Humble Rumble Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Guide To Swapping to LED Turn Signal Relay Guide applies to both simple LED flasher relay and TapTurn/SmartTap smart modules Since an LED bulb draws so much less power than a halogen, it makes the car think the bulb is burnt out, causing your turn signals to blink extra fast. This relay fixes that issue. 81980-50030 is the basic relay you can use for this, which you can find here-> Simple LED Relay Guide Pictures Walkthrough Credit to testa422 for walking me through this the first time. 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTEASER Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 Just want to put this somewhere to archive it. Thanks to Captain Ned for the info. VF54 Turbo coolant pipes. Had the turbo coolant lines replaced today. I'd show you pics of the dead ones, but when the tech went to take them apart they basically collapsed into rusty dust in his hand. I was one good pothole away from a total coolant loss and turbo burn-up. Oi!! My LGT has (had, now traded) 142K miles and 6 VT winters. Anyone here who lives in winter salted-road territory should brave a trip to the dealer to have the turbo coolant lines inspected. The engine you save may be your own. These are the special order parts needed to do the job, and they take about 3-4 weeks to come in: 14430AA220 PIPE COMPLETE-TURBO,NO.2 1 14472AA250 HOSE ASSEMBLY-WATER 1 14480AA010 CONNECTOR-TURBOCHARGER PIPE 1 15194AA100 SCREW-UNION 2 803912040 GASKET 4 803912130 GASKET-12.5X17X2 1Just in case, that last figure is the quantity needed. Got a couple of PMs asking about it, so just making sure And if you decide to go with the alternative, the Kinugawa kit, you need the extra Subaru spacer. Thanks Shadow_419.

GTEASER Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 DIY Rear Chassis Ground Thanks to covertrussian for this. http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5699116&postcount=91 This is why it is preventative maintenance.... http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5698652&postcount=86 Refering to your bearings damage.... From what I know... it similar like the "Stray Current Bearing Damage" issue in electric motor http://www.ecmweb.com/content/bearing-current-problems-causes-symptoms-and-solutions Even I am aware about this "stay current" issue.. I did not expect this would happen to car wheel bearing as well.... By the way... thanks for sharing this info on bearing failure... Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk I believe it is similar to "Stray Current Bearing Damage" too, but our fluting is not quite as consistent as an electric motor's. Though this could be because we don't run our wheels at same speed all the time. It's an interesting phenomenon, when I first read the theory I laughed and chucked it off, but after having to replace two rear and one front wheel bearing on my LGT at ~100k, I regrounded my whole car. My one left front lasted another 40k, and I recently replaced it for good measure . I think our high throw out bearing failure is related to this too. If you think about it, stray current would be going through it from the engine to the transmission. For those that are curious, that's referring to my 2014 thread when I first discovered this issue: Bad Grounds Can Lead to Wheel Bearing Failure I agree with you.... the stray current phenomenon in constant speed induction AC electric motor may not 100% applicable to our bearing failure... In AC electric motor.. the worn damage cavities (that look like welding on the bearing inner race circurmference) is in full circurmference of bearing inner race... whereas in your wheel bearing the damage is on the opposite (not full circurmference). One thing that might contribute to this.... could be the atmospheric environment as well... I see on your photo.. a lot of corrosion throughout the whole places on your car... The car was built 2012 right? Mine 2012 LGT BM9 with 7+,+++km, but mine doesn't have any sort of that kind corrosion issue.. event my 1993 Civic EG3 is same too. I live in tropical climate always 3+degC with dry humidity & not near to the beach. Therefore.... I believe atmospheric condition (temp variation between season, humidity, present of salty environment) really play significant roles with corrossion + your bearing failure... Bear in mind...if we refer to corrosion engineering point of view: 1) In salty + humid environment the air become conductive for electrolisis process (similar to battery concept) 2) Plus with 2 disimilar material/metal joint/touching each other (in our case... bearing & its housing) 3) The resultant could result the same phenomenon as anodic/galvanic corrosion Refer to this article at the bottom page: http://www.dootalk.com/forums/topic/1292626-very-good-read-on-bearing-failures/ Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk GTEASER's 2012 Legacy GT - Sold GTEASER's 2009 XTeaser - Sold GTEASER's 1992 Legacy SS - Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
