My '05 OBXT Rebuild


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

 

I posted an intro a while back but never got around to this. The car is a roller I bought to fix up. When I pulled it apart, the turbo was blown, the timing belt was off a tooth, and the bottom end was on its way out. It's finally getting ready to go back together, so I thought I'd post up.

 

The Car:

 

  • 2005 Outback XT Limited
  • Champagne Gold Opal/Black Leather
  • 5MT
  • 118,xxx

The Rebuild:

 

  • 09+ STi EJ257 shortblock (10103AC050)
  • BNR 16g (used) with Infamous Performance upgraded lines (used)
  • Invidia uppipe
  • Invidia catted downpipe

That's it. I would have kept it almost stock if not for finding a really good deal on the downpipe and turbo used.

It's getting a fresh set of factory gaskets, oil pump, water pump, timing belt plus components, and a fresh set of heads. Still need to clean the OCVs and AVCS pulleys.

 

On the fence about a factory pickup tube or a Moroso/Killer B unit.

 

Tuning will be via vag-com cable.
