The dude abides!!

I have two Legacy's that I swapped TD04's on. Well worth the upgrade. The TD04 will make much more boost up top, the vf11 just falls flat. And surprisingly, the td04 barely has any more lag than a vf11.

Never been a real big fan of the ihi series turbos used on Subaru's... I have owned several ...

Thanks guys!

That looks like a blast.. I have been wanting to go check core out for a while now... is that the same course the CHCA is going to run on? (if you happen to know).. got a few buddies running in the hill climbs so I'll be up there helping in the pits for that.

I think I'm going to take the black Legacy to some local Rally X events...

I stripped most of the interior out etc.

THANKS!!!

Here is an updated pic of it now:



Picked up a TD04 for it.. few other little goodies.... been a great car so far.

Amazing driving... great slow-mo shots. Very good entertainment!

Thanks guys! that was a fun night....

Thanks!

5mt

Yea the paint body looks great, almost want to say it was re-painted... either that or it was well taken care of. Everything on the car still works. Interior spotless etc.

Someone just did t-belt, water pump, belts hoses, clutch etc (I would have rather done it myself and saved money ...

Clean car! much better condition than my black 93 turbo.

Built a new intake for it (into the fender), building a downpipe tonight... may end up doing a td04 / wrx IC like I did on my 93.

In other news, I just took my self built and tuned ...

It it somewhat of a bummer, but you can go beyond the limits of the sensor. Fueling is MAF based, and engine load is calculated from the MAF table (among other things of course)... I don't use any of the factory boost control, which is where the MAP plays it's biggest role. I ran 28psi breifly with ...

Tuning with the stock computer on the WRX. It's amazing how much ability they have "unlocked" now... it's not far from a standalone. Even has LC after adding in a patch in the stock rom. Can't do speed density... and there are some other things lacking, but considering it cost me $90 for the cable ...

Edited up a new video... it has a lot of the same footage from my WRX project but now the second half is all Legacy SS footage... some back road redneck rally

Check it out and tell me what you guys think!

I built a 4" downpipe that tapers back to 3.5" under the car, I used 2 3.5" Dynomax Bullet mufflers and built the rest of the piping.. still pretty loud for two mufflers and of course when the EWG opens it gets silly loud. Thanks btw!



Diesel truck turbos can be fun. I'm seriosuly contemplating a ...

Thank you for the kind replies guys!

I do very much like my 6spd.. actually I love it!

The 07 has the upgraded synchros and different gearing. You can trap in the 117 area still in 4th (depending on redline of course). This could almost be an issue for me where I stand currently though, I should ...

This is my main project, just thought I'd share...

If you could actually get your VF11 to hold 17psi till redline you derserve a cookie... without an EWG or wiring the wastegate shut I'd be surprised to see it happen. (Not to mention it would be a bad idea)

I need the ECU ID to send to the EcoScan people... I opened a support ticket, and was told if I send them this, they can start working on it....

Does Ecoscan show the ID when you connect?, I'll have to plug it in again and see...

I use the 1 way vacuum valve with an mbc to allow the MAP sensor to still read full vacuum and some boost... works very well, very cheap as well...

Do you have a cooler on that tranny? I have found a tranny will survive much longer with a good cooler (not a tube and fin)...

The stock Hitachi ECU (93 SS 5spd)
I don't know much else about this particular ECU, just things I've read on this board etc.

Hoping to get a better idea of how it handles control of the motor via logging....

Yes, lets get that info in this thread for those who have bought the cable/software...

It isn't working correctly for me-

I know the EvoScan software works correctly because I use it to log my WRX, but the numbers it shows me on the SS are way off.

I bought the $60 evoscan cable for use with our obd1, and regardless of what ecu type I chose in the software the numbers are completely ...

I bought the cable for our OBD1 cars to talk with my evoscan software so I will be doing some logging....

Anyone? *BUMP

The amount of timing you can run will increase with RPM (duh).. but will start to increase faster and faster as the motor's VE drops off...

It's fun to throw around different numbers even though it really doesn't mean much.. it does give a ballpark idea...

I am actually curious to see what the ...

Sent off a request to find out if it will work...

Anyone here know?
