I'd send valley legacy a PM and see if he has anymore. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex0856 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Haha, I actually was boring and went with JmP's OE-style rebuild. Upgraded internals for reliability and to fix IHI oiling issues, but same performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I need a bunch of other supporting mods for that upgrade so I can take full advantage of it. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex0856 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Let me tell you, it was tempting. But time and time again I see this pattern of people buying a Subaru, building it, blowing it up, and selling it. I'm trying to avoid that as much as I can.

I'm an engineering student right now but this summer I've arranged at least a 60 day internship on a ship so that should be a decent amount of money and I have the knowledge to rebuild my engine if it does blow. I helped a friend build a jet ski engine in his dorm room a little bit so I think building a subaru engine in my room shouldn't be too difficult. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upgraded internals for reliability and to fix IHI oiling issues, but same performance. When my time comes for preventative maintenance on the rebuild I will do the same thing on my turbo.

I was filling up today at a place in Issaquah called the Grange, where they sell Centex gasoline. I was in there looking for a fuel system cleaner and found one by Amsoil that I threw in the gas tank today before filling up the tank with 15 gallons of gas. I also found a Oil Cleaner by Amsoil as well that you throw in the oil just before the oil change and then let it idle for about 10 minutes then drain your oil. I have used Amsoil trnas fluid before for my GM truck but other than that it has always been to expensive for my budget. Come to think of it now, I may wait on the oil cleaner as I am getting a Blackstone kit for OA hopefully in the next couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex0856 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 AMSOIL makes fantastic products. If you didn't know, the picture I posted is an oil filter bypass kit, which connects to your filter's hole, for lack of a better term, and filters it down to two microns. Typical filters filter down to 15-20 microns. That just reminded me that I need to do an oil analysis. Just ordered the kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnusonsubie Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Those JDM tail lights look fantastic! I love them! I'm really hoping I can either find everything required for the JDM specB revD-F front end swap or just do a revA-C specB front end. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnusonsubie Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 I think the spec front end would look amazing The hard part is deciding if I want to facelift it which would be a ton of work or if I want to just the the preface lift spec B front end. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnusonsubie Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 Stuck in a really boring Vessel Security class today so I did some crazy editing of the pictures I took earlier this week. Next weekend is Cars and Coffee on Saturday and then Meet on the Bay immediately after all on Treasure Island hoping to get some good pictures from that as well as some rolling shots from some friends I am going with. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
