papsmarco Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I just bought a Subaru Legacy gt limited and I’m looking for some cheap mods to start off what do y’all recommend Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Clean the MAF sensor with MAF cleaner. make sure the air filter is clean. have a oil sample analysed by Blackstone Labs. When was the timing belt kit replaced ? How old are the spark plugs ? When was the tranny and rear diff fluid changed ? Make sure the engine runs well and is good shape before you start spending big money. The turbos seem to be a weak spot if not taken care of. have the two ground wires from the heads/exhaust to the chassis been replaced ? 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it. Engine Build - Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanyb505 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I'd recommend reading the thread at the top of the page on cheap mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRYPTO Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 It's a Subaru, there are no "cheap" mods lol I would start with what Max Capacity mentioned although an oil analyses might be a little over kill unless there is know issues or any components such as turbo or internal failure have occurred in the past. The usual bolt-ons will do but first get yourself an Accessport before any motor related mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORULZleggy Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Max is right on the money. I would drive the car for about a full year after all maintenance is preformed to insure it is solid. Then start adding small things. AP first with a real tune, not some OTS that you run for 3 years. also do not cut corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Start with brake and suspension mods. Cheap and effective mod - lower the weight of the car by stripping unnecessary items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
