  1. Installed this, ran it for about 5k miles and took it out for a smaller more transient responsive turbo.

     

    It was run with an external wastegate and had the flapper closed with a grim speed bracket that got switched over to the next turbo I installed. I’ve had this in storage for quite a while so I dont have the wastegate actuator anymore that came with it.

     

    This is a nice turbo, it has a Garrett ball bearing cartridge and I had SoCal porting do a port job on it.

     

    500 obo + shipping

     

     

    I’ve moved on from the Subaru/EJ platform so I’m just trying to get all the parts I have kicking around out to the community as cheap as possible. Message me if you have any questions, it keeps saying invalid file when i try to upload pictures. I can give my phone # to anyone that DM’s me and text over pics.

  2. I don’t own a pc and i cant get the images to upload here i have it listed on Nasioc and the images are uploaded on their image server car is dirty af right now apparently I should’ve waited a day or two to clean it before listing lol

    Background:

     

    Had the car for over 5 years now, had a lot of fun and planned on keeping it but after relocation to Los Angeles I’ve decided to let it go. Lack of time and emissions is forcing me to let it go.

     

    Car is currently registered and insured, my previous residence didn’t require biannual smog check, just one at initial registration for change of ownership. Any new owner in California will be responsible for smog.

     

    I’d like to sell the car as is and would be willing to drive it for delivery within 1000 miles give or take with a negotiated price for doing so. That being said if nobody bites on it I’ll eventually part it out.

     

    Tuned by yimi sport I cant remember the exact numbers but it was around 320 awhp and 320 awtq on 91 and 380 awhp 400 awtq on e85.

     

    I found it a real pain in the ass to switch between 91 and e85 without flex fuel so after the initial 10k miles after the tune I haven’t run anything but 91 because of the hassle. There are options now for flex fuel on this vehicle. I believe Cobb and delicious tuning have offerings.

     

    If there is a serious buyer that wants more info on the tune and dyno graphs etc I can request it from Paul at yimi sport.

     

    What’s currently installed on the vehicle and approximate mileage on parts:

     

    Cobb accessport

    EJ257 block with drop in cp pistons (99.5) (rebuild was done about 100k miles ago)

    ACL bearing kit

    ARP head studs

    Rotella 5w40 every 3k with oem filter

    Infamous oil lines with filter

    AEM 320lph fuel pump for e85 compatibility (40k miles)

     

    Invidia catless downpipe (40k miles)

     

    Nameless performance catback exhaust (at the moment I have the 3” nameless midpipe on it with oem mufflers to make it quieter but it takes maybe 20 minutes to put the mufflers on they are the quietest mufflers nameless made for the outback I cant remember which size they were. With the full nameless exhaust on this it is extremely loud and obnoxious it sounds like a wrc car.) (40k miles)

     

    I also have an oem midpipe and adapter for the 3” downpipe that can be run with the nameless mufflers that’s kind of an in between but the oem muffler on nameless midpipe is the quietest.

     

    Drivetrain:

     

    Full sti 6 speed swap out of a 2014 sti that was wrecked according to seller it had 15k miles on it at time of wreck but I was not able to confirm. I only ran motul gear oil in this trans and differential

     

    Exedy oem sti clutch with resurfaced flywheel just done 3k miles ago (I bought the flywheel new 40k miles ago when doing swap)

     

    6 speed trans

     

    Oem front axles

     

    R180 rear diff out of same sti that trans came out of

     

    Spec b rear axles (oem cost $900 from dealer) that allow you to keep your 5x100 hubs(40k miles)

     

    Driveshaft came off of 2007 automatic outback

     

    White line rear diff lockdown inserts

     

    Redline shift boot.

     

    Group n trans and engine mounts (40k miles)

     

    BC racing coil overs set to oem height (I lived and worked on rough roads and wanted a stiffer suspension for handling but maintain driveability on dirt roads) They are adjustable and can be lowered or raised a little higher. (40k miles)

     

    Rallitek front skid plate its aluminum and its a must have for people that live on bad roads.

     

    Cross trek OEM wheels with oem Yokohama geolandars they were takeoffs they have maybe 5k miles on them.

     

    Interior:

     

    I used this car as my daily driver for years and work vehicle for a little while when my truck was down, it didn’t do any towing or anything but i would load all my tools in the back and on weekends my dogs would be in it. I replaced the seats and front door cards from a donor outback about 30k miles ago but its far from a perfect interior. No tears in the seats or anything but there’s scratches and some stains etc. one door card in the rear is pretty banged up.

     

    Ill throw in the oem dog divider if anyone wants it.

