'93 SS, 4eat. 150k miles. Backing into a space at the softball field Friday night and lost reverse. We took it to the shop and started a few diagnostics this evening. No abnormal bits in the pan. we hooked up the pressure gauge to the Reverse servo pressure test-point. Only pushed around 24psi when ...

You got my vote... awesome car, awesome mods.

I was using brake torque to get those times, and like was mentioned previously, doing that at a higher boost will most likely end up with broken parts.

I'll get in on this post... http://www.myspace.com/mattxt I'll be hitting the quarter century in a couple weeks, over the hill compared to these youngsters! lol. Its private, if you want just send an add request.

I ran 15.7 @ 85, bone stock in my auto (besides the 45* airbox + coffee mod). That is at Lebanon Valley Dragway (~Albany, NY). I would say that with those psi and opened intake and exhaust, it'll be close to that initial number stated. Hopefully you get that issue worked out and hit the strip soon.

that number sounds pretty reasonable to me. Is Englishtown open already?

Here's my deal: I happen to like autos. I grew up at the dragway and 95% of legit drag cars use autos. I plan on running my car, as I have done with all my other ones. I like the launch and consistancy of an auto. ( "if you wanted a drag car, you shouldnt have bought a subaru" - I love subarus and a ...

I'm not necessarily looking for extra horsepower, per se. I'm more interested in a quicker response from the engine. I've spent a decent amount of money on parts to get some additional HP, I'm looking for something that will be a good complement to those parts.

I'm a tree hugger by no means, but its good to see positive news about Subaru.

same thing happened to my ex... I was in another room and I hear this god aweful sound so I ran in to see what the deal was. I'm actually surprised that there were pieces of it that large remaining, the one she busted basically desintigrated.

Brat,
I was actually expecting more "no's" on this topic. Your comments are duely noted.

I appreciate the input. When I get out of work, I'll dig around this site to see what brands people are using. Any quick suggestions on who makes a quality one, and possibly who to stay away from? Money isnt really a big deal, I'm trying to not cut any corners on this project of mine.

(its an auto)

What are your thoughts on putting a lightweight crank pulley onto a stock EJ22t? (not underdriven) My concern is that by having stock internals, as opposed to balanced, I might run the risk of damping issues.

Thoughts? Experiences?

Thanks

Looks like Rick beat me to it. I rigged up a 5th injector on my XT using a Hobbs pressure switch and a relay. Your idea would use the same setup, but just have a sprayer system instead of an injector. The Hobbs switch is fully adjustable, I had mine set to kick on the injector at like 12psi... it ...

I put a diamond on mine, with the stock igniter. no problems.

Im pretty much hammered, but that is hilarious.

I would say no, not at all. From what I know, underoath is kind of emo / sing songy. Since The Flood is more of a straight hardcore style. Think Hatebreed, Bury Your Dead, and Full Blown Chaos as similar styles.

I'll get in on this post

Since The Flood - 24k

They're a pretty sick hardcore/metalcore band out of the Boston area. Kind of along the same vein as Hatebreed.

The scoop is there to direct air over the turbo for the sake of cooling it. If you look, you'll see that there is some metal work inside of the scoop which aims the air a 'heat shield' that goes around the turbo, that is called the chimney.

because our cars didnt come with intercoolers, the only ...

PM me if you still need them, I'm pretty sure there is a set on one of the parts cars at my pops' shop.

+1 added to his defense. he hooked me up when i needed some random parts.

You Guys with FMICs. What kind of intake setup are you using? My charge pipes will sit where the stock intake goes, so I'll need to fab up a new intake setup. Pics/Links would be appreciated.

Im assuming I'll just go with a good cone filter and just find a spot to stick it. I'm looking to see if ...

It is my understanding that the intake resonator is there mainly for noise reduction. Search the "coffee cup mod" and you will find a ton of information on that topic. I went a slightly different route on my car, and used a '98 Legacy GT air box, which has its outlet at a 45* angle instead of a 90 ...

We removed the ABS unit from my car when I got it. The unit was leaking and between not wanting to replace it and not wanting it in the first place, we pulled it. Replumbing wasnt that complicated, just put some T fittings in. I'll check and see if i have any photos when i get home (late tonight, if ...
