Hrmm...lemme see here. Put a 38hp wet shot of nitrous on the Justy (which is about a 50hp jetting on a 4 cylinder). And..and.. a custom intake and exhaust from the header back. Hrmrmmm....with just the nitrous alone, that'll be 14.8lbs/hp. That leaves 1.4lbs/hp left. Perhaps...maybe.....ah...nevermind. All you'd need is a turbo/intercooler setup that will get you about 50hp extra. Heck, not even that much if you lighten the Justy. You'd be on par with a stock Neon SRT-4. :-p

I can't wait to see the end result. I'm hoping everything comes together well.

You are not alone! I'm the same way as well, despite how long this has been going on. It's entertaining though if nothing else is left to look at. Nice pics BTW! If you guys want to look at the rest of them, just change the last two numbers of the pic link. I think it goes from *59 to *70. I thought I saw a pic of Janet Jackson's nip*** in one of those photos!?! Ban Calebz!

They sell adapter plates at Autozone? I wish I would've known about this. Thanks! Good info!

Just be sure you get THAT Toyota Previa maf adapter. I believe their are two different ones. There's the one Subarubrat is recommending---> And one I recently purchased for my XT6---> I purchased the one above believing the other once was restrictive due to the corners being squared and not rounded off. They both are for the Toyota Previa. I ended up having a hardware store drill out the holes I needed in the above maf and it works fine. But it wasn't a direct fit.

1: How much you paid to get your cams done, $161.85, shipped. 2: What car you got it done on, 1989 2.7ltr XT6 3: Cam specs, Same as Tex. Ive got a scanned pic somewhere. 4: Time it took to receive your regrinded cams, 1.5 weeks. 7 days of UPS Shipping, 1.5 days me sending in and them getting the cams. 5: What power improvements (hp and/or torque) gains or loses have you observed, tested, and/or noticed. Cams are not installed just yet. Just got them in today. The T-shirt they sent was nice. *Chest swelling up* I will post dyno results once I get them in.

Hey SubaruTex, I've been following your project for a bit and I asked a question a while back but you may have forgotten to post about it or didnt' have time to look. Do you know what your Sensor Calc and Sensor Number setting is on your SAFC for your setup? Thanks!

Yeah! http://www.xt6.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1691&highlight= I can't believe I forgot about that post. At the time I was all indecisive about what I wanted to get done. Looking forward to seeing how your headwork comes out. Reading about all the camshaft talk here got me all woozy.

Scott of DeltaCams gave me a call yesterday. He stated that the XT6 cams can be regrounded and that it will not be a problem. He stated that it wouldn't affect the XT6s bottom end significantly but that the top end will be able to pull upwards to 7000rpm. It'll cost $75.00 per cam. I believe Delta Camshaft is going to use the cam grind profile that they already have for the EA82 engines. Anyways, that's all the info I have for now.

This is great stuff! I'm wondering why people aren't knocking down your door for these mods. I'd specifically want the intake, steel header, down pipe, high flow cat, cat back...I mean the works. I don't even own a 1.8ltr turbo (hope to someday). I'd love to see the 1/4 mile trap speed of that car. Tom....nice work.

ProECM Powerchip was removed since my last dyno run. So here's a 3rd gear comparison of my ProECM installed from 2 weeks ago vs my best 3rd gear pull today (both with the JCSports intake installed). Also note: Today's JC Sport intake had a brand new K&N filter while two weeks ago had a used filter intalled.

Stock intake with the snorkus cut and aluminum ducting going out to the foglight (with brand new STP filter put in before dyno). Stock intake 2.75" inner diameter. VS JC Sports intake for Impreza 2.5RS (3" diameter). Brand new K&N air filter installed the night before and used first on the dyno. Used 93 octane on the runs. Results: Fullrun 1st-3rd gear. 1st gear close up: 2nd gear close up: 3rd gear close up:

What do you mean Hmmmmmm......? Get your butt down to your neighborhood True Value store and make 'us' some pipes. Lots of bling in your pockets if it works.

