Re: Tyler's Legacy SS.... under an impreza shell
Well, as far as the engine goes, I appear to have gotten it right.
Holy cow did the new heads make a difference. I am not ure if it wa the heads or the tighter quench/ higher compression, but this thing is responsive (even thought its still a tad rich) with really good midrange, and man does the exhaust note snarl!!!

Grant Hughes of No Coast Motorsport/Colorado Rally Group. That picture is definitely an optical illusion. I have already spoken with MIke Hurst at Rally America and I have my log book in hand.beatersubi wrote:Who did your cage? The windshield bar looks like its bent the wrong direction.
I have started installing new suspension arms. For the time being I have 07 Sti front arms and TSS Fab's Chromoly rear arms to widen the track. As soon as Tss finishes the front arms they will go on there too.
I also am going to try out the Enduring Solutions Ltd daughterboard for the factory Ej20g ecus. It uses the factory functions of boost and knock control, but able to tune real time like the newer ecus and stand alones.

Re: Tyler's Legacy SS.... under an impreza shell
Added some plating to support the struts
Some welding work completed tonight.
And a little painting after
Ordered a floor mounted pedal box with dual master cylinders and a hydraulic handbrake this week. Should all arrive at the same time as some schroth 6pt harnesses. Getting closer, and really trying to have this ready for the national challenge rally cross in Colorado next month and a hill climb there one week later.

New front diff courtesy of Guard transmission. This thing is gorgeous there really is no comparison with the previous thing I was using.

Tyler's Legacy SS.... under an impreza shell
Where to start...
I am still working, my bike shop salary doesn't lend itself to dropping giant piles of money to get this thing finished all at once. But progress has been coming along almost nightly at this point. I will do a few events this year dang it!
triangulation and rear strut tower support
another supporting bar from the main hoop to the rear towers
New pedal box with dual brake master cylinders and the mount I made
battery mount behind my seat
this is where the hydraulic handbrake will reside, currently building the mount for it
finished seam welding the wheel wells and covered them with epoxy coating
and here are the JVAB struts that are going in but aren't in my hands yet (these are a friend that received his be fore I did)

Quick update on what I have been up to.
Fabricated a handbrake mount
Painted interior
Last night I started to rerun the wiring.
Working a lot into late hours, I consider it practice for the baby that's on the way.
Also ran into a snag with the factory heater box no longer fitting so I have devised a solution of something like this http://www.jjcraceandrally.com/rally/el ... ght-heater
Any day now on the struts and I can take it down for a tune!

Re: Tyler's Legacy SS.... under an impreza shell
That's not a bad option for a heater box replacement since it has its own fan in there. You'd just have to pipe it up to the existing ductwork.
True that My brother & sister-in-law just had their first baby this past Saturday. She's pretty exhausted with feeding every 2-1/2 hrs.Working a lot into late hours, I consider it practice for the baby that's on the way.

Re: Tyler's Legacy SS.... under an impreza shell
Car is up and running!
I am currently running the car on the stock tune in the ESL board which I believe is the stock "Z4" tune from an ej20G wrx, but it is rescaled for the newer yellow STi injectors. THis car is a riot! I can't believe how utterly slow my wifes wrx feels in comparison.
The non assisted brakes are really interesting, scary at first but I really like them now. You get exactly as much braking as the effort you put in.
Matt/Guard Transmission diff is very neat. Noticibly more responsive than the OBX unit i used before. My very first drive covered surfaces of tarmac, gravel, and snow in a little over an hour (gotta love Wyoming weather).
Already finding some changes I need to make. With the pedals being closer I had to move the seat back, but there isn't enough adjustment in the mounts so I need new seat mounts. Also because I had to move my seat back, the steering wheel is a full arms reach away so I ordered a steering wheel spacer for it this morning. It should bring the wheel about 3" closer which should be enough. With it that much closer I think a quick release may really help ingress/ergress as well.
Still need to get a restrictor for the turbo. Because I am using a Group N turbo finding a 33mm restrictor is easier than a 34mm which will loose me a bit of power but my feeling is I will still have plenty of power and I need to learn to make the most of it, especially just jumping up from an open light car. I am debating putting off getting a tune until i have the restrictor for my wallets sake. But it would be fun to see what it will do without the restrictor...
Will post more pictures and info soon.

Re: Tyler's Legacy SS.... under an impreza shell
Here is a teaser from our first event. http://youtu.be/HUgxMGngaiI
Car is amazing! Without a full tune we were down on power from everyone in our class and we still took fourth! I am sure that is in no small part helped by the Guard Transmission front diff which kept the front stable and took the car wherever I pointed it. Now we just need to tighten up the rear a bit and fine tune a few things like brakes and cooling and we will be set!
