October 26, 200718 yr no longer will I be the guy with the cool white wagon. However More to come soon - maybe even with a real camera.
October 26, 200718 yr no longer will I be the guy with the cool white wagon. For the record, you were never "the cool guy". -Brian
October 26, 200718 yr Author Yeah what happend?BTW nice GL-10 turbo. Gotta see more pics!! There are more pics - but they're all of a white wagon. There is a lot in the works right now. This will probably be my last EA82T - So I'm going to make the best of it and put together the best budget hotrod subaru ever! (Those that have been paying attention the past 4-5 years know this has been my direction since the beginning)
October 26, 200718 yr Author For the record, you were never "the cool guy". -Brian My wife is in sacramento right now. Don't make me send her over there to kick your butt
October 26, 200718 yr Author Question: Are the EA82T's better then the EA82's?? Depends on your definition of better Since I don't have to rely on it and drive it every day, a modded EA82T is better for my needs.
October 26, 200718 yr Well i know the EA82 is a little more reliable then the turbo. But i ment like i guess funner to drive.
October 26, 200718 yr Author But i ment like i guess funner to drive. Turbo will always beat out a NA equivalent for fun factor. Especially when something like this gets thrown in the mix.
October 26, 200718 yr Author Yeah i guess it was a stupid question.. Is yours a 5spd? It wasn't always, but it is now.
October 26, 200718 yr Author Huh, How was it as a 3-auto? Dunno - first thing I did was fix that problem. Never driven this one with an auto. My last one was fwd auto ea82T - it was ok. Nothing like this one though. Then again, the first one was stock. This is anything but stock.
October 26, 200718 yr Yeah the 3-auto is ok.. I think the car could use a passing gear though. But i like it.. What do you have difrent on yours?
October 26, 200718 yr Author What do you have difrent on yours? Oh boy - Current mod list: Hood Scoop RX Aero Kit RX Grill TWM Shift knob on slightly shortened shift rod. 2.5 inch custom turbo back exhaust Dynomax high flow muffler Boost and temp guages mounted in A pillar Blitz DCII Turbo Timer WRX Wheels 350/450 Height Adjustable Coilovers XT6 - 5 lug swap High compression Turbo motor TD04 Turbo WRX TMIC Volvo cold start 5th injector on hobbs switch 3AT P/T 4WD to FT4WD 5spd/difflock swap 2 core radiator 20mm Front and Rear Sway Bars Carbon Steel head bolt inserts Had it running perfectly just before I blew it up last time Stock WRX stood no chance - on a track, of course. I'm sure I'm missing a few things on that list Whatever it is that I am now putting together, it will have all that stuff with a few additions. WRX front struts (Here) Miata rear struts (Gotta get 'em) TD05H 16G Turbo (On its way) Spider Intake (Here) 280ZX injectors (Here) 43PSI FPR (Upgraded from 36PSI) Here) APEXi S-AFC Intake to be relocated to the fenderwell That will be enough to get it running stably. At that point I can put it on a wideband and see whats what and what will need to change. I don't really care too much about how much power it will make. It will make enough to be fun, I'm sure. I just want to ensure that it does it smoothly and safely (as safe as such a motor can be anyway). Somewhere after I get it back on the road, I will be doing a bunch of bushings, shifter mods and get the interior squared away - either well reconditioned and cleaned, or removed for weight savings. Oh - and once the RE92s are worn away, I need to get some slightly lower profile tires on there so I can crank the suspension down another inch or so.

Wow that must have been awesome seeing that thing go down the track against a WRX.. Yeah i'd like to see it when it's all done. I like the WRX wheels and a 5 lug convertion is nice.. Good luck with it bro.... -Tom
October 26, 200718 yr Author What did you do? I have made a few changes Project will resurface in more viewable condition over the next couple months.
October 26, 200718 yr Looks like you just painted the ole white one black Good color choice btw Thats what I was thinking! Caleb, just because you paint it doesn't make you cool. Thats like if Brian said he painted his brake calipers on his old hatchback... doesn't make him any cooler! Yes I know, cause she's already here. However, kicking is not what she is doing to my butt :lol:
October 26, 200718 yr Turbo will always beat out a NA equivalent for fun factor. Especially when something like this gets thrown in the mix. Hey, I'm boxing it up as fast as I can! I'm only one man you slave driver! J/K That is what the turbo looks like, just not as pretty. I will try to clean it up a bit before I send it out. I hope this one gives you the performance that you are looking for. One day, I hope to come down and see that thing again in person, and might I add, the gloss black looks super sleek. Good Job! -Patrick

Our conversation the other day was really the catalyst for me to get back on this. Don;t hurt yourself being in too much of a hurry to get that thing out. I will likely be out here dinking around with it all winter. The only deadline I had was for earlier this month for a rally-x, and I already missed that PS - don't worry too much about cleaning it up. A dirty turbo will give me the excuse I need to fill the parts washer back up :-p
