suspect

Ok, So I decided to start to get parts sorted for the single turbo conversion on my GTB BG5, looking at upgrading to a podfilter. Now there are rumours about the K&N (RR-3001) that because it's oiled it ruins the AFM, I quesioned this to K&N supplier and was told that it only ruins the AFM as people don't oil them properly and tend to over oil them. So looking at the RR-3001 as a possibility, what else should I look at performance wise, APEXI vs K&N, vs a HKS? I've also been told that the K&N RR-3001 has a 3" neck and there is little room in a Subaru without relocating the AFM. Basically i'm just looking for something with decent performance gains and 'bolt on' with adaptor. Without going to the hassle of relocating the whole AFM etc. This is going in a BG5 Legacy. Any help would be great, i've read through the previous forms but doesn't really give me any evidence to suggest the reasons or even personal experience given the information above. THanks,

Depending how dead empty it was and the fuel pump.. my skyline took $40 worth of gas, before it wanted to start. Never letting that passed the orange light again

Below is the gromets im talking about. Do thease just bolt in? Tyre Well: Down Side where rail slides into:

and another reason you should use genuine subaru cam cover seals. From This: Hours of cleaning.. To this:

They way I thought if it increased the power by more than 10-15%? It needed to be certified? Is this going to VTNZ? For WOF?

Another stupid question, does this need to be certified? Twin turbo to single turbo?

Cool thanks, so no drilling required at all. I've already got my rear bumper off so i'll post some pics tomorrow.

We are going off-topic.. it's about making a see through bonnet. Would you wax or use plastic cleaner? Streak free glass cleaner?

Thanks Joker, that answers the question about towing a boat. Any photos on how it's attached to the car exactly? (obviously bolted)

That would be the way to go.. wun could also use gladwrap and cover it with clear resin/epoxy. For that lightweight see through effect.

pedro, deaf pst iz IN.SEA.E.AYE xamz. ;D

I just read this whole thread.. (it's ok though because i'm at work) 8) anyway.. I wasn't aware that they now accept 'txt' speak in NCEA? That is absolutely ridiculous, no wonder these kids are so dumb these days. As for me personally 'wun' wouldn't be 'txt speak' as someone pointed out it's three letters.. how many letters does the word 'one' have.. *waits for funny reply*

Hey guys, I've been searching and searching for information on a genuine factory fitted towbar for a BG5 Wagon. What i'm wanting to know is i've had a look on my wagon (GTB BG5 TT (soon to be single) Manual) and noticed quite alot of rubber gromets / holes etc not being used by the tail gate. Obviously the body is identical to one factory fitted. What i'm wanting to know is. a) Is a Subaru factory fitted towbar direct bolt on into these holes? ie. no drilling etc. b) What is the towing capcity on these? Will it be fine to tow a 15-16ft boat, 20 minutes up the road. Single axel two wheel trailer. c) If anyone has one can they post some pictures on how it's actually bolted up? Thanks guys,

Yeah I got this, can anyone confirm this is related to the green plug under dash RHS? As when I plus this in it goes nuts, and makes a weird sound. I think iv'e figured this out..] I'll find the thread when I get home from work about this I asked ages ago (years)

Just waiting for a response for the parts i'll let you know what i've got. Can probably do it all for under $500

Thankas for that gazzy, dont really need a second set of injectors. What's the advantage of this than the coil packs?

Yea i've read that just making sure as UK KLegacy saying it's fine just the wasted spark setup obviously won't work.

Next question, i've decided to go single turbo will a 1999 WRX manifold / turbo (td04) and fuel fail fit or does it HAVE to be a v3/4? Thanks

Thanks for the reply Koom, Well considering I need to have it in 2nd / 3rd for hills on the Napier taupo road.. with a run up.. where it seems like a vally of death to some people.. mine is more like the grand cayon of death.. I don't know if this is just mine or all GTB's.. but I find it slower than our 93' 2.8L D Turbo Bighorn..

Come on' guys 17 views and no opinions? I'm having trouble finding parts so if anyone has some spares i'll puchase

Hey guys, I have been trolling these fourms ever since I got my Subaru, posting here and there.. Anyways rather than having my 97' Legacy GTB sitting there i've decided to get stuck into it. Currently running standard intake, turbo's etc. (I was told that it had forged pistons when I purchased) but unsure on how true this was. After reading and looking at chasis number etc. It appears to be an EJ20R (yellow injectors). I thought that the clutch had gone as I had replaced the slave cylinder and checked out master. So I decided to take out the engine and do cambelt, etc all at the same time. Turns out clutch was mint same with cambelt but replacing these anyway whilst it's out. It may have been leaking oil from rocker covers it's it's everywhere (any tips on cleaning this off it's taking bl**dy ages.) I've been reading about single turbo conversion, seriously looking into this, trying to find parts for cheap atm. Some are saying there will be no power increase at all, just removes VoD and makes things easier to work on. I've already got most things off, intake plenum, exhaust (turbo), turbos etc. Just after some advise, do I spent the $ and go with single (no power increase)(?) or get a ZS controller to help reduce this? Obviously I’m going to get mixed responses but just after opinions and evidence as I’ve also read the twin turbo setup is primary responsible for bigends going due to the secondary turbo getting that ‘all of a sudden chant’ unsure how true this is also. Live in Hawkes Bay so if anyone is keen to take me for a ride in their single turbo legacy I can compaere ;D Thanks in advance,

Hey guys, Random question but will front guards, bonnet and headlights fit from a BH5 Legacy fit on a BG5 legacy? Basically all I want to know is if the guards will physically bolt on ie. length is the same as the BG5 ones bonnet is the same length / width etc. Cheers,

Hailz, was that $690 inl GST with fitment as well?

Hey guys, Looking at replacing the clutch in my GTB (BG5 )Wagon, not for track use or anything just want something a little bit more rubust than factory. Looking at a brand new Exedy clutch kit, includes clutch release bearing, cover assembly, clutch disc. For $500 in others experience is this a good price? Still waiting for specifications of kit to come through. Any other recommendations. Also is there anywhere which has alot of Aftermarket front parts for Legacy GTB's (BG5) around in NZ? I can't seem to find anywhere that has BG5 stuff. I quite like the charge speed front bumper but can't find one Thanks in advanced.
