Converting carb to MPFI? Need help
Here is a guy who took the CIS-e injection from a volkswagen and installed it on his ea82. He did put on mpfi heads and added a high pressure fuel pump under the hood. you could always do what this guy did using the carbed manifold with custom injector boses in the intake manifold. I'm sure you could even use a jumper harness and fuel injection from another car with similar sized engine. here's the link. http://www.fortunecity.com/silverstone/subaru/1/CIS/

Red Bulbs:
most parts stores will have them; check westbay or autozone. be careful with them, they are higher wattage than the regular white or green ones.

Post TMIC MAF
this is a common thing to do when using either a blow off valve or a front mount intercooler. there is a post in the new USRM section about this. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=64741 i tried this on my subie, but the turbo exploded and a valve got broken before i got to drive it. having the MAF after the BOV allows you to vent it to the atmosphere since no additional air is passing thru the MAF. it wouldn't hurt to try. if you do, post pictures, then document it; a concrete answer on this topic is yet to be proven. on 02+ wrxes, this seems to work well.

Gen 1 ej powered wagon build ** W/pics*
conversly, exhaust will make an impact on the engine. are you planning on running an equal length exhaust manifold? there are $50.00 ones on ebay, sounds great, right? this is a very exciting build for me, i always wanted a high compression subie with open stacks. but, i didn't get to keep my subie very long. anyway, cool build, keep us updated.

+12345 look into a new intake setup, i would go with itb's since you have reground cams and high compression. Opening the intake will gain quite a bit of power with your setup. You can run ITB's with your afm even, but you'll need something to read the new TPS signal.

HElp with HID kit
please post pictures, sounds very interesting.

HElp with HID kit
one thing about HID kit's is that they glare in headlights not designed for HID bulbs. Glare shields can easily be made for the bulb like the one in this link. http://www.elantraxd.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20195 with HID's installed, oncoming motorists should be kept in mind.

Aftermarket Lights / HID Lights / Projection Beam Lights
Question 1: not sure if you mean the entire headlight or just the bulb. I have no idea about the entire thing. The legacy uses a 9004 bulb, where the older imprezas used H4's and now H1's. There are actual projector headlights for your car. http://www.andysautosport.com/subaru/1995_1999_legacy/lights/headlights /dimension_lab/ and these http://www.andysautosport.com/subaru/1995_1999_legacy/lights/headlights/sherman/ Question 2: Absolutely! This sounds like a great project for the weekend. :grin:Upon looking on the web a little, I found a guy who performed this on his toyota camry using E46 BMW projectors. http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=136335 There are other options for getting brighter headlights: 1. kingbobdole is right, fog lights are a simple way to get the light you want. I had a set of foglights on my subie which i found at a u-pull yard, bought new bulbs and wired them in. There was a substantial difference. 2. You could try one of these HID kits. higher numbers in K are blue and purple, the middle 5K-8K is pretty white, and 4K and below are yellowish. 3. You could rewire your headlights to use higher wattage bulbs. The OEM wires are too thin to move that type of current. Hope this helps. Victor

Turbo question
do you plan on venting your wastegate to the atmosphere, or back into the exhaust? keep up the good work, and get better soon.

(Twin)Turbocharging an EA81
two superchargers? the parasitic power loss on this little engine with two superchargers wouldn't be worth it. not modifying the exhaust would only result in less power. twin turbos would be cool, but finding two turbos small enough for the EA81. the turbo from an EA82 would be good for the EA81 by itself, two of them would never spool. do you plan on running a suck thru or blow thru carb?
