Okay, havent posted for a while, got the car all back together to factory state - goes beautifully now that the head gasket and all that carry on is all done. In fact it goes so well and is so nice that my partner decided that she liked it more than her saab and claimed it outright "its too goo...

Well i managed to get the head gaskets for the weekend, have torqued them up and put the heads back together - parts master seem to have confused my tensioner however so I have not been able to put the timing belt back on yet. Had a good look at the heads while I was doing it - there is one bolt in ...

Awesome, thanks for that, im going to go search for that thread. Got all the parts except the head gaskets today (the 1st parts i need dammit!) its OBD 1 for sure, looks like it may be a similar jecs system to what the BC has, same MAF and everything. Have found a few articles where people have fed ...

Sorry if I am spamming the forum - Im in New Zealand so we are 12 hours ahead of the rest of the world- ive just taken some photos for clarity but my son seems to have placed my samsung cable somewhere and my st1000 camera doesnt seem to want to pair with my laptop via bluetooth, japanese engineerin...

Does anyone know if the intake manifold off the turbo will fit the N/A? Im thinking there may be clearance issues with the compressor outlet, but it has a 90 degree bend on it so I think it may clear - but then will the intercooler mount to the N/A intake manifold???

Have had another look at the cars - although the uppipe and down pipe are there, they are totally different from each other - apparenty the turbo does make a difference. The good news is that the uppipe and the downpipe off the turbo car look like they will bolt up to the factory 2.5 headers and exh...

Have looked further, looks like the oil feed is not a big deal, just have to tap the head or take some oil from the oil pressure sender.
Not really sure about the oil pressure sender although, sounds easier but then im not sure if i will get enought flow?
I have the sump with the oil return.

Think slow spool from low revs but the stacks of power once you get that v8 humming with a few pounds of boost. IMHO this would be awesome on a race track or a drag, with the huge resovar of pressure for the compressor it might actually work against lag once you are moving? I guess you would have to...

Hi People. I have a 1996 Outback 2.5 Dohc Legacy (JDM, OBD 1) that I picked up for $800NZD (about $400 USD) it is really tidy but had a blown head gasket (as they do). I also just happen to have a 1991 Legacy GT (JDM, ej20 dohc) that is totally unwarrantable but also happens to have a mint motor and...
