  1. The axle should come with the nut hardware and the pin.
  2. I dont know what will fit the justy. You can get the bushing set form Dale at Boxer4Racing.com.
  3. I had a guy in an RS do that as well....the diff was i beat him quite well. I just walked away at 10 PSI in 5th. Well said Ken.
  4. Thats a factory RX body kit. I have one on my wagon as well.
  5. no, cuz I didnt do one. To my knowledge I am the ONLY one do use one of those bushing sets on a Leone.
  6. Have the radiator checked out. Most of the time the rad catches most of the junk that enters/builds up in the system...and you will need to get that thing cleared out.
  7. Well....if we do 160x1.3 thats 208 CHP for the WRX. :-\ Do 160/0.7=228.57142857142857142857142857143. Close enough.
  8. 430lb over WRX, and 630 over STi. We used the 0.7. 161/0.7=230 and 206.5/0.7=295 An 88 RX with bottomless intake box and 10 psi did 88 to the wheels...thats about 118 CHP. My wagon did 99.2/141. WRX=~160=~227. Kevins on stock boost on cone intake did like 75 or so...thats 107 which is about 100% correct for a higher mileage/older turbo engine.
  9. I am basing it as the same drivetrain loss as a WRX....which is about 30%. It does between 158~163 to the wheels on any average WRX in bone stock condition.....and the factory statement is 227 at the crank...so thats about 70% of crank power making it to the wheels. Since mine is an older style 5spd like the WRX...and the previous number we ran worked out right for an RX thats been posted a few times in near stock condition...I went with that number. STi's however...are NOT the same. Their 6spd is a COMPLETELY redesigned transmission...its very un-similar to alot of things SUBARU has done in the past and is VERY efficient. STi's put down about 258~265 to the ground...300 at the crank as stated, thats about a 13.3% loss.....86.7% efficiency. PLUS....the numebers as compared to running with a near stock 2.5RS on the street matches the dyno numbers in various boost levels, as well as what Kevin has done at stock boost with his TWE stuff is within 1% of my numbers at stock boost with the TWE stuff.
  10. Where'd you get the rear struts from??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
  11. it flows better. Spyders were offered only in MPFI and MPFI+TURBO.
  12. nothing and nowhere that I know of..... :-\
  13. sometimes they are a biznotch...on the RX and wagon...once the nut is off, they just slide right out/in. If you clean the cooked grease/varnish off the bearing surfaces on the axle it helps a TON in getting the axles in and out. SUBARU has a special tool for pulling them in...and pushing them out...but they are rather large and probably expensive.
  14. bascially....id idled 'ok'....just ruffly for a min or two. During the first few miles of driving, it would hesitate and bog sometimes, and all of a sudden GO GO GO....after it got good and warm (7~10 mins) it seemed to stop doing it and idled fine. Warm start it did fine....but on every cold start it would do it.
  15. thermo switch on the rad is probably bad. When they go the fan is in fail safe mode....which is ON at all times.
  16. they are direct fit injectors. I think its possible that the injectors I installed needed to be used with the 87+ resistor block that the 85-86 stuff doesnt have. I still have them laying around, im going to try getting some specs on them, actual flow numbers and I might throw them into the RX at some point if they are like 250cc or so. I do know the wagon ran like crap until it got warmed up and the ECU got 'used to' them....
  17. Ive noticed that with the stock mounting of the TB on the spyder, it hits the pitch stopper thats stock on the non XT spyder cars.
  18. its not a very easy task to undertake. Really the best thing to do is get the complete donor car for ALL the wiring and brackets and so on...it will bolt in....but wiring and tweaking things here and there are key....really you need to 'sit down' with both cars for quite a while to get it absolutely 100% correct. Mine never ran correctly at idle/around town conditions because I never sat down with them...and I didnt have a donor car...jsut two complete spyder's and a few other complete non spyders. most are NA...some are turbo...found ONLY in the 87.5 and up XT's.
  19. I just might....depends on if/when I can get off work to do so.
  20. I dont know. 14~15's hopefully. Um....85~100 maybe?
