BACK FROM THE DEAD!! I was randomly google searching my name for a thread in nabsico OT when I came across this old thread. I have a good bit of info that might come in handy. www.smallcar.com puts out a shift kit for the SVX that's basically a pressure operated switch which cuts the resistor in que...

The 92 and 93 models were speed limited by teh CPU based on RPMs, and the later models were limited by the CPU based on vehicle speed. I guess they figured ~154mph was a little quick, and decided to cut the speed off before the rev limiter :lol: :D . hmm... could have just quoted cars101.com : "...

Finally got another Subaru

Figured I'd share the love here too. So glad to be behind the wheel of another Scooby. I picked up a red '94 SVX LSi on Ebay. just so happened that this guy was local to me, and had exactly what I'd been looking for for about 2 years now. I've been on the hunt for a local SVX in very good mechanical...

junkie, just looking at your grocery list of mods, I know your car must be pretty damn quick. I was modeling my mod ladder after yours when I had my legacy. I honestly think that stock for stock you're at least as quick as a forester XT. and you still have a LOT of room to mod :D

I kinda doubt it's the rear main too. I've never heard of one going in a suby as far as I can remember. which is why I was so speculative on how it would manifest itself. It's my best guess given the way she's describing it :oops: . certainly worth checking tho. a slow rear main leak in an auto is *...

hmm.. rear main seal? check where the engine meets the tranny. look through the little window where you can see the torque converter. I'm pretty sure if there's oil on it that would be your rear main seal. I dunno... never seen a rear main seal leak firsthand but I imagine some oil would end up on t...

I feel I should point out that subafreak is currently running a plain ol' EJ22 with a turbo from an EJ22T in his Loyale. I think he's even still using stock EJ22 engine management, too. no kidding? props to him. People who soup up the old EA series subies are kickass in my book. that thing must scr...

The NA EJ22 doesn't respond well to turbocharging. you can't expect much of a gain unless you put some time, money, and a lot of effort into it. in all honesty, dropping an EJ22t into it will be cheaper and easier than turbo'ing it. just out of curiosity, what is your past turbocharging experience i...

THAWA has it right. auto is 50/50 in 1st and starts to change over in second. it's 90/10 through 3rd and 4th. but it'll snap righ tback to 50/50 if it detects slip. MT is 55/45 f/r in all gears the 4EAT has a much more sophisticated AWD system. acts faster, compensates better. the MT is basically tr...

See my comment in your other thread in the electrical forum. I think your problem may be your TPS. It's a quick check, and at least you can scratch it off your list of likely suspects if it's not broken.

Hey man, why not check your TPS just for kicks? if it's screwy, that may be your problem. the computer does indeed calculate timing and fuel delivery based on TPS inputs. TPS is VERY important. prolly more so than the o2 sensor. just give it a check. should be a simple test with a voltmeter. if it's...

I'm pretty sure that's what we're getting. they may get us an STi model, but even the forester engine is a wonderful platform to begin with. seriously, getting it to 250 is CAKE.

YEah, I meant those alloys on the XT turbo. That's just what popped in my head when you said "XT6 rims." cause I didn't bother to put 2 and 2 together. Math. bleh.

but yeah. those XT6 rims look nice. it's a good alternative to WRX rims or RS rims.
