Al_s14 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I am absolutely stoked, picked up a MT 05 gt limited wagon for twenty five hundred bucks! Quite a few miles but leather is mint along with the body. Some gas station shop tore it apart and then said they didn't want to work on it, lol got intimidation by the boxer i bet. Hardly a turn key project but damn i am happy. Car absolutely in the middle of nowhere Virginia, lost cell signal half way there and had to quite literary go by the map phone had a chance to pre-load Having accumulated a crap-load of STI parts which include, but are not limited to the turbo, intake mani, hoses etc... i am really wanting to ditch the trashed vf40 and plastic tank top mount(its got crap up in it anyway). BUT the only thing i was able to find is a bunch of write ups on the 39 swap. No info regarding requring a tune or if cobb has anything that is a matter of a quick flash. I have no time nor desire to mess with a tuning shop or self tune. Is there a map out there for a quick AP flash? Or better yet, does it even need one... http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h171/Al_s14/IMG_20120505_104341.jpghttp://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h171/Al_s14/IMG_20120505_104020.jpghttp://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h171/Al_s14/IMG_20120506_125448.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or better yet, does it even need one... Im confused. You are saying you picked up a project car thats basically in pieces, want to swap manifolds, turbo's and whatnot and you don't have time/interest in a tune? Im REALLY confused.

apexjapan Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 If you are going to do all that work, put it together, and then can't afford even a $150.00 e-tune, your better off just getting it running and then selling it for a profit to somebody that can. Otherwise, you are just asking for an expensive lawn ornament after the engine lets go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosAngelesLGT Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 if you cant be of any help, then you should probably go and be confused elsewhere, trolling is not a good quality. clearly i have my reasons. The truth is YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS CONFUSED. I'll take my vf39 knowledge and go since you would rather act like a douche than explain yourself. If you are going to do all that work, put it together, and then can't afford even a $150.00 e-tune, your better off just getting it running and then selling it for a profit to somebody that can.

apexjapan Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I'm sorry we didn't write what you wanted to read. If you just want people to agree with you, don't post, don't ask for answers to questions. You are swapping in a turbo and intake manifold that didn't come on the car, you haven't even said what intercooler you are going to run, and you asked if there's a ready made flash for the AP because you don't want to get a tune. I have no time nor desire to mess with a tuning shop or self tune. Is there a map out there for a quick AP flash? Or better yet, does it even need one... Yes, you need a tune. It will *require* a tune. Go ahead and call Cobb, they'll tell you the same thing. And that's just common sense, no tuner is going to make an off the shelf flash for a swapped manifold, turbo, and unknown intercooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No DRFT Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Excellent pick up. Looks pretty mint. I have no control over drippie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatsuDano Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 This could get interesting. OP, please go onto detail what you plan on doing with this car, including all labor, parts, and objective (dd, track, lawn ornament, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blongo804 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Please explain to us why no $150 for a tune. I can't believe you just went at apex/LALGT like that; two members who have way more knowledge than you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piening2150 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 That's an Outback XT, not a Legacy GT wagon. Still, nice buy for $2500. Good luck with the whole STI parts swap/ no custom tune thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoplightAssassin Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 VF39s used to be a very common swap on this chassis. The two tuners you could get in touch with are PDX and Infamous1 (on this forum) and they can do email tunes with you. This turbo WILL need a custom tune. Just make sure you find out why the car was apart in the first place. That requires a complete engine tear down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.hicksta Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 OP a couple of your posts have been removed. I suggest you play nice with your fellow forum members and differentiate between trolling and someone asking for more clarification on a topic that has been covered many, many times before.

LosAngelesLGT Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I have no idea why I opened this thead again. Somehow I'm an a$$hole because I did not understand what OP's plan was and in case he knew something that was not apparent in his post, sought clarification instead of just jumping his sh!t. Things like that make me want to not help at all or better yet, to go back to just flaming people first and asking questions later. Things you don't know... You have an OBXT not a LGT. OBXT and LGT are NOT the same. OBXT and LGT do not share the same powertrain. For one thing OBXT have different heads, which is the most important difference to you. More things you don't know... I have an OBXT. I also have an LGT. My LGT has been vf39 powered. Im no longer interested in your build. Things you need to read before posting theads, better yet before posting at all... http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/attn-new-members-look-here-first-67940.html http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/forum-usage-and-posting-guidelines-183392.html http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/begin-modifications-your-legacy-gt-19037.html http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/official-tuning-thread-80345.html http://www.cars101.com/ Welcome to the forum.

Thanks, i should have known its ok for me to take it in the ass but when time comes i don't get to return the favor.... I don't doubt all info is there... somewhere. I searched and found a good amount of info, none actually pertained to the specific question. Considering the fact that past few years standard reply to any question has been" search" its not that easy to go through dozens of posts that lead absolutely nowhere. If this community is not user friendly that's fine, wouldn't be the first. There is a big differences between being helpful and having a fvucking attitude that deserves some teeth knocked out in real time. There is more then one way to ask a question.
