Motor:
2.2 n/a block w 150k on it
2.5 sohc heads
^^ this combo produces ~8:1 comp ratio, SAFE for boost!
2.5 sohc intake mani
92 legacy turbo throttle body and tps. (No iac due to the 2.5sohc TB being wrong for the ecu and the leg turbo TB not having one on it. fast idle is acheived with a emmisions VSV and a toggle switch.)
wrx manifolds/crossover/uppipe w hollow cat
VF39
custom inlet tube made from exh pipe and DSM intercooler hose
wrx top mount, with custom y pipe made from the stock plastic one/DSM hose
440cc wrx injectors
92 legacy SS ecu pinned into factory 1.8 harness (simple and works awesome)
apexi afc to scale for injectors
outback 2.5 clutch
3" dp, to 3" home made catback
techedge wideband.
Notes:
car is currently running 8psi of boost. i have no doubts this setup would handle 10-15psi no problem, but unfortunatly the turbo legacy Hitachi maf sensor is maxed out at 8psi. the outback clutch slips sometimes in 3rd gear, i have a better one, just havent installed it.
the iac situation is mickey mouse. i had a phase2 2.2 TB on it originally, but the ecu didnt like that tps, and the Tleg tps wouldnt fit the newer TB. if the temp is above 40-50deg, it starts and idles no problem. below that, the fast idle switch is needed. not a big deal, just annoying.
This build is the result of me putting my STi swapped 94 legacy away for thge winter and not wanting to drive a n/a car, or a nice car that id care if it got smashed up.
Question reliability? I have beat the absolute crap out of this thing, drifting in the snow, sliding around a lake in 3rd on rev limit for 4-5 hours, and taken plenty of decent trips. it runs perfect.
Want proof? Here you go, this was on a land&sea Dynomite at Kinetic motorworks in NH (stock sti puts down 225awhp on this dyno)

there is alot of mickey moused hackery on this thing, mostly because i didnt really care. it was an experiment, and i wanted to have next to nothing in the project. bottom line is, it works, makes power, and has proven reliable. Winning in my book:D
enjoy
