As soon as i do my VF39 setup in MY02 WRX WAGON this one will go under the wrench and receive the tdo4 turbo from the wagon...apparently the td04 is the upgraded turbo for this car! also might be adding a different tmic!:up: That is all for now....oh and soory for the ranger in the background...LOL

PICS OR IT DIDN"T HAPPEN! I got back from Bangor at 12:20 and got pics still after 7 hours of driving round trip and loading and unloading of a Phase II RS motor from CRolla for a project with a budy's car(WHO I MUST CONVINCE TO JOIN! At this point he can't say no anymore.) You better have pics by morning or we'll tell your girl you're being mean to us!

thanks man, I've been doing research like crazy and I wanna do this the right way :up: first is to fix the brakes, and while doing that I'll be upgrading the pads, rotors, brake fluid, ect... instead of using oem quallity stuff. going more high performance :) and the shifter linkage bushings :spin: then the body work...

this shifter is sloppy compared to my wrx :lol:

[Berge56]

Nice meng! I like it! I think I need to find an SS...

[Bu11dogg2]

Drive it to the portsmouth meet next month so I can see it :)

[RCKSTR]

Looks good!

thanks, I've got some work to do to it but have a huge lack of motivation lately :lol: well thats actually normal for me :o

I've been thinking and thinking about what I want to do with this car. I've decided I want to try this car out in the hill climbs. that means I need to start working on the suspension and brakes first. don't need alot of power for that when I'm just starting off but I will need to grip and stop :spin:

From the factory this car is a 16 second car in the 1/4 mile. I'd also like to make it a 13 second car :) As most of you know I like to drag race a lil more than others :lol: my plan for that is a turbo upgrade, sti side feeds in 1.8L fuel rails, walbro FP, GC fmic, down pipe, and I'd like to get a N1 style exhaust for the legacy since I think it'd look different for that body style :devil:

but ya I've allready priced out the premium Centric pads and rotors from my work and with the tune-up I need to do I'm looking at around $250 alltogether... plus getting the car registered and inspected, maybe around $500 total?

not sure just yet.

oh ya and also I need some all seasons OR winter tires for my spare set of 16" wrx rims :unamused: anyone got any RE92s :lol:

[GOT+PSI]

lets go motivation boy... lol i can't work on my car but would still like to work on cars... lets do it up

[RCKSTR]

lets go motivation boy... lol i can't work on my car but would still like to work on cars... lets do it up

Well I got a lil motivated today. Cleaned out the car today to see what was in the trunk. Lots of **** :lol: a cople starters, an alternator, 4 door cards w/ leather accents, extra trunk carpet, turbo coolant tank, turbo heatshield chimney in great shape, owners manual, fender intake thing, and a few other small things that I can't remember :lol:

cleaned out the interior and tried to figure out where I want to mount the boost gauge I've had for a while. Still brand new in box :up:

next thing once I do actually get tires is paint my wrx stockers and put them on. But what color...

[Psychoreo]

Hey if you're looking for a V4 STI top mount in the mean time before the FMIC lemme know....happen to have one sitting on my shelf :)

I love these old leggies!!!!

I'd rather do oem or aftermarket when it comes to these kinds of things. don't need a weld breaking when I'm trying to shift :lol:

Fully six speed swap? Just say'n... It's an idea and a good one.
:hide: if one can afford it.

Yeah I understand. Just thinkin about the "on the cheap" side.. And if a weld is done right, it shouldn't ever break as it's not like you'd be tryin to slam the shifter through the dash.. lol.. Anyway to get pics as I wanna see how different it is. =)

not sure why he put the circle in the center though

I kinda like the black hood/trunk idea so I'll probubly just repaint the hood, trunk and roof gloss black! and redo the body.... I don't know, just red for the bottom half? think I'll just stick with that idea :spin:

right rear on the roof is where I'd put it... don't think white would look good with that body style though :unamused:

I wanna do something different from the others, when I start driving the thing I'll figure something out :spin: once my grandparents leave for florida that is :D then I'll have plenty of time in that heated garage to do all my **** :spin: and take time figuring out stuff...

hmmm where to put it :spin:

think I'll just mount it to the steering column like I did for heaths way back...

