Looks like I've got something lined up that will work (thanks Todd).

Thanks

GD

Oh sorry - I'm in Portland, OR. Anything in western OR/WA would be fine. Otherwise shipping may kill the deal. I can get one local for about $500 from the yards but I would prefer to give my money to a member, etc and possibly save a little. I'll edit my post to include location.

Looking for one for a '96 OBW - anything with a 4.111 final drive will work. Early Forester, Impreza 2.5RS... heck I could even make a '90 to '94 work if it was the right price.

Anywhere in western OR/WA I can pickup. Outside of that.... shipping may kill the benefits of not buying from a local ...

Sale Pending.....

I have here a very nice '97 OBW - loved by just one previous owner - an older couple just a few miles from me. Clean, Automatic, 169k, regularly maintained by a local garage, and a clean ...

will any subaru manual trasmision work in my 92 legacy

You have to use a non-turbo transmission or you get into a lot more work swapping over to a hydraulic pedal/MC setup... Anything up to '97 and some '98s will work easily - even the hydraulic non-turbo transmissions can be switched over to ...

I got one frome a USMB member. Thanks to all that looked and offered to help.

I appreciate the offer but I think frieght charges would kill me from VT. It would have to be banded to a pallet and I'm sure the shipping would be more than the tranny is worth leaving little room to negotiate compensation on your end. Plus I would need to source a 4.11 diff locally and that would ...

Where are you located? If you are in OR/WA I could use the tranny if it's good.

I'm in need of an AWD 5 speed for a 96 "L" Sedan. It's a 3.9 car but if you have something else and the price is right or I can get the matching diff then I can work around that.

I already installed one from a 91 Legacy only to find that it's bad as well. So the exhaust mounting differences are ...

And how does one obtain that information?

Cool - who sells them?

You can't buy kits that I'm aware of. You can replace the seals but that's all I've ever seen. The dealer says they aren't serviceable, and so does deadbolt.

GD

There's a lot more to it than that. You can't just throw a bunch of parts together "easily" and make it run like you are asking.

First the VF39 is nearly a wasted effort without swapping out the heads and intake. I'll just say that to get it out of the way. It's too much turbo for the stock heads ...

Efficiency drops off after about 1 bar. The lower the efficiency, the more heat is generated.

Basically the compressor wheel is small - so to push high pressure it has to spin quite fast. Around 130,000 to 160,000 RPM for pressure's above 1.5 bar. The result is high temperatures. This WILL shorten ...

And you did this because? That's a pretty stupid move on any engine, and doubly so on one with forced induction.

GD

The knock sensors are the same - same part number between turbo and non. It should work fine.

Although if you are going to the trouble why use a used component? Do it right with some new shielded com cable.

GD

That would definitely be a huge pain in the teakettle to fit. Go with a 3" straight-through muffler with a removable silencer.

You may laugh if you like, but I have one of these that's been custom fitted to the SS. It's stainless, it sounds great (exactly what you are asking for with ...

Yeah - you probably will want different heads to make that kind of power *easily*.

Proper tuning can do wonders though and forced induction makes a lot of port flow issues a bit less significant. And the more CFM you can flow at low pressure the better (to a point :roll:)

I'm not knocking any of ...

Have a look at my post again:

Someone with a brain was kind enough to include a proper picture of the way they modified the silicone y-pipe, and the information on which one to use.

He also observed that it is wiser to use the 02-05 silicone y ...

Thank you for answering my question and the picture is very helpful.

I do understand the need to search and I've had the IC and the turbo for over 6 months. I've searched and read many, many posts on here and never have I found a direct answer or a picture that addressed the question in a ...

I think a TD05-16g would be better suited to making the power you want. That 14b is sized for a 2.0 running 12 psi and making 210 crank HP. It's going to have a hard time pushing enough CFM to pull you up to 275 wheel HP (over 300 crank HP) on a 2.2.

Doing all that work then finding out you have ...

Yeah - after looking at the compressor map, that actually is a decent sized turbo.

But the extra work in the custom exhaust and external wastegate make it not very attractive. Even at ~$240..... you can get a TD04 or even a TD05 if you shop around for $300 or less that will bolt straight on with ...

is it possible to pick up the dsm turbo and simply mix - match the casting side from the stock turbo i have now ?

No. By "cast-off" I mean a TD04 that someone is getting rid of.

There is nothing useful about that DSM turbo. Look at some pictures of them on ebay or something. They are entirely ...

- how difficult is it to mach up a gasket and mounting brackt for this turbo for the 22T piping ?

VERY difficult. It's not a matter of gaskets - it's a matter of totally custom exhaust flanges. The Mitsi TD turbo's you want are ones made for Subaru's. Ones made for DSM's have the wrong housing ...
