Update: 3/26/07

The last engine didnt last to long. This past weds. I got a smaller turbo, installed it and went out to tune. Well it didnt go well. Spun a bearing due to oil starvation etc. Friday night from 4pm to 4am myself, bryan (troll), and terry (gottalovethewagon) swapped in a new ej18 engine bought from Area1320. I am currently tuning it very conservatively. I don't need this one to blow up. Putting all efforts to building the JDM ej20g engine and converting my car to run with that.

Update: 3/14/07

My red impreza is always evolving, usually when doing so I make it faster, this time I made it slower....ooops! The headgaskets that went in last time didnt do the trick, apparantly I warped the heads...who coulda thunk it! So I tore it down again and did it right. JDM wrx headgaskets, arp head studs, jdm wrx heads, sti turbo, etc etc. I am running all of this on a stock ecu with a piggyback so I am having trouble dialing it all in. Right now it runs fine but isnt making the power it can.

New parts that are ON:

ej20g heads
arp head studs
vf39 turbo
tial 38mm wastegate
QTP exhaust cutout
97+ hood (getting it tonight or tomorow)

So the headgaskets blew on 12/7 after racing MissDSM. On 12/9 I took the engine out and replaced the headgaskets with WRX ones. On 12/11 it started up and ran great. Currently running 13psi, looking to goto 15psi as soon as i get new plugs. Oh I also added sti injectors and took the rrfpr out. SO MUCH BETTER! Driving is soooooooo much smoother now, i officially will never use an rrfpr again after seeing how nice the car drives with bigger injectors and a tune.

PICS:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++

OLD PIC: take the fogs out and add a huge fmic and you got what it is now.

Hmm where to start. I tear apart subarus, make them better, and put them back together...its what I do. I started off with a 96 automatic subaru, i made it look all nice and **** but that was when i was a ghey ricer and didnt know anything. Now like I said I tear apart subarus so i sold that heap and bought a 95 obd1 5spd impreza. 2k miles ago i tore out the engine, replaced the heads with larger ones and strapped a turbo kit to it. Suprisingly it runs quite well and is relatively fast considering what it came from.

Stock- 18.xx @ 70mph (just a guess)

Teh dirtified- 13.65 @ 99.31mph

I have some big plans ahead of me. Looking for 400whp ultimately.

i like the light under the hood. i think you should keep it there permanent

teh DIRT · 12-13-2006, 10:15 AM

yeah that worked out really well. when you do this as often as I do you find little tricks to make the process go easier.
