Good stuff. Read rules before lock.

[Soul Shinobi]

Good to see you're finally on here, Paige. :razz: What weight did we remove from the engine? When we saved a couple pounds going to the older style intake?

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2010/12/DSC03676252832529-1.jpg
also plotting to figure out how to cram more power under the hood. Right now it is a 2.0 turbo vs SVX swap.

[SeriousSubaru]

TURBO? :smt023

I went over a speed bump at one point of another and later my car started running really crappy.

This is what I found...

welded in a straight pipe and called it good!

[Navi271]

What?! lame! that sucks... One of my friends hit an ice chunk on the road and it did the same thing.
Glad it was an easy fix tho.

[Soul Shinobi]

If you say so, I was the one doing all the welding, hahaha. Yeah it worked out alright. :smile:

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/03/2011032020182004-1.jpg
New wheels, New steering wheel, new seats, new subwoofer, new axle back... Lots more coming soon too!

your car is pretty sick! I haven't made any progress with my eg33 yet. I am working out obdII compliance requirements before I start wrenching. I'm also contemplating turbos and hybrid blocks.

[SeriousSubaru]

Totally changing dirrections and turboing my car. Right now I'm collecting parts.
Trying to decide what turbo to use for my 5psi project. Cant decide between my td04 and a vf11

[SeriousSubaru]

Dyno'd my car today, got pretty good numbers from a ball buster dyno :smt023

Productive day today!

[Soul Shinobi]

Awesome shots!

[97scoob]

i knew that building looked really familiar, kinetic is right by my house. never been in, but i drive by all the time. car looks good btw

[afterbangin]

what's your other ride? i just finished building up a brand new ns majesty and i'm really diggin it.

oh, that car doesn't look half bad either!

[SeriousSubaru]

This is my growing parts pile

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/06/DSC_0008JPG-1.jpg

Showing off the interior changes, running oil temp, pressure, and boost/vacuum.
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2010/11/DSC_0010JPG-1.jpg

Test fitting and looking at clearances. Discovered I need to move my a/c line because it will interfere with the downpipe.
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/06/DSC_0003JPG-1.jpg

[Zac]

why are you running an OEM downpipe?

[Soul Shinobi]

Because I said I won't work on his car or be his friend if he doesn't have a cat because I like breathing air slightly more than I like driving cars. :grin: And because fitment is easy.

[SeriousSubaru]

so I added folding mirrors and a hood scoop but i got a porsche. Turbo? what turbo? Ohhh yeah I guess I should keep working on that :razz:

[anothernord]

Cool. Make sure to take tons of pictures of the turbo build.

[SeriousSubaru]

Up pipe being fabbed by Kinetic Motorworks
when I get the car back the fun part of plumbing can begin

[SeriousSubaru]

car comes home tomorrow. Shop called and informed me that they pimped my uppipe (full SS mandrel bent w/ custom mounting brackets)

Tomorrow the build will start I guess. No snow in the forecast so I can keep driving my porsche.

anyways here is my hit list for tomorrow:
-install ghetto rrfpr (till I save up for e-man)
-install fuel pump
-tap the valve cover for oil return
-t-off coolant lines
-install new up pipe
-install turbo
-install down pipe
-figure out what I still need for my intercooler (custom y-pipe, BOV/BPV, couplings)
-lay out my intake

[SeriousSubaru]

so close yet so far away.....

plumbed everything for the turbo. Bolted up the custom uppipe..... went to put the turbo in place annnnnnnd this:

BOOOOOSH! 45* rotated turbo set up!

what I wanted was a stock turbo location and orientation.

[SeriousSubaru]

So I have been super busy with my car while I have been away.
Converted to rear wheel drive.
Blew up the motor by hydro locking it
picked up an engine from some on the site
found everything I needed to finish my turbo build
oh changed over to coilovers

I also came up with a huge list of things i want to do to it in the future. Few things to prep it for some mad drifting!

First post updated
