that shift knob? I think its stock, as have seen on other specb. IDK for sure tho. Comments?

It's a Momo shift knob, you could get them from the dealer when purchasing the car.

What BPV you guys running with the Grimmspeed??

 

I got a Perrin, and the vac line out the top is hitting M/C hard line. I've tried rotating the valve but the other side is getting pinched.

I'm using the Cobb XLE with no issues.

The last time I talked to Mikey, the Shop reads about 5-10% higher than EFI. So you probably gained some power, despite what the numbers say (apples to orange comparison). What does the butt dyno say?

You have it backwards, The Shop reads a little lower. But your comparison is correct, the numbers are very similar to my previous tune with lower boost.

If we add the 5% to my numbers from yesterday we get:

297whp

316wtq

So +4whp -3wtq. Negligible difference with -1psi.

I hate talking about dyno numbers this much, as there are so many variables, and they should be taken with a grain of salt anyway. Overall, I would say the car feels very similar to before, even with lower boost. I'm not sure I would notice with a blind test. I would say the boost comes on a little smother, and holds very clean with a taper to 16psi.

Got tuned today by Mikey at The Shop.

Previous numbers w/ Perrin TMIC were 293/319 @19.5psi (EFI Logics)

New numbers w/ Grimmspeed TMIC are 283/301 @18psi (The Shop)

So with lower boost and a lower reading dyno, only lost 10whp/18wtq.

Any tune results yet?

I'll be getting re-tuned on Mar 7th at EFI Logics. Only change tune in July will be the intercooler. I am probably going to run a little bit less boost, but I will post numbers.

Installed mine this last Saturday. Instead of the coating I decided to put some reflective film on it.

Couple of things I noticed. The liner does not go back on to the underside of the hood. It might be able to, but I did not force it as it tears easily. The AC line bracket on the firewall mount is different on the LGT then WRX. There is a lip on the back of it that I needed to grind down to get the mount to angle properly. Here is what I'm talking about:

Otherwise I really like the intercooler and the splitter. Well engineered. What I really love is that you can access all the PIA hoses on the back of the manifold and below it without removing the intercooler. As my little BOV vacuum line got pulled off on the install and I could put it back without touching the IC. Very, very handy.

i had the same issue with the rear bracket. Seems like they didn't even test this for the Legacy. Something like that should have been noticed and the bracket should have been modified.

Just picked up #444:lol: From Westchester NY. Now in the Jersey Shore

Another Jersey Shore spec b!

How much longer? I may need to order a process west instead

I'm thinking the same thing. Hoping to get tuned late July. Is there anywhere to find the PW splitters for the legacy?

From NASIOC:

Sorry for the silence guys, I was out of the office last week and then we were at Wicked Big Meet over the weekend. Part of the delay and lack of updates is that there's nothing particularly interesting to share/show at the moment. One of the reasons that we're taking our time and doing this all right is to avoid the backorder situation that we've had on some recent releases that have been much more successful than we could have dreamed.

 

With in-house manufacturing of very high-end parts like this, it's really not as simple as 'just make more'. We need the welding manpower, the equipment so support those hours, the space for that equipment, the space to store 500+ cores, 1000+ end tanks, the finished products and all associated accessories, packing, etc. Something like this is a MASSIVE undertaking for a small business and we've learned a lot along the way. Rule #1 is to not rush anything to market that we cannot FULLY supply and support. This will be worth the wait, 100%. For those that simply can't wait (and I do understand that sometimes you don't have a choice), I recommend that you pick up your next choice used and then sell it when ours becomes available.

 

Trust me guys, we want to release this worse than anybody and we're doing our absolute best to get them in your hands in a timely manner, but these things just can't happen overnight. We don't have overseas factories with thousands of workers at our disposal; there are ten of us.

 

Thank you for your support and patience! We had a great time meeting a bunch of you at Wicked Big Meet over the weekend and are so thankful that you're being so patient with us. Cheers!

Are you only going to offer a 2 week window with a 50 person limit like how the STI GB started?

There will be a two week window for opting in and a two week window to send payment, no limit.

Is there a more updated projected release date yet?

Unfortunately, nothing accurate. We're having some delays with the casting of the end tanks, but are working through them. I'll update you when I can be confident with a date. Still hoping for a summer release!

Looks great. Suspension & wheel specs?

Hello,

 

I have 307/500

 

Colorado

Avatar pic looks great. Let's see some more!

So from the first Spec B # thread (http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/2006-spec-b-registry-old-22377.html)

 

#296 unknown (Loveland, CO)

#300 spec Bst (Denver, CO)

#314 unknown (Longmont, CO)

 

Back then, people were updating the dealerships where the cars were for sale. As far as I can tell, #296 & #314 are unaccounted for as well. All three listed here started on the front range. Did spec Bst ever reply to you fallenhero?

His production number is only 4 spots away from #305, #304 is unaccounted for. There is a very good chance that's his number. But his # is definitely <305.

Yea unless you have that tiny little plate under the shifter... your screwed. I knew checking the VIN wouldnt really matter because when you type in the VIN at a subaru dealership it doesnt even come up as spec b. Just a legacy gt.

It does matter though. If he can figure out which two VIN's his is in-between, he can get his number.

hey everyone just bought a spec b that came from Colorado but heres the deal the dealer did not have the number for the car this car was in a accident but has a clean title im thinking whoever else had this car at the tie of the accident may have kept the number as a keepsake I know I would have I have contacted soa and they cannot give me the number though the vin number come back as a spec b it is on 06 so im in the right thread any I have the vin if anyone needs it as cross reference. thanks in advance guys

So, I've been doing some digging for you. The last 6 digits in Subaru VIN's are the sequential production line number. I have been searching other 2006 Spec B VIN's and it seems that they were made sequentially on the production line (i.e. 1 was made first, 500 last). This would be great if they were only producing Spec B's, however all the other Legacies were jumbled in there. But the difference in the productions numbers does not vary too much (maybe 5 in-between each Spec B #). If you could find out which two other Spec B VIN's yours is in-between, that would give you your number.

Here's a decent start at some Spec B VIN's: http://legacygt.com/forums/search.php?searchid=12950402 (search 2006 spec in classifieds)

Here's is the Subaru VIN information: http://www.cars101.com/subaru/vin.html

Edit: to add to this, I would go through all the FS threads, find all the VIN's with their respective #'s. Make a list of everything you can find. Then figure out which Spec B #'s your VIN lies in-between. Then if you cannot figure it out from that, PM the members on this list that would further narrow down your search. With enough ground work it can be done.

are your projectors hitting the shroud and preventing them from moving?

 

just something to check because i thought my adjustment screws were effed up for dayys until i realized my projectors were just physically blocked from aiming whichever way because it hit the shroud. so many headaches x.x

I'm thinking its something like this, I'll check tomorrow when I go out to my car.

which was is it off? Pointing in or pointing out?

Passanger was pointing way to the left, across the car. I was able to adjust it a little closer to center, then it stopped moving. Is there anyway the bulb could be not in correctly, and I got to the limit of adjustment?
