I have a intercooler from a 1996 Jetta TDI that I bought for just that sort of thing. It isn't too big but has a thick 3" core so it would cool really well without taking up very much space.Let me know if you are interested in something like that.

The problem with rebuilding turbo's is that after they are apart they will need to be balanced dynamically.I have rebuild a couple of turbos and it is a good idea to have a stand to be able to balance them on.Very easy to rebuild a turbo but...if you do not balance it chances are it will not last as long.There is a company I can refer you to located in golden,co.They rebuild turbo's and such and are fairly resonable on prices and are very good.Good luck. http://www.turboengineering.com/

I am not sure but someone correct me if I am wrong:Hydraulic clutchs usually don't fade very much before they go like the standard mechanical ones I have noticed.I could be wrong but I would probbly just replace it.

Very nice Shawn.Glad to see her out in the open air.Are you still looking for parts?I haven't seen anything lately just had to ask. Nice Job!

Hey Jeff did you find an engine?How many miles does this one have?I would definately say do the timing belts and also cam seal as said before.And if you can do your water pump first before install since that is a pain as you showed me.

Sad to say Jeff just blew a rod on his 6.I got some new ideas for him and his car as soon as we locate him an extra engine.

Ummm dual webers is what I am in the process of working on right now.I am trying to figure out what is the best design for the adapter plates.Since the carbs are much bigger than on the dual hitachi's they need to be off-set about 1.5" or so.If you find adaters and anything that leads me to a general ballpark idea of what jets to run let me know please.That would save me a whole lot of time.

Hey Jeff is your car at home with you now or do you need help getting it?Did it just all of the sudden happen or did it start running rough?Man I am sorry to hear that!:-\

Holy crap are you serious?!!After you came by where I work?When did it happen and at what rpm range?

Congrats to you and your wife on your son who is about to be born.We will have to find him a little subaru outfit.

That sounds like a good time to do it.June would work for me.

Yep Jibs has a sweet pair of tube doors on his brat.

All I can say is WOW.That is alot of stuff.

I like it that looks nice!Good job.

Hey I would really like to see if we can set something up for us old school subaru people of colorado and a couple of the surrounding states.Any chance we could have a meet/swap/off road thing?I noticed I have gotten quite a bit of stuff piling up from my junkyard runs and I thought there may be stuff I have that others may need and vise versa.Just wanted to put this out there and see what the rest of you thought.Something this summer would be cool.Don't really have the time to set something up but I would like to see who has some ideas.

Sounds like it may be inside the tranny.Drain the trans fluid and check for particles and such.

The ea82 intake that you will need is one off of a carbed car.85-87 is the right years I think.Also the gaskets are the same you may have to do some trimming on the gasket to make sure it doesn't restrict airflow on the ea82 intake.

Sounds pretty cool.I have been thinking of doing something like that.What type of blue bulbs did you use?

Head should be decked .005-.010".If you want some performance then now is the time to get the heads polished.I know that wjm said there isn't a whole lot of room to do major port work so if you decide to do this be careful.Also I have a turbo spider intake of a 87 xt turbo if you need one.Good idea to do the build up yourself rather than to find out later what else went wrong.

Looks very nice!I may have to do something like that with my hatch.Anyone else do something similar?

Good for you on your wife letting you auto cross.I would think it would be best to manual shift the trans when you can.So that you can choose when it shifts rather than your tranny shifting when you dont want it to.Could be a matter of making the turn fast or not.Good luck.

You could go to the bike parts store and get a cable that is ofted used for derailers and brakes ect.You can get a cable bracket that will let you hook the 2 together to give you more length.May not be the answer you were looking for but just an idea.

Man I would love a d/r tranny like that!!! Could you imagine a ej22t mated to that thing?That would be phenomenal! Can anyone say 33" super swamper boggers on a legacy with that! Pictures like that should not be allowed!Now I want one too badly.Just kidding I am glad to see that.Now I know what I will do if I ever go visit new z or Australia.

Hey Tom,I have never been to that one before.Where is that one located at?Thanks:)

Sounds pretty cool.One thing you would be limited to is the weight.That is the one down side.I thing you would be better of with a larger displacement suby motor.Maybe a ER27 or EG33.
