  1. Definitely looking forward to seeing how this goes! I've enjoyed seeing your previous builds and the results you've been able to achieve but this should be a whole new level.
  2. Yeah the kit is pretty pricey. Then when you add the cost of the AP and a new tune on top it is a bit painful. I dropped something like $1850 total and that was with the Black Friday discounts ($900 of that for the flex fuel kit along with the fuel pressure sensor kit). I haven't even received the kit yet and I'm already having a bit of buyer's remorse thinking I should have just pieced together a flex fuel and fuel sensor setup myself and saved some cash. Oh well, I guess it will all be pretty easy to install and convenient with the included harnesses and mounting brackets, etc. I'm not looking forward to pulling off my intake manifold but I'll be doing tgv deletes so I'll probably also end up putting a new turbo inlet in as well. I'm wondering if I should do ELHs too. KillerB would be nice but not cheap.
  3. I hope it doesn't look like this. Legacy GT -R?? https://www.ksl.com/auto/listing/5134067?ad_cid=22 There's a lot to like about the 5th gens but the weirdly flared wheel arches and the odd-shaped oversized headlights make it a bit of a pig in my opinion. You can put lipstick on it, but well...you know. I'll say I've seen some done so well that for a minute I start wondering if I'd get one. Safe to say the one listed above is not one of them Maybe it's just the flaps and the GT R thing but those wheels aren't working for me much either.
  4. I've been thinking of trying out the Blouch 1.5xt-r. I read that it was actually originally designed for the 2.0L but it seems like some people have seen pretty impressive spool time and good power with that turbo on the 2.5L. That 440 looks nice too and the 8500 rpm redline on that JDM motor sounds like a blast.
  5. Agreed that there are a lot of reasons to convert but like I mentioned, I am currently tuned (by Dave) for e85 which is what I run full time on 850cc DW side-feeds with an 18g turbo and I make well over 300 awhp with IDC maxing out at about 85%...and I'm at 4400+ feet above sea level. Thus my curiosity about whether Cobb specified a requirement for top feeds. Sounds like it's more of a tuner preference but obviously there's a lot of sound logic behind it.
  6. I plan to convert to top feed as well but I'm curious about whether or not it's absolutely required. Dave mentioned that it is in over in the Cobb Flex Fuel and You thread: But I can't find any mention of that on Cobb's website. In fact, looking through their installation guide I can see what appears to be yellow side-feeds in a couple of the pics on the car they are installing the ff kit on. Dave, is the top-feed conversion requirement for 05-06 LGTs your own in order to get a flex fuel tune from you? Or am I missing something from Cobb. I get all the reasons to do the conversion along with the higher capacity fuel pump but I'm just curious if it's outright mandatory because right now I run e85 full-time with 850cc side-feeds and I've had no issues. Besides, installing upgraded side-feeds is a pretty easy job compared to the top feed conversion.
  7. Yep, it sounds like you can get just the flex fuel module for $375. I bought a flex fuel sensor for $35 a while back so there's more money you can save. There are definitely cheaper ways to get the ethanol content signal to your ECU. Cobb's solution to add a new fpr and charge a pretty penny for it seems pretty wonky to me as well. With all that said.....yeah, um...I went ahead and ordered the Cobb kit anyway. In the end I decided I just wanted to have Cobb's full kit the way they designed and tested it. They've made the install pretty easy so that should be a breeze but I wanted to make sure I can get support from Cobb if I have issues at any point. Sure am looking forward to being able to just stop at whatever gas station I feel like and fill up rather than having to plan every trip I make, budgeting every drop, and making the trip down to Orem whenever I run out. I'm sure I'll still run on e85 as much as possible (well it seems like e70 is about the best I've ever been able to get down there) but I'm sure I'll drive my LGT a lot more not having to worry about it if I don't want to.
  8. Yeah there are too many of those but get pics of them anyway and post 'em up so we can make fun
  9. I spotted a white LGT wagon westbound on bangerter at about 7:30pm tonight. He was following me and then came up along side me slowly so I'm pretty sure he was checking out my Legacy. I had to slow down to turn at the intersection but noticed his license plate said something like RUMBLGT. Had a quad-tip exhaust. With a license plate like that I figure he has to be an enthusiast so maybe someone will know him...if anybody actually looks at this thread anymore
  10. Yep, there's a thread on it over in the Tuning forum. The last update from the lead Cobb developer is here. Sounds like the development is already all done at this point but it will only be available on AP V3.
  11. Those are great numbers especially on a Mustang dyno. That's on pump 91? Sorry if I missed it somewhere but what turbo are you running? Other mods? I'm hoping that Cobb finally releases their LGT flex fuel kit soon and I may see if Alex will do the tune for that. I've been open source all along but I'd pick up an Accessport to get Cobb's flex fuel capabilities.
  12. I'd definitely try to make it for the end of Sept. meet/cruise. Sadly, my Legacy is currently in a storage unit getting no love. I have too many cars and only 2 spots in my garage.

  13. I stumbled across this show on the Velocity channel tonight. https://www.velocity.com/tv-shows/jdm-legends/videos/jdm-legends-sneak-peek They worked on your Lgt sedan build right JDMChizad, I mean EUDMChizad...err, Hops? Well apparently now they have their own tv show!! I've only watched a little bit so far but it's pretty fun to see them cruising around SLC in the cool rare JDM cars they are building. Looks familiar maybe? http://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=167282&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1465415856
  14. Washed on Saturday...got rained on today
  15. Not sure what's going on here with this 5th gen... https://www.ksl.com/auto/listing/4602974?ad_cid=
