^^thank you to whoever moved this to a New York/New Jersey thread which is no where near where this happened

Saw an 05-06 ABP sedan with 4 dudes in it that had bright orange wheels. Had Ontario plates on it, just wondering if you're on here.

 

Spotted on I-75 just north of Cincinnati.

edit I am stupid^^

So can a 07-14 model STI brake booster and MC be used for this mod or does it need to be an 04-05?

Sweet thread! Just wondering what the philosophy behind putting vaccuum values in the target boost table is. I actually just filled my first column in this table to -.5 to try to cure my stumble, but I also read somewhere that the car is essentially running 100% duty cycle untill it reaches the spring pressure anyway...

 

Instead of messing with O2 sensor scaling you should check out the CL fueling comp (load) tables. You can adjust the fueling targets to whatever you want depending on revs and load...

Might as well just go rotated...no inlet needed

To me a slight whistle is fine. You can hear something similar if you drive next to big rigs with your windows down. An aftermarket DP will accentuate this noise. What's bad is a constant whine/super high pitched whistle that happens even when revving in neutral or driving at low loads.

Haha yeah I'm pretty particular about my gas stations too. I think they make simple test kits who his basically just a test tube that has a fill line and % graduations. You fill it up and let it sit and the ethanol will seperate from the gasoline so you can determine percentages. I know this works for e85, but I would assume it would work for normal gas too.

Yeah it's probably a combination of the denser air and the additives they put in winter blend gas... I think they put addition ethanol in winter blend which would definitely cause it.

I noticed that you're into tuning for mpg's... Have you ever tried messing with the CL load compensation table? You can find the load and rpm that you cruise at most often and set the additive in those cells to negative so the car will actually run slightly leaner and theoretically save gas. The previous owner of my car had it tuned this way and I have run 15.5 AFRs on the highway with no noticeable issues... Might be a tad risky with all of the avcs advance you are running but if you can monitor your egts it might be worth a shot... Just food for thought!

Hey, good lookin LGT! We might have enough locals to start a mini meet one day .

 

Just curious, how many miles did you have when the ringland went? I've got 95k on the stock shortblock and I think its getting tired...

Any of you swappers running an oem 6mt clutch? Would it hold 350wtq?

 

Any way I could reuse my aftermarket 5mt clutch or is that for pull style wrx 5mt's only?

Great thank you! And this would be to give the heavier R180 more support and a better fitment "notch" to reduce clunking, correct?

Sorry thats what I meant by rear differential member. Since the newer STI/WRX is based on the Legacy, I was wondering if I could get a used one instead of a new spec b one....Both are aluminum and both are supporting an R180.

 

I'm having a friend measure the distance between the mount on his 13 WRX to see if its the same size as mine. Since I'm on a budget I'd much rather spend $30 on a used STI one rather than $130 on a new spec b mount since its a non-essential part. Thoughts?

Is the Impreza r180 rear differential member the same as the spec b? I can get a used STI one for about a quarter of the price of a new oem spec b one.

So I'm guessing the S402 grill will retain the OE Subaru badge?

Does anyone have a spec.B shifter they can measure for me? I just bought a '10 STi shifter and wanted to confirm that the shifter stays/rods are the same length and are indeed compatible with our cars.

 

edit: ^^KC you forgot the $400 DCCD controller too

So does the EAT driveshaft bolt up to the R180 diff or will the input flange need to be changed? What all is involved in doing this?
