***Need more power,PICTURE ADDED****

Yes, it's illegal to use on the street over here. No, it's not illegal to carry the bottle in the car. You can not have the bottle attached to the nitrous hose enabling it to be used at a flick of a button. Transporting the bottle around (whether it's full or not) is not illegal. It's just that when you carry a whole lot of nitrous reaching a certain weight limit, you'll need a placard and other stuff that we don't have to worry about. WJM, I see what you are saying about using nitrous. Again, good luck in your pursuits. I'm chopping away at my XT6s trying to learn stuff but my $$$ has just reached a new low between getting parts, installing them (having some installed) and testing on a dyno. Now both of my XT6s are down and one I don't even know why. ???? Arrrghhh!

Hey Will, I replied in that thread. Don't worry about what some people say. They offer a lot of good info since some have already passed were you are. However, the biggest thing you could do to disprove or change people's (some anyway) is show results.....good results....of certain mods. Like the guy who posted his 14.91 with just a boost controller and intercooler (Dangerous). Trust me, I heard a lot of the same stuff when I turbocharged/nitroused my Outback Sport. It was a wonderful experience until I turbocharged it a 2nd time and put in a wrong ECU. Yikes! However, running 13's at the track beating stangs and such and then going home to get the laundry....before the WRXs were here was a great feeling. You can do it. People just want to see some proof though. I'm cheering for ya!

Hello Matt, This is really cool information. I'm excited for your bro. You are doing exactly what I wanted to do, in an automatic to boot. Congrats! I can't wait to read up on more of your results. BTW: What were your 60ft times with your runs? 2.3-2.5s? I'm hoping so because if that's the case, you could very well get in the mid to low 14's with a torque converter upgrade. Good luck bro! I'm rootin' for ya.

Awe man, do I have some stories about my OBS. Woohoo! -
Oil Cooler adapters,permanent avalibility!
Myxalplyx replied to WJM's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I'm way late on this WJM. I was pointed to this thread from xt6.net.....from a discussion on oil coolers. Would one of these work on the ER27 engine (which is similar to the EA82 engine in a lot of respects 'cept displacement/cylinders)? If it can fit and I can someone get a complete kit with everything I need, then I want one. I recall something earlier about some additional pieces being needed. Is this still the case? I just want to buy it, have it installed and be done with it. That is....after you get your next batch or if one of the peeps pulled out of the original 'group buy'. Thanks! -
Yeah Corky! I fullly understand what you are saying. You may as well talk like 'Uncle Ben' and say "With great power comes great responsibility". The same thing could be applied to raising boost pressure as well. I know I wouldn't hesitate to use it though since I've had some positive experiences with it. I'm thinking even with a simple 60hp shot of nitrous on top of an exhaust and intercooler upgrade and raising to the boost to 13psi or so you'd have a low 14 second/high 13 second car depending on when you spray the juice. And you'd just be getting started. If I didn't get a 2nd XT6, I would've purchased an EA82T turbo and hopefully had a load of fun with it. Too bad I like autos and the 3spd autos suck really bad. Some would say all autos suck but to each their own. Oh well, I know if TWE said they could hang with a stock WRX with their parts, putting a wet shot on top of that would probably have me laughing with tears in my eyes. I'd have so much fun. Have fun!

WJM, I applaud your efforts. Good luck! In the meantime, do any of you have anything against using nitrous? This in conjunction with the exhaust modified, custome uppipe/downpipe and upgraded turbo should make for a killer setup. Your fuelling may need to be upgraded but it should make for a very fun car. I know if I had a 1.8ltr turbo, I'd have put a wet nitrous kit on it as soon as $$$ became available. That would be after all the basic maintenance and tending to the transmission first. So what's up? Why not tinker with nitrous? :-\

