  1. Cobb didn’t have their kit that works with a Spec B then. Chicago area e85 is not consistently 85% and I filled up with something like 35%. It dropped my reading from 77% to 40% with a ten gallon fill up on a sixteen gallon tank. I didn’t do the math on this but you can get the idea.
  2. I had det on a e85 tune and punched a hole in my new block. Didn’t even have 500 miles on it.
  3. When I pulled -62 I got the crank sprocket stuff. I my case, my first rebuild was replaced with am ej257 block and my head were redone because the valves had been rocking in the guides. Everything was replaced with cosworth items but it wasn’t until after the build that I stated thinking I should have gotten the intake valves thermal coated. Are we sure the NA valves are sodium like the ej255 ones?
  4. Thank for the FYI for the question that was not asked, that all OEM exhaust valves from Subaru are Sodium filled. They don’t have narrower stems in the area of flow. They don’t have other enhancements that some would consider worthy of having and therefore buy and replace their OEM valves during their build. You could answer the question that was asked and contribute to the discussion. We might even get some insights. BTW page ME(H4DOTC)-62 MECHANICAL Crank Sprocket 17.Crank Sprocket A: REMOVAL NOTE: Perform the work with the engine installed to body when replacing a single part. 1) Remove the V-belts. <Ref. to ME(H4DOTC)-41, REMOVAL, V-belt.> 2) Remove the crank pulley. <Ref. to ME(H4DOTC)-48, REMOVAL, Crank Pul- ley.> 3) Remove the timing belt cover. <Ref. to ME(H4DOTC)-50, REMOVAL, Timing Belt Cover.> 4) Remove the timing belt. <Ref. to ME(H4DOTC)-51, REMOVAL, Timing Belt.> 5) Remove the crank sprocket. C: INSPECTION 1) Check the crank sprocket teeth for abnormal wear and scratches. 2) Make sure there is no free play between crank sprocket and key. 3) Check the crank sprocket protrusion used for sensor for damage and contamination of foreign matter. ME-00103 B: INSTALLATION 1) Install the crank sprocket. ME-00103 2) Install the timing belt. <Ref. to ME(H4DOTC)-53, INSTALLATION, Tim- ing Belt.> 3)Install the timing belt cover. <Ref. to ME(H4DOTC)-50, INSTALLATION, Timing Belt Cover.> 4) Install the crank pulley. <Ref. to ME(H4DOTC)- 48, INSTALLATION, Crank Pulley.> 5) Install the V-belts. <Ref. to ME(H4DOTC)-41, INSTALLATION, V-belt.> ME(H4DOTC)-62 This page mentions nothing about valve construction, and this installation manual for this engine is for just one of the many engines under the Subaru banner and so does not represent that all of their exhaust valves are filled with sodium.
  5. I’m trying to get an idea of why we choose to only substantially update only our exhaust valves. The intake valves sit there with all this heat in them and our air, after just being sent through a heat exchanger, flow past glowing hot slugs of metal before it gets to the chamber. Returning all this heat back to the air has to be considered if one is doing exhaust valves; if it is being done to help remove excess charge heat.
  6. Friggin' ipad auto correct is some insidious shizzznitz..., just sayin'..., not just satin...., I am really starting to hate that pads shenanigans when I log on here with it...,
  7. As for fuel system differences, yes there are some. The fuel pump control system uses thicker wire, and uses the sti fuel pump controller. As mentioned in an earlier post, the reason that B's cannot use the lgt platform stems from the fact that its connectors are a mix of the five and three pin interconnects. Additionally as was addressed, the limited run of that particular variant push it to the back of the line for this early rollout. Hell I don't mind the wait. I'm just happy we are getting it at all. If it turns out that I have to cobble together interconnects and eschew the warranty then my used to work on a sub nuclear reactor butt will just have to deal with it and get my e85 on. Having seen what an e85 tune can do when the percentage is way off while under high boost, I'm not going to play with corn again without something faster to adjust than I can. Just satin'. I also deem the P and L fuel rail and regular kit to be the most complete system I've yet seen; so I'll be all in on that one for my upcoming birthday gift to me. I'll see how that meshes with the e85 kit on the back end of course. Cryo...., I just might pack up the wife and get a limp tune after this rebuild just to drive down from Chicago and have you tune the B up.
  8. I've not heard anything from Cobb about the Spec B connections for the kit. Did Cobb give you any feedback Cryo? They tend to tell the big fish about these things first when this stuff gets done. I want to get the kit but if it is not going to be available any time soon, I'll switch over to getting an external waste gate up and down pipes setup for Xmas instead.
  9. 06 was/is more or less what you think it is. I believe this is covered in some detail in many other threads, or we can discuss further elsewhere without usurping this Flex Fuel thread.
  10. I'm sorry cryo, I made a mistake about the post. I read on the Cobb web site. Questions Shandon · 3 days ago Can i buy this kit without the fuel lines and fuel pressure regulator? I’m running aftermarket lines and fpr already. Let me know price without those items.

  11. The Spec b is closer to the STI in is make up than it is the WRX, stuff like our fuel pump regulator is not the same as the LGT. It is the STI unit on a different bracket, for example. There are other engine tweaks as well. Subaru used interconnects in the Spec b that are different from those of the GT. Cobb didn't elaborate but it may well be either that Spec b's have five pin connectors, or that they have a combination of three and five pin connectors, or that they are just of a different interconnect format than those used in the GT.
  12. That is sage thought cryo. I had forgotten about the warranty aspect. I was also told by Brandon that they sell replacement parts; I'd assume this is the root of the I can get the individual parts thought process. However, as there is no Spec b kit, we would not be getting replacement individual parts myself and my fellow owners. I am just a touch not happy about missing the 10% discount. I'll have to stick with what I think is a 5% military discount when the spec the kit, pun intended.... I also can't find the exact response from them that I was looking to send you. I'm just too glad our group is getting this at all.
  13. One from yesterday, https://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/diy-flex-fuel-kit-save-big-and-buy-individual-pieces-276638.html?t=276638&highlight=flex+fuel
  14. Let me see if I can find it, hold on just a sec cryo, it was a post here on the forum with their customer support number included. I'll see if I can find it. As for the necessary changes, I to am just thinking of getting FXT kit and doing same.
  15. Additionally, I asked if those of us could purchase the FXT kit, it comes without the regulator, because I don't need the regulator. Yes and no. Plugs are not the same but the hardware is. So if one does not care about the plugs or can source their own, buying the FXT kit is viable.
