Re: Impreza -OB / RS- Hood Scoop install - no cutting requir

^ That's what I was going to look for. I got the scoop on, but like everything else I add to my car it fought me. I ran out of day light so I'll have to wait until morning to snap a picture of the final result.

Re: Impreza -OB / RS- Hood Scoop install - no cutting requir

I picked up a scoop from RS25.com as well and it'll be delivered today. After I make a quick run to Lowes for Speed Nuts and some peel & stick foam strips, I'll post some photos of how it turned out. I may also cover the section of the hood that sits under the scoop with some flat black vinyl I ...

Re: EJ20G "RobTune" Info

I'm sure having different heads (more CFM flow) and the unrestricted exhaust would bump those numbers up a fair amount. I know that my full 3" catless turbo back exhaust makes a world of difference for allowing the turbo to breathe out. Not much you can do about the 90* turbo inlet though. Eith...

Re: Maciek's 2.35L Turbo Build (Update CAR IS RUNNING!!!)

This is a great read through on the entire build. You've managed to answer a LOT of questions I had heading towards a build like this. I'll be doing a nearly identical build, but I'll be incorporating a full dash/HVAC/wiring swap into my '92 LSS from a donor '02 WRX I purchased. I'm in the plotting ...

Re: EJ20G "RobTune" Info

If I can stop spending money on my LSS in other places and soon to be taking on a daily driver WRX wagon rebuild project, I might actually get my JDM ECU sent off to Rob to be chipped. Having this thread light up with posts lately makes me want to get this swap done sooner than later!!! Looks like i...

Re: Grounding Mod FTW! (Inexpensively too)

If you ran positive voltage wires to the engine block, you'd cause a dead short to the battery and the results would NOT be pretty at all!

Re: Custom Grille v3.0

Scuff the backside with a 40-80 grit sand paper and sandwich the mesh into a layer of Bondo. That is a technique that has been used on aftermarket bumpers for many years. I've done that in the past on several projects with good success.

Where did you get the gauge hoods? I would like to get one for my autometer boost gauge so I don't see the glare on the windowshield at night.

Thanks!! Where did you get the gauge hoods? The hoods come with the Premium Series gauges from ProSport. They DEFINITELY are a must! Not sure if they sell them individually or not. Never looked into that. BTW, what's the silve button for above the radio? The button is a remote trigger for the Go Fas...

Re: Custom triple gauge install w/ pics

Thanks! I get very particular about things being tidy and clean looking for custom installs. I guess it comes with the territory of working in the custom car audio industry for so long. Of course having all the right tools to do proper work doesn't hurt either. 8)

I've been looking for the good old stand by of aluminum gutter guard but everywhere I look (Lowes, Home Depot, True Value, Ace, etc.) they only sell the nylon crap. Guess I'll be utilizing the garbage can mod as well. :?

Custom triple gauge install w/ pics

After having 3 gauges (oil press. / oil temp. / water temp.) on top of my dash I decided I'd add one more project to my current list...move the gauges to the vent space below that I rarely ever use. http://i321.photobucket.com/albums/nn399/dropfocus/Gauge%20Relocation%20Project/null_zps139c94ae.jpg ...

I could modify spare grills all day long and NEVER charge $400+ for my work. I'm already in the process or modding two spares and the fiberglass work isn't too involved. Those prices are insane!

Are you asking about the DTEC fuel controller?
If so, yes it will. It would get wired in as a piggy back system.
