thanks guys! once i find a new dd the leggy will be going under the knife. time to start building it.

as for the body damage.. there is not 1 clean panel on the car. hail damage, multiple hit and runs. its sad. maybe one day it will be mint again... one day.. lol

169k and going strong. https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10991173_429804073844329_3012408982446884259_n.jpg?oh=6706523c6e669e053beccd2dd6aad603&oe=55585858&__gda__=1431626802_890c4e7c4f99b695d8f2463b3248757c https://scontent-a-sea.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1....

very nice progress!! I need to get a new DD so i can get some minor issues ground out on my car.


the boost spike could be your MBC leaking? or maybe the MBC needs to be cleaned? maybe the little ball inside the MBC is getting stuck from oil residue.

I didnt read all of this, but in regards to the oil seperater. I have heard of people not having pleasing results with Grimmspeeds AOS. So far the only positive AOS i have heard is the Crawford. I have a co-worker (and long time friend) who just got done doing a full build on his STi. He almost boug...

speed density if you are going with a aem unit. thats what i would do anyway...

I like my TD04 upgrade. i did it different then most; i installed a FMIC rather then a TMIC. am i getting some pressure drop.. probably. The TD04 is a nice cheap upgrade before you have to start doing injectors, fuel pump, etc etc. the TD04 is a noticeable difference for power. If the $$ is right i ...

hopefully have my downpipe on this weekend. ill post some pictures if i get time to do it tonight.

i believe they are the same 2 pin harness. I dont think subaru made any changes to that.

if you install just the pump i think you would be alright.

IIRC the STi pump flows 230LPH and the walbro flows 255(I think).

^ thanks for clarifying.

add that to my knowledge bank now haha

1st will be to finish paying off some debt, then park the car. those are the first things that need to happen

and my build changes every day for what i want to do to my car. haha i am always brain storming for what combo is going to be best.

i know what power range i want to be at..... but every time i settle with the set up i would like; i see what else i can buy for that amount and change my mind. lmao

Agreed, the Robtune, just doesn't allow you the infinite amount of flexibility a stand alone offers you. If that's what you want....then yes, definitely go with a stand alone. As I have found....sometimes that infinite amount of flexibility and tunability isn't all it's cracked up to be. The rods a...

I wouldnt say the rob tune is a band-aid, its the equivelent of an Access Port or open source tune on the 02+ cars. The big difference being rob is the only one who has the resources and drive to do the old ecus, so there's no customization for individual setups. If you're looking for ever-oncreasi...

No hard feelings. I completely understand where you are coming from buddy. Most people just ask due to not knowing what to search for. maybe i didnt add enough information or didnt describe well enough.. i tend to do that :) I just think a rob tune is a bandaid for temporary fix for power. because f...

i understand a piggy back is different then a standalone. I know that the standalone is very time consuming. What sucks about this ECU is all the limitations, at times i want to install DOHC from a wrx or STi and then do a wiring harness merge to run opensource tuning on the newer ECU. There is real...

As far as the transmission goes, if you get the TransGo shiftkit it should last a little longer, and if it is already in good shape it should last pretty well with that power level. Just don't abuse it. Same advice I would give for someone with a 5MT. Unless you're like me and like breaking 5mt SS ...

ok, i am used to dealing with OBD2 on all of my other Subarus. This OBD1 game sucks. for longetivity isnt it better to purchase a standalone for the future? unless a RobTune can compensate for larger (then oem) turbo's and injectors?

correct, the electronic will help regulate different barometric pressures while the MBC will keep it locked in from going above a preset limit.

I heard it works pretty well, but can be a pain in the rear end to get it set up. i may ditch the EBC and run just MBC.

There are so many TD04 turbos produced; I believe as long as it is an IHI turbo the parts should be interchangeable. blouch just installs a better compressor wheel (I think).

next weekend i am installing my downpipe and my new area1320 electronic boost controller and running a mbc at the same time.

ok, update time; I found 2 problem areas with my fuel problem. I installed a recirc bpv froma wrx and ran it atmospher style. Due to the WRX BPV being designed to run recirc it was meant to be partially open to run back to the intake to avoid compressor surge. I installed my friends Turbo XS RFL on ...

picked up a downpipe and up pipe (3") for $40 on friday. going to order a grimmspeed adapter to convert from 3" to 2.5". then install manual boost controller. then wham bam. then its to fix a few more maintenance items.

one day i will get some window tint.. haha.

installed new crank pulley due to old crank pulley being damaged. car runs great.

now if i can figure out my damn alternator issue then i think the car is golden for 100k