[RCKSTR]

and another thing, I want this thing to stand out of the croud... what turbo setup should I go with?? I really want to see what this motor can do with just boltons... I've heard it'll handle just past 300 at the wheels and thats with the junk heads...

stock location, lil rotated setup, ect... I know my way around custom stuff so it wouldn't be a problem at all. worked on Heaths jdm motor more than a few times and this 2.2 turbo setup is the same for location with the intake manifold/intake setup :cool:

plus when (not if) I blow this motor, I've got a complete 2.2t to take its place :lol:

but what to do, I've been thinking of the usdm sidefeed injectors, walbro, full 3"turbo back, keep changing my mind with the intercooler setup since I love fmic's, thinking the PP6 for EM, ect... just like the title states... ever changing project even before its on the road and legal :unamused: :lol:

[Spilner]

Justin for that car get the full 3" TBE, usdm sidefeeds, and a fmic. That factory hood scoop is garbage I'd be surprised if much air actually got to the i/c. For the turbo I have an 18g laying around I was going to use but I'd recommend something similar. I'd steer away from ihi turbos like the vf22 like Ed suggested, iirc they're aren't rebuildable and you cant get much more efficient turbos for the money.

[squeethebee]

I was just listing the best VF turbo, I would love to see an fp green or something.

hmmm ya that was what I was thinking too. oem hood scoop is a joke :lol:
I've got a fetish now for FMIC's, 18g sounds like a good time, think I will take that route now :cool:
I'm thinking whatever fmic you go with will most likely be my best bet aswell... just gotta figure out that intake setup, theres a few on ebay that have both the fmic setup AND the intake like the one that Heath has on his jdm motor :cool: now I just have to search around and see if I can find it again :lol: but I'll do that tomorrow since I have to finish my laundry and head to bed... damn work in the morning :spin:

[Spilner]

Ahh gotcha

and Justin fwiw there's a guy out in colorado running a gt35r on a ej22t hybrid(ej22tsb and 98 DOHC heads) in an Impreza with north of 400awhp on a stock block. He runs over 20psi daily and 30-something at the track. He's had that setup for awhile now.

You may want to look into that as well. Honestly though if it were me I'd do the brakes so it's running nice then address the suspension. The suspension from a 18 year old car isn't going to be fun to drive on. Then I'd start going for more power.

might as well do 20g over 18g. price is almost the same, but make sure u get the tdo5 not the tdo6

I'm thinking DW injectors, walbro, turbo back (custom fab'd to fit the legacy chassis length difference), fmic, PP6 for EM, I want 4pot 2pots for this with the 6 spoke rs wheels... and from there on I'm not sure what else I want for this thing...

we shall see what kinda $$ I have available for this project :lol:

I've been going through all the mods I'd like to get for this car and I'm shooting for 350awhp as the power goal for this lil ol'leggy :wub:

the shopping list as of right now is... 740cc DW injector w/ walbro combo, water/meth kit, 18g, ect...
and all of this should be installed by spring time but we all know how I get... :hide:

since I've got nothing going on tomorrow I'll be doing all my tune-up stuff to the SS while the weather is ABOVE freezing :up:

not sure what else to do really, I've got an oil change, plugs, wires, fuel filter, ect... to do to this rig because I'm sure it needs all that ****

these plugs are going to be sooooooo easy to do compaired to the dohc heads :lol:

They are probably fine. Worst case, if they feel stuck, CRC Freeze Off man. Works so good on aluminum stuff and its flammable, so even if it gets in the cylinder, it'll burn off.

I'm not sure when I'll be doing this but it shoud be sometime soon once I have a heated garage to use...
