86 Subaru Leone

[Legacy777]

i got this app to shortan the videos and it had a feature so i tried it out lol

Look at you Mr. Fancy video man

So did the app do all of that or did you put that together?

[Legacy777]

the rattle is the twin plate clutch i cant get away from that sound ! it sucks but i need that set up to hold the power to the floor.

I didn't notice a rattle in the videos before, but I'll have to go back and listen. So the rattle is with the Exedy twin disc setup? How does the clutch pedal feel? Is it very stiff?

I've got a package scale and I'm going to try and figure out how much force it takes to depress the clutch scale.....I'd be curious to know how it compares to your setup, since that's what I was leaning towards.

Thanks

Nice vid! I lol'd at the Subaru Technico International

[livestrong14]

Now is just needs the RX sideskirts and rear lip!

[NICO]

Haha that video is awesome. I love the way this little car looks. Can't go wrong with a white car and gold rims and some black trim.

lol first video had no clue what i was doing in that imove app turned out funny haha. ya its looking good i had a gc say style white and black gold it reminds me of it so much but way cooler older an so nimble wow its crazy.

LOL i didnt even know what app i was getting, i had to shorten a video to send those clips to my cousin in italy and switzerland and then i seen a section you cut and paste and add the wording in lol, thats what turned out hahaha.

yep those twin disc rattle when you push the clutch in they all do it sounds like bolts or motor is broken lol... all rally cars at my buddys shop have them and they do the same. for some reason not so loud in my car maybe after i beat it up it will get a little bit more noise.

the pedal feels a pinch stiffer then stock, its like my single disc HD version. i was thini ng hard to drive but its like stock not bad at all.

i dont know how much force it takes i have no scale to do that test wish i did to give you a better idea what where looking at ;( .

Nice vid! I lol'd at the Subaru Technico International

lol ya its like my own technico department and in itlaian thats the real spelling of it haha.

Now is just needs the RX sideskirts and rear lip!

i friging wish i could find those parts also i tried. the lip was like a find of no other thats for sure ! shoot even the car was so much luck !!





so the muffler on the car is really shitty sounding like raspy fart can that is so loud. it makes the car look and sound like garboo !

Franz gave me a link to some mad muffler people that don't F around in this department in building a car ! its not cheap but it sure is for life. these exhaust open up, when it wears out then you buy a new core. its high quality no messing around shit ! o and its light weight good god !! this italian salami weights more then the muffler

my 2x ealr's coolers for my awic system that will be put in once the water reservoir comes in.



and my father made me a nice aluminm battery bracket to make space for the intercooler water tank. battery is on the strut tower wall now like a boss.





maybe a aim cluster ???? (mount it in the glove box) but so i can watch EVERY SINGLE thing going on in the motor section lol right Dov lol.



fits nice if i do get it.

[entirelyturbo]

Do you have inspections to pass?

If not, I say screw the muffler and run a straight pipe.

So you're just using these two coolers as your front exchanger for your intercooler? If so, they may not be enough...

[Dynamic Entry]

Is it OK to use Extra S in the rear VLSD, or does it need to have this LSD oil?

"and the diff fluid is ready to be add"

[Alphius]

The rear VLSD is a sealed unit, so just use Extra-S. No limited slip additive needed.

^^ what he said yes

that stuff is for the STi rear diff special for them.

no more inspection for this car main reason why i did it lol, 1987 is last year for us up here

this new muffler is just insane !! it sounds so good i dont even know how to explain it. its deep its quiet and on the gas its just mean ! need to get a real video clip of this thing. best muffler i ever got !

yes and no, first i will try the two coolers but i have a big water tank coming in that is going in the spot for the battery. if those coolers suck then a/c is coming out and that first set up rad i played with is going in and use those coolers for something else down the road. franz is coming up with week so will see what happens and dyno day is coming with week also.






so 3000kms on new motor no problems only a blown shock easy fix replace one day did it and car drives amazing so far. hit boost a couple times not full tillt but just a bit. full boost in this car = mad ness !! cv shafts is going to snap or tires will light up in a blaze of smoke its scary for sure.

around corners its like something else out of this world, not even my legacy or gc could beat this car around a corner i dont know what it is but its like glued to corners.

dyno day end of the week i hope it goes well.

is this my new wall paper, I think it is!

Very impressive build Nico. I didn't think I could ever think so highly of a Leone.

