  1. I only added that because it’s nice to think about. Mods like that won’t be happening until I have a second car alway available. It’s often said that it doesn’t take that much to get to 300hp with the ej25. But I’ve found that there is a Subaru echo chamber that pushes a myth of easy power and reliability (to a point). But I can’t think of anything easier then an intercooler and downpipe upgrade to add close to 100 crank horse over stock and 350 at the wheels relative to the Subaru world. I honestly didn’t know that there was anything analgous to the legacy/outback wagon.
  2. The Volvo mod drives like a crown vic that’s been given a sport suspension. She’s big compared to the outback. The power is like stage 1, and actually is faster above 75 then the outback at similar power levels. The comfort is lovely. The auto is nice for dailying. The engine sounds very cool given it’s a inline 5 cylinder. It’s the nicest car I’ve owned. I have no desire to mod it up. I might do a manual swap someday though, honestly that’s about all it needs to feel like a stage 1 spec b wagon. And a 6mt manual swap is cheaper then for Subaru! I love that I love it for what it is. I love that it doesn’t consume me like the outback did. It’s not an escape wagon, it’s a dad wagon. Its already low enough. The suspension has three settings from comfort to teeth rattle so no need to mess with that. If I upgrade the intercooler and downpipe I can get 350+ to the wheels on pump if I ever go insane again. The steering wheel reminds me of the damd wheel. It’s quiet which I wanted my outback to be again. I don’t have to warm it up to drive, I can put any gas in I want. At 39 it feels like it’s appropriate for where I’m at. It feels like release from a bad dream.
  3. Your comment has eased my letting go a lot. Thanks for sharing it.
  4. If there are enough buyers in CA, I’ll deliver in March. Even if it’s just the tranny.
  5. After listing all the parts I’m sad and proud at the same time.
  6. And we have a part out thread. https://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/mn-co-2006-outback-xt-full-partout-277046.html?p=5859188
  7. Want to buy my 6758? I’ve been wanting to drop a 7163 in anyway. 440 at 26psi on corn.
  8. I got some fresh ready to drop your wagon bilstein b8s plus Swift’s in buy and sell. I’d run them in winter but a $1300 winter suspension set up seems a bit much when my outback Kybs are fresh and probably better for it. Would prefer to be somewhere between legacy and outback height though for winter. There are some rallitek 1” lifts I’m thinking about pairing with the outback kybs. Just posting this this though will mean they’ll be sold by tomorrow though.
  9. Check your grounds. Check your vacuum lines. Check your fuel lines. Reset ecu learning. Call a Subaru tuning shop.
  10. You need the 5mt neutral safety switch and 5mt reverse sensor. I don’t know part numbers. They screw into the trans.
  11. That would be your neutral safety switch and reverse sensor. You’ll need to swap those from your 5mt into the 6mt. Both are on top of the 6mt and are not not fun to get to. I had to raise the engine from the header and lower the trans to give me enough room to swap them. If you are doing this on a legacy you may not have enough room to lower the trans safely. One if not one option is to loosen the motor mounts to tilt it back. I’ve not done this and you should confirm this is a reasonable and safe route.
  12. Sounds right. Sounds like I'll have to use the yellow if I want anything meaninful read. I am totally going the btSsm route now and I plan to input AFR, Oil Temp, and Oil Pressure, through rear o2, tgv left and tgv right. I just need to know if rear o2 is noisy if all you are doing is sending the 0-5 volt signal to it. I will most likely wire at the ecu and that would be easiest for me. As for oil temp and oil pressure I would like to input at tgv left and right. I am going to make another thread about it though.
  13. ::I've been updating this post as I research further:: I guess what I meant was wiring one of the outputs to the ecu which is what I’ll most likely do now, won’t interfere with my tuner logging with Cobb atr software? He won’t want to mess with spreadsheet formulas and typically inputs the wideband via usb. My LC-2 has two analog outputs “The default analog outputs are as follows: Analog output one (yellow) is 0V = 7.35 AFR and 5V = 22.39 AFR. Analog output two (brown) is 1.1V = 14 AFR and .1V = 15 AFR” If the rear o2 is a low voltage input, is it possible to connect the brown to this and get accurate readings without a formula? I’m guessing not. If I can connect the yellow to the ecu tgv, will this prohibit me from Installing an aftermarket afr gauge down the line? Maybe instead of getting aftermarket gauges I just get an android device, and eventually monitor boost, afr, oil temp, and oil pressure through btssm? This sounds like the best option over all. Maybe I can log this way too? Looking at a refurbished nexus 7.... seems cheap enough and all it will do is this. Maybe connect to my phone and do maps. Ok.... Getting excited about BtSsm. "A recent Beta addition to BtSsm is the ability to reference some external sensors via a USB connection. The list of supported sensors is still short: Innovate LC2 / MTX-L AFR sensors, and AEM UEGO AFR sensor. The physical connection is like this: External sensor serial output -> RS232-to-USB converter -> OTG converter -> Android device" So I could just plug the wideband direct into the tablet using usb. My end goal would be to monitor AFR, boost, oil temp, oil pressure, post intercooler IAT, and fuel pressure via BtSsm. Looks like the AFR is easy enough. I'm running Speed density so I'm sure there's a formula to figure out boost from the map sensor. Oil pressure and Oil temp will require sending units as well as sensors im certain. getting those signals to BtSsm though might be tough. If I route the AFR direct to usb, oil pressure through the tgv and oil temp through rear o2 that might just do it unless that btsense module is released already. I may have to start a new thread, but I am super excited about these possibilities with Btssm. I've always been intimidated by the electrical aspects of it, but Im dumb enough to make mistakes and learn. Damn it looks like I can do everything I want! The hard part is just figuring out how janky I want the wiring to be. And if I can use both TGV left and right as seperate inputs then I have even more I can do! I'm so excited. $40 dollars for a tablet is SOOO much cheaper then $150+ per vei dual gauge.
  14. Noisy because of the input or noisy because you are drawing power from rear o2? I’d want a clean signal and will probably just to the tgv. Also, would I just run seperate wire from the 0-5 volt analog out to the tgv so my tuner can still tune with a laptop, but I log using the ap? It looks like my wideband is already wired up for power and ground. It lives in my center console. It would be easiest to run a wire from there to the rear o2 through the lower shifter boot.
