i may get mine done before wcss .. but i doubt it need sheet metal -
sounds like my grandma's 90 caddy it loading up and can't burn all the fuel first off get all nice new ngk plugs in it then run around the block go buy a beer or someting at the minimart get home check and reset the timing if needed and change plug wires if you need to i paid 600 for my twagon cause it had a bad cap,rotor,wires. ran like hell oh and the coil tower had a crack in it letting it arc to the nearest ground it could find

lets not forget i am also working on not using a distributor and using a programmable wasted spark ignition system i have lots of ping all the sudden lately retarded the disty for now to see if it helped heh also at almost 250kmiles on the motor i try reallly hard not to hit past 5500 rpm it already sounds like a sewing machine. from running to long be for i could fix the oil pump gaskets

3 wire eventually it will be replaced with a nice wideband unit but is alot more stable and does not drop out like the stock unit did and some of my burping and surging is gone now but i am still running off the stock ecu for now till i am sure i got everything done up right -

mine is cut back enough so the front seats can recline as i often get too tired to drive home after work in the morning and take a short cat nap off the road i took out the rear seats compleatly and the back doors will be welded shut to help reinforce the body i did cut and reuse the window section of the original wagon tailgate makes for one huge back window oh.. and this all being put back together with a stick welder and alot of patience but i did pick up something that should make it alot easier i hope -

well i now have a semi final vr mount... but instead of being at the 10 degree btc that is supposed to be.. i am like at 9 grrr got a tiny bit more tweaking to do with any luck by the end of this week i can at least run it for a bit in the "limp" mode just to make sure i have the base timing right yawn nap time -

well i am still waiting to get a intercooler... ahem with any luck i can zap together the vr mount when i get back from town depends if i fall asleep when i get back home or not really tired yeah i can understand the bounce... but at steady cruise from almost .0 up to almost 5 volt its like watching a tennis match give it a bit of gas and it jumps right up to where it.. should be if your curious what i mean about it maybe being a bit excessive i can send you a datalog of it versus rpm and boost and intake temp and the program to replay it -

well i have o2 and air temp and vacum/boost hooked up and with my temporary tablet puter i am using until my screen shows up for the carputer plugged into the ms i can record the o2 voltage output dam it bounces around alot seems the stock ecu hates modded suby's... intake air temp.. wow scary at 10-11 psi its hits about 210F yipe.... and i did have rpm for a while but then i started getting processor resets from ig nition noise so i have to redo the grounding for the rpm circuit i don't have tps hooked up.. but you are suposed to be able to share that and some other stuff with a few changes.. i should look into it water temp is not hooked up either same reason no tps don't wanna screw around with the stock ecu more than i have already i do know that the ms verify that my junkyard dodge shadow boost gauge is dam near dead on oh hey lookit the time i gotta head to work gotta make moeny so i can try and create more stuff err adapt -

well mr garner i am insane thank you very very much and yes i plan on posting my base timing maps and fuel maps if i ever get bold enough to hook up the rest of the ms to run my injectors heh i don't have the luxury of lots of money or many subies to choose from so i have to be gentle when i mod my drive to work and home again suby -

well mounting the ring to the front of the pulley would require a custom pulley made with extra space for the timing ring to mount on and that could be spendy not to mention every time you change a alternator belt you gotta take off the v.r sensor to get the belt off and on heh i thought about it if i decide to redo this pulley later i will ask to have one made as a interferance fit just like the original ford application i will be makeing a jig that positions the timing ring correctly in relation to how i am making my vr mount so far after 60 miles seems like things are good nothing came loose and i didn't notice any "extra" vibrations.... so nothing added to the usuall one's is a good thing made a few more parts at work last night so i can finish the sensor mount when i get the chance prolly in a day or 2 you people who liek to drown your subies in creek beds and stuff.. hehe may want to think about this since its not as prone to water problems as a regular distributor system and for redundancy if the controller dies the edis module reverts back to a limp home mode where it will run at a fixed timing of 10 deg btdc also at lower rpms say idle to 2500 or so i think .. it is after all programamble with the controller it functions as a multispark unit just like a msd box after a preset rpm it is no longer multispark and at higher rpms ms is pretty much usless anyways so far the only real downside is that as far as i know no one has come up with a working knock sensor for this do it yerself project on a normal subie engine thats not a huge problem but on turbo's it can be but my saab apc turbo controller should take care of that or it should with any luck by friday i should be idleing off this setup and hopefully into the ignition tuning phase of it i will leave the stock subaru ecu to control fuel for now.. less head ache to tune 2 systems at the same time then after i get the ignition semi tuned i will start running the megasquirt to also take care of fuel right now its just hooked up as a really fancy datalogger so i can see how badly the stock ecu manages fuel... and well lets just say.. yike's ! i think there is more i was gonna ramble on about but i forgot .. anyways any question or whatnot you can get me on msn underthis email i use on the board look in my profile or yahoo and aim its my usmb name oh yeah no i remember another benefit is with out a disty the drivers side timing belt should last a bit longer i plan to leave my disty in place but not wired up for about a month or 2 i figure if after a month or 2 the system has not failed then i don't need the disty as a back up but people who do alot of off road and stuff. might wanna leave theirs in just in case.. something fails edis module ,coil pack ect prolly won't happen but.. a failure in town is not as bad as one out in the boonies 30 miles from a parts store -

its actually really light i would thing the amount of steel thats lost by machining the puley down for it to fit over just about comes out even.. i did forget to weigh the dam thing.. oops -

heh if anyone up i pdx has a lathe and better welding skills than me <still learning> and wants to help me redo the welds on the crank pulley and then clean it up on a lathe so its a bit better balanced than just using a grinder on it to cleanup the welds let me know might be nice to also clean up the backside of the waterpump pulley as well ...its really really ugly so far the trigger wheel has with stood several sprints to 4500 rpm .. residential area after all... i will see how well it does on a half hour steady state rpm i hope the thing is not to far out of balance and breaks loose i hope to finish makeing some of the parts i need to mount the vr tonight at work where i have accsess to a drill press oh and i am sure you all can guess why i asked shadow to help me write this up since my typing skills are .. hehe nonexsistant thanks shadow and thanks garner for the nifty pulley work ! -

well i know mine is paid.. er traded for hey zap since i will have that large roling cooler and dry ice you want to maybe chill the mugs first?.. just a idea -
uh small wire running to the front.. my guess is that small wire was used to trip a relay to then power up fog lights btw relay powering extra lights of anykind is pretty much the ideal way to do it less wires running backa nd fourth full voltage and amperage instead of losing some of it to a switch and long wire runs less chance of a fire or a short
