Actually just a few weeks ago there was a clean looking brz with avo setup and lots of other mods in the bay listed for 23k. https://www.full-race.com/store/borg...e-turbo-kit-1/ And look how little charge piping there is. Hello response. |
just tuned a 15 sti.
look at how drastic pump gas vs e85 is: https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...832acbb6fc.jpg |
Hnnng I want it.
Maybe I'll do E85 next year |
Yeah, E85 for FI is just bonkers.

What are the best model years to consider for the Outback, Forester and Legacy?
|
IMO: Outback and Legacy are highly problematic. 05-06 seems to be the most so, and even in the later years they were always experimenting and mixing/matching parts resulting in lots of weird defects.
Forester they also did that, but much less, so those tend to have less issues. My favorite is the 06-08, with the 08 Sport XT being hands down most desirable. I still miss mine a lot |
True. 2010 - 2012 or 2014 have extended drive train warranties due to bad torque converters on a high percentage of units.

Because, and correct me if I'm wrong, the 08 has the black housing lights. And the 07 has ugly chrome. There's a few other features too, but mechanically they're same

I did another thing.
Right after the above plot the vacuum line popped off the OEM boost controller causing the car to overboost. I don't like the 2port bleed system design anyway, and don't like how many plastic fittings it requires, so I threw on a 3port I had laying around. It was actually able to hold 2 psi more up top, which is cool. So here is the updated pump gas vs e85 plot. I LOVE E85 :D https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...498c8b9634.jpg |
Is 400 ft-lbs like a lot?
Diesel torque from 3600-5000? |
It's enough to spin the 255/40/18 summer tires in 1st gear.
So I guess it depends on your interpretation of a lot lol I love torque. I'm going to hold off on installing the bigger turbo now because I'm enjoying the torque so much. I also just realized that the pump gas plot was done with low tank, and e85 plot was done with full tank. So the difference would be even bigger if you account for the 60-70lb weight difference. But I don't care, because the real measure will be when I hit the track :) |

I has a sad. Adds slightly wider wheels and tires, possibly stickier, Recaros and the Magneride suspension. It's not a bad deal, but doesn't add even more brake, trans/diff coolers, fancy E-diff and wheels and tires aren't nearly as wide as on the lighter SS 1LE. |
They're not gonna make it compete with the 350. That'd be dumb.
