Most of the Main Pipes yes. Thou the Turbo Coonlant feed pipes will be different. So you need to pipe some extra hose and make these up yourself. Useless by luck you search around Yahoo auctions japan and find some Samco, Zeropsorts or PRS kits EDIT: http://www.tpl.co.jp/samco/jp/datetbls/jp.html#Subaru SAMCO Japan listings with pictures.

I still wouldnt hack up a 1st Gen Blitzen like the Top Pic. Looks Rangi az. Might as well sold bumper to pay for a C-west Type replacement....

Yes you dont want to hack up a Blitzen Bumper!!!

I used some RS*R springs in my Blitzen. I also had the shocks rebuilt at time. Nice ride, but still abit limited compared to STi. Might need guard rolling if wheels are larger. Adjustables are hit and miss second hand. If you were to get some, then you might as well factor in a rebuild plus cert costs. Either look out for cheap second hand exhausts from wreakers or look at Fortyone.co.nz for new or there yahoo auctions japan service. Stay with OEM airbox, do a Cold air intake. You can replace the inlet pipe with a Zerosports one for abit of bling. I wouldnt go Fmic. Cost for more lag. The standard Cooler is pretty good, but few things are replace the plastic inlet pipes with some samco ones and open up the bonnet scope (most just put a v8 scope on) Water sprayer can be done to. I did do a V8 I/C install, but was PITA and required few custom mounts, Y-Pipe mods, and replace clutch Master cylinder with one from a V7+ Depending on you skills in things with cars, you can buy the cable and with the use of ECU flash/Romraider give http://torquedperformance.com/aboutus.sc an email. Costs a flat fee of $150US. Highly Regarded tuner.

as in???

Need to remove alternator to get at it easy. And the BE/BH are OEM subaru only part. think they were about $60.

Temp Sensor

Toulene....

In regards to stage 0... I would put droping the sump and giving it a clean out along with oil pickup. The oil feed(s) pipes would be a good idea too. Do the late ichi ban\'s trick and remove the mesh filter from oil feed and AVCS feed pipes if install.

Normally from A bad previous windscreen replacment.

\'00 BE/BH should be rev B. \'01 rev C. And 02 Rev D.

Dry sump... ;D

Not really. Liquid filled is to render the gauge inert during different Temps and Humidities. You must use some super thick glycerine to damper a normal Burdon tube type gauge.

hey who doesnt want a 700hp Volvo to do the laps in...

has anyone even NDT a EJ conrod and seen what the make-up is like?

\'92 RS 140K: Bearing on cam pulley failed(someone didnt change it at 100K) . Threw cam belt. Munch Munch valves for lunch. \'01 Blitzen 103K: Turbo then BEB. Oil Pick up had crack in a weld, so wasnt sucking up enough oil. No pressure problem, just not enough volume.

Just put some heat wrap on and you wont know the difference. Lobster back is also cheaper to make. You only need straight tube or steel plate to make it.

A few other engines Ive worked with, changing the big end bolts and preping the rods provided a good enought strenght for most road cars. Like early 4G63 VR4 or 1UZ Rods just changing Bolts provide a good power ceiling. Ive even Built a RB2.4 with stock rods, which after I sold ended up having a T04 (trust t67??) bolt up and being thrash around Hams for a good lenght of time. But bending/snaping rods is a different issue. Just funny seeing people get told they need to have forged this and titanium that, if they arnt even going to truly see the numbers which they have build their bottom end too. Or to have it throw a BEB due to the belief that a "forged" motor solves everything, yet they do nothing to their oil system or get it tuned right.

If you have changed to LED\'s sometimes they work themselves loose from time to time as they arent a tight fit I had to "glue" a couple of LED\'s in to the plugs to stop them blinking.

What is it about the rods that fail? do they break? bend? Cap bolts/studs break?

Its luck of draw. Some people do Full exhaust and have no problems, other people do it and It blow turbo up on first run. Why look around Yahoo auctions for some second hand JDM goodness?

Fixed.

If this is the case, why bother with this topic?

The factory exhaust manifold is un-equal lenght......
