PimpFro Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Just for clarification purposes... I will be needing a tune because I am also installing the ID 1000's and, while I'm there making new fuel lines, because why not I'm messing with the whole thing again.... Chad, I need to chill with ya again and talk parallel vs series for our cars Pure Adrenaline Attached... To A License Plate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murderedout801 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I understand the broke game lately... Outback is going to be brand new though. Was having synchro issue, and the motor has 148,000 on it now and about 70k of that is tuned and lightly modded. So started to explore all my options, and decided to go JDM found a 2.0 legacy spec b block, and I think I just found the matching tranny! Plus with all the money I’m saving versus just building a stage 2 bottom end from scratch, I can invest more in power!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 Yeah, I saw the V3 upgrade thing. I really want flex fuel so I can drive on 91. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PimpFro Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Did the smart thing, held off on the flex fuel for now, I've read a few people here on the forums getting the kit priced out by item due to them not needing specific items due to already upgrading their fuel lines/rail etc. So.... I am waiting for the V3 right now. Btw I may need someone with a functioning computer to store my tunes for a bit Pure Adrenaline Attached...

PimpFro Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Chad, do it so you can driver her normally again. That has been IMO whats made you want to sell her, is not being able to drive her all the time Pure Adrenaline Attached...

Hops Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 True... it really is the reason I don’t drive it and want to sell it. I really don’t want to spend money on a V3, but it’s a damn good offer right now. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 Wow, just looked at the sale - 60% off! Fro, you sure you don’t want a V3? This deal only last two more days. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PimpFro Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I meant I'm waiting, as in, I'm waiting for it to arrive, so I can send my v2 and get my monies back on the exchange program. Already secured a place to store my maps to swap over too. Pure Adrenaline Attached... To A License Plate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeGiT_Flat4 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) Did the smart thing, held off on the flex fuel for now, I've read a few people here on the forums getting the kit priced out by item due to them not needing specific items due to already upgrading their fuel lines/rail etc. So.... I am waiting for the V3 right now. Btw I may need someone with a functioning computer to store my tunes for a bit Yep, it sounds like you can get just the flex fuel module for $375. I bought a flex fuel sensor for $35 a while back so there's more money you can save. There are definitely cheaper ways to get the ethanol content signal to your ECU. Cobb's solution to add a new fpr and charge a pretty penny for it seems pretty wonky to me as well. With all that said.....yeah, um...I went ahead and ordered the Cobb kit anyway. In the end I decided I just wanted to have Cobb's full kit the way they designed and tested it. They've made the install pretty easy so that should be a breeze but I wanted to make sure I can get support from Cobb if I have issues at any point. Sure am looking forward to being able to just stop at whatever gas station I feel like and fill up rather than having to plan every trip I make, budgeting every drop, and making the trip down to Orem whenever I run out. I'm sure I'll still run on e85 as much as possible (well it seems like e70 is about the best I've ever been able to get down there) but I'm sure I'll drive my LGT a lot more not having to worry about it if I don't want to.

Hops Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 Yep, I ordered mine. Price was too good to pass up. I’m a little sad to give up my 12 year old big box V2, though. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murderedout801 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Hops I wouldn’t be surprised with your twin scroll and mods list that you’d make in the same range hp/tq on 91 with a proper tune these days. Either way I’m very jealous of the flex fuel upgrade! Have to stick to 91 time for now but on the other hand I’m super excited for 8500 redlines on the new JDM motor! Do any of you guys have experience or I should say opinions on transmission braces? There are several companies that make them some with pretty crazy torque claims... idk considering adding one to a JDM 5 speed, whatcha y’all think?

Hops Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 That’s a nice turbo! I looked into the transmission brace years ago and pretty much forgot about it. I remember there was a thread on here somewhere. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murderedout801 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Despain kinda laughed and told me not to waste money when I asked him about the brace. So I guess I’ll skip it. I think I’m just gonna go built 5mt too! With the power potential of that turbo and just wanting a bullet proof setup I just can see putting in a used 5mt even JDM. And so stoked on the 440. The synopsis graphs I’ve seen on it really impressed me with the amount of time it platues out and you can actually enjoy your peak power. Espescially in the 350-380 tq range.

Hops Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 I looked at Blouch turbos for years and even ordered one for my old-old wagon, but didn’t finish that build. Excited to see how your build goes! Let me know which route you go with the transmission. I’d love to bulletproof mine and I love the gearing on the 5MT vs the 6MT. Buy my cars!

PimpFro Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 ^ is why I keep my eyes open for a 5th gen GT transmission for a good price (when I can afford it again) its gearing is basically our 5speed with a cruiser gear iirc Pure Adrenaline Attached...

LeGiT_Flat4 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I've been thinking of trying out the Blouch 1.5xt-r. I read that it was actually originally designed for the 2.0L but it seems like some people have seen pretty impressive spool time and good power with that turbo on the 2.5L. That 440 looks nice too and the 8500 rpm redline on that JDM motor sounds like a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 You could just buy a 5thgen stage2 and easily be over 300whp/350tq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 Yeah, that’s a nice motor! But, man... are they ugly. And no real e-brake. (Just my opinion, no offense!) Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Ahhhh c'mon. Wait till I get it out of the garage, mine looks COMPLETELY different now after my conversion. My new wheels are pretty epic too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeGiT_Flat4 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) I hope it doesn't look like this. Legacy GT -R?? https://www.ksl.com/auto/listing/5134067?ad_cid=22 There's a lot to like about the 5th gens but the weirdly flared wheel arches and the odd-shaped oversized headlights make it a bit of a pig in my opinion. You can put lipstick on it, but well...you know. I'll say I've seen some done so well that for a minute I start wondering if I'd get one. Safe to say the one listed above is not one of them Maybe it's just the flaps and the GT R thing but those wheels aren't working for me much either.
