  1. Hello Subarutex, How much extra fuel do you need? Check out this 'free' injector upgrade. Free fuel
  2. Hello Rabin, Are you the same Rabin as James Rabin who races his 505 Peugot turbo? Were you ever a service chief for rally drivers of a 92 Legacy Turbo? Just curious!
  3. Someone should've taken him up on this offer.
  4. Navybluesubaru's water injection install: Part 1 Navybluesubaru's water injection install: Part 2 FP18g + WRXtuner's water injection dyno'd today (12/12) Have fun!
  5. Nice read! I'm absorbing and taking ALL of this in for future reference. I quoted the above info for a reason. I remember reading something from 'Skip' here on blow off valve from THIS thread. Here is the quote, "ah actualy the Subaru engineers must have given thought to the problem that a blow off valve or By Pass valve is suppose to solve. (i.e. the boost pressure bouncing off a rapidly closed throttle plate and hitting the turbo's impellor thus slowing it down.) They did this by using a "dash pot" Little known and not often mentioned devise slows the throttle closing just before idle and allows some of the boost pressure leak by the throttle butterfly. I have a Volvo By Pass valve unit fitted to my 87 5 speed turbo and it does help a little compared to the well adjusted dash pot. Newer cars use BPV's because they have higher factory boost pressures." Comments?
  6. SUBARU3, I'm glad you brought this subject up. I LOVE automatics unlike most of the people here. I have not had an old school Subaru automatic except for my 1989 FWD Auto XT6. I had always wondered why most people seem to bash them as well. I was hoping to own an early modelled Subaru automatic someday and try to have the valve body modified, synthetic or fresh tranny fluid and a nice size tranny cooler put on. So far, my XT6 has been a joy to drive with these modifications. Heck, if I was rolling in $$$$, I'd even consider an upgraded torque converter on an older modelled turbo. Seems like it would be a lot of fun.
  7. Dennis, I hope this works out for you in the end. We have to head up to the tracks together. The tracks are going to be opening up and I'm eager to see how the car runs.
  8. The 'AFC boost hack' Joe is referring to can be found here.... AFC Boost Hack
  9. I offered to purchase a kit from Mr. Joe Davis first even though I don't have a Justy. Before selling it though, could you get a blueprint or something of the kit and make additional parts so you can keep reselling it again and again? It would be a shame to see it go to just one person and that be it. People have been waiting for something like this for quite some time. And thanks Joe for joining the USMB and posting info about your project.
  10. Stock XT6 injectors flow 185ccs. Now you have to find out what the Justy flows. 185cc?!? Pathetic! Maybe Justy injectors would be an upgrade for me.
  11. Ebay....where else? 35lb Browntop Injectors Looks a lot like my XT6 injectors. Hrrmm!
  12. Here's where you can find out some particulars about the car. http://www.honda-tech.com/zeropost?cmd=tshow&id=740808
  13. Check out this turbocharged Justy. It's probably been posted a 100X before but I didn't see info on it. http://www.redpepperracing.com/gallery/TurboJusty
  14. Found the culprit of my problem about 2 minutes ago. You see, years ago, I had swapped out my stock ECU for other units when modifying my Outback Sport. Recently, after trying week after week to find the culprit of my check engine light (P0183), I had tried 3 different ECUS. The Legacy unit and two 1997 Impreza units didn't work. There are 3 different 1997 2.2ltr Impreza ECUs that you can purchase. 22611-AC830 22611-AC831 22611-AD400 The one I kept getting was the last one (22611-AD400). This is the one that throws the 'P0183' code (Fuel Temp Sensor A, High Input Circuit). Its been driving me nuts for almost 4yrs now but I didn't care most of the time since I didn't have to pass motor vehicle with them hooking up to my ECU. I even swapped ECUs with a fellow 1997 2.2ltr Impreza Outback Sport owner and it didn't work since he had the -AD400 model. Even took it to 4 dealerships and 3 different shops and no-one could help. When hooking up to the ECU, it stated that it was a 2.2ltr 1997 model so the average joe would go off of that and thought the ECU was ok. The correct ECU for my Outback Sport is 22611-AC831. I just tried it out about two minutes ago and the check engine light immediately went out. Woohoo! Now to put it all together, take it through Motor Vehicle and drive. I took off work tonight and tomorrow because I'm so happy. *Tail Wagging* L8Rs.....
  15. Dang, I don't feel so bad anymore. You guys got issues! Unfortunately, I wish I were in you guy's shoes. I own one Toyota that snuck in and two scoobies. I love my subarus! The Toyota Matrix doesn't seem to have any soul. I told my wife this and she just Whateva! I keep trying to make my slow scoobs do what they aren't supposed to be doing.....go fast. "Yeah baby, that's it....talk to me, faster, FASTA" " Scoob--WooaarrhhhhaaaaaHHHAAAahhhhaaaaHHH......spit..spit" Me.....OMG (Not in a good way either).
  16. Do you guys know each other? Another 86 XT Turbo dude :-\ HRrrmmmmm??!**##
  17. What's this? A turbocharged Subaru Justy? I've been wanting to see something like this a long time. More info.....more info! I couldn't imagine how a boosted 1600-1800lbs Justy would feel like with about 150-160hp/torque. Could the automatic (ECVT) Justy's belt driven tranny handle this? I don't think a shop like Level 10 performance could 'upgrade' this type of tranny.
  18. Check: http://car-part.com/ I just looked there and saw quite a bit of Legacy Turbos from $450 down to $175. Some even negotiable. Good luck! BTW: I only saw 4 WRX turbos here going up to $500. I call B.S. on the hp to the wheels. *My evil plan to see a dyno chart* B.S...B.S. (Man..that's awesome).
  19. Hello Dean (DJ), It's nice to read about your success with the Paeco cams. Maybe I shouldn't be so hesitant to send some in. You got any pics of your project?
  20. Excellent info Skip! I do no know why I never bothered asking info abou the hoses here. I've been looking for a place to purchase silicone hoses and rubber fittings for a long time. The hoses will help a good deal in future projects. Thanks again!
  21. Hey Skip, I never get tired of seeing that work of art. It shows us youngins how to do things the right way. I react the same way every time I see it.
  22. Hey Dennis, If you are going to an autox sometime in your XT turbo, shoot me a PM or email. I'm not sure how you feel about the past car 'incident' but I haven't heard anything from you in a bit. If you are down, give me a shout. My XT6 isn't perfect but it's running ok. Maybe you'd like to do a side-by-side comparison sometime.
  23. Ouch! Well this just put a damper on what I was planning on doing. Oh well! Thanks!
  24. Hey all, I just have a quick question about some of the 1.8ltr old school subbies. I have a diagram of a single exhaust port 1.8ltr turbo XT header that I'm looking at. http://mywebpages.comcast.net/thomasck/XT6-TurboHeader1.JPG I've read that some 1.8ltr N/A engines have dual exhaust ports. Do any of the 1.8ltr turbo engines have dual exhaust ports? Thanks for any help!
