Re: The Little Red Impreza That Could Is Back.
 

Did they check the heads for scrapes? I saw in the pictures you posted how you like to store them so the machined surface is in contact with hard surfaces and abrasives. That, cleanliness issues, and the fact it's a Subaru... uhm, no wonder you have headgasket issues. :-\

Unless it's a tune problem causing the headgasket issues... the bigger turbo will not help you.

haha. all heads were sitting on clothes. there were no hard surfaces. only heads that are on hard surfaces are my old ones...they are on concrete haha.

yes, they also checked for scrapes.

the block never touched the ground.

take some 400grit on a sanding block to the deck surface, spray the paper down with some brake clean and u can get it a lot cleaner. thats what tech's do on warranty subaru headgaskets :8

ok Mr. 20 posts.




Nice job on the build. Reminds me of one of my friends builds. He threw a 2.0 block with 1.8 heads and a low boost turbo setup under the hood of a legacy wagon. It all came out pretty sweet.

Get that beast installed then get some rippers vids!

how many pounds are you running? No offense or anything, but it looks pretty slow :-X

All wheel drive burnouts own though >:D

Re: AWD 1.8T Impreza Video-Snow Drift Madness
 

the incar shots (sans the drifting one) were slow, I was only running wastegate pressure then. Now I am running 20psi, its a whole different beast.
