Turbone

Dang, you guys are having rotten luck. Thats 2 cars this year, right?

With a better suspension setup, the push and weight problem would be minor. And this would be the best bang for the buck. If you (Zukiru) make it to the Dragon this year, you have to get a ride in Frankenwedge. You might change your mind about the 2.5

Did you clean the seals? If they are clean of mold, dirt, etc they will seal to the glass better.

Give a hollar to the lads at ausubaru.com. There should be some in that area that would like to meet up with a yank and show him around

Have you tried taking the axle off the stub and working on it that way? Someone said the stub may be hung up on the sleeve that seperates the bearings. Have you pulled the stub out and tried looking to see if its dropped and in the way?

TD04 is perfect for the EA82T. It can safely be boosted up to 12psi. BUT, you better have a fresh build on the engine if you go that high. Mild cams are ok, altho in my case using stock cams and as a daily, my mileage is just now starting to get better. I get about 270mi per tank, compared to 230 not long ago. Dont ask me why, I dont know If I had the money I would port and polish a spyder intake and do the same to the turbo. Ceramic coat piston crowns, etc. I'm running a WRX DP to 2.5in exhaust and it seems to breath fine. I need to get my narrow band A/F gauge working so I know whats going on. My last engine failure was due to pre detonation from over boost (bad ebay mbc). I also think my knock control unit is on the fritz. I am unable to pass our emissions test at idle. The thing runs rich all the time. Which is fine by me. But a dyno test will verify everything I've done so far. On my last dyno run, all I had done was the exhaust, air filer(K&N), MSD coil, stock turbo and boost. It was putting out 100AWHP, which isnt to bad. I've been contemplating a oil cooler, but my entire cooling system is new and it runs cooler than normal. Also have a WRX IC installed. If you are going to run higher boost and romp on it often, than meth inj might be a good idea. Its getting real popular here on Rex's and STI's. Any upgrades I do now will be to get Nissan injectors, a fuel regulator and a higher flow fuel pump.

Alright, somebody better PM me those "other" pics

I got pissed at it and cut most of it out Sorry. And its running now. Just needs a oil change and plugs. Got the front bumper on, but the headlight wiring got hacked up due to the projector lens installation Got the headliner replaced and all the console out. Next the dash gets replaced then I can start putting it all back together inside. I also need a right headlight (glass). If anyone knows where I can find one, please let me know.

My parts book shows it as 91017 GA640.

You can try and straighten it out once you take it off. But its hardly worth the effort, theres plenty of mirrors available. Of course, I have several

Alright, let me know what your going to do. I know you probably have already, but I would definately go and read all you can about how Huck did his EG33 swap. This is not a plug and play deal. as you probably know already.

Not going to tempt fate on that one

Sure is a big difference between my 14's and your 17's. Looking good, for sure.

You use the 1.8 intake so everything stays the same. You need to use the 2.2 exhaust because the 1.8 has dual ports.

Ah, got it now. When you said exhaust port I was thinking in the valve area. I've never seen one cracked that bad and dont know what kind of effect it would have. But it doesnt look good :-\ I didnt get a chance to look at the one I have, will do it tomorrow.

Are you sure it goes up into the exhaust port? Never seen a gen3 do that, but I guess its possible.

1.8 is out and 2.2 is in

All I need now is the Confed sign on the roof and a horn that plays Dixie To bad I'm a Yank :-\

Yeah, does anyone want to buy a under car light kit?

Wait till I get it lowered some I believe they are American made, thier made by Sendel. And I've seen the brand around with newer stuff. Of course, these were made for a Pug, not Subaru. I cant remember where Qman picked them up, but it was about 5-6yrs ago.

No, you dummy. You took off without saying bye or anything :-\ And you should have said something when we were looking at them. You know I suffer from CRS

Bring it down to the SRP BBQ, I'll take some pics

Hmmm, 2 ECU's. So, exactly what are we working on here? Might need to trace back the wiring for the elec choke and figure out what went pop.

A little update on my progress. Pretty much got the back done. Lights, bumper, exhaust and rear struts (old ones had cut springs). And replaced the drivers door. I got all the interior parts and other odds and ends off a car at PIA in Tacoma. Starting on the front stuff today. I was very fortunate and picked up a free wrecked 97 with a 2.2. High miles but no leaks, its replacing the 1.8.

The only other fuse that I can think of is one under the dash by the steering colume in a in-line white plastic holder.
