Gex Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Looks great for 91 octane! E85 would be awesome on that setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul_Good Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 The powercurve looks very similar to mine when I had my Legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttnio Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 That's plenty of torque and ponies for a 4 cylinder. Any problem stopping, or slowing it down on the streets ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphen22 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 That's plenty of torque and ponies for a 4 cylinder. Any problem stopping, or slowing it down on the streets ? No problems slowing down, got new pads installed recently and do a good amount of engine braking as well. Also didn't take long to realize I can't get on it in the same spots I used to. Pick my spots carefully now for hard second gear pulls. Thoroughly amazed with the PW intercooler. Right side is cool to the touch after hard pulls. Only have been able to get the injectors to 60% duty even on the hardest pulls at my 18 psi target. Curious where they will be when on corn.

Gex Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Be careful engine braking with the 5 speed. The transmission case swells under load and has been know to POP gears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphen22 Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Hmmm, never read that on these boards, is it just lgt 5spd, or all Subaru 5Mt's? Might explain why forth goes in with a nice thunk while shifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Be careful engine braking with the 5 speed. The transmission case swells under load and has been know to POP gears. I think it's usually too much torque or shock loading the gears that makes them pop... I have engine braked all the time with my 5 speed and it's fine. Last fall it saw 350wtq no problem. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gex Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 The transmission case swelling are for every 5 speed from 05-09 LGT and 06+ WRX (They use the same transmission). I agree with the shock and torque comment. I just remember reading a few threads about transmissions popping gears when putting them under high stress loads. Something to think about.

lee07 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 You'll love e85, just make sure your cooling system is good and won't leak. Maybe replace them if you haven't yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
