That's very nice looking skip. Hey, you need to make some extra $$$ teaching some automechanic electrical classes or something. I'd love to learn how to rig up things like that. I'm a fool for electronics, especially electrical monitoring stuff.

But I like dirty sheets.

Yes! The FSM shows the 1.8ltr and 2.7ltr motors have the same bore/stroke and other piston/cylinder information. When I last checked there was very little differences. At some point I was considering getting the 7.7:1 pistons but sheesh, it almost seems impossible to turbocharge this car. Please, someone do it and put up some pics.

I was definite but didn't go because it was raining. I didn't think they would actually dragrace in the rain. Here are some pics! http://home.eznet.net/~carolt/wrx_shootout.htm You guys are nuts! I love it. I'm trying to get someone to post up some videos.

According to the FSM (Factory Service Manual) the XT6 has a compression ratio of 9.7:1.

Thank you! I appreciate it. I save ALL of my Scooby videos.

Videos of an EA82 Leone on the Nurburgring? Can someone PLEASE post a link to this/these videos? I'd love to see them. And hello Marnix! :wave:

I forgot to mention, why don't you read some Motor Trend articles from back in da day? http://www.ptrlabs.com/xt6/articles/motor_trend/ The first page of the Motor Trend article is here: http://www.ptrlabs.com/xt6/articles/motor_trend/MotorTrend1a.jpg This is what it says on the 2nd paragraph to answer your question of is it turbo ready. "Built entirely of aluminum alloys, the single overhead cam six has a great deal of flexibility, given that it can vary in displacement from 2 to 3 liters, accomodate double overhead camshafts, 4-valve cylinder heads, and even turbocharging that would produce over 200 hp, and could be used in the current XT6 chassis." Does that help some?

You need to ask Dave of ProECM.com. Within the last year or so he had his XT6 turbocharged and intercooled with a fuel system his company was/is developing. I don't recall the ignition needing any tweaking. If my memory serves me correct, he was able to run upwards of 8psi or so without an intercooler without detonation. And if my memory serves me correctly, he was running upwards to 12psi of boost and trapping around or post 100mph. No-one has been able to confirm this though. :-\ From my experience, I know I could not run a simple 50hp shot of nitrous without the car going WAY lean. The fuel injectors are only 185cc units and from my calculations can only muster 190hp or so at 50psi which is about 45hp over stock. What do you have in mind/planned? :cool:

You are tasteless! :argue: J/K I guess I am too since I like rice.

Has anyone seen or posted these yet? Gotti Wheels They are fo the Renault Alpine.

Here!

Is there anyone on the board that run say a 50hp shot (or more) of nitrous on any of the older turbocharged scoobies? If so, how does your car perform (Ex: 1/4 mile times and trap speeds, feel, etc). I'm really curious about this and would love to do this on the next scooby I own, preferrably an older turbocharged version. Thanks!

DammitBeavis, The XT6 looks so out of place rally crossing because of its 'futuristic wedge' shape and all. Little do a lot of people know is that it's in its element on the dirt. Nice pics! Mind if I link this post to those folks at the Yahoo and xt6.org sites?

Try high 16's low 17's in auto or mid-high 16's in the manual.

MSD Pulse Width Modulated Water Injection System MSD PWM WATER INJECTION It's $199.99. Looks interesting!

Hello John, Ask these guys: http://xt.zybx.com/index.htm Or these guys: http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/xt6/ They probably can give you a lot of insight on what you need to do to get this to work.

This is good news and I'm glad to read about it. I'm trying to use your experience ang boost pressure as a map for what my XT6 would be capable of if it ever gets turbocharged. 7-8psi non-intercooled on the stock pistons. Woohoo!

For timeslips and such, you can contact a gentleman in Alaska whose name is David Gronemeier. A guy on the Yahoo XT6 forums (named Red#6) told me about him. He has a 1.8ltr XT turbo running mid to high 13 second 1/4 mile times. I'm sure David is using something for fuel management, upgraded injectors or both. David's email address is: Meritage@cgi.net Let me know if it doesn't work because that's what I have at the Subaru 1/4 Mile Registry that I run. Another David (David Gustavsson) of ProECM uses a fuel injection controller on his XT6. It's called a ProECM Fuel Injection M1 #EFIM-1. Stop by the ProECM site to email him for more info about it. I plan on using it on my XT6. Here is info he sent me in July about it. I'm not sure if the unit(s) is ready though. The info is quite long. Good luck! ProECM Fuel Injection M1 #EFIM-1 Reached the fueling limit of the stock ECU? ProECM M1 is the answer, a completely programmable fuel injector controller. The M1 fuel injector controller is a piggyback controller that makes it possible to control extra injectors in a way that only full blown stand alone Engine Management units have been able to do before. The M1 rivals the functionality of a complete Engine Management, but delivered for significantly lowered cost. The ProECM M1 does not use two tables to calculate a 3D surface. It is a completely non-linear system for true non-linear programming. This is a necessity to accomplish exact A/F ratios in all operating conditions. The ProECM M1 installs in parallel with the stock ECU to utilize the stock sensors. This makes for a very flexible and powerful control unit that will define a new era of additional fuel injector controllers. With a very powerful programmable peak and hold drivers, the ProECM M1 is capable of driving both high and low impedance injectors. Sensor Inputs: All these sensor inputs are optional except for the MAP (Intake manifold vacuum hose) and crank trigger. This makes the ProECM M1 very capable, yet very simple to install. a.. Throttle position sensor b.. Intake manifold absolute pressure (MAP sensor) c.. Intake air temperature (IAT) d.. Engine coolant temperature (ECT) e.. Built in pressure sensor up to 20lbs of boost f.. Built in Battery voltage sensing. g.. Auxiliary Analog input 1, can be used for oxygen sensor. h.. Crank trigger. Outputs: a.. 4 channels to control fuel injectors. Up to 4 injectors per channel for a total of 16 injectors. b.. RS232 for data logging. Features: a.. Base map uses 0RPM up to 12400 RPM at 200RPM intervals and 0 to 36lbs of absolute pressure with 17 programming points. 561 Programming points. Linear interpolation between programming points. b.. Base time is programmable between 0-655.35 ms, with 0.01 ms granularity. c.. Data logging functionality. Logs all sensor inputs and RPM. Applications: a.. The ProECM M1 is a universal fuel injector controller designed to be fitted as an additional fuel injector controller that can be fitted on any engine using the sensors desirable for tuning. Includes: a.. Comes with Windows based tuning software b.. RS232 Computer cable. c.. Installation manual and wiring diagrams

Dennis, I'm going to feel like an idiot caravaning up with you guys. I'll be way WAY in the back looking at all the cool scoobies. I don't think either of my subarus will be out of their shops by Sept 13th now. :madder: And even still, if I get my Outback Sport wagon back, it's been in the shop(s) for a full year come 3 more days (August 28th, 2002 dropped off). :boohoo: I'll feel good driving that up but I won't be racing it. If the XT6 gets done by then, I'll probably faint from happines. My heart skips a beat just thinking about it. I'll be following you guys up in a Toyota Matrix.

Back from the dead! You plan on getting any dyno numbers soon? I know you gave us an update but when I asked, I at least wanted you to know why I did. Thanks!
