Hello from Adelaide fellow Subaru owners!
Just wanted to show everyone here my current daily
Its a 99' Liberty Wagon in Royal Silver.
Mods as of today are:
Engine:
EJ251 SOHC fully rebuilt with EJ257 Internals (Pistons+Rods)
ACL Race Series Bearings
ACL Rings
WRX Oil Pump (12mm)
Cometic 1.8mm MLS Head Gaskets
Standard SOHC Heads
Standard EJ251 Block
Stock Y Pipe with custom turbo up pipe
WRX TD04 turbo
WRX Injectors
SARD Fuel Pressure Reg
Trust 17 Row oil cooler
EMS Stinger 4424 ECU - Ignition and Fuel Control
RX7 BOV Plumbed back
3" Turbo back exhaust
Front mount intercooler (600mmx200mmx65mm)
Bosch 044 Run inline with the standard pump
Catch can
Wideband O2 Connected to the Stinger
Hasn't been on the dyno yet as it was road tuned but seat of the pants estimate is about 140 -150 kW at the wheels on 12 psi. Torque is ridiculous and turbo lag is very minimal.
Driveline:
Unfortunately is an Auto
Big trans oil cooler
However I am going to modify it by adding more resistance to the line pressure dropping resistor in an effort to firm up the shifts
And also use the Stinger to control the torque split
Only cheap, temporary measures until I can do a manual conversion
Suspension:
Whiteline rear sway bar
Bilstein Coilovers all round (adjustable height)
Anti-lift kit
Whiteline Strut Brace (front)
Brakes:
WRX 4 spots and discs at the front
Standard rears (looking to upgrade to WRX 2 spots)
Wheels:
Lenso RS5's 18 x 8 all round wrapped in Federal 215/35's
Interior:
Bugeye WRX front seats
Full Charcoal RX Interior
Racetech 52mm Boost Gauge
Racetech 52mm 4 in 1 Gauge (oil pressure, oil temp, water temp, volts)
20% Tint all round
Exterior:
Jap front bar lip
Jap Legacy Grill
Jap rear tailgate spoiler
Factory side skirts
2003 Headlights with 10,000k HID High Beams
Ultra white 5000k Halogen Low beams and driving lights
Near future plans are:
Change to WRX exhaust manifold with WRX crossmember
VF30/34 maybe even TD05 20g
STi Pink Injectors
Mild cam upgrade (WANTED TO BUY EJ22 ones are the same)
5 Speed conversion
WRX STi Mechanical Rear LSD
Retune (on a dyno) aiming for a mega responsive 180 - 200 kW at the wheels with massive mid range torque
I have done all the work on the car myself (apart from the tuning) and I can safely say there is probably only a handful of nuts and bolts I haven't turned on this car (Mechanic by trade). The car was 6 months in the build and has now been on the road for over a year and have put 15,000 k's on the motor with no issues so far, however I have already killed one auto trans (split the front diff housing) I dare say from stalling the engine up to full boost on the brake and then launching it
If anyone has any questions about any part of the build, feel free to shoot me a PM or post below
Thanks for looking!
