99' Subaru Legacy GTB project


wannabeboyracer

Recommended Posts

Hey Guys

 

Ive got a 1999 Subaru Legacy GTB (ej208), The car is built from 2 different cars with a lower km motor inside. 

I got it for cheap  and it pretty rough, looking at some mods or tips on how to make this car fun but reliable and look the part

First turbo'd vehicle i have owned, and i do not know much about this motor, with all the vacuum and boost lines looks like fun

Ive heard changing the turbos is a good way to make these cars run nice

 

so far the on the list is:

Scarles Front mount intercooler kit and a GT2 600x280x76 intercooler

Gauges ( Boost, Oil Pressure, AFR)

Ideally some sort of Cold air intake

some nice 18x8 wheels and tyres

Full respray

maybe a body kit, RSK front bumper, or some lips of some sort?

New rear Garnish (As cracked and leaking water)

Foglights

 

Things i have done already is 

HKS Turbo timer

Fluids Changed

Uniden immobilizer and alarm

Changed spark plugs ( Not the best to do )

RFRB Grille

 

 As I've said I'm fairly new to boosted Subaru's, so any advice would be great 

 

Thanks

Hose 10 mod

relocate boost solenoid

lower it (see if you can find some sti springs)

sti bucket seats

genome muffler (I also had some z/s dps, didn't make much difference)

Just finished taking mine for a ride after doing the "hose 10" mod, Seems to be a bit more responsive, slightly higher boost 12psi on primary and 15 on secondary. Plus the added bonus of more whoosy noises 😄

 

Wth the STI Spring and seats, Which version did you get them out of? any trouble fitting seats, like i know modding seat rails needs cert and my car is a long way off going for cert

 

 

 

Cheers 🙂

That'll be next on my list then 😁 after messing around with EVC rod. Thinking about maybe doing a decat on downpipes, just worried about overboosting, EGT's etc (Car has already had main cat ripped out). 

 

 

The Z/S downpipes I had were decatted and 2.5"(? maybe 2.25" - larger than stock) didn't notice any boost spikes on my RevD but YMMV

      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
