Hey everyone, I'm Jason.
I live in Minnesota, and have been an active part of the Mitsubishi scene since about 2003. I had the opportunity to buy my friend's BD LGT last year and really couldn't pass up the deal. Here's the low down on my setup.
Engine:
-EJ22T block
-STi rods
-Stock EJ22T pistons
-DOHC EJ25D heads
-WRX oil pan
-EJ22T intake manifold & throttle body
-VF37
-Catless downpipe to full 3" exhaust
-Catless up-pipe
-STi yellow side-feeds
-Wally 255
-'06 TMIC
-TiAL blow off valve
-Opensource tuned (For now)
Drivetrain:
-5-Speed from an '01 Outback :smt085 (ICK!)
-Stock clutch
Suspension:
-Stock WRX springs/struts
-WRX hubs/controls arms (I'm not positive on this one. Can someone verify if this is even possible? I know the WRX subframe and cross-member are on.)
When I bought the car it had nothing on it. Just the motor, no turbo, no parts and rigged exhaust. Amazing it runs so amazing as it's running on the LGT ECU. So I pieced everything else together and am pretty much ready to put everything on.
I'm right in the middle of merging my harnesses. I have the WRX harness pulled apart and labeled, and made a cheater harness for the Legacy out of one I got burnt on last summer. I'm just waiting for the snow to melt so I can pull the boat out and pull my car in to to finish the merge. Should be a fun car, minus the drivetrain disadvantage :/ I'll take care of that this summer.
I really have no idea what kind of power to expect, or what this setup will make. If I were to guess, maybe an optimistic 260awhp. I believe my bottleneck is my fuel system which is why I don't think I'll break 300. But that's just fine for now. My transmission leaks a little fluid, and who knows how long the clutch will last lol. So that just about sums up the car.
I’m working on the start of my build thread, so I can get to the good stuff!
Glad to be here. I've been learning a lot, and am having a lot fun so far. I'll keep the updates coming as best I can. But I’m working on the start of my build thread, so I can get to the good stuff!
