I don't think i phrased my question exactly how I wanted it answered. Still talking about the WRX conversion, the only thing the RS boys have to do is buy the bigger rotors and the bracket that the calipers mount to. I was wondering how much different our calipers are from the RS. If they are simila...

How different are our calipers with the 2.5rs's? I hear all they have to do is get the rotors and the brackets.

I've been roasted by a newer Z28 at a 60 mph roll on. I was at 10psi, but I doubt it would have been much different at 15.

On a trip to Cincinnati from Columbus, I saw some Xenon headlights coming up pretty fast in my rear view. I get over and let him come up beside me. It was a 2nd gen eclipse GS-T. We made several pulls from 80. I easily pulled away each time. Out of no where, an Audi 1.8T tried to compete...no contes...

Couldn't you just unscrew the gas cap to relieve pressure?

I really like the way my BOV sounds when i run open atmosphere(OA), but my car runs like crap. I checked the 02 sensor voltages OA and closed. When running OA, I actually ran leaner at WOT, at about .82 - .83 volts, but when i let off the gas, it stayed up around .6 - .7 The car felt like it wanted ...

(MON + RON) / 2 = AKI?

I think i remember seeing that on pumps. Is the higher MON or RON # better? For either, is there a way to tell what combination different gas stations use?

When I go autocrossing, there is usually a chick driving miss daisy in her toyota matrix. I don't think your legacy will be out of place.

Yes...Wrx front brakes, caliper and rotor, on a legacy turbo. I wasn't sure if I needed anything other than the caliper and the rotor, and of course, 16" wheels.

Is there a write-up out there on the parts needed and the installation procedure?

I'm pretty sure it's the small 16g. It came off the early wrx. I wanted to turn the boost up some more and make another run, but I was a little timid in doing so because I don't have an EGT or A/F gauge to see where I'm at on fuel. Once I get a S-AFC hooked up, which is sitting in my room right now,...

That might look kind of funny, but it does give me an idea. I'm wondering if I could make a temporary setup just like that for track days. It's a wicked idea, I'll give you that.

I have the EJ22T. I've been experimenting with more boost and it acts like it will handle it. After many runs with 17psi, I didn't hear any kind of knock or ping and my intercooler was as cool as can be. I don't have any guages to measure a/f ratios and gas temps though, so I'm not going to keep it ...

was about 85 degrees fahrenheit and I had a boost leak.

If the check valve is bleeding off boost so that the solenoid doesn't engage fuel cut, you are releasing air that the MAF has already accounted for. The MAF proportions the fuel according to the air it reads. If you are loosing some air, but still getting the same amount of fuel, wouldn't that be th...

Yep, 300 bucks.

I have a couple spare turbos on hand

I never thought about the tip not fitting. I bought the muffler off of my cousin for $40. I think it was on a galant vr4 before he sold it to me. I hope it fits.

I have the Saab 900 intercooler on it. I've been having problems with the intercooler setup. I'm 90% sure there is major leakage. I'm not really sure where exactly though. I'm hoping to get my exhaust done next week. I am getting 2.5" all the way back with a magnaflow straight through muffler. ...

I knew that this turbo was going to be a little laggy before I put it in, but I also knew that it would make up for it up top. It is in fact very laggy on the bottom with my stock setup, but has a very noticable top end increase. Before, I was running 2.1s 60', now it's more like 2.2s low 2.3s. Mayb...

That's our legacy for ya. The DIY car.

When I drive my turbo a lot and then switch to my NA, I nearly break my neck at the first couple stops. I'd like the break pedal to be as stiff on the turbo. I just thought it was because of the ABS.

Will the GR2's alone prevent body roll?

Does it happen every time or only when the car is cold?

When the car has been sitting, the oil likes to drain from the torque convertor causing that.
