TSiWRX Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Oh man..... That's way beyond my shallow pool of knowledge - so all I can do is send positive thoughts the way of frank_ster.... But yeah, this thread is awesome - just like I thought it would be when I first saw it (and frank_ster's name as the thread author) back in June. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimberDHexMods Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 how so ? do you have some insider info or some thing ? I read the MegaShift fact sheet immediately after it was brought to my attention by someone, and it seems like a perfect way to solve the stock TCU issues just like someone said. Perhaps trick the stock TCU to always be in sport shift mode so you get the cluster to always say what gear you're in . But then it might try to pull timing if it detects a shift when it didn't request one... Well time for me to catch up on the 5eat manual to make some solid plans [CENTER][B][I] Front Limited Slip Racing Differentials for the 5EAT now available for $1895 shipped, please inquire for details!

frank_ster Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 mega squirt is not only fuel management ! it controls spark timming boost, launch control fans fuel pump what ever ! and i had it running normally for two minuits ! the tach worked ! so it is very possible. security system is not an issue because i'm replicating the stock engine. and the key switch and all that stuff is still there. and i backed it out of the garage and drove back in on its own power ! sad side is i have to remove the a/c system for room for the rad and fans. maybe i will reinstall the a/c at a later time but i need to get this thing moving !

frank_ster Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 one thing more i will try is to machine a block of steel or aluminum to place the subie crank sensor in insead of it hanging of by mount. maybe there is some funky feild generation thing going on ..

frank_ster Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 haha not yet i'm riping my hair out trying to get the subie ecm to take tach signal ! expecially since it did it for two minuits ! now i just can't get it to do it again.

B-BGTLimited Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 The Buick motor is distributor-less, that was part of the magic of good ignition timing with a turbo and gave the up and coming "chip tuners" lots of control. There are options to run that as a standalone. The Buick ECU has been hacked to the moon and back, seems like using one of those in combo with the Subie ECU would be a good option. My bad, I should have known it was DIS since 87 and 88 Beretta's were using that then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank_ster Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) what turbo ? going to be in the same place as i had the holset on 2.5 in stock location but twisted. I just need to make the up pipes. having some laser cut peices made for flanges. next step is mount the rad and power steering and altenator.

I saw the front mount, but in previous pics/vids didnt not see a turbo, thats why I asked...

StoplightAssassin Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 You need to make a trip down to Atco when the GN guys rent the track for the day. Last year they had a GN swapped 71 Chevelle. A GN swapped Legacy would mindfock the shite out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_ster Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) so motor mounts .. the small steel tube will be bolteh trough the adapter plate and bell housing . the large outer tube will have a braket attached and bolted to the frame. the difference will be a poly urathane billet shoved in .. oh and i got a little agressive with the rad support so its GONE hehhehe be agressive be be agressive !
