Whats up I recently traded my sti swapped wagon for a 94 miata. I have been into Subaru for more than 10 years and over the years ive owned a bunch of them from an rs, to a legacy ss, forester, and my wagon which i swapped and built over 2 years.

I recently traded for this and i think its a pretty nice starting point. . With the trade i got an uninstalled diy begi type turbo kit (garret 2560), along with a diypnp,intercooler/piping, injectors, lc1 wideband, and just about everything else needed to turbo it. The turbo was never installed on this motor.

I dont plan on making a ton of power right off the bat, but am looking to get 160-185 out of it. I have been lurking for a little bit, but want to become a little more familiar with the car, and gain some more knowledge from this site before i turbo this thing.

not sure if you noticed but your front wheel has 4 spokes and your rear wheel has 5. And you forgot to paint the hood on your subaru wagon. Yo.

I had a wagon like yours that had a turbo too until an illegal Mexican destroyed it. Even with your mismatched hood I think you lost on that trade.


pretty lame first post. Way to make an entrance. Sad. Unfortunate. Had potential.

Where was that photo shot with the covered bridge in it?

drummersrs

I took it in North Whitehall P.A.

As far as the wheels go, they are Rays/volks, 5/4s's and from what i understand there pretty rare.

Bought a new house that has a garage, so i got bored one day and decided to start on the turbo build, and about 2 weeks later, boost finally:
















Man, i really love this thing. I have it running on megasquirtpnp semi tuned by me, using diydutotune basemap spark table with a few air/fuel adjustments with the help of some very useful threads around here. Thank you. shes running 6lbs of boost on a garret2560, begi log mani, and diy downpipe. I plan to run it in a few auto x and track days this summer.

Nice man, clean car. I actually like those strange *** wheels, looks nice. Also your subie was badass as well.

You are going to want more boost though, this I'm sure of.

I'm really digging the mis-matched 4 and 5 spoke wheels...seriously. It works for some odd reason.

Great work on the NA. I dig your old wagon too, my daily ride is a FXT.

I don't understand it, but I like it too.

Thanks guys. The wheels are actually a set of wheels. They are rays/volks racing 5/4s. I was a little unsure of them at first as well, but i really really like them now.

As of right now im running the stock exhaust without a cat connected to my DIY downpipe.

The down pipe is 2.25 (yea i know should be bigger) after that its just the stock exhaust with a resonator for a cat.

In the next few days i plan to make a catback at least 2.5" from the dp back. wondering if i should keep my 2.25 resonator in there or not. Would id be too raspy without it?

Don't run a resonator...it won't be raspy at all. I have 2 1/2" from the turbo back to a muffler, and that's it. My car is quiet.

drummersrs

ok cool thanks. I figured it wouldn't be too loud since it does have the best muffler ever made (turbo). I was more concerned about getting that high pitched buzzing sound at higher rps.
