Cold air intake installed

Yeah there is no MAF, its a link plus stanalone using map+tps

I've been fixing little things here and there, dirty electrical conmectors plagued me for about a week. It is now running smoothly and just in the colesac I can already feel the response of the lighter flywheel and ported exhaust. Before my cold air intake. Check out my custom rockstar pcv breather/...

What a PITA, you know theres a big box of them sitting somewhere. After calling the local centerforce HQ, They said they had the same problem with the only other legacy SS 5 spd in town when they lost it. That car was a twin of my white SS and kinda a whore being passed from one person to the next. ...

93 legacy SS. swapped my motor in, I was bleeding my clutch when the throwout bearing pulled out of the pressure plate snap ring. I thought it had snapped in just fine until i pushed the clutch hard. I couldn't get it to snap in again. I pulled the motor, clutch and found the circle clip was kinda w...

What a sweet build! I thought mine was gonna be a sleeper. I hope you got a gopro camera to film this insanity at the track. Also want to see a track side video to see how quickly it changes direction. I imagine it will be eating up porshes and just about anything else. BTW, That maserati is pretty ...

I like them, 7 out of 10. they domt have as much travel as stock so over some rough roads are kind of rough and can give you a rollercoaster effect. I think the rally edition ksports may be better but I don't know. In the twisties they absolutely rock. I imagine they'd be great on a track also. offr...

Its a CX racing kit for a GC8 impreza 280$ ebay. Initially I had to cut it up a bit to work, and buy a couple extra couplings, also had to buy a BOV flange adapter for my HKS. I would set aside a week, enough time to order parts if you had to. http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u386/onefastlt/USLIb...

Very nice Rubasu, I was pretty close to doing a wagon myself. I wanted that color also, looks clean. One day I'd like to get a JDM version 7-8 sti/6speed/diff/dccd so I could build the 20g block. I rode in a friends bugeye WRX with one swapped in and the 9200 rpm rev limit was fun. I spent the day r...

Yeah, the AWD fuel tank is in already, forgot to post a pic of it. Crossmember/ diff are in also. I also swapped the vapor seperator. Today Ill be fixing the crossthreaded diferential crossmember nut so I can snug up everything underneath for the rear crossmember. Ill also try to get to rolling the ...

[quote="Legacy777"]Love the skate board lift/moving device :) I did something similar when I did my swap, except with furniture dollies so I could move the donor car out of my garage. As for the fuel separator tank, yes I swapped it over. I would recommend doing it. It doesn't really add m...

Okay, did some inspecting and the AWD fuel tank has fuel vapor seperator that the FWD does not. My question for Legacy777 is did you swap the vapor seperator also? I imagine the AWD tank being odd shaped fuel sloshes a little more but I don't have to pass emissions. So any real danger in not install...

Thanks, spent a lot of time on the door cards too. Yesterday I had a buddy come over and remove the 3 rear windows of each car. They had really nice formula 1 tint job. Today I got the AWD rear crossmember out, it was a little more involved than the front crossmember, I dropped the diff, brakes and ...

Thanks for all the positive feedback, gives me motivation to keep going. It is a lot of work, I know Legacy777 knows how much. I will be keeping an eye out for that 6spd swap. I been watching prices for jdm sti 6spds myself. For now the 5 spd will continue to work with scottys tranny cocktail. I am ...

Not sure if I fixed the sizing, everything apears normal on my computer and photobucket says its proper.

Here goes the FMIC install, this install I was shooting for a little less piping than previous. I suceeded in losing about 18 inches of extra pipe by going where the ABS was and tucking the piping under the headlights. I used about 6- 4" metal cutting wheels by the time it was over. http://i106...

I then installed all the Link Plus Engine management wiring and removed all unnessesary factory wiring. Then ran dual 4 guage power wire to the trunk for the battery. The motor went in like butter, after making sure the clutch fork and throw out bearing were properly positioned. http://i1065.photobu...

To paint the dash I used TSP to clean it and a high pressure washer to spray it off. I let it dry throughly and gave it a light layer of "Bulldog" adhesion promoter, let it dry and gave it another thicker layer. After it dried for 24 hours I gave it 2 cans of SEM interior paint in Pewter g...

I then began by swapping the tinted door windowsin , and ended up swapping all the window felt, window motors and a mirror. This was a long day. Here you can see the ugly side with body damage in the rear. I will be doing the body work and prepping it for paint myself. I will have a decent paint job...

Here goes my 2nd first gen legacy build, this time my goal will be lighter, faster, and less obvious. Here is a list of parts I had on my SS. -JDM Phase 1 EJ20G(new oil pump,water pump, idler bearings,timing belt,camcover gaskets,camseals,mainseals,rubber hoses) -Link Plus Standalone EMS -3" do...

http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u386/onefastlt/USLIberty/P6230077.jpg I am starting this thread a little late in the build, please feel free to post questions, comments or concerns freely. This is my 2nd legacy build with the first 93 SS costing lots of money, blood, sweat and tears. This build...

I was always told the bov should be placed as close to the throttle plate as possible. When the throttle plate closes under boost the charged air is hitting a wall and if that air builds all the way back to the turbo then it can abruptly srop the turbo. The shockewave from the throttle plate needs t...

Sweet thread . My JDM phase 1 EJ20G came AWIC and I traded it for some cash+ a TMIC. Wish I had kept it now because I ended up going FMIC. I think its a great idea, especially if you make the reservoir with an opening big enough to throw a bunch of ice in if you want to.

Here are some pics of my FMIC install, used the IC/piping from my 93 SS. I did it a little different than last time in an effort to shorten the pipe runs. http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u386/onefastlt/USLIberty/IMG_20120607_185448.jpg http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u386/onefastlt/USLIberty...

That's a beautiful SS! Those wheels look great, I'd keep them on. Buy another set, dont trade em, sorry to anyone who wants them but I gotta say that color combo is sweet. Only things I would do is blackout the chrome accents with black tape and reroute the bov back into the intake after the maf. Wh...
