Big C's Legacy SS Build
A little background before we get into the gritty details. I bought the 91 legacy turbo from a high school friend who beat it up pretty good. Found it barely running, sputtering poping and banging and pretty much on the verge of going to the junkyard. Was told for 400$ it was mine to take. Needless to say i speed to the bank and became the proud owner of the leggy! After towing it to a friends we through some plugs in it and wires, to fix some of the rough running but still wasnt quite right. Before this id never had a turbo car and made the mistake of filling the car with 85 fuel instead of 91. After realizing the mistake i ran the piss out of it with cleaner and octane booster till i was able to refill with 91. After reading and trial and error to figure out Inwas having a low fuel rail pressure on the passenger side. I replaced the fuel pressure regulator which made the difference between small boost and full boost.

Re: Big C's Legacy SS Build
So havent been able to figure out pic and video uploading and been away working on a crank no start issue, went through the entire car from fuel to ignition to ecu to wiring come to find out the car had jumped time due to one tooth broken off on The timing pulleys. Thank goodness no bent valves or smacked pistons! Car is now running and idling strong however i began to notice hesistation from the dig so going to have to look into what maybe the cause. Pics to come

Re: Big C's Legacy SS Build
Finally got some pics up hope yall like what ive done! Lately been dealing with a hard fuel cut at 6lbs on a robtune and a limp mode on the stock ecu, not to sure the cause yet but continuously showing code 45 , the pressure exchange soleniod and pump basically, assuming thats probably the issue.. however im also seeing an abs code from the rf wheel speed sensor, any thoughts if that could actually be the issue?
