so, as luck would have it, i got my hands on a 88 gl-10 with some interesting mods.

 

heres the list:

 

-spider intake ported and port matched to the heads

-ishino headgaskets torqued to 75lbs with anti seize

-flapper mass air meter (its tunable)

-mandrel bent headers all heatwraped

-turbos been heatwraped

-2.5" downpipe heatwraped to a 2.5" turbo muffler

-5 speed D/R 3.90 swaped

-oil changed religiously, mobil 1 20w-50

-jdm legacy AWIC

 

wanna know the most interesting thing about this? it was built 6 years ago!

 

 

 

and a youtube of the first test drive with the IC installed

 

Also. I'd like to set it up for e85 ethenol gas, cause its much cheeper then regular, and it has 110 octane. has this been done?

Don't get it!! Are you surprised it lasted this long with the said mods or surprised these type of mods took place 6yrs ago?

im surprized at the age of the mods.. most of the stuff done to this car is just now being discoverd on the board, it seems.

 

 

The car runs flawless.

where and who did you get the car from?

Yes, Good Question... Maybe from Someone who is here, in USMB?

 

I'll Like to See Pics of your Subie...

 

Kind Regards.

I'm like to redesign the turbo coolant lines. I dont like the fact it dumps hot turbo water into the #3 cil.. i was thinking about dumping it threw the heater core first, and give the #3 the heater core supply.

 

If anyone has a diagram showing what the flow directions are, it would be really helpfull.

I have had the idea of an underhood aux heater core as a mini radiator.

 

The switch to E85 is a bust. Not worth your time. Ethanol has less energy per molecule than gas, therefore, less power and mileage per identical unit of volume. All octane rating is, is the resistance of the fuel to detonation due to compression prior to the ignition event. Higher octane, DOES NOT mean more power. It means you can crank up your compression or boost to add more fuel for more power. On top of that, you will have to remove every rubber component from the fuel system as ethanol eats rubber for breakfast. Everything has to be steel and silicone. Pressure and volume have to be increased to make up for the loss of BTUs in ethanol. You then have the problem of tweeking the system to get the O2 readings correct for the AFR. I don't know of anyone who has figured out how to reprogram old Subie ECUs. And last, once you convert to E85, it's all you can run unless you convert everything back. It takes sophisticated software and hardware to constantly check fuel samples several hundred times per second to know what fuel has been put in it and then adjust timing, injector pulse width, cam timing or EGR and several other factors. Yes, you could do the conversion without hacking the ECU, but all that gains you is lost power and diminished fuel economy. The car just isn't technologically advanced enough to take advantage of the minimal advantages of E85. Because of the lower BTUs, you use more E85, so the lower cost is a wash.

Thank you for your Answer and the Great Pics... I Like your Subie.

Don't you have a Pic of the Whole Car?

Kind Regards.

allright, so ive gotten the air to water intercooler installed, and did a couple test drives for youtube.

 

 

and about the outside pics, its just a white gen 3 wagon.. looks stock.
