Getting rid of my GS TMIC and going to a front mount and wondering if anyone is parting ways with theirs. I'm in Upper MI and I'll cover shipping.

You're the best. Thanks! -
I looked around and couldn't really find a clear answer.. I have a set of TGVs and fuel rails from a top feed setup along with 750cc top feed injectors that I would like to swap onto my 05 LGT as I'm doing a VF52. I see a few fuel line conversion kits but they're for aftermarket rails. What would I really need to make it work with the LGT? DO I just use fuel injection rubber hose to connect everything? Or what would be my best option to hook the factory top feed lines into the factory LGT lines from the FPR? I appreciate the help.

Horrible fuel mileage
Militarybuilt replied to Militarybuilt's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Yea I definitely thought about that, so I cleaned it haha. But unfortunately it didn't help. -

Yea I don't know what program he is using. But I do have a local source that uses an open source program via a tuner in the UK, that may be the ticket too. -

Makes sense. Hopefully he can figure it out, if not I'll be looking for another tuner or sack up and get an actual dyno tune. Downside is I;ll have to drive three hours south to Green Bay as that's the closest Subaru tuner/dyno. -

17-18mpg-ish. Still not great. -

I did a boost leak test the other day and it was solid no leaks. I'll have to get the laptop hooked up again and see what's it's reading for Learning and Correction, I should also get an actual wideband in the car like I should have a long time ago. I'm wondering if it has something to do with having the de-fouler in with the O2 to shut the engine light off? I have the datalog to send to Shinji as well whenever he responds, until then I just wont drive the car. My truck at 12.5mpg is cheaper to drive at this point... -

I don't have a wideband but through the AP I think it's saying 15.5:1, which is a bit rich. -
Horrible fuel mileage
Militarybuilt replied to Militarybuilt's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
That's me trying to baby it back and forth to work and around town. Shifting at 2500, not going over 3700 and cruising at 60-70. -
SO my 05 LGT is getting about 14.5-15.5 MPG. I have the typical bolt on mods, GS TMIC, cobb catted DP, Cobb intake, perrin tube, catless up-pipe, q300 catback. It's been tuned by Shinji with plenty of datalogs but that was last fall. The car sat for two months this spring and when I finally got back to driving it my mileage is bad, real bad. I emailed Shinji but I haven't heard back. Plugs were done last fall before tuning as well. Anywhere I should start? The car idles and runs fine, it's just got an appetite for fuel and at $5.85/gal it hurts.

05 LGT defrost
Militarybuilt replied to Militarybuilt's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Yea I have noticed how warm it gets in there, even with 5% tint all around. I have to keep all the windows closed tight at work or it gets full of red dust (I work at an iron ore mine). -
05 LGT defrost
Militarybuilt replied to Militarybuilt's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
2015 F150. I wish I had a good way of posting pics on here. The truck rides like a dream compared to the LGT, even with a 4" lift and 35s haha. -
05 LGT defrost
Militarybuilt replied to Militarybuilt's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
So I changed the cabin air filter, it was dirty but not crazy. We will see how it goes, I haven't driven the car lately as we just got a ton of snow and my truck is far more comfortable (King Ranch for the win). My windshield heater doesn't work currently either, I'm thinking it's a relay issue as the light on the button doesn't even light up, and the fuse is good, but I have to pull the panel down to get at the relay board. -
05 LGT defrost
Militarybuilt replied to Militarybuilt's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
I can't wait for those sunny days..... We're supposed to get 15-17" of snow over the next 48 hours...... I live in Upper Michigan, when it's sunny this time of year it means it's cold, like below zero cold..... -
05 LGT defrost
Militarybuilt replied to Militarybuilt's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Everything seems to be working fine, but I can't say I've ever checked the cabin air filter, I don't even know where the dang thing is actually. My floor mats (weathertech) do have a bit of snow/ice/water on the drivers side, which I should empty/clean out -
05 LGT defrost
Militarybuilt replied to Militarybuilt's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
No it's taking in fresh air. It does kick the A/C on as well to dehumidify the thing, but as soon as I change it to any other setting the efficiency goes down the tubes and the windows fog quickly. -
05 LGT defrost
Militarybuilt replied to Militarybuilt's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Good call, I'll try auto and see what happens. -
Does anyone else in the north have to keep the defrost on the highest setting constantly to keep the windows from fogging up? I'm in Northern MI and with it being single digits I have to keep it on high all the time. If I switch it to defrost and feet the windows fog up quickly, it's annoying. Anyone else out there?

Heated windshield not working
Militarybuilt replied to Militarybuilt's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
That's my thoughts as well. I'll have to scour the wiring diagrams when I get time.
