Re: Kookookachew's Legacy L build

Haha yup, exactly! That's why I have turbo injectors and rails, that I know will be plenty of fuel and I'll be wiring in a PP6 for tuning

Re: Kookookachew's Legacy L build

Well, I'm running an N/A ECU, injectors and MAF, so I'm not surprised it's running lean at 11 lbs of boost. Are you talking about a Legacy SS?

Re: Kookookachew's Legacy L build

I did realize that an exhaust with less back-pressure would increase boost and lower time needed to spool, but I never though that just a muffler, and one originally equipped on a turbo car, would create such a difference!! But hey, I'm not complaining, I certainly like the additional boost, and the...

Re: Kookookachew's Legacy L build

Also, forgot to mention for anyone interested... After I swapped out the POS stock '02 WRX muffler with just a cheap 3A Racing garbage straight-through muffler I gained ALOT of boost... I don't exactly understand it, but I could never touch over 6lbs on waste-gate before, since then I've hit over 11...

^^^ They are 205-40-16. Too short of a sidewall IMHO, Id rather run 45 or 50 series sidewalls, but they were on the wheels when I got them.

Re: Kookookachew's Legacy L build

Not too bad, just set it on the hood, measured it out so it was equidistant from side to side and about where a scoop would sit, and then marked with a pencil and took a 4 1/2" angle grinder with cutoff wheel to the hood. I had to make "notches" in the hood where the scoop mounts woul...

Re: 93 Legacy Turbo 5-speed RWD RUST FREE!!!

Well, I've decided not to sell it! I just can't do it, I like the car too much. I opted to instead sell just the coil-overs, which I haven't been crazy about anyway, I'm just not a low-car person.

So mods, if you like, please delete/lock

Re: Kookookachew's Legacy L build

Haha tight corners are a bit interesting as you'd expect. Just feel some solid binding, and hear some scuffs and chirps from the tires, but thats about it. Surprisingly though, medium to high speed corners are much better. I haven't had a chance to change out the lateral links and bolt in the WRX sw...

Re: Kookookachew's Legacy L build

Once I got it running and driving I threw on a set of Raceland coilovers, they are super cheap, but not absolutely terrible. Much better than some of the VW kits, they at least have independent height and preload adjustment, although the damping is terrible and there is no adjustment for it. But It ...

That was it for work at home, but I also spent a good chunk of the summer and my internship money on go-fast parts ;) Slowly collected parts for the turbo build and manual swap.... Its now a Turbo EJ22N/A Running 6 psi, more to come. And it is also a 5 speed and RWD with welded center and rear diffs...

Front lip is off of an old Volvo I found in the junkyard, $5 later and a few screws later and it was on! No molding, modification needed. Side skirts are from a '00-'04 Outback wagon, cut a couple of inches out of the backs to make the length correct

Re: Any "common" Subaru fuel rails that will fit 22T injecto

On a separate note, are EJ22T Injectors high or low impedance? I've read some Nissan topfeeds from a CA18DET from an S13 are 370cc and low impedance. There are also some top feeds from a 3000GT/Stealth Turbo that are 360cc topfeeds and low impedance. I'll have to do some reading on using non-Subaru ...

Hmm, not what I wanted to hear :P So in Meyagi's build that I read on mainlysubarus he mentioned using a 2.2 manifold from a '00 OBS on his 2.5L heads. So I'm assuming then that those newer 2.2Ls are a different bolt pattern as well? Anyway, does anyone know of any 370cc topfeed injectors that could...
