Well here it goes.

 

I have an 05 legacy gt.

 

I can not get a solid answer on what tube will fit.

 

There is some info indicating that 05 is different than all other years.

 

The killer b tube dose not list a part for 05 only 06 plus

 

I purchased this moroso and it says it fit but there is debate around that as well.

 

Moroso 24965 Oil Pump Pickup for Subaru EJ 20/EJ 25 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005PX0SAO/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_D6QB59KK1H127PPRTV3C

 

I really don't want to pull my pan and find out I have the wrong part.

 

Any help is appreciated, and a write up on pulling the pan would not hurt.

 

My car is on ramps and I have concerns about pulling the subframe in this state.

 

Thanks Joe

Depends on where the leak is I guess, I have sedan but I had stock downpipe and mid with nameless 5 inch mufflers,

 

It was pretty tame , I'm guessing with a downpipe would be a bit louder

Someone very recently had an episode where the Cobb AP wouldn't connect. I forget what they found but possibly similar?

It was me. It was definitely mechanical, I plugged in and unplugged the odb port about 100 times and some wiggling and it finally connected.

 

If I have trouble again I will be re pinning the odb port

Very nice progress this would have taken me somewhere between 3 months and never

I'm wondering why you couldn't T the hose into another hose, and plug that broken nipple.

There is a picture of the vacuum hose set up here some where, it's also in the back of the service manual.

Thank you that is a good pic

 

I was wondering the same thing , my only thought was that as it's vapor return it should be independent.

 

Also what I did notice is that port is connected to a "straw' that terminates about dead center inside of the manifold.

 

I will get a pic tomorrow when I'm near the car.

Well 36 views and nothing but crickets, this tells me at least no one has a strong opinion about it and probably has not been done.

 

Going to give it a shot then

As I'm replacing vacuum line I find I do not care for how Subaru did this at all.

 

I also have and aftermarket fpr, and fuel damper that both require a vacuum reference.

 

I really just want to run an aftermarket manifold and direct lines to each system.

 

Any reason why this is a bad idea ?

 

Thanks

That port should not have a bother with slightly different size.

You can likely get some brass or stainless hardline and epoxy it in there. I would get something slightly larger than the hole ID. Drill in a step. start seating the hard line... Schmoo on some epoxy or JBweld then press the rest of the way.

That's what I was hoping, best I could tell it is the exit of the purge valve bringing fuel vapor into the intake

Does that whole piece possibly come out of the intake....maybe replace it?

 

If not, I would find a male barbed fitting that you could thread in there and put some epoxy on it (not a lot) right before you send it.

It looks like it comes out but I'm not sure nor could I find a replacement

Welp help please

As expected all the vacuum hoses on the underside of my intake manifold are petrified and cracking in half.

 

In my attempt to remove this on it snapped the nipple right off.

 

I wonder how sensitive this port is to diameter , was hoping I could just tap or epoxy a new nipple on.

 

Thanks

Good deal , I wasn't here for the whole build and even I was a bit crushed when it went boom !

 

Such an awesome build.

 

Basically every bush in my rear needs replaced, it taking it all like this the way to go ?

 

Write up anywhere ?

 

Thanks

Good progress today.

 

Next up will be

port and coat exhaust manifold

Install exhaust manifold and up pipe

Install turbo and down pipe

Install turbo blanket and heat shield

Install turbo inlet

 

Look at the difference in the stock downpipe, the stocker is criminal

Getting busy today.......holly cow the downpipe , exhaust manifold is so easy to get to on these cars

 

Never will I go back to VAG cars...vw/Audi

Fuel system finally mocked up, will do a write for the whole top feed conversion and flex fuel install when I'm finished.

We have these things called pack rats here, and if you give them any reason to come around they destroy stuff well before they die I couldn't even count the customers with messed up cars.

 

Sometimes the only solution was to leave the hoods open

Is the car parked outside or inside ?

 

You may want to use some Tomcat mouse blocks. I find they do a good job of keeping mice out of the house, sheds and cars.

This works if you have a station away from the car, the best thing is to zip tie a bundle of dryer sheets in a couple places under the hood as well as a few under the seats.

 

Irish spring soap chunks work also but much harder to place them, better for a car that doesn't move much

I have not seen a used one for sale from any company that looks decent to be honest.

 

It might be worth it to coat the new bar in por15 and at that point any brand would probably be ok.

 

White line seems to be the most reviewed

I have been looking for somewhere to relocate to, me and my wife where talking the other day and I realized no one ever talks about Indianapolis, or Indiana for that matter, never on the news, never met anyone from there.

 

I figured that is a good thing.

 

What is it like there and would you recommend it for a family with young kids ?

 

Thank you and sorry for going off topic

Cool car , I'm doing something similar, not really rally but just how a Subaru was meant to me used.

 

My advise ...new struts, and bushings everywhere.

 

If you are planning and dirt's roads go with OEM and not something similar.

 

I did kyb OEM struts , original springs, 1/2 Saggy but spacer , and it handles dirt and gravel well.

 

Honestly not a whole lot else to add except for maybe some more armor underneath, at least a diff plate

I have a nameless axle back, it got great and I have faith in there products, imagine you will here back soon, my experience was very positive

There is a lot of " magic" involved in getting and exhaust sitting right.

 

Always blows my mind when I go to a shop they get all sitting so much better than I ever do

Return lines , going to try and finish up the supply

DAMD D shape wheel still available and lowered the price to $300 + shipping. This was one of the best upgrades I made to my Outback.

Ya really wish I didn't have an 05, the cost of having to buy a complete 08 wheel and bag is killing me, specially just to canabalize it
