Was this car at super rupair a couple days ago?

I did do away with the power steering and the a/c a couple years ago. I like it better that way although there are some days i wish i had cool air. The car runs like a champ now, for the first time in a long time, there's no oil drops anywhere and no smoke of anykind. The pistons are audible on star...

Well I was in Europe for the last month and a half so progress on the car was slow. I finished rebuilding the turbo and fabricating parts to make everything work. Today I put the turbo on the engine and the engine in the car...first go it cranked for a while but wouldnt start. Switched the plug wire...

the radiator is a different size and it's good to have the expansion tank because it has all the plumbing to the turbo and what not. I ran a n/a radiator for a couple months when the sidetank blew out of the turbo radiator.

sounds like what i did, the washers broke free so i put bolts and nuts in there. but you can get a wrench or screwdriver on them to keep em from moving.

they don't kick on and off like they do when you have the diagnostic plugs connected do they?

it's a metallic texture paint it didn't have an exact name on it.

They're painted and its a charcoal color but i'll look up the name next time i'm home. here are some pics of the turbo rebuild. Need to drill some broken bolts out of the exhaust housing. The surclips that hold the bushings inside were a real pain in the butt to take out and put back in. http://img4...

You may save yourself a lot of money by getting the o-rings at a hardware store. They should have oil resistant ones.

Last time i checked when you remove it, it's not connected to the car anymore. You kinda need it off to clean it well.

Sweet progject by the way.

The news said the mexican toddler was here for treatment when he died.

They did say they think they found patient 0 in a small town in veracruz mexico a few days ago. In other notes, a couple kids at my school apparently came down with it.

If the IAC is getting stuck, you might run some brake cleaner through it.

yep still in boulder. Hopefully once school gets out i'll have a chance to put my other engine in. The one now had the stud holding the exhaust manifold up strip out so it sounds awful.

so how did it go? I had to work all day yesterday.

most of the colorado subaru owners hang out at awdpirates.net. There's only a few of us that have the old school legacy's.

glad the rtv worked for you, that teflon tape really isnt worth crap. I think it's illegal to use it on gas line now. hopefully i'll get to check out your car sometime.

where did you get the assembly for the back of the head with the coolant and oil feed?

If it's leaking around the threads, i like to put silicone on them then screw it in. I think this helps give it a little flexibility and a good seal. Your setup sounds a lot like the one i have in my garage except for the turbo. I still have the 50 trim.

geez I thought the CUSCC died after the second generation of members since noone had time to organize meets anymore.

i bought some microphone wire from radioshack and rewired the whole thing. Works good.

yeah, i think the bearings are a little expensive and I got my CP pistons for 100 dollars less, but i got a pretty good deal on them from MCS motorsports off nasioc. Took forever for CP to make them custom to my setup tho.

I played with some woman in a 760li with the v12 a couple years ago. I don't think she was thrilled that my poor legacy was sticking it to her 100k dollar car.

that's mature of you to apologize, now i'm gonna have to go look for that other thread to catch up on it.

meh, shit happens...
