I fashioned a water spray kit yesterday. got a sprayer from a fiero. nice wide spray pattern. hooked it up with an inline pump that I screwed into the top of the washer reservoir. I have a push button on my dash that controlls it. I actually think it does some good!

next time, stab a screwdriver through the filter and use it as a handle to turn it. messy, but it works.

Josh - I can look for one too. I'll give you a shout next time I'm going ot head down toi the pick-apart and see if you still need one.

My engine doesn't burn a drop. it doesn't "leak oil" per se at all either.

HOWEVER it DOES secreat a special "anti-corrosion compound" which coats the underside of the engine to prevent oxidation of the engine components .

digitalpose is fine....... Here are the pics http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/iggintercooler1.jpg http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/iggintercooler2.jpg thanks for hosting them, Josh. I liked them till I can get them up on a free webhosting place. digit...

I used a check valve as a FCD and ran her up to a bar of boost. . very quick. the timing felt like it was off a little, but it was still very quick indeed.

and hte whole "wicked loud" thing is quite nice. it's just my passengers that don't find it as enjoyable .

anyone want to host these pics if they aren't working? digitalpose is dead or something so I tried webshots. but I guess they just suck. I want to show these off, but they aren't working. so that sucks.

of course I have pics :D . I just had to wait a day or so till I could get them onto the computer. so here y'all go: "the money shot" http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/iggintercooler1.jpg a closer look at the goods http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/im...

wow. goddamn. just... wow. can you toss out a full mod list? I saw your comment about Z06's in the other thread, and I'm starting to think about an upgrade ladder now that I finally have an intercooler. so far I've been using boostjunkie's list as a conceptual guide, and I'd love to have your list t...

none of us have ever done this .

my attempts to sell the IC failed. which is alright cause I got motivated to get it to fit onto my car :D. I put together the turbo-ic hose with some intercooler piping bits off a saab 9000. they have tons of aluminum piping and rubber adapters, and I was able to fashion my setup out of the all the ...

You may need to trim about a eighth inch off the part going into the TB,

I got away with only doing that. I trimmed off a little more to make the change in width less sudden.

see the my post in theis forum for the rest of how I did it.

sounds exactly like fuel cut. where's your gauge tapped? depending on the location of the tap for the boost gauge, you might be seeing something different than the MAP is seeing. and yeah, gauges aren't always right on. mine's about .05 MPa off :eek: . and that's genuine subaru parts (wrx boost gauge)

check your coilpack for cracks. if the problem ges worse when it's humid, it could very well be the coilpack. unbolt it fromthe intake manifold and inspect the underside and around the base for any cracking.

I'm going to second the comment about replacing your bosch plugs with NGKs. I had bosch plugs in my legacy, and my engine was misfiring itself to death. I was thinking of all the huge issues that could be cuaseing the weird hesitation. I swaped out the plugs and the problems vanished instantly. I've...

I dig honeycomb grills. but that's jsut me. maybe not on '85 GLs, but definitely on the legacies. and 100% for sure on the new Imprezas and Legacies both.

It was the quasi-slanty headlights going into the honeycomb grill that got me looking. then I saw a few other ques. but I definitely see the contour. oh well.

saw a new saturn wagon on the road today. made me think....

Exhibit A:



Exhibit B:




Some might say saturn is a year or 2 behind in styling.

Yeah, I'd love to give this a shot so long as I could still get readings from the sensor. I have the sensor's green wire tapped at jsut after the first connector upstream. is there another connector I can disconnect?

sorry I didn't see this sooner. if the one in the NA legacies is the same I could have gotten one from teh pick-apart and gotten it to you for the cost of shipping. anyone else need an O2 sensor?

as much as I hate to say it, the best way to inspire yourself to make the engine look as new as possible would be to put it in a newer chassis. you could toss it into a later model GC impreza, or even a newer legacy. cars with blown motors are cheap. just swap it out. having a nice shiny new chassis...

Maybe it's just me, but my engine seems to have a huge power step at 4000 RPMs. It's like I have VTEC or some crap. what up with that shiznit? 4000 doesn't seem to be around any of the power/torque/boost peaks. so what's up with the sudden surge at 4K? am I the only one with this?

I've been through this whole grounding deal quite a bit back on NASIOC.com . it does help, generally. reason being it helps the sensors to "see" better if there's a clear ground voltage to reference against. otherwise there are several transitions the charge has to see thorugh, meaning the...

The first hangar upstream of hte muffler will not fit from a WRX system. you can sawzall it off and forget about it, try to twist it 180* (that's how far off it is), or cut it and weld it on 180* from it's starting position. Fitting the muffler hangers is a little tough but not at all insurmountable...

is the EJ22t just a bored out version of the EJ20G? or is it a different block? and why the HELL did subaru give us (and only us) such a damn fine block if they weren't going to give i tany boost :lol:? Did the EJ20G have oil squirters? anyways, I'd reccommend the EJ22t since ultimately displacement...

I'm pretty sure they were coupled with a TD05-16G, so they are meant to flow pretty well. they're on the smaller side, but they'll fit perfectly.