Hello WJM, How much would these cost individually? Where did you get the info from as to the one they already did? How much hp/torque did it gain vs the stock unit? Might as well do my homework through you for a future project. Thanks!

I'm using the same combo that you use in your hatchback in my XT6 'cept I'm using 10w40 (factory recommended). I am wondering why more people haven't mentioned something about the Castrol High Mileage oil. Is there something really different about it or is it all marketing hype?

Partsman, How much for a gasket seal kit for a Subaru XT6 (any year)?

.......... Thank you Subaru_guy! That's what I get for skimming over a post too quickly. And thank YOU Jerry for posting your information.

Is this really Delta Camshaft (Scott)? Did you mean to post something? I'm sending my 2.7ltr XT6 camshafts off today via UPS. A letter/note is inside. If you'd like to discuss further details, please give me a call at the number I provided inside the box. Thanks! Edit: *Oops* I can't send it out today. Federal Holiday! Will send tomorrow.

Hey Skip, I have no idea what I'm talking about. In the realm of valvetrains, lifters and cams all I'm capable of doing is quoting scary text. So I put it out there so I can learn something from the higher ups here. :cool: Now to find a decent box so I can send out my cams. Thanks!

I know what you are saying Robm. The DeltaCams site recommends this with their new cam grinds. This concerns me as I have already spend $500+ on new lifters for my XT6 about a year or two ago and planned on never to do this again. Here's the link to the DeltaCams helpful tips section. http://www.deltacam.com/tech.htm "1. Always use new lifters when installing a new camshaft. The bottoms of the lifters are spherically convex ground, and the cam lobes are ground with taper. The mating of these two surfaces ensures that the lifter will rotate, thus reducing the chance of premature wear. If you install used lifters on a new or reground camshaft, early failure is almost certain." That last part in bold is what bothered me. Everything on my XT6 is almost certain to fail. :-p Fortunately, it seems people here haven't had a lot (or any) problems with their new cam grind. Unfortunately, I wouldn't fit in the same category as there are no XT6 cam grinds available....yet. I just need balls big enough to be the guinea pig. *Thinking* ........*shaking*

Are all you dudes giants walking around here? I'm 6'0 but jeez! :cool: I'd hate to see a ricer receive a Scooby beatdown by a group of you guys. :-p And to stay on topic, I fit in my Scoobies just fine.

This file is the 1st-3rd run of all the ECUs. Remember: Part# AC831 is my stock ECU, Part# AD400 is a 1999 2.5ltr Legacy GT ECU and Part# AD400 is the 'other' 1997 2.2ltr Impreza ECU for other models made in 1997. 1st-3rd gear run Just for further analysis, I'll post up each gear of all these runs, hp/torque and air/fuel ratio and leave it at that. I know there are a ton of things (like the size of the pics) that could be done better dyno wise but this is my 2nd time on the dyno. I'm not rich so I plan to spend as little time there as possible with each dyno session BUT I feel like I'm on Dyno-Crack now. I have to be there as much as possible. I've already made more appointments to test out little stuff. Before posting the dyno charts of each gear, notice the hp/torque spikes in each gear. This is the valve body shifting pretty hard (just the way I like it). I tried to describe the feeling to folks as 'it-throws-the-car-forward while shifting. At least the full dyno run in to 3rd gear shows why. Torque shoots up in between gears. Pretty cool eh? 1st Gear of Full Run 2nd Gear of Full Run 3rd Gear of Full Run Looks like the Legacy ECU makes the most power, then the 'other' 1997 2.2ltr ECU, then my stock Ecu. The air/fuel ratio looks interesting. The Legacy is LEAN. Can't see how I got away using that ECU doing what I did. I'll stop here. Comments!?!

