  1. Hello Folks, I would first like to say that If there is another thread that has already answered this, please point me in the right direction! I have a 2006 Legacy GT with ~170,000 miles on the chassis and about 6000 miles on a completely rebuilt motor. It has forged pistons and rods, brand new long block with stage 2 cams, and a VF52 turbo on a 0% waste gate duty tune for break in. I finished my break in at 5000 miles and I was about to begin tuning when my OEM thermostat died. I know, I know... should have changed it when I was rebuilding but I missed that. I changed it with an Advanced Auto thermostat and that died after 60 miles. It killed my radiator because I thought i could push the high temps for longer then I actually could so I ended up having to replace the radiator and the thermostat. I now have a Napa Thermostat and radiator with roughly 1000 Miles on them together and that Thermostat just died. I am looking for suggestions on what I can do for troubleshooting because something is wrong and it cant be the thermostat. I would like to fix it before I run through any more thermostats. Thanks for your input!
  2. Looking to meet up with some LGT people in Maine! I have an 06 that's getting rebuilt at the moment but when I finally get it together and tuned it would be fun to meet some like wheeled people.
  3. It makes sense, considering the higher temps and pressures.
  4. Yep that's the exact page that came in the box.
  5. Thanks! I pretty much came to that conclusion myself. I appreciate your time and response! Have a good one!
  6. Hello, I am in the middle of rebuilding my EJ 257 and I have come to the step of installing the Piston Rings and Pistons. I have a sheet of paper that came with the Manley Pistons I bought that has a specific gap measurement (Bore x 0.006 in) but that conflicts with the Ring gaps specified in the maintenance manual. I didn't see any previous Forum Post on this subject so I thought I would see if anyone has prior experience/knowledge and might be able to shed some light on this. Thanks!
  7. I plan on returning the flywheel and getting the ACT Flywheel that goes with this specific pressure plate. The kit as well as the engine specify the 2006 WRX Flywheel as compatable so it is still a mystery to me.
  8. Ok, thanks for the info. I was able to install the pressure plate so that must not be the issue.
  9. Ya, I get what you mean. I definently dont want to buy a new starter on top of everything else. There is a difference between the Turbo and Non Turbo Flywheels? I've never head/read about that before but it would explain my issue.
  10. Thanks for the input, I'll compare the two and see the differences. My problem is I am already pretty deep money wise so I'm just trying to make what I have work.
  11. I have a 2007 Legacy GT and I am in the process of putting an ACT Clutch kit in it. https://www.advancedclutch.com/product/hd-perf-street-sprung-sb5-hdss-2?gfid=p4014-c303529 I found out that it needs a WRX Flywheel. No big deal, I thought, so I got one. That brought me to the problem I currently have and hope I can get some help with. The stock starter is having trouble interfacing with the new Flywheel and as a result is making some noise when you try and start it. I have searched this site along with a couple others to try and see if anyone has had a similar problem but no luck. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
