Got a few more pics of my car uploaded now. Can see most of the intercooler plumbing in these pics... http://www.ausubaru.com/ausubaru/html/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=932 Not sure if you have to be a member to see that page...

That link isnt working, is the file still up?

I sent through the info on my RX a couple of months ago but is not on the spreadsheet. Do you still have the info DR RX?

Here is a pic of my Momo Corse. Think it's on the wrong side for you guys though

I am from Australia & yes it is called a Brumby. Check out http://www.ausubaru.com/ausubaru/html/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=13 If you ask the guys on there, they will give you all the info you need. Simon...

I have a VF10 on my EA82T but used to have a VF8 and have used a VF24 as well. All these turbos require the manifold flange changed & the compressor housing rotated around 180degrees so the outlet faces upwards. Also need to modify the wastegate actuator mounts because of the compressor housing being rotated. Unfortunately there are no replacement turbos that will bolt straight on...hope this helps. Simon

You have a PM! Just sent the info of my RX through...

The main issue I had with my standard ECU was dry joints on the main board. It used to cut out if I went over any harsh bumps etc After resoldering it about 4 times, I got jack of it & bought an aftermarket ECU...

I'll post some pics of the plumbing for you. Took a fair bit of modification with the help of a grinder & gas axe for it to work but the plumbing goes down through a hole we cut, through the corner of the wheel arch making sure we had clearance for the tyres. Had to modify the grille, headlight mounts & bonnet release. Also had some dramas with it all fitting under the bonnet mainly where the intake pipe goes to a 90deg turn downwards into the throttle body. The pipe would sit too high so had to get a turbonetics 90deg turn so it fit with the bonnet closed. The intercooler alone gave me about 20 more hp on the same boost.

I still have to upgrade wheels & suspension as you've noticed! Bit of a handful at the best of times!

I live in Parkwood & work in Robina which is 5 mins drive from Surfers. It is street legal BTW, just had the inspection done when I registered it about 2 months ago. Had to take it to the department of transport so they could get the numbers off the new engine but that was it, they didnt even make me start it up (thank god!). Is a bit loud What is a wof?

Really? Evertime I have dealt with them, they have always been very fast with service etc. All the bits I ordered off them had arrived the next day. No complaints at all! They are very popular over here so have no dramas with getting them tuned etc.

Why? This is the one here...

Yeah Im on the Gold Coast, Queensland. Bit of a trip if you want to steal it TomRhere!

Hey guys, the car is going back on the dyno on Thursday this week. Just finished off wiring up the new ECU last night and just waiting on my 3 bar map sensor to arrive tomorrow. Will keep you posted. Simon...

Hey guys, I am a new member on this site but post a lot on the BYB forums here in Australia. Just commenting on how much power an EA82T can make, I have recently done a complete build up of my 85 RX & made 286hp at the wheels. The figures you are talking about can be reached & beleive me I got so much criticism when building the project & people always doubted the power it puts out. Mods to the car are way too much to list but if you take into account that nothing in the engine remains standard so therefore the limitations of the EA82 are irrelevant. The car is going back on the dyno within the next few days with my new fuel system which includes Haltech F10x ECU, Bosch 550hp pump & Sard pressure regulator. It made 286hp on 18psi but was limited by the fuel system so this time 300 at the wheels shouldnt be too hard on 25psi. Will keep you posted... Simon
