Summary of change:
'''Subaru Legacy Outback (JDM Grand Wagon) AKA The Daily Driver''' --Why is there smoke coming out? Hmm. Seems one of the heads is leaking oil onto the exhaust manifold. Better fix things before I set it all on fire.-- Fitting new rocker cover gaskets, cambelt, seals, idlers, etc seems to have sorted it. $985 NZD. The car is basically a Legacy Wagon with too much suspension. It's got a 2.5L flat four, with a four speed automatic gearbox. It's a 1996 model, so it's getting a little tired now. Blew out a head gasket driving to work, so time for a freshen up! Chassis * --[http://www.kyb.co.jp/shock/products/330000.html KYB Excel-G] struts.-- Done. $620 NZD parts. $300 NZD for fitting. Car feels more stable on the road and much safer. * Polyurethane bushes. * --[http://www.whiteline.com.au/swaybars.htm Whiteline] sway bar links.-- Done. $265 NZD. Huge improvement. Less wallowing and better turn-in, even with old shocks. * [http://www.lovells.com.au/products.php?p=coil Lovells] +1" coil springs. * Whiteline sway bar mounts. * Whiteline sway bars. * Whiteline tower braces. * --[http://www.dba.com.au/dba_catalogue_2004/HTML/Standardseries/standard_index.htm DBA Standard series] rotors and EBC Greenstuff pads.-- Done. It now stops better. * [http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/DisplayWheel.jsp?wheelMake=BBS&wheelModel=RGR&wheelFinish=Diamond+Black+Painted BBS RGR 18x7.5] rims in Diamond Black finish (or cheaper copies). * Michelin Pilot Sport 245/45ZR18 tyres. We have some Pilots on the horse float. :) * Subaru VLSD rear diff and axles. Engine * Rebuilt original EJ25 DOHC ** Internals *** Kelford "Stage 1" DOHC regrind cams [http://www.kelford.co.nz/racingregrinds.html camshafts] ''Wants ECU first.'' $500 NZD *** Full Subaru gasket set. $180 USD = $267 NZD ** Intake *** Remove MAF meter. ''Needs ECU first.'' $0 *** Custom cold air intake. ''Needs ECU first.'' $150 NZD *** Wizards of NOS 100i kit. 489 GBP = $1300 NZD ** Exhaust *** Borla headers. ''Wants ECU first, not with AVO turbo kit'' p/n 17183 $324 USD = $480 NZD *** 2.5" Custom system with Borla components. ''Needs ECU first.'' HKS and GReddy make bolt-on cat-back systems for the BG9 wagon, but note "Grand Wagon installation failure"...? Apparently the rear bumper is the main difference - it's needs to be hacked to fit. $1200 NZD ** Controls *** VEMS ECU running sequential fuel and DIS wasted-spark ignition. Wideband O2, knock interface, and EGT. --Really need to find a wiring diagram for this car.-- Diagram found. 450 Euro = $800 NZD *** VEMS Lambda and EGT meter. ** Externals *** N1 alloy pulley set. $169.95 USD + $31.35 Shipping = $320 NZD (or Unorthodox Racing main pulley for $90?) It should look something like this... http://www.vems.hu/files/MembersPage/RichardBarrington/outback.jpg ---- '''Subaru EJ25 DOHC Genboard v3''' Grandwagon needs a Genboard... MembersPage/RichardBarrington/SubaruFeatures MembersPage/RichardBarrington/SubaruWiring MembersPage/RichardBarrington/SubaruCode * Marcell, sounds like you've got it under control, but if you need anything tested/verified/measured for the Subaru system please let me know. ** of course, we do. If you could '''add subaru trigger support''' to /svn/firmware/utilities/testing/signalgenerator/signalgen.c or supply sufficient stereo wavs (or mp3) for a wide RPM range (like a 2 min sweep 100..12000 RPM would be fine) Subaru trigger support added to signalgen, but uploaded here rather than SVN because I'm at Uni (worked on laptop) without proper SVN access... http://www.vems.co.nz/signalgen/ It looks reasonable in Audacity, but my motor is in parts so haven't compared to a real engine yet. I used Duncan's diagram and Michael's images for reference. ---- Back to MembersPage/RichardBarrington
