Devan's 91' SS!!! (*Updated June 5th! Auto-X Video!!*)

You've got a nice parts list, and you got some good deals too. Any particular reason you want to install the turbo timer? Seems like more work than it's worth.

I've got that same evo intercooler. I picked it up from a guy who had an eclipse, he said it was off a evo 3. I'd be interested in seeing how you plan on installing it, I haven't decided what I'm gonna do with mine yet.

Yeah, I'm not too sure if I will be installing it or not. I think it would be great to have a Frontmount in general. Just takes a lot of time to fab up and still keep my ABS, Power Steering, and AC. I will probably get something fabbed up this Summer.

But it's your car...a very nice one at that!!

I will be there for sure over spring break to assist with makin' your SS haul some ass.

Thanks Nick. We might install it. It depends on how much time we have though. I really appreciate your offering to help man. We need all the help we can get. I can't wait for Auto-X and Drag season to start up!

Intruding to support Nick -- the Subie coolant tank makes the turbo timer redundant.

Better to put the money into go-fast-stuff.

What did you have to source to install that TMIC? I have an 07 WRX TMIC in the garage waiting to get installed

Well, since I have an EJ20G swap to go with it, the coolant overflow tank is already relocated. Other than that, it is pretty much a direct bolt in. It will still require a little bit of modification to work perfectly with your turbo. What turbo are you using? I am using a 90 Degree VF8.

I'm using the stock RHB5. It looks like it'll be close, but not quite enough, to connect to the compressor output. Working on finding a replacement coolant tank, I learned that lesson on my last Legacy Turbo.

Exhaust Pics!

Major thanks to Nick for building such a great exhaust with limited time and equipment. Couldn't have asked for a better job. Thanks man

It is a 3" GPMoto Downpipe into a custom 3" cat-back into a Magnaflow. 3" Catless from the turbo back sounds great! Very deep!

I'm going without a tip for now. Looks very sleeper!

This new setup is just amazing! With the TurboXS MBC and Desnorkle/Semi- Coffee cup mod, you can really feel the car pull. We have had it set at 16 psi, and it is doing fine. I just ran it at the PIR Saturday night drags and I ran a 14.56 at 94 MPH at 12 psi.

555BCTurbo · Post by **555BCTurbo** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 10:19 pm

14.56

The car pulls hard, but I didn't think that hard!!

Hell yah, great to hear you finally have the Leggy dialed in...

I fixed my car on Saturday too, no more CEL's, and its hitting 18 psi in the upper gears with plenty of fuel, and it pulls like a raped ape.

livestrong14 · Post by **livestrong14** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 10:44 pm

haha, glad you got it fixed! Yeah, my fastest was a 14.56 at 94 MPH, followed by a 14.61 at 95, and a 14.68 at 93. We dragged it 12 times on Saturday night! lol

It's good to see a tleg get put to good use. Why does the front end look so raked though? In the drag and autocross pics it looks like the front is slammed.

livestrong14 · Post by **livestrong14** » Mon Apr 23, 2007 8:20 pm

The front has WRX struts with Espiler Lowering springs and the rear has 91' Wagon struts/springs. The wagon springs are rated for 600 lbs. more than sedan springs. That is why is looks lifted. It was kind of a last minute thing. The WRX struts/Tophats and Espiler Lowering springs rubbed on the inside of the wheel well, so we had to find a solution. I had 3 blown struts.

n2x4 · Post by **n2x4** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 11:09 pm

Do you need some 91 sedan rear springs? I think I've got some in the garage attic if you want. I figure you'll probably go with WRX stuff all around, but I thought I'd offer.

livestrong14 · Post by **livestrong14** » Tue May 01, 2007 1:48 am

Actually, we got it all sorted out. Thanks anyways man. I'll be putting them on next month.
