All I can tell you is that it's a Legacy wagon, 2 litre engine and 4WD, built between 98 and 03.

The number you need goes something like BH5B5ABC. The B after the BH5 bit is the revision number.

I like parts computers

BH5-182377

TS-R

BH5D5GF

EJ204

5MT

I can tell you know, the engine is a 2L DOHC, with AVCS (Variable valve timing in a way). It should be damn good on the gas, but still have nice power for a non turbo subie.

Awesome :) Thats what I was going for, didn't realize they have AVCS... my last few cars have been turbos but they have strained the bank account over the course of uni study :P it feels hugely peppy compared to my old passat, but I do miss that crazy surge that turbos can give :P Loving it so far though! trying to keep the engine etc stock so as not to compromise reliability but im sure that will change...

Any nice cheap little mods for a TS-R?

Since when did the BH get AVCS?

You sure you dont mean the variable intake runner thing? Which is completely different to variable valve timing.

AVCS came out in 98 with the impreza SRX, and the BE/BH TS-R's. They dropped the intake setup later on, there are a few BE/BH TS-r's without the funky manifold. As always with subaru, they stuck it on the N/A's first before chucking it on the turbo's (Just like the retna, 1600cc Version2... coupe...).

That's what i know at least, i may be proven wrong.

Legend!! haha I'm loving it eh! is yours stock or have you had a bit of a fiddle?

Engine is stock.

It has Bilstein suspension in it and I changed the muffler to give it a bit of a purr.

Thats all so far.

My one is a '99 tho.

Ha its actually not to bad at low revs it sounds quite cool and at high revs u cant really here it that much over the engine. :D

tbh i would prob leave the exhaust stock...it wil stil go as hard and it wont piss u off wen ur sik of noise lol

One thing you have probably noticed in your beast is that below 3000rpm its not that grunty but after that ul notice a lot more power.

I had a '97 TSR, not as peaky as the old '90 VZ (which was happiest from 5000-7500rpm) but they still like to be revved for best effect. Don't be shy about winding the revs out, they can take it!

Thought i would jump on bandwagon :P i have same car as you guys.

Very nice and cumfy, still has power if you need it but yea nothing like a turbo.

Got a zerosports muffler on it designed for legacy's (by the looks of it) so sounds really nice, not too loud but just the right tone.

Apart from that mines stock too.

Good to see some other TS-R owners on here!!

Wasn't much difference in peak power (VZ 110kw vs TSR 114kw) overall the TSR was quicker cos it had a good bit more mid-range torque, the VZ only pulled well once you got the revs up. But man it sounded sweet doing it, revlimit at 7750 was pretty high for a 1990 family wagon!

Thirsty bugger though, I use less fuel in my BH5 GTB than I ever did with the VZ. TSR was pretty economical. :)

haha shit real ur VZ must have been real thirsty lol and its only a 2.0 NA! ;D

yea my TSR sounds pretty sweet at high revs as well and is relatively economical.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
