calebz, what did you use for the pipe going from the intercooler outlet to the throttle body?

something i've seen more and more lately, has been bike mufflers. not in outrageous sizes, usually 2.25 in and 2.5 out. seen them on a couple integras, one on an FC3S (second gen RX7), and quite a few on the 80's corollas. my brother picked one up for his car for free, bike shops usually give away the stock pipes when people upgrade exhaust. just a thought.

te37 toyota corolla wagon with a K20A from the new honda civics with i-VTEC, potential for 300 NA horse, and sounds amazing.
then get rid of those haggard leaf spring in the rear, weld in a GTS rear end, kaaz 2 way lsd. lower the car a little, but not too much, then get some ronal bears. done, kill people in the corners and on the straight aways. and since its a wagon, you can comfortably seat 5, ie the daughters of the people you just beat.yup.
EDIT: 100th post, MOZLETOV!!!

simple monkey, are you using the wrx coilovers in the rear? and how so?
yes, but i put the coilover sleeve on the top since there were some fitment issues on the bottom.
-
I want to run some cheap coilover suspension setup on my rx for awhile but cant find the cheap coilover conversion on ebay anymore, only the skunk2 kit or the ground control kit...also, could i run the coilover kit on stock RX shocks? it sounds better than to run on GR2s...ive searched around b ut dont fiind alot of clear answers...
i currently am running ground control coil-overs on my stock shocks. i've put about 5000 miles on them with no problems. i use the coilovers for a 02-03 wrx, but i have legacy sturts in the front since i did a five lug conversion. it sits really low, no finger gap in the front, and about 1 finger in the rear, and sometimes going over huge speed bumps or in bad road conditions, it might rub a little in the front. my suggestion is to try the ground controls. i got mine for $50 off of ebay. good luck soldier.

I'd go with a BOV... awesome whooshing sounds and my RX seems to be ok with it:D
i would suggest running a bpv if you have a cat somewhere in your exhaust. when the bov opens, the ecu tells the injectors to dump more fuel in, causing the engine to run rich for a second. unburnt fuel=carbon deposits on the cats, which will over time destory them. IIRC.

rx hatch-> the white lion.

those are some sick headers man, awesome work yet again. we'll need a new forum soon "Boostedballs sick work Forum"

keep up the good work.
-
so what are your plans for your EA82?
-
good find, now post pics.
-
i think we can trust wjm when he says it still sounds like a boxer. the sounds clips i've heard still sound like boxers, just at a higher pitch. also, who cares it the twe header looks complicated and fugly?
function over form.
WJM, thanks for the info on the borla headers, i was just looking for an alternative to the TWE header since i'm sitting at $300 for a header right now. i just wait a little longer then get the twe, sounds like a better deal.

EA82's are single port. i'm interested in your exhaust manifold jumblement. pics?
-
dibs on the first one.
-
has anyone else sent a request to borla for an EA82T header? wouldn't mind a borla header on the rx.

i found these links on nasioc.com

the prices on that first page look a little outrageous to me though....
hope those help.

on www.nasioc.com/ there is a guy with a supercharged legacy wagon named reddevil. he has a pretty good write up on his setup. good luck with the build, sounds interesting.

different kind of fun.

gaping the wires makes you get better gas mileage i think, but doesnt do much for power.

I can go down a mountain at an insane speed.
watch some best motoring, and you will see how the rwd handles curvy roads in the downhill and in the uphill. but i understand what you are saying, a fwd car will handle well if its supposed to be fwd. i bet civics would handle like crap if they were converted to rwd, thats just how they're designed.
there is no real way to prove who is right here, it all has to do with the driver.

depending on diff custom axles shouldn't be necessary. some nissan and subaru differentials are interchangeable, just have to swap the stub axles for the bolt on nissan stubs. those are interchangeable on the diff side so the axle stays with the vehicles.
nissan guys call our (EA series) 3.7 and 3.9 rear diffs R160 and R180, same differentials used in 80's nissans. only the stub axles differ and they are interchangeable. so really you have whatever you want with no axle change. if you want 3.7 or 3.9 get the subaru (or R160/R180 nissan designation of the same box) or the newer soob diffs of higher ratio if you wanted that for some reason. 4.11...4.44...
i guess i learned something today.
maybe this should have a section in the USRM?
-
its about time this topic came up. as far as your drivetrain parts, if you are just using this as a daily driver, a lot of stuff is going to break. the first thing you will want to do is modify your subframe so the differential and other parts dont wiggle around and break. i'm not sure about your diff lasting too long, so i would suggest the diff out of a rwd car such as a nissan or a toyota (reliable and somewhat cheap). over on http://www.kungfutouge.com/ there is a guy who converted his outback wagon to rwd. he's using a nissan differerential. the only problem with that is you have to have custom made axels. hope that helps.

dont suzuki engines bolt in pretty easy? those are easy to find, very reliable, and get pretty good power. i think the engine codes are g10 g13a and g13b, then there is the g16a and g16b which came in the geo tracker. but a long time ago, i thought i read a thread about putting a D series honda engine in a justy. i think that would be your best bet. what ever engine you swap in will be interesting if it isn't stock though, so best of luck.
