Post hunter update time. The car ran well for the most part. My O2 issue is still there but thankfully the ECU was smart enough to get a decent mixture while cruising so still managed 500km per tank doing 110-115 with over taking. Got a chance to plug an SSM into it and showed 0v to the O2 so its a wiring issue not a sensor issue, so time to stop throwing parts at it. Also discovered the alternator is on its way out and is only giving 12.8. Enough to make the car stay charged but once you start adding load it isnt happy. Other than that she ran like a dream. The 2.5 was much nicer on the twisties and the suspension bits meant i could keep up with the turbos in the corners  . Didnt even look like it ever wanted to over heat so i must have done an ok job on the HGs. Time for pics

 

Also managed to sneak into Shazs video a few times so that was awesome. Keen as mustard for next year already

Also chris managed to get this photo on the way home. Definately wasnt after we got bored and started doing 60-110 pulls against each other...

[Beckers]

Thanks for the pic Chris.

Even got a bit of my car in it.

 

Another problem free trip to HVC.

Looked good with all the other white gen2's at harrigans mate

Absolutely love those rims on it...they look awesome

[CodeBurn3r]

I love that we have the same car but we have all done our own thing on them... 
Next year Dylgoat should be in it too! 

 

now what was this speak of a magazine?

[El_Freddo]

Yeah Barbba! Totally saw your ride on the video too

It blends in well and looks right at home in that line up, turbo or not!

So I'm guessing with the o2 wiring issue it's time to get that turbo conversion sorted??

Dont think it was the magazine, probably just an article on the site. Awesome none the less

I wish. 3 problems; money, P plates, parents would kill me if i pulled a car apart in the driveway again 

[ScoobyOutback]

I do like that pic. The clouds look good

[Barbbachello]

Traded Ty an RX momo and an hour of my time for his spare set of clear side indicators. Swapped them over in the car park cos its piss easy

Small things to overcome

By the time you get the conversion sorted you'll be off your P's so I don't know what you're worried about there! I'm sure you could pick up all the bits for the turbo conversion in the mean time, or at least save your tits off for it

 

Or drop an SC14 off the side of it??  Been done to an EJ 22 in an MY (brumby style subaru) before so you'll have loads of room!

Just saying

Saving is the current plan. Also I think were going to need to see pics of this EJ22 MY with a super charger hanging off it because that sounds awesome

[cameron]

whats your plans for the conversion v3 or gd sti?

[Barbbachello]

whats your plans for the conversion v3 or gd sti?

V3 era. GD is more expensive, more complicated wiring wise so out of reach of the DIY loom. 207 would be nice but anythings better than a 25D

As for cruise and ECU tuning, Ty managed to hack his back together and ECU labs can make the ECU tunable for bigger skids

Nice pics Sam, thanks mate.

 

I gotta say, how good does Zac's car look !

As requested:

EJ22 supercharger project into an MY Hatch - dummy fit:



All sorted - throttle body placed back in stock position with twin BOVs to sort out the overboost that can occur before the butterfly:



What Hatchie looks like:





There's a tribute video around somewhere but I can't find it. I don't know if it's been removed from the tube but I'm 99% sure I've seen it there before.

From what we can find out about these hatches, it seems that there are only three in Australia - and all reside in WA now...

And a link to wet your EJ supercharging appetite (if you have one!): http://www.rs25.com/...our-subaru.html

I should get on to this some time soon. I just don't know how I'll hook up my snorkel with a supercharger in place of the air filter setup. But you don't have a snorkel so really you don't have an excuse!

So there's your new project

Cheers
