FAQ: Subaru Legacy 2.5i
katalyst replied to katalyst's topic in Naturally Aspirated Powertrains (2.5i, 3.0R, 3.6R)
updated FAQ to include a comment on tuning with link to NORULZleggy's thread on his experience. -
haha wow, I'm surprised that some of the members are still around. I haven't been that active lately and admittedly probably didn't visit the forum for a period of like 2 yrs but been lurking again recently. I do still have the Legacy surprisingly but it's seen better days
-
that is a really good deal, adds a lot of appeal at a low cost. did you just apply thinset to the drywall itself or do you need to put a backerboard of some type on first?
-
wow that granite accent looks awesome. DIY??? if so.....how is that done?

definitely research all your options. it's a free market and whatnot but i might consider alternative products aside from megan racing. -

^ bolt-ons will net you very little gains, in terms of power at least. generally you'll get more value for upgrades to the suspension. -
unbelievable riding and racing skills

haha ouch, i didn't realize that the ducatti had so many issues...

lowering springs recommendations/suggestions please
katalyst replied to teducci's topic in Suspension/Brakes
i've seen that combo before on a sedan. the wheel gap looks good, but the rear tends to sag a bit, i'd recommend the rear shim plates -
i just took a look at these, really have to say i was impressed, particularly with the kitchen. were all the renovations DIY?
-
nice, looks like it's turning out pretty good i had the same situation, my house is from the 60s, was a complete pile of crap when i picked it up. kinda hard to tell with the colors since i'm just getting a glimpse in each photo but fwiw, my main floor bathroom is about that shade of blue and my kitchen is a similar shade of green.

i disagree with this statement, this forum is far from degenerating into what nasioc has become. staff and members here have been pretty good for the most part in keeping this forum one of the better ones out there.

hmmm.......i haven't come across that issue before or read about it yet. maybe check the longterm care/maintenance section of the forums to see if someone has posted about it before? -

i think the first question to ask is, other than some bling; what is your objective in trying to install the CAI ? -

i don't doubt that with a lot of monetary and time investment that sort of powerplant could be build with the current block. the tuner/shop would really have their work cut out for them and there would probably be a long period of teething issues to sort that engine out with the myriad of changes occurring. the biggest issue however though, is even if you could build a defacto sti engine swapping all parts in, the transmission you have isn't rated for that kind of power output, so.......you'd probably be looking at swapping in the sti trans too, so you might as well just grab the entire drivetrain from an sti and put it into the shell of the legacy, probably save you a ton of headache with the turbo, pistons and troubleshooting a new engine etc. i mean if you're willing to go that far, you'd be way better off selling the 2.5i and purchasing a legacy spec b, already having the STi trans from the factory and then just go stage 2 off that. save you an incredible amount of headache and money. essentially, you're starting with the incorrect foundation/platform if 300+whp is where you want to go with your mod direction. if turbocharging is still something your interested in for modest gains, i'd definitely suggest checking out paul hansen's turbo install on the avo outback, the link is on the sticky under the power section, otherwise it's prob not too far down on the first page of the normally aspirated section. -

hmm that'd prob be a question for a tuner, they would probably have to evaluate the definitions and see if the injectors are a limiting factor in the fuel tables. but to be honest this is an area i'm not too familiar with. -
