LNA build

[Marta Mike]

For those of you who dont know, my 06 legacy has an "internal disease" which I now seek to cure. Needless to say I sold my coilovers which will be replaced with a better set by the time shes back on the road. I intend to go with a whole new suspension setup. As for the engine I went ahead and pulled it today. The next free day i have ill start stripping down to the block. Im shooting for 250 crank hp, which with the setup Im going with its looking pretty optimistic. Then again thats an estimate so it could be less, hopefully more-lol. Im just taking my time with it bc i want it done right..so ill keep ya posted.

what was the internal disease?

[mushroom_toy]

I have one word for ya man EJ20R! Its not that hard to do. :) I could help lol, already done 1 swap.

[Marta Mike]

what was the internal disease?

bearing.....

EJ20R..........................eh ill pass

[mushroom_toy]

Why pass?

[Marta Mike]

cuz its boosted.

[mushroom_toy]

And? Are you at least doing a tranny upgrade or staying auto?

[Marta Mike]

Me no like boost!!!!! The only upgrade im doing for the tranny right now is the Valve body upgrade which is supposedly night and day difference. I thought of just going ahead and going to manual but its not worth it with just the 5mt. Eventually ill go manual, but it will be with STI 6spd and DCCD!!! Thats worth it!!!

nice, i love the new legacy gt's

[kfzemx3]

hmmm, needs more cow bell lol so your going to up the compression to 11:1, with a nice set of aggressive camies :)

[JITB]

how the hell did u mess up the bearings on a new car!!!!!!

[kfzemx3]

lol he's been racing

[mocha latte cupcake]

i heard he was chasing a black lucino and got caught in some excess gas fumes coming from a jdm exhaust system, maybe you caught some pressure air through that lil subaru engine and it coughed and wheezed its way to death.. sigh


i keed i keed... but seriously i'm glad its out and can't wait to see her back on the road

[MistaCee]

Man how you not like boost?!?! lol Good luck with your build

[chrisdohck]

good luck man have fun

[NAIZBST]

I love the legacy...but it will be better when it gets back on the road.....what does the valve body upgrade do? better shifting?

[IndianStig]

wow, boost and and subbies go hand in hand man.

[Marta Mike]

I love the legacy...but it will be better when it gets back on the road.....what does the valve body upgrade do? better shifting?

ya it firms up the shifts and makes them a little quicker. I know I know subaru=boost but im just not a fan. As for the pistons......ya thats pretty much the plan for the bottom end, but they will be going in an sti bottom end.

[NAIZBST]

if I only could find a cheap legacy

[kfzemx3]

hit me up if you need a hand one weekend, unlike some people we know, i'll actually help you out cause that means i'll be "helping" and not doing the work for them :)