wow, the rx is fast stock

You crack me up man. Hehe! -

Myxalplyx replied to subyrally's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
OMG! :lol: :lol: I thought this was pretty funny. Any and all of your old school subbies and be plenty fast. All you guys need is what you have been doing (Intercooler, exhaust) and one extra thing. NITROUS!!!! Why haven't some of you utilized this? I would've been all over this had I had a EA81-T or EA82-T. I think a 60-75hp wet shot would do wonders for these cars.....and the tranny *cough*. WJM.....I'm calling you out on this. What do you think your car will do in the 1/4? What does it do in the 1/4? I'll put up my XT6s timeslip up to your turbo. Either one of them. Muhahahaha! What do you say? -
I feel your pain. The asking of why am I doing this. My XT6 KEEPS being down for one reason or another. Now, it's simply the brake calipers but still. What did I do yesterday? I picked up a 4th car....another XT6 but this time AWD. I'm in LOVE. It's got more problems than my other car but it drives. *sniffle* Good luck with your insanity. I'm screwed! *Whips out straight-jacket*

Wow Marck! Great, Great info. You can get a Turbo upgrade, headers AND a downpipe for under 1k? Excellent! The long wait will kill most people though. No-one wants to wait that long. That's 2 months or so. :-\ I'm telling you guys, if I had a EA81T or EA82T, I'd be all over this. First thing I'd do is grab one of those turbos.
-
GD, Where are you getting these numbers from? Is there something that shows this somewhere or are they guesstimates?

Car: 1989 2.7ltr Subaru XT6 (Automatic/FWD) Best 1/4 mile time so far: 16.4 @ 82mph Car is N/A! I'm hoping and praying to get into the 15's once I get my recent brake caliper grinding fixed. I do not know what this translates into as far as 0-60mph goes. Once in 15's, I'll start playing with nitrous. Mods are below......

Totally different in a good way. I lost a lot of low end with the deltacams (around 10lbs/ft of torque). It seemed to have brought back all the low end that I losts with the cams and 3" JC Sports intake. Now it's a steady pull all the way up to redline. It's so continuous and non-dramatic, I'm not sure if there is a gain up top. Before it was slow then started to move around 3500rpm. Now, it starts moving as soon as I hit the gas pedal. I need to get it to the dyno. I was headed to the track this past Friday but smoke was coming from my driver's side wheel well. I need to address my brake caliper locking up situation. Once I get this taken care of, I'll head to the track and dyno. If things seem positive, I'll post up and recommend this setup to anyone that can get it.

Updated! Bends are now 2.5" and 3" stainless steel instead of 2" internal diameter Home Depot PVC piping.

Last I remembered, it wasn't the amount of people ordering that prompted and order but when they had time to work on the header and downpipes. You just had to wait until they had time. Call them up! It may be prime time right now. If I had a EA82-T, I would've been bugging the hell out of those guys to be the first (and maybe only) person to get the parts. They may even make you up one of each so you could stop bugging them. That's what I did with Unorthodox Racing until they made me a pulley for my XT6. Now he (Joe Menechino...UR owner) won't make anymore individual pulleys. Give them a call or calls man.

Air suspension conversion XT coupe (86)
Myxalplyx replied to gk1008's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
GK1008, I just sent you an private message about your XT turbo. I called you about it earlier today. Edit: I just saw your car on Ebay. Ahh! That hurts. -
NASIOC has changed a lot since the old days. I still frequent there as well as here. Been on both boards forever, yet I'm feeling dumber every day. WJM, can that chart be extended into years?

New Subaru-only Magazine?
Myxalplyx replied to ricochet's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I'm down for a subscription. My ONLY concern is the price of the magazine. How much are we looking at? I'm not talking about final price but a round-a-bout price range your company has in mind -
It's not necessarily a Cobb air intake but it's the same PRM air filter that the Cobb intake uses. I'm pretty happy it came together. If you are interested in doing the same, I used two PVC pipes, Nissan maf adapter and some 2.5" cut up silicon hose connectors. You'll have to drill a hole and maybe weld to make the vacuum fitting for the IAC (I think that's what it is) and PCV valve.
