No. Absolutely not. If done correctly, it will last just as long as stock if not longer.

Lookie lookie... More pics to come...as the RX is 100000 times cleaner looking now...and a nice coat of fresh wax on it.

Awesome. I'll get to see that XT in a few weeks...right?

Methanol.

and I only see TWO pics?!?! Whats the deal with that? Nice nonetheless...

Too late. Its out there. I did not get a chance to test the EVO 8 injectors yet. I was busy making the car drivable again.

RX's were made from 1985 to 1989. The 1985-1986 series were only part time 4WD and sedan form only...in several colors...red, blue etc... 1987 to 1989 were all white, sedan or coupe...and had Full Time 4WD with a locking center diff. Last year of sedan RX was 1988. In 1989, some were made in black...and Full Time 4WD automatic 4EAT's (electronic controlled 4 speed auto) in either white or black. Black is most rare. All came turbocharged from the factory, all with factory LSD in the rear, and all were 3.70 final drive with the low range being a 1.196 reduction. I'll post some pics a little later.

#1 was steering rack bushings. I'll post the part number soon. these were DIRECT FIT no mods needed. Remove old ones, install new ones, done. IIRC these are the ones for the GMx/GGx/GCx/GC8 Imprezas. #2 was some intake work. For the cast iron elbo i had going from the turob outlet to the STi TMIC inlet hose...it had all those wonderful pipe threads and ugly casting junk in there. So...got out the titanium/diamond bits and air dremmel...and made it SMOOTH and LARGE on the inside. The car DOES feel a TON better now. Little bit quiter spool, smother-more power up top...Dyno results comming soon. #3 is going to be dyno runs...again. Im going to do several stock boost pulls. Next, up the boost in teeny bits until I get to the max safe level...and stay there. I am predicting 11 psi.

The car is sitting there running. It never stopped. I drove it right out...forwards out. It got deeper there in front of it in the 'middle' of the 'lake' there...

hey, they look like they will fit....so back off....you guys talk about using Nissan-Datsun injectors. :-p

send email! wmaham1701@hotmail.com Kevin...are those 200 hp numbers at the wheels? on the XT6 N/A?

Im bored. EVO 8 USDM injectors. 565 CCs. On the RX. Tomorrow I should know if they work or not with the Intake and all that....they look like they will work, same connectors and they are topfeed...

DOOD. Hm....that'd be cool.

GOOD. I'll be there for SURE now. Along with some ubber special Top Speed stuffs...

Ok Will, am I understanding this correctly, that a stock EA82T with a Legacy turbo leans out at high RPM? I will see 4700 rpm for 5 to 10 minutes at a time. A little rich is ok but I would be affraid lean would lead to detonation. Subpilot I dont have a lagacy VF11 turbo. I have the STOCK VF7...and was running 15 PSI. If you keep boost At or UNDER 11 PSI...you will be fine for infinity. I have run the entire Dragon and Cherohala skyway 100% at 11 PSI. Thats QUITE a beating on the car. the dragon is 11 miles, 318 turns, tight twisty road course style perfection. The Skyway is about...of...25 miles if ultra high speed road course style stuff. pretty much 85% of the Skyway is WOT....where as the Dragon is about 60%. I had no problems keeping up with a stock STi on the Dragon...skyway was...well, more of a problem but he never got more than 1/4 mile out front. You will be safe with a VF11 at 10 PSI im sure of....especially if you've got a good intercooler setup. With no IC? Dont run more than the stock level...wish is 6.5~8 psi.

Super Pro. Search for super pro bushings. here on USMB

that has already been done.

No. Direct fit.

Datsun 450 injectors. Hopefully going to a dragway friday. lean? yes. Either way, no boring other than cyl wall cleanup. HGs, EM, pistons are comming.

No overbore for me...that will make the cyl walls even thinner and weaker. RIght now the goal is to have the highest power EA82T in the world on stock internals-turbo-EM...etc etc... then I will build. Even then, no over bore. Pistons, rods, crank, Cometics, special TWE cams, turbo, EM, intake manifold, air/water IC.... The next step right now is to get a better boost controller, do 1 more dyno run at see if I can get it to 170 WHP...then go EM...run some more...injectors...more runs...and then its all over. Start 'The Build.'

The fact that the stockers dont even flow enough at 80 PSI to keep up with 15 PSI under 3500 rpms. and so what if I need a FPR and FP? I know I will.

you can run it at 10 PSI every day safely....12 on a 13g (td04) is pushing it. The injectors will probably go static at about some where around 3,500~4,000 for you at 12. 10...5k id imagine. As you can see...at 15 PSI with the header-DP-STi TMIC on a stock VF7...2800 is where mine went. Last dyno runs it showed 4k...but the probe was after the cat.converter and way at the back of the car. This time the wideband was up front. The time before last, I ran several runs on stock boost...10 and 12 then 14 and 15 PSI...10 and 12 was still very safe. Stock I got flat 10:1 all the way to redline. 10, same thing. 12 it went to 11:1 from 5000~6500. 14 and 15 is where it went full and dangerzone lean past 3500. On a turbo car,once you hit boost, you want to stay at or below 12:1...ideally, Doug tunes the cars for 11:1, and on some extreme setups, 10:1 to be safe. I was very impressed with the RX at even 10 PSI to be under 12:1 to redline. *one important lesson learned....more fuel pressure does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING on stock injectors. It still went static and lean really early, in this case at 2800. At the very least, we need 450CC injectors and a reflash for those with the stock ECU. !20 deg timing is where it needs to be for pump gas up to 15~16 psi...i was running about 25 or so...but having C16 in it helped alot. I am going to be keeping my eyes open for those nissan 300~450 injectors, and those DIS kits that are floating on ebay...MS+DIS is next.

Nope.... After several runs....this is what we maxed the car out with...mix of 8 gals 93 pump gas and 5 gallons C16 (116 octane leaded race fuel for those who dont know) Had the 'test pipe' on...2.5" stright pipe with no cats. Looks like this is the max with out going larger turbo or more boost (this was 15 PSI).... Thats...234 hp and 312 tq at the crank. Not too bad I guess... There past 5k where it 'skipped' with the fuel cut gremlin...it blew the probe out of the pipe, so I stopped before i got to 6500...i tohught it was full lean...lol....ofcourse its WAY too lean anyhow.

To me mostly. 200 All Wheel Horsepower. I've already got 205 TQ at the wheels....now I just need 40 more HP and I can break a record. what do I need? completely stock: engine internals, engine management, turbo, injectors...etc.... only mods will be the IC, header-TBE, boost controller, intake, radiator, and me behind the wheel. Oh and a bypassed FPR. Hopefully...we will see if it is possible if Doug ever gets done tuning this engine swapped WRX thats on the Dyno right now....

give it to me or fix it.
