Re: Low cost (ok cheap) ebay exhaust

I forgot to mention, you will need to add 6" or so somewhere in the system to fit the legacys. I usually lenghthened the mid pipe.

Re: Low cost (ok cheap) ebay exhaust

I have owned and installed quite a few eBay exhaust systems and have always been pleased. Deride and I ran them on both our SS legacys and ice raced them several times and really abused them and we never had an issue besides popping the Canon off the hangers.

Re: kimokalihi's 91 SS EJ20 Swap

Re: kimokalihi's 91 SS EJ20 Swap

I've been looking into different turbos quite a bit lately, and I really like the dyno graphs I've seen for a 16g on a 2.5l motor. There are guys making 350whp + with that setup and the power comes on nice and low in the rpm range I am about 90% convinced that when I pull my ej205 and replace it wit...

Re: What gauge battery cable from engine bay to trunk?

Thanks for the pics. Why didn't you run at least equal size ground? I guess as long as the ground wire can handle more than the fuse you should be ok but I wouldn't rely on that. Well a lot of the setups I've seen just run 1 ground to the body in the trunk, so I figured the 4ga grounded 3-4 spots i...

Re: What gauge battery cable from engine bay to trunk?

I ran a 2ga power and 4ga negative when I did my first GT. I used a 50 amp fuse right back by the battery. I also grounded the battery 3-4 places in the.trunk and then 3-4 places in the engine bay. I ran a kicker distribution block in the engine bay, it worked really well, I saved everything from th...

My wife has a 93' Classic that's in storage and I told her years ago when it went in there that I didn't want it to come out because it's smallness scared me.

If I had a turbo heat shield it would be around my 16G preventing my massive heat soak haha.