Car: 1997 2.2ltr Subaru Impreza Outback Sport Wagon (AWD/Autotranny) Dyno: Dynojet *AWD Dyno* Place: Xotic Motorsports Current Mods: Underdrive Pulley and 2.25" axle back exhaust (Remus-dual) That's it! Tests: Tested 3 different ECUs for my car. Did 6 dyno pulls total. The first 3 were 3rd gear pulls up to around 6000rpm. ECUs where changed and reset (Pocketlogger) after each run. The 2nd 3 dyno pulls where from 1st gear all the way up to the top of 3rd gear at 6000rpm. This way you could see the hp/torque and even shift characteristics of each ECU to compare. ECUs Tested: Part#AC831 This the ECU that comes stock in my car according to the vin number (lost my original ECU, don't ask). Part# AD61A This is a 1999 2.5ltr Legacy GT ECU. I used this while I was running turbo/nitrous for years. Just took it off the car last month. Part# AD400 This is a 1997 2.2ltr Impreza ECU. It's not for my car but other models of Impreza in 1997. The first 3 runs where done in 3rd gear starting between 65mph-60mph. It's really difficult to get a decent run in this gear without having the tranny downshift into 2nd gear. Sudden mashing of the throttle even this high can make the tranny downshift even if it has only 200rpm left to go before shifting into 3rd. The pics are way to big to post and show here. 3rd Gear Run Sorry for the huge file sizes as I'm still getting used to changing the dyno files over into pdf and then to jpg format. Note my stock ECU makes less horsepower than the Legacy and the other 2.2ltr ECU. My stock ECU also seems to run richer than the rest. I tested my stock ECU first, the 'other' 2.2ltr Impreza 2nd and the Legacy ECU 3rd. I didn't let the car cool down for no more than 5 minutes in between each run. If someone can make these files smaller for me, please let me know. I'll delete what I have up and submit a smaller size. I'm not good at these things. Next up: 1st to 3rd gear run of each ECU.----------------->

I just got off the phone with Scott at Delta Cams and well.......they don't have a grind for the 2.7ltr XT6. So, I'm going to send mine in either today or tomorrow and Scott is going to look over them and compare/see if anything is close to it as far as regrinds go. Scott stated they did the same thing with the EA82 cams and it just seems to work very well for the Subbies that use them. So......here goes nothing. Oh...and the grind I am asking for is to improve my top end and/or the high rpm range (5400-6200rpm). According to my dyno runs, this is where the XT6 seems to fall flat on it's face.....badly. I don't need any more low end torque since I have FWD and all I'll have is BBQ tires everytime I'd moderately take off. Thanks guys! Keep the posts coming!

Here is an email I sent to Level 10 Transmission and their response to it. It's a simple response but one nevertheless. Just wanted to show this to the turbocharged (or nitrous..hehe) Justy guys that are having trouble with their ECVTs tranny design. I wish they would've gone into more detail since their response was really broad. "Dear Kevin, How are you? hope all is well. We can upgrade those transmissions also. We can build the whole transmission or the valve body and torque converters. Thank You for contacting Level 10 Products Sincerely, Sam Ismail Level 10 Products 3670 Rt 94 Hamburg N.J. 07419 (973) 827-1000 -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Thomas [mailto:thomasck@comcast.net] Sent: Friday, February 06, 2004 10:49 AM To: info@levelten.com Subject: ECVT Transmission work Hello Pat and Sam, A couple of guys have gotten together and are building 2 turbocharged Subaru Justys (please don't laugh..hehe). I'm interested in doing the same but with an automatic transmission. Pat, you've done some work on a Subaru Impreza Outback Wagon of mine (white/black stripes...turbo/nitrous....back in January 2001) and it is still going strong. I'm looking to have a Justy's automatic transmission made stronger but it's not the same. It's an ECVT transmission. I know you guys are pros and all but do you (or have you) done any work on an ECVT (you know but I have to add it: Electronically Controlled Variable Transmission) and if so, what can be done to 'beefen' it up. Stock Justys are about 75hp/73lbs-ft. With the turbo, estimating around 145hp/lbs-ft - 155hp/lbs-ft or so. Not a lot but enough to tear up the trannies as 1 of the guys found out previously. If you do work on these, please let me know. Thanks Kevin Thomas"
