Hi guys, sorry this is getting posted here late. Please come check out the meet. Details are here http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthr ... ?t=1877434

It's posted in quite a few big forums and will be a lot of cars there.

Well good news is that I installed the newer style STI struts/springs/tops. I had to modify the top holes on the fronts as they were way off as previously mentioned. The camber is a little jacked up right now but there's room to adjust it to be correct. The rears fit fine other than having to drill ...

there is a big difference between 04 and 05-07.

The 05-07 front struts don't fit.

This is because the front hubs and bearings were upgraded for 05 and everything is bigger.

Really, the only way to get them to fit is to find a set of 04 (or older inverted sti) front struts, and swap everything ...

Thanks guys that was helpful. I followed one of the links posted below and found this one. Exactly what I was looking for, not just need to figure out the diff between the 06 vs 04 strut diff if there is any.

I know this had been discussed here before but I am pressed on time and don't see what I'm looking for with a couple of quick searches.

I have a nearly new set of 2006 STI spring/strunt/mount combo for front and rear that I'm going to put on a 91 Legacy. I remember reading here that some had to ...

What ever you do, don't have the bores machined to Wiseco's recommendation. It WILL be louder than what you will be happy with and may cause issues with your knock sensor. My last motor was bored only to .028 P-W which was considerably tighter than what I was told to use (and warned against LOL ...

"Idle Air Control Valve" - It is just that. It's a valve operated by a duty cycle to achieve a certain RPM for idle and to compensate for high voltage situations and/or air conditioning drag. So if it was bad, then it could cause the situation that he/she is having.

Do you have a CEL on? Possibly an IACV would be my guess. Either a sticking and/or bad IACV.

I don't see how it would be different. Check the FSM that's posted on here to be certain, that or go to a junk yard and give them a few bucks for one.

Bad connection if the fuse is fine. Now tracking it down might be fun.

If yours is a pull type clutch and hydraulic then yes, it would be the same.

I would almost certainly think that you've got a bad (incorrect) reading compression test gauge since all 4 cylinders are similar. These motors AFAIK never read that poorly even with 220k miles.

As far as your missing issues, I would start looking for something in the electrical system. First ...

Thanks I'm checking it out now.

If you have a data logger (doesn't matter which one or even if you have a standalone system is fine) I need a big favor please. And, this really depends if you are able to see the crank trigger and the home trigger (cam). I would like for you to either post it to this thread or PM me with the ...

Glad to hear you fixed it up.

It's by far the best datalogging software available at the moment.

Good to hear.

Concerning the springs - Are the Intrax springs that you are looking at for the Legacy specifically? I've got a set from an 02-03 WRX on my Legacy and the drop for that car is 1.5"(F)/1.3"(R)

The Legacy sits EVEN off the ground front to back but it IS "dumped"! I had to roll the fenders in the ...

Tommio RS,

I wouldn't get too excited. You can try anything you want but running injectors that flow twice as much as what's expected by the ECU is not going to happen.


PhyrraM,

That's awesome man! I would donate BUT I will mod and have a set cleaned and flowed regardless. Please be sure to ...

I'm thinking it looks like it'll bump up to the strut tower and/or firewall? The one I created for a newage WRX/STi (which has more room than these older Legacys) and it was a lot closer to the motor and intake manifold but still not a lot of room.

Turbo? I'd say any of the following that you can get used; MHI 16/18/20G (w/ TDO5H turbine) or VF22/VF23/VF30/VF34 and even a VF39 though you will not get as much out of it.

Greddy eManage is what I'd do in your shoes, either the blue w/ignition or an Ultimate model. They work really well ...

How is your ECU configured?

Wouldn't surprise me if there's a table to adjust timing per the AT model vs MT.

Very cool, but yeah, you're right, Ethanol just doesn't have the volume : BTU of gasoline... A shame we can't get leaded fuel anymore for race nights..... hehe. lead made it some HIGH octane stuff.

And a big bummer we HAVE to run 10% ethanol in our fuel here in Missouri... Now if I could only get ...

Well, thats about what I was getting (11.5 :1) but it was RAGGED.

Timing is whatever the NA ecu was shooting, with about 4-6 degrees pulled.

Its really a moot point at this stage. I obviously had fuel system issues, so all ideas are theorys for now.


Cool, will you try again on E85? Might as ...

Gas AFR.

Was shooting for 11-1 or so. But couldnt get there due to the filter most likely.

You'll be a lot better off at 12:1 using gas AFR. That will greatly extend your fuel injectors too. 11:1 is probably just too rich. How does your timing look? Can you post an image of your timing map and ...

So how many with modded red injectors have flow tested them? I find it hard to believe that they only flow around 550cc. All of the other hacked stock injectors so far have flowed around 700-900cc + depending on what fluid they were tested with.
