92.Legacy.SS Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 oh wow um i would guess it was the gauge piping but i know my car feels a little slugish when i put it in 5th but thats probably cause its just the stock motor with 261xxx on it. has your car ran fine since or does it still sit?

Legacy Wagon Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 It runs...I'd hardly say fine, but it'll get me A to B. Just seems like a wuss. I think something screwed up when that alternator rolled. I swapped it back to stock. I replaced the fusible link that day, but it felt weird since then. The other day the Check Engine Light came on for about 5 seconds. Just long enough for me to pull over and have it turn back off. Stupid CEL's cant be recovered in OBD1 cars, which sucks. Once it's gone, it's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sqc151 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 so today i wanted to get rid of my CEL. well it turned into a hell of a day. i couldnt sleep again last night, so around 4am i decided to take a nice peaceful drive to my hall and check in. stopped by advanced auto to pick up my knock sensor i ordered. got home, made myself some eggs and let the car cool down a bit before i start doing anything. i go outside and it took me all of like 3 mins to change it. i wasnt expecting it to go so smoothly. http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa474/sqc151/93%20SS%20turbo/photobucket-4733-1323135262192.jpg i then decided to replace the purge valve to since that was giving me a CEL. i had an extra so i used that. heres the stock location http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa474/sqc151/93%20SS%20turbo/photobucket-4732-1323135264778.jpg now the task to get to this sucker is retarded. i was feeling motivated so i decided to try and put my tdo5 on and the 3" tbe i have lying around. so i pulled the stock exhaust off http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa474/sqc151/93%20SS%20turbo/photobucket-4774-1323135263220.jpg compare turbos http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa474/sqc151/93%20SS%20turbo/photobucket-4779-1323135270757.jpg i tried using the turbo without a tmic cause the one i have needs a bpv. in the end, it didnt work. http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa474/sqc151/93%20SS%20turbo/photobucket-4659-1323135262700.jpg so i had to put the vf11 back in and put the DP on with a new gasket i had lying around. http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa474/sqc151/93%20SS%20turbo/photobucket-4636-1323135270235.jpg i relocated the purge valve to the top of the intake manifold for easier access next time. http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa474/sqc151/93%20SS%20turbo/photobucket-4772-1323135265301.jpg I decided to put my STI CF strut on while i was at it. http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa474/sqc151/93%20SS%20turbo/photobucket-4631-1323135261108.jpg after all that, it was still kinda early. so after getting the DP on i was just about to put the catback on and then decided to swap out the sway bar since the exhaust is out of the way. stock swaybar http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa474/sqc151/93%20SS%20turbo/photobucket-4767-1323135271286.jpg taking a break http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa474/sqc151/93%20SS%20turbo/photobucket-4635-1323135263697.jpg everything swapped over pretty easy. http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa474/sqc151/93%20SS%20turbo/photobucket-4768-1323135266408.jpg i then put the rest of the catback on for now till i put the STi muffler on. http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa474/sqc151/93%20SS%20turbo/photobucket-4795-1323135271793.jpg well that was kinda my day, how was yours??

Legacy Wagon Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 How hard is it to line the fenders back up? I like those lightweight control arms. Do they make the stance a bit wider? Does your brake pedal feel a bit softer with those WRX calipers? Mine dont seem to fill as fast. I think I need a larger diameter master cylinder, but I'm not willing to spend any money on my car right now with it running like garbage. Too bad you live in NY or NJ. I'd love to come and check out your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqc151 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 fenders line up themselves. took all of 20 mins to swap them over. yes, the control arms widen the track. not sure about the brakes yet till i get new rotors and pads. i have a larger brake master cylinder if i have to swap it over. ill find out later today or tomorw.

Legacy Wagon Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Nice So what do you do to widen the rear? Ah, gotcha. And lucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