Don't get rid of the AC. With a big resevoir you may be ok. I'd go with some kind of custom exchanger over pulling the AC out. You could likely figure something out, even if it required ducting and putting dual coolers on either side in the fenderwells.


BTW, Nice pics Nico.

well so far so good with the water box will see tomorrow when we really pound on it ! next year i think i got a better idea to solve this no room problem up front. right now, water tank with two coolers so its looking good.





well water box is in, its so well made its crazy to put it in there but it must.

gave Donny the inch and boom he makes it up fast quick and pressure tested.

Holy crap. Nico, that's a nice tank. He does good work. I'm digging this build thread, keep up the awesome work!

[Legacy777]

Yeah, that is pretty amazing work.....and a good location for that box. I like that location if I ever move the battery. I may try and have a custom tank made to replace the windshield washer tank so I can have a resevoir and keep a small bit for windshield washer fluid. I haven't really needed it, but it can't hurt right

You'll have to keep us posted on what your idea for additional cooling/space constraints are.

thank you and yes its a work of art for sure ! it works amazing to fits perfect.

it works perfect my water intercooler system, i just have to move the coolers to make it great or else its working perfect with the tank in the battery spot.

ya this car has the washer tank in the fender on the other side so its a bonus, maybe the old school tank could work in the new cars ? you never know with subaru lol.


if that set up didnt work i would make a new a/c condenser half the size but thicker and use the other half for a awic rad same size as the a/c one on the other side.





well Franz has come and gone and it was a busy time while he was here. i had a couple problems that i need to fix to make it work right. so i could not get my dyno time


My grocery list !




1... i need to cut vents in the hood because this subaru intake temps are way to hot ! :firedevil:


2... i need to make a safety strap on the drive shaft, also add a little better support on the rear diff so it does not end up on the tarmac !


3.... move my water coolers in a better place



what we have now is a 17psi road tune that to be honest is just crazy to even go to 25psi how fast this car is right now. i am kind of glad i didn't get all the power at once its a tricky car to drive that's for sure.

once i fix the problems then 25psi dyno tune will be done, ill push for the end of the season but no promise its getting late and the car needs to be put away soon.

As far as I'm concerned, you now have the most desirable 80s Subaru in this hemisphere, if not the world.

There are other STi-swapped EA Subarus out there, but none of them look even half as clean, thorough, and tasteful as yours.

You really did an awesome job. I hope I get to see it in person one day.

Every time I look at this thing I fall more and more in love with it.

[FundamentalyConfused]

Nico is going to have to change his sig soon lol.

[Legacy777]

Nico,

What were your intake temps like and why do you need to cut vents in the hood? Intake temps should be a product of the intercooler temps and efficiency of the cooler & exchanger.

And air filter placement.

[evolutionmovement]

But high under hood temperatures can contribute to heat soak, can it not?

thank you, um if your up here at all or if i come down there ever ill bring it by. i'm going to va soon with it to tune.

lol glad you like it it sure is a fun car.

you sir are so right i forgot, my poor legacy is gone !

Nico,

you are very right ! my iat is hitting 60 on the vipec but i got rid of the a/c now and fixed the coolers and got it down 20, but it still needs more for 25psi which i think we are taking care of in this next update. lol dont worry i didnt cut the hood just yet, but if this next step dont work the saw is coming out on the spare race hood ill call it lol.

that is also right but i have no room for it down in the fender with out moving my washer tank.

But high under hood temperatures can contribute to heat soak, can it not?

it sure can ! the hood will get vents if this next step dont work.




so in order to lower my intake temps with out cutting my hood i sacrificed my a/c system .

by getting rid of the a/c system i gained just about 20 degrees off the 60 degree iat temp, out side temp is 20 degree.

i just could not cut the hood with out trying the last step, a massive awic cooler (26x7x2). if this does not cool my intake then i am busting the saw out and going to town on the stock hood or the brand new OEM one i have laying around that i picked up for this problem.




so as of now car runs good at 17psi i am a drifter out of control with awd lol. my gas tank sprung a leak do to the vent line sensor not working should have un plugged it like i did for my legacy ! instead it split it self down the side of the tank like a pop can.

a new OEM subaru one is on its way so i can put more then 10bucks in the car and make my way to see Franz and get it tuned on the dyno by the end of this fall weather.

[FundamentalyConfused]

Not to pry dude but what kind of job do I need to get to afford this kind of project?
30,000 a yr, 40,000/yr, or what. lol

I could so do a project like this if I had the $ for it. I need to win the lottery already!!
