86 Subaru Leone

Some other steps to consider are: adding heat teflective tape to ic core and piping, adding water wetter to the ic system, running the turbo intake into the fender/build an intake heat shield/ air box, make a turbo heat shield, add small fans to your ic heat exchanger, and run ducting into the engine bay via an outside source

[evolutionmovement]

If you do cut the hood, the Mitsubishi Evo style vent would help flow through the coolers as well as keeping that heat out of the engine compartment. But, I hope you can get it without cutting.

What's up with the rear wheel in that bottom picture? Is that camber adjustment to try to tame insane oversteering?

[livestrong14]

I agree any louver style vent would look best if it comes to it. Painted body color or satin black. There are some cool vents out there off other 80's cars

The thing is guys....you can have as much under hood temps as you want as long as the IC core is insulated and you have good circulation. That's the other thing you could try...is a beefier pump. When you open the cap on the IC, can you see the fluid going through? If so, how quickly does it look like it's going?

You may want to do some testing like I did:

Specifically:

As you can see, the smaller diameter hose & fittings really kills your flow rates. What I might suggest is opening up the system and have it pump into one bucket and suck out of another bucket. This will give you an idea of what the flow rate is. If your flow rates are pretty low, upping them will help move the cooling medium from the exchanger to the intercooler.

As I mentioned, I'd probably suggest insulating or put some metallic insulating tape/wrap around the IC core and the resevoir.

More wallpaper, thanks NICO

Nice pictures!

[NICO]

those pictures are franz pictures he sure knows how to take them !


so i went to Washington D.C to visit Franz and he did a little work on the car and he took me to see the crazy city which is just amazing to see and i cant wait to go back for part 2 of the city !!

Abraham Lincoln says hello


Franz's one of a billion cool tool's he owns !


my leone getting all its numbers crunched to perfection !


little vid




franz made me a new shorter pipe from scratch in a matter of minutes, and he gave me the fancy clamps to hold it right. we also put in oil temp, oil pressure, fuel pressure sensors to watch whats going and everything is good !



so much went down this week here is some extra pics from the dyno session, the guys at IMA Motorsports know there Porsche's it was Porsche heaven, i was sourounded buy flat six's with huge turbos making stupid power every where i looked such nice people at IMA Motorsports !

all these porsche made me think why am i messing with this four bangger when subaru made the best six which is a ej22 with a extra 2 lol.

[Legacy777]

Nice!!!

So what kind of numbers did you put down?

[FundamentalyConfused]

I'm telling ya man you can get that car in a tuner mag with these pics of yours.

In the 3rd pic are those rubber marks on the ground or just wet tire tracks? Geting a pic with a long 4 tire burnout would light a fire under a writers ass!!

And have you thought about changing the grill pattern?

[NICO]

Nice!!!

So what kind of numbers did you put down?

papaer is coming but with the small 1.00 housing it made 320whp but if i get the 1.09 or bigger will make more. at this point its just crazy to control all ready, it made 50whp more from my 17psi road tune.

lol no those are water marks is was pissing out, but i dont know i never tired to put a car in a mag maybe. and those pics are franz's i wish i can snap them like that lol



so i got my STi coupler in


and i am building the air oil separator system witch i can put in soon once my plastic fittings come in

mann hummel provent 200 and i welded a nipple for the drain back on my stock dip stick tube. you need a one way valve and i got high temp o rings for the provent 200 lid.

the hose is a bmw 1990 325 6 hose witch has a step in it the same size as the provent 200.

[NICO]

well my jdm rally book has come in and i think vinyl wrap is coming lol



the first rally cars


My LEONE !!


look at the bolt pattern 4 at first next year 5x100 lol... need to vinyl wrap it haha


my car was the lightest subaru ever made 900kg


My OLD baby !!!

[mike-tracy]

I really like that book of rally pictures!

[NICO]

I really like that book of rally pictures!

ya there is so many pictures of all the legacy turbos that have rallied, there is more legacys in diffrent paint that i never new there was

ill try and snap all the pics off them in the book and post them up when i get some time






so my us-plastic stuff has come in and its time to put in my provent 200 & got a little reservoir for the AWIC set up and it works perfect.




here we have it all put together and ready to rock.




made some brackets out of rod aluminum to hold it in place and its working perfect, oil is being seperated and dumped back the right way.



also used my factory coolant reservoir and re mounted it to the strut top with a nice aluminum plate. the AWIC reservoir fits perfect in that little corner and its working perfect.

Nico,

Are you just using that tank for an "expansion" tank?

I put one on mine, but it has always stayed completely dry. The system pressure never has exceeded the cap pressure rating, so it's never relieved into the expansion tank.

Yep just a expansion tank, so far I put it up to the second tic on the bottle and it sucked right to half and it looks pretty good so far and that's hard driving.

I been checking it daily and after runs the line is clear so its doing its job because its moving back and forth so far like the rad..

I bled mine with the yellow funnel and capped it with the pump on so it would have pressure..



Was your doing something wrong ?

[kimokalihi]

Josh is just saying his temps never get high enough to create the pressure required to open the cap.

[Legacy777]

Was your doing something wrong ?

Yeah, Kimo said it....Nothing's wrong, I just haven't seen the pressures get high enough to cause the fluid to go in the expansion tank. I've pressure tested the system and it holds pressure just fine.

I'd be curious to know what the pressure relief is for the cap on your AWIC setup. Can you check and let us know? I'll check mine this evening if I remember and let you know how they compare.

Thanks

[NICO]

ok i got you guys.


my cap pressure is legacy turbo cap so 0.9 i think. even the facotry gl-10 turbo has the same cap as the legacy or should i say the legacy has the same cap as the oem gl-10 one.

[Legacy777]

Yeah, mine are the same. They're the new ones, that say 88 kpa, which is .88 bar.

and yours does not move any fluid in or out the awic ? my set up is really nice when it gets hot out it sucks and fills up perfect






Stage 1 7670 S200SX 1.00AR, next year for fun Stage 2 S300SX 400whp

[Legacy777]

Nope, mine does not move any fluid in or out.

interesting mine did now it does not maybe just a little but is that good or bad ?







well i found the most rarest part in japan for my car ! with the help of Yoshifumi @ japan dream direct.. http://j-a-d.ocnk.net/ .





The Leone Turbo OEM Subaru window visor !!





these puppies are made out metal not like the 90's plastic type one's, these one's hold there shape even in wind tunnel testing.

they slice the wind like a ninja sword, and cut rain water in half lol





also got some new track wheels for summer, tire i have not picked yet.

first......awesome

second..
so from back in the day playing with ea82's, i have notced a few things about your car. the front bumper is odd! It isnt the correct one for pre faclelift, yet isnt the same as post due to the turn signal area. also you should have the rear license plate in the bumper with a filler panel on the trunk

i guess the cool thing you can always install the trunk panel to ditch the rear plate all together
