Actually, you probably do. A lot of the STi guys on nasioc are probably getting rid of them.

I wonder if Vikash is using my old wheel? I thought it looked pretty good for the price... it was a Grant unit.

You mentioned the ecu's chipped. 1. I wasn't aware that there were chips available for the 91-94 turbos. 2. What are the parameters of the chip? You can't necessarily make a claim that the injectors don't run with the stock ecu if your ecu's chipped. 3. How are you going to change the throttle setti...

I don't know about you, Jason, but I haven't ever walked up to a girl, stone sober, and said "your hot" to her face, and look her up and down. *shudder* Whatever his lifestyle is, that's cool and I can respect that. But I would appreciate it if he would have respected MY lifestyle and avo...

yes, it's all VERY uncomfortable when you're confronted with it. It's like you wanna run, scream, and take a shower, but you don't wanna hurt their feelings either, so you smile, and laugh it off. Later, you vomit and drink 'til you can repress the memory. *shiver* I know the feeling. However, it d...

Geez, back when I had the car the 16g was a rareity. Nowadays, you'd think the car came stock with it!!

Good to know everyone is getting one... wish I had a turbo

Yeah I've been. The times I've been were when big name dj's were in town, they played at the club. There were quite a few hetereo people in there as well. But yeah....usually there's straight girls that go with their gay guy friends, or they just want to do a girls night out and go dancing. Gay clu...

I've heard of this happening before. Besides causing the brain-water-logging, you could also suffocate from the excess water being expelled through the lung capillaries, preventing the intake of oxygen.

Quite horrific if you think about it.

While we're on the topic of larger housings... does it REALLY make that much difference to locate the sensor dead-center within the housing? I've been told yes, but I'm having trouble figuring out how the reading would be altered from locating it slightly off the center.

So big injectors + 100% IDC = trouble. It's not like running lean which is *flash*"danger to engine"*flash*. hehe. It will probably make your idle a little weird and partial throttle performance will probably suffer a little too. If you're running at WOT on high boost it will be sweet tho...

Don't listen to Phil :P Once you start running a 14:1 CR it will be imperative for you to run race gas. I don't know of anyone that has that kinda compression and is on pump gas. Secondly, to build a normally aspirated beast you'll need either: 1. displacement - that's not happening on a subaru 2. r...

There was only ONE successful LHD twin turbo project that I know of. It was done by some guy in the Philippines, or something like that. My thoughts are that it's just too much time/effort for the net gains. And afterwards you'll have to deal with the "valley of death", especially when you...

I tapped mine into the vaccum line from the resonator box on the intake to the manifold. Just t into that line.

Is it a harness that you ended up jiggling to get the codes to disappear? The same thing used to happen to my car back in the day. It would be so finicky that when it rained I would have to jiggle some more wires. Try to trace the wires back to their respective connectors and see if the connectors a...

IIRC, the auto ludes had sh!tty gearing. Might be the reason. Your turbo has a much better powerband, despite the auto. Good kill.

Picked up one of these from Home Depot: http://i19.ebayimg.com/01/i/03/2f/51/e2_1_b.JPG It's an oil/water separator for a compressor. Has a blocked inlet/outlet (unlike the Ebay oil catch tanks that have a passage straight through the unit). It's a small size so mounting it in this cramped engine ba...

Also, which plugs did you use?

Please don't say Boschs...

Also, how many miles are on your car? Might be time to change the alternator out anyways.

If you have a voltmeter see how much voltage your battery/alternator is putting out at idle. It should be in the vacinity of 14V. Less than that and your alternator is probably on its way out.

Completely normal. And you'll have plenty of power to go around without a sub. If you had a sub, you might want to add a stiffening capacitor which helps keep the sub amp from beating up on the alternator by asking for really fast & high loads. Capacitors are band aids for insuficient alternato...

It won't get "rally car loud" with the stock piping. If you want rally loud, and don't care about performance, then just run a 3" straight pipe, and one of those little "woosh" things that they sell so it sounds like you have a turbo. Greg - Stock is only 2"? Stock for...

Are all the leads to the coils properly connected? Make sure all of the connections are tight and try changing out your plugs, or at least regapping them.

Professor - I know lots of 2.5 RS-T guys out there, that have been doing it for a while. And apparently, the phase 2 SOHC 2.5's have less frequent headgasket issues. Unfortunately, the 99s are the phase 1s. I don't buy that BS about a phase 1.5 design either. Cobb even admitted that the phase 1 and...

You're gonna need the read diff and possibly the rear axles, depending on whether you have an open or closed diff. I believe the closed diff axles are different than the open diff axles.

Congrats!

I am a little saddened that the old car will not be restored, but alas, it was for the best. Make sure you don't blow this engine up! LOL! j/k!
