February 25, 201313 yr Author That a Perrin DP or what? Seems like it is for the later gens like the 2.5's or newer? A TD04 on an EA82 should be VERY interesting to say the least. no markings, not sure. probly a generic Ebay DP. 3" made for a WRX I believe. once the engine is bolted in I need to measure it out and shorten it for the EA chassis. And Justin, a job eh? that's pretty exciting news
February 25, 201313 yr That a Perrin DP or what? Seems like it is for the later gens like the 2.5's or newer? A TD04 on an EA82 should be VERY interesting to say the least. It's been done a few times. Usually doesn't last long, but it'd be cool if it did!
February 25, 201313 yr Author It's been done a few times. Usually doesn't last long, but it'd be cool if it did! BAH! I disagree. PLUS my TechWorks header is designed for one so no mod, no fuss! ALSO: EVO 8 injectors should keep PLENTY of fuel to offset the more air Edited February 25, 201313 yr by rpholz
February 25, 201313 yr Oh, I'm not saying it won't last! I have just heard others stories. Looking forward to seeing this all put together!
February 26, 201313 yr Author well the engine would of been in the car by now if it weren't for the weather. been looking at jobs/apts for my dad all day.
February 26, 201313 yr Yea, the wife has been a bit homesick and wants to move down there. No leads yet.. still looking that EA is going to sound sick with that WRX exhaust. nice and low growling. any more pictures of the ride? how about this for a blast? -Justin
February 26, 201313 yr Author funny, i can see the pic you posted on my Iphone but not my laptop. ah, oh well. I remember that day. good stuff. always great to meet another subaru enthusiast! on a side note check out how light this battery is! also i did some researching and an Orlando import generally carries EJ20g for right around a grand. thats pretty cheap for a full engine/trans set up however I really want to carry on Will's passion of pushing the EA82
February 26, 201313 yr Author Ahhhhhhhhh snap. Bottom line motor will be completely assembled and in by Monday or I don't deserve this car. Would figure my 2 days off would be filled with rain with none before or after
February 27, 201313 yr Author AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAAAAAAAAAAAAA need to clock the turbo so it will clear the intake. just wanted to get an idea of whats what.
February 28, 201313 yr Author Got around to modifying the turbo, however my pliers don't have enough a$$ to get the clip back in. Ill just take it down to Subaru on Monday and ask real nice someone to do it for me. I have plenty of other things to do between now and then Edited February 28, 201313 yr by rpholz
March 5, 201313 yr Author Slight update: Picked up some WRX wheels so later down the line I can fit WRX brakes and better tire options. Stuffed them under the xt6 only to find out my bushings are GONE so the one ran into the strut, put the smaller wheels back on and am waiting on poly bushings Needed a helicoil kit for one of the exhuast studs. Cheapest place: amazon, so I'm waiting on that Also ordered the 90 degree elbow for the turbo inlet. So all in all I'm just sitting here waiting on parts And I'm broke.
March 10, 201313 yr Author I work Saturdays so not too much done but Most of the wiring has been completed. Fixed the exhaust stud Found out my downpipe runs into the trans crossmember Intercooler mounting and some piping figured out
March 11, 201313 yr Author More wiring done Inter cooler to TB piping done Air filter to turbo done Most of turbo to IC is done but I need to figure out this funky bend Intake officially bolted down Some other stuff I forgot about Spent a good bit of time on my buddy's intake tho....
March 12, 201313 yr Author thats going to be alot of fun. I hope so! I've come up with a list of stuff left, it seems like a lot but not really RX stuffs: Acc belts Bov to IC connector Shifter bushings Driveshaft Exhaust 12v switched for relays Relay to Batt Water temp gauge + sender O2 sensor Fuel pump relay Injector swap PCV piping Oil catch can Coolant (15% then WW+water) Oil (synthetic) Throttle cable Gas tank? 5 lug swap +bushings Block to thermostat coolant line Thermoswitch Fan(s) IC lines/pump+wiring Brake lines Fuses for relays Edited March 19, 201313 yr by rpholz
March 14, 201313 yr Author selling the sti exhuast to my buddy to use on his GC, just too much of a PITA to modify. looking at getting some 2.5" pipe and running it from there, anybody got a pic of they're exhuast running underneath the rear axle rather than over?
March 14, 201313 yr DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WOULD SOOO BUY THAT FROM YOU!!!!!!!!! UUGH.. my wife is laughing at me "see, if we lived in Jacksonville, you could've bought that!" -Justin
March 14, 201313 yr Author Lol! This is true. More reason to move down. Pluuuuuuuus pretty much every Sunday some Subaru or another is getting wrenched on
March 19, 201313 yr Author in the process of swapping injectors, can't seem to find the right o-ring tho... little gauge pod made out of pvc(2bucks compared to 30 for an actual pod) realized the downpipe will never fit, so i cut it in half, ill reshape it as i see fit.
March 25, 201313 yr Author uh, bad couple of days. rain, food poisoning... etc. on the plus side the rain is done, and i just ordered all the buts to make a 3" DP back exhaust system.(i only want to fool with this exhaust once be it with the ea82 or EJxx)
March 31, 201313 yr Author quick update. put a few hours worth of work into it today.... and possible tailpipe.... might go another route but i kind of dig it.
March 31, 201313 yr Author Yes, yes I did. Had a buddy of mine go to Japan last year and bring that back for me.