     

    Just got a new fuyao windshield about 10k miles ago. I had a fuyao for about 70k miles prior to this one and I have nothing bad to say about their quality.

     

     

    The bad:

     

    Trying to merge into a lane a large pickup truck decided he didn’t want to let me in and pushed my bumped off on the front left corner it broke a couple tabs but most just popped off there is a small scrape where it was pushed. I was able to pop it back on literally right when it happened. It has been on the car for over 20k miles now and no issues but I bought a spare with some peeling clear coat to paint/replace it.

     

    The paint has some clear coat fading and the body has some dents and dings nothing too serious.

     

    Car runs and drives fine light knock when cold none when warmed up but with 100k on a forged piston setup it does consume oil when you push it hard. When I drive around like an old man I can go 3k miles without any oil consumption. I have the pistons for the rebuild included in the price of this.

     

     

    Parts that are not installed on vehicle:

     

    Brand new cp pistons 99.75 bought for a rebuild with rings etc original box just opened to check for damage and look at shiny new pistons.

     

    Used defi boost gauge with all wiring and necessary parts for install

    Brand new defi egt gauge

    Brand new two port face for cubby gauges

     

    Brand new Crawford AOS its been sitting in the garage for a long time just never got around to installing it so it is dusty. It’s the newer model.

     

    Oem suspension all four corners

     

    Oem catback exhaust

     

    Cobb intake

     

    Tomioka gt28 ball bearing turbo with garret cartridge that has maybe 5k miles on it

     

    Used VF40

     

    OEM tmic

     

    Spare front bumper

     

    I’m sure I’m forgetting some parts here and there but anyways this would be a great car to fix up and make a great example of when outbacks were cool cars not just suburban show ponies with lift kits.

     

    Also a great rolling parts car for any serious Subaru enthusiast(s)

     

    I’ve been a Subaru owner for over a decade and its been real, but I need to step away from the performance car world for a bit to focus on other things in life.

     

     

    also have a long block ej255 out of a 2009 wrx that was bought for a different project....it had a blown head gasket at 70k miles I never got around to using the long block but it has d25 heads killer b oil pickup and killer b oil baffle installed in it. If anyone wants it let me know.

  4. I’m pretty sure that they use the same disk with different pressure plates the OEM is fine for 300 hp. I had issues with an ACT clutch also . A lot of people seem to have good results with South bend. They use the OEM desk also but seem to have figured out a good pressure plate
  5. I just had an act xtss clutch in my car...it was a disc unit. it grabbed hard and had a very heavy pedal feel over oem. It wasn’t very pleasant to drive in traffic. The TOB failed at about 40k....one clip sheared off and the bearing exploded, ripped into two pieces. I’m not an engineer but I don’t believe the TOB provided (they claim it was oem) could handle the Pressure plate that was rated at 590 ft/lb.

     

    When choosing a clutch they are rated in torque not hp.

     

    I talked to scooby2.5 about clutches a while back and he preferred the oem exedy clutch. I had my doubts, wanted south bend or act, went act because they’re a California company (somewhat local). He was running 423 wtq on e85 with no issues. I’m now running the oem exedy fjk1000 with no issues I have around 400 wtq on e85. I daily my car, I don’t track/drag it though.

     

    Just my experience with clutches on the 6 speed.

  6. So after 6mnths the motor is finally getting put back together and into car. I sold all my upgraded turbo and fuel stuff and will be sticking with the stock vf46 that was in it (as the turbo wasn't the issue)

     

    I will however be putting in the tgv deletes and air pump delete.

    I'm sure I'll need to retune for those removals and will need to install a wideband for logging and etune.

    How do I install the wideband and connect it to the AP for datalogging?

    My DP has a o2 port right behind the turbo, would that be efficient as location and leave the factory o2 in place and connected farther down the DP?

     

    Thanks

     

    Yes that’s the port for the wideband, right behind the turbo.....you’ll get the most accurate readings there

  7. its not arrogance ... your like the what number person to come on this forum and ask the same exact thing... you haven't even researched the documented material/stickies or searched the forum.

    just sell the car....just cause its free you can't sell it? what are you a teenager who got mommy and daddys car?

     

    call it whatever you want! but your trying to compare shit to chocolate...

     

     

     

    What this guy said......I was at a bbq a few years ago and a young man was asking me how he could make his na legacy wagon like mine. He thought I was being a dick telling him to sell his car and buy a gt if he wanted a turbo setup. It is what it is.

  8. Go oem....exedy fjk1000.

     

     

    I just had a bad experience with an act that left me getting towed, have a friend who had a pressure plate finger fail on his comp clutch. Heard good things about south bend, but if you’re sub 400 wtq and daily the car I’d recommend the fjk1000.
