistons so you wouldn't have to be running stuff like race fuel all the time, or turning you timing so far back your not getting any more gains...easier to do an sti swap...easier yet to buy an sti....
