Harbor Freight sells a "Fuel Pump and Vacuum Tester" that is on sale for $9.99 right now. It reads from 30 inches of mercury vacuum and up to 10psi. I mounted mine to the blank spot meant for the air suspension switch and its perfect other than not having a backlight http://i41.tinypic.com...

I have a "rare" transmission and I am curious about it's ratios. It is from a 98RS which had a phase 1 5mt and EJ25D. (The 99 got ej251 and phase 2 5mt). I'd like confirmation of its gear ratios. It's likely to be the same as the five speeds from the 96-98 GT or the 98 Forester (which also...

I may have missed it but which transmission are you using? If you don't want to convert to male axles I have an extra 3.9 female axle LSD I could sell the carrier out of. (its the carrier that decides the axle type and has the LSD) If it helps I swapped an EJ25D into my other first gen legacy and ra...

Here is the boost gauge. I attached it to the air suspension blank with adhesive velcro. Its a perfect location since it's easy to read and doesn't block any other gauges or climate controls Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R8P6Js0gKc http://i41.tinypic.com/148nifk.jpg I rebalanced and rebalanc...

Legacy777 I wasn't sure if you were referring to me but I did try swapping out all three of the items on the strut tower with used ones I got from the junk yard a while back (map sensor, switching solenoid and bcs) For my personal situation switching to 91 octane versus 89 seemed to make it run in h...

I was able to improve the idle. First I adjusted the TPS to be connected at .7 and open at .8 (I didn't have a .9mm feeler). Secondly I had a throttle body from my other car which had not been molested and I measured the depth of the adjustment screw on top. I used an electronic caliper with a depth...

NA or Turbo or both?

Adjusting the TPS is next on my list. Found these scans but is one for turbo and one for NA? I wonder since one of them focuses on connector b56 while the other focuses on b58 with seemingly the same steps. http://www.main.experiencetherave.com/subaru_manual_scans/FSM_Scans/TPS_testing1.jpg http://w...

I know nothing of this product specifically but it is possible to have an electric "supercharger" and here are pictures of one that is known to work - http://i44.tinypic.com/2m4vn2u.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/nnof2e.jpg The second picture really shows how big it is. Thats a Maxima I believ...

I am having a similar problem. No codes are stored and no check engine light. Sometimes it will boost 8+psi but about 80% of the time it maxes out at 5psi. I've replaced a lot of the rubber lines (pcv and vacuum) and I don't believe there are any leaks. I used the diagram here http://www.surrealmira...

Installed a boost gauge today. 9.99 from Harbor freight and it measures up to 10psi. Found that the rear pads were down to 1mm so I replaced them with some nearly new ones I had left over. Replaced the cracked drivers side tail light. Didn't realize these were held in with silicone like material I'm...

I'm having trouble with a hyperactive idle. So far I have - Cleaned IAC valve and installed with new gasket Replaced or sealed hard/broken vacuum lines and pcv piping Replaced leaking coolant line to IAC valve New PCV valve, spark plugs, Removed throttle body to verify adjustment of throttle stop sc...

I was able to get the car for 800. The check engine light was on and if you used more than 10% throttle it would cut all power. I was worried I wouldn't be able to make it home over the mountains. http://i43.tinypic.com/2d6kvgg.jpg The previous owners decided to use 2-3 containers of silicone caulki...

Thanks for the advice. I'll be down in LA again in about 5 days so I'll ask them if I can "recycle" some of their JDM parts

My 91 Legacy was finally at a point that I was happy with no more modifications necessary. It had a full 2.5 liter engine and 4.44 final drive. All it needed were some simple items like new front seats, a new rear tail light and to fix a short in the sunroof.Then this happened- http://i43.tinypic.co...

Who's the mod? I know Uncle Scotty is a maroon.

Stick to Pre 2002, built engine and the conversions forum and it will greatly reduce the number of idiots you have to deal with.

The built engine section has the highest IQ of the entire forum.

thx you guys this is helpful . is its dangerous is this as raise a little over the full on the dip oil stick since the oil pan is bump the level of oil is higher. should i remove some oil? i will look on dealer here for the oil pan is there a gasket that i need with? I run all my cars way over the ...

What slodrive said. I personally vote for an 05-07 "sti" style pan (which is used on many other models)

Phase 1 or 2? What year and model car was it from? Is it assembled? Has it ever been tore down? What happened to the car it was in?

Anything before 1998 from a Legacy/Impreza/SVX

The only possible difference would be in the speedo calibration (though probably not)

I partially stripped a block because I confused 90 degrees with 180 degrees, twice...

Did you squeeze the gasket legacy777? I think it might be thinner when compressed. It supposedly matches the DOHC 2.5 gasket thickness which i measured in post 241 of this thread http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthr ... 27&page=10

The remote oil pressure thing is just a piece of high pressure hose with a male npt on one side and female on the other. If you dont get the remote sensor mount I had an idea for a cheap method. Get a large hose clamp (or many small ones daisy chained) and have it around the sensor and around a near...
