hadvw Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Oddly it was this Canadian who turned me on to American engines, nothing to do with Texas. I didn't mean that - I meant that they'll let you pass smog/emissions with a V8 in your car.. Trying that in CA would be way too expensive to even try to pass smog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimberDHexMods Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 If, say, you had to fit a bigger throttle body on your swap, what would you do to get it to work? Thoughts much appreciated [CENTER][B][I] Front Limited Slip Racing Differentials for the 5EAT now available for $1895 shipped, please inquire for details!

frank_ster Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 uh .. well i would just up the boost but if i had to .. i would probably just wire it to a gm type throttle body it might work. if not take the servo and attach it to the throttle body you want to have through some complicated system of levers strings and cogs Now that's thinking out of the boxer! fyi all 05 + legacy's have built in code reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimberDHexMods Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Ooohhh I like the idea of getting a GM throttle body and/or pedal sensor to work cross platform. Will add that to the 'to do when feeling like a tired zombie' list. [CENTER][B][I] Front Limited Slip Racing Differentials for the 5EAT now available for $1895 shipped, please inquire for details!

ClimberDHexMods Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Where's the fun in using the street and wind to load the car in reality, when you can use artificial loading instead [CENTER][B][I] Front Limited Slip Racing Differentials for the 5EAT now available for $1895 shipped, please inquire for details!

frank_ster Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 like i said i don't need dyno .. the numbers are for you guys only. i can easily tune on the street and pulling heavy trailers Now that's thinking out of the boxer! fyi all 05 + legacy's have built in code reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_ster Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 so went to the drags last night. with a best time of 13.7 @99 mph with 5 lbs boost. and pretty lame launch due to shitty traction at the track. i did raise the boost to 14 lbs but my tranny didn't like that 3rd gear shift was a bit slow.and 4th didnt grab at all. but i think the subau map sensor poped off so tranny wasn't getting full pressure.

Leviman Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Now I have found another engine project source for you: http://www.boxeer.com/ I wonder if you cranked the boost and fuel up on one of those things (like the diesel truck guys do) how much power you could make? it's already making about 250 ft lbs of torque from a 2.0l engine!

There's already a box available that claims to turn up the torque from 350Nm to 420Nm. And I suspect that you can get more than that from it, but at the cost of reliability and fuel consumption.

I'm currently averaging like 22-23 mixed driving. I was getting 27 hwy mainly last year. But I'm sure you have atleast double the power than I do. Me=envious.

frank_ster Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 it was bad as shit on gas for a while. i kept advancing the ignition timming and it kept getting worse and worse. i went up to 46 deg advance now i'm running 23-25 and wow what a difference. i wonder what the subie motors would do if you retarded the timming a shit load to 23-25 deg in cruse areas Now that's thinking out of the boxer! fyi all 05 + legacy's have built in code reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It runs great, but the EGTs are high. I believe Subaru runs in the 40~* range in cruise to help emissions and keep EGTs down.
