  1. I have an 87 rx awd turbo coming I know it has analog gauges does this have a boost gauge or a light? and if it has a light what pressure does the light come on?
  2. that's what I was looking for. I think any oil cooling is better than stock especially in a turbo application. I guess I'll have to figure out exactly what is legal in the class I'm planning to race this in.
  3. can I use a sandwich adapter type cooler and cool all the oil?
  4. so this is the same as a sandwich plate adapter type cooler that takes the oil and runs it through a the filter then the cooler and back or is it unique to the ea81
  5. I think I'll add an oil cooler as well as the intercooler if I can find one that is.
  6. yes a former GRM Challenge car built by a friend up here in CLT.
  7. I will add a top mount. I have an old celica top mount and a Mazda recirc valve. I don't plan to get nuts with this but bumping boost up to 10psi is not out of the question.
  8. I wouldn't mind doing an ej18 and use the stock EA82 turbo but the class this car runs in requires the original engine code IE.. if it was an EA82 it has to stay an EA82. I think 130 hp will be enough to run top 20 if I can tune the driver up.
  9. I am new to the subaru family and I am the new owner of a rather well known RX coupe. I am looking to improve performance. I was thinking about adding an intercooler and recirculation valve. Will this be a worth while modification?
  10. Hi I'm Phil I am new to owning a Subaru my family has several I was the rebel and had Datsuns. I am coming into possession of a car built by a member here (Pleiades) his $2004 challenge RX. I will post photos of the car once it is in my possession. My plans are: new struts I've been told they are tired possible rebuild I was also told the compression is down a bit add an intercooler ( I have both a top and front mount laying around upgrade exhaust to 2.5" for better boost response add 14 inch Peugeot wheels for street duty have the stock wheels (if they are steel) widened to 7" pick up a set of slicks for autocross duty I need to learn how to drive AWD so I hope Steven is willing to instruct me in the finer points.
