Damn, I just heard about this. Sorry to hear Will..
-
In the US you have to be 21 or older to drink/buy alcohol.
At least it's not like Canada though (19 is legal drinking age there) where even beer is sold only in the liquor store!
????
I've had beer in plenty of bars in Montreal, Quebec and Toronto, and I've bought alcohol there as a 18 yr-old too.

Yes i was piss rump roast drunk when i drove into my friends car. I just forgot i had brakes.
I'm sure you don't need anyone else to tell you that's probably not a smart idea...
-
How about this site's classifieds?
-
I will need to use the knuckle up front, thats not an issue.
I can probably have a new axle stub machined for the rear so the hub will slide on the shaft and bolt down. Then its a matter of making/finding a backing plate so the caliper hardware will mount up.
Interesting.... I'd like to see you pull this off.
-
Nice indeed.
I need to get in on this freecycle deal!
-
What did the yard do wiht the other two?
-
I am not using the rear knuckles..so I dont need the subframe. Just the backingplate/hub stuff.
Saying stage keeps it all stright in my head, so knock it off. :-p
How can you just use the hubs? Don't you need to mount them to the knuckes? '05 STi stuff is compatable? -
Its very possible. The VF7 housing gets machined for clearance...and there is a shim/spacer made so that the 13G wheel can be pressed onto the VF7 shaft. And then you are done.
However...that turbo will not be built. I am going to experiment with a complete TD04L-13G on it first.
Interesting. FYI, word on the 2.0 forums is that the stock WRX turbo is a 13T, not a 13G, if thats what you're planning on using.
-
I see a problem. If you were doing the swap with a GC, you'd need the '05 rear subframe to get those rear hubs in. Is that setup a fit for your RX?
-
Will, how were you planning on putting this 13G/VF7 combo together? I thought that IHI and Mitsu turbos were incompatable.
-
I feel like a real n00b around seriously old-school Subies. Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is a GSR?
-
Northwet, thanks for the heads up on the management. Exactly what control does this setup afford? Also, why MAP over MAF? I've heard the opposite is more tunable.
-
What I've heard is that certain Leon/Loyales were made from recycled steel that was less durable than the new stuff.
-
Bump... I like this thread.
-
Eh, most old Loyales I've seen are rusty. My 91's fenders have practically rusted off.... there's a hole in the rear quarter panel big enough to stuff your fist through.
The car's still reasonably solid underneath, though, I never feel it flex excessively or anything. Hard for us to tell how bad yours is without seeing it, but I'd guess its solid enough for at least a few more years service.
-
I'm starting to think I'm a little too new school for my own good.
I hear "GF" and I think 1st gen Impreza wagon.
-
Me too. I'm trying to turbo an NA EA82.
I'm planning on using EA82T plumbing, USDM WRX IC, or maybe an old AWIC if I can find one.
Then, add water injection, boost controller, VF11 or VF7, maybe even a VF8.
I'm going to need an AFC to prevent busted pistons, I know, but the more safegaurds the better. Anyone have anything on this MS&EDIS? I'm too lazy to search right now.
-
I dunno, how much have to got to spend? I'm going with MS&EDIS, cause I'm mostly broke and I'm going to tune it myself, but any will work
How much have I got to spend? Not much... I was planning on some sort of AFC.
How hard is it to use this MS&EDIS?
-
take Will's set up add engine managment and you should be set, with ofcourse some studs and better head gaskets
What kind of management would you recommend?
-
Let's just say that Jamie and I have had our moments, and leave it at that, we are again friends and that is all that matters.
Well, I was talking to moosey, but thanks.
-
Well,I had a change in heart on this.Although I won't be voting I just won't pass my less than wonderful experience with Ms.Thomas along any further.
Jamie,the '73 looks very cool here in CT!!!
:-\
I have never once heard anyone have a bad experience with Jamie. PM me if you don't want to post it, please.
-
soo... my question becomes.. if this is the new rally/sti standard...
does that mean that the production sti's will also start doing the "4 bolt" pattern
thus spurring the rim industry to start makeing after market rims
instead of us po'folk having to daydream of importing them ?
Doubt it. Pretty sure Subarus will be going to the 5x114.5 pattern on the '05 STi hubs.
-
lets see, you could get a p&p on the intake and exhaust, valve job, delta cams , forged pistons, spyder intake manifold with larger throttle, better injectors with possibly a custom fuel rail, adjustable fpr, high flow fuel pump, ms'n' edis with msd ignition components, deadbolt monster td04 turbo, custom header, 2.5-3" exhaust with like a bell mouth downpipe, lightened and high rmp balanced drive shaft, 2-core radiator, fmic, lightened forged piston rods, possibly a light weight balanced crank, ic sprayer, and thats all i can think of for the moment, i might burn a few more brain cells trying to think up some more though. i think that can all be done with the ea82. thats my plan for building up a monster anyways. itsgoing to hurt my wallet.
good luck and keep us posted on what you go with and how much your putting out.
peace
tim c.
You forgot something, Tim.
Water injection - great safegaurd against det. It's definitely going into my EA82T.
Coupe goodness.....(56k, make a sammich)
in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...

Yeah, how did you clean it up so well?
