anybody out there......

is there anyone on this board or just me :eek:

I'm here.

I'm in the slow process of upgrading my 97 Legacy GT 4-door. It's black, has Toyo Proxies TI's on it, and I'm moving on to a stiffer rear sway bar, as well as improving the front end lighting and cosmetics.

Suspension work will probably be next.

What are you into with Legacy?

i've a black 92 legacy turbo sedan, whiteline swaybar endlinks, aftermarket foglights(just little ones), kyb gr2 struts(not on yet), straight through glasspack type muffler, boost guage running stock boost, until i get a mbc together. that's bout it for now. i got plans for an intercooler sometime among other things :)

How much boost does the U.S. version run? Just curious since it doesn't come with a factory intercooler...

well stock, i believe, is supposed to be 7-8 psi. mine runs around that but spikes to 10 at wot.

How much boost do you think you could run on a stock engine? My friend has a 93 turbo, and I want him to get a boost controller. Or would he have to upgrade fuel rails/pump too? I just want to get some info on this car.

I am not totally sure about the exact differences between the US and non US spec Legacy turbo cars, so please take the following with a grain of salt ;)

A "rule of thumb" would be to increase amount of boost by about 20% maximum. Most factory ECUs can correctly accomodate this amount of deviation from "standard" operating conditions.

After that, you may want to seek expert advice on finding what exactly the bottleneck(s) are...

yeah, i'd be very hesitant to go anywhere above 10 psi unintercooled. but, it is a very strong engine. i've had mine up to 14psi a few times without incident but now it stays at 10 til i get an intercooler.:rolleyes:

that's a sweet car. after i got my accord i found a 96 legacy gt aniversary edition which was hella sweet. what is the aftermarket support for scoobies ? I really can't seem to find anything for them except rs's and imprezzas

check out the forums on http://www.i-club.com , there is a legacy one, it is closer to the bottom on the forums page. look there and you will find an unbelevable amount of stuff you never knew before, along with finding aftermarket stuff

Hi everyone, well it's my first time here and you guys look
like a bunch of fun people!!! Pleased to meet ya all!
Has for me, on my rally car (1991 Legacy turbo ej22t), I'm running about
11psi of boost. Over that the ecu give's me an check engine light and
anyway, without intercooler there wont be any engine left after the
race!!!
I'm planing to convert in to a RS version to run in group N here in canada. Soon, I'll be firing up a nice little EJ20t from a Legacy RS jmd.

I just found this forum. If you guys haven't already, go check out the forums at www.i-club.com . if you need to know ANYTHING having ot do with your scooby, there's the place.
