Follow me as I share with you the life of a car enthusiast. I have been in love with cars my whole life with more specifically a passion for Subaru and everything you can do with them. I enjoy all types of vehicles though and can respect anything that someone has put time into doing themselves. My current build is a widebody 98 Impreza GC with an Eg33 H6 swap in it. Would also love to show you guys other projects with the people in my area.
If you would like to follow my DIY projects and some other shananigans I get into please Subscribe and follow my channel!
I look forward to getting to know all of you and sharing my world with you.
Anyway to get in text contact with one of you guys? Just picked up a loadstar 1600 and plan on doing a dt360 aswell, have some extra queations since you guys are one of thebonly ones inhave found to no take the easy way and just do a newer frame swap.
We thought that they were going to powder coat it. And when we realized they weren’t it was already packaged ready to ship. So pretty much lack of communication.
Great video man , question do you knkw if a gen 6 tr6060 will bolt up to a 5.3 from an 07 classic silverado , and how did you go about wiring it ? Thanks man
We did lower compression. Just because he found a really good deal on somebody who bought a block and never used it. The tuner said that they recommend stock compression for our power goals tho. So I would talk to the person you plan to tune it and see what they recommend.
@@gingerauto I appreciate you getting back to me. What were your power goals if you don't mind me asking. I am currently in a similar position as your customer. My engine started knocking on my way home and had to drive it home. Haven't taken the engine out yet but looking at getting an IAG shortblock and reusing my heads if possible. Where I differ is that my current car is NA and I do not have the funds to get forced induction right now. BRZ was my daily so trying to get an engine in her is priority. Thinking of building stock compression and if I do go turbo, I would keep it low boost. Not looking for crazy HP. Just a more fun daily. Thoughts? Still looking for a tuner in my area. Not for a lack of options but so many lol
@@Brosignious if you are staying n/A or doing low boost I would for sure keep the stock compression. If you go lower you are going to lose a lot of torque feeling. We are trying for 400whp.
We are running into a problem with our EG. Crank Angle sensot is ok but it looks like we may have an wiring issue. Do you mind if I ask how many wires and the colour of those wires go to the Crank Agnel Sensor. I’m going to make a new second of the harness from Sensor to the ECU., Looking for wiring and connector types. Thanks !!!
@@gingerauto I having a tought time with finding out if there are two Crank Angle sensor or one. The two as shown in your video are both CAS’s? Cheers!
What kindof wheels and tires do you haveon the impreza i love the setup and was wondering wha the specs are if you get a cance hit me back id really appreciate it
Man, I would straight up buy one of these from you for my 97 Outback EG project. I've been working on putting a 2015 Audi RS7 4.0TT throttle onto my EG to add DBW functionality through the Haltech, and its been a pain trying to build something to make that particular throttle work. The throttle bores are almost perfectly aligned, but the bolt holes are about a quarter inch off all around minus the center 2. Trying to come up with a design that can mount to the engine, then the throttle mounts to it has been an absolute thorn in my side.
I know this videos not related but i was planning on doing my own first gen impreza eg33 swap but im not confident i have a the knowledge for it since no one breaks it down enough was wonder what advice you got
@gingerauto 600 to 800 hp range budgets like under 10k, preferably 7ish. The ideas a twin turbo set up for boost on a standalone and the sti tranmission for reliability there's more to it than that but that's the gist
I have a 68 with 304...no bed. Trying to get a ball park guess on curb weight as I'm tackling the brakes and have no ability to run her over the scales. Any guesses? Hoping to have something like yours before the good Lord tells me "You're done son!" 😅
The engine side mounts that slide are fine, but prefer to use the 73 or newer clam shell mounts. As a full length of metal wraps around them thus called "Safety Motor Mounts". The old style flat ones are not captured and can break. I am not running power adders like turbo's or superchargers. I have my share of turbo failures in the 70's & 80's. Spinning with engine off and no oil, pop-off valves sticking cause a run-away condition. This was factory. Also, clam shell mounts have metal bars to rest onto the bracket for extra support and vulcanized into the rubber. The problem is no metal on the brackets to rest on. Thru bolt is only support, with a OE type bracket they rest at bottom front and rear. I don't like the prices but salvage yards have doubled their price sheet. Still $100+ cheaper than Speedway or Dirty Dingo. Nice build! ASE Master since 78.
I just finished mine….a foam roller on the big flat areas of the frame eliminates brush strokes, also slightly thinning the paint for the last coat works beautifully too. Nice job on yours!
The first truck I ever drove was one of these. It had the gas v8 with twin transmissions. Also a tandem axle with a 22’ potatoe box on it. Fully loaded it could only do 30 miles an hour lol. Beautiful rig. What brand of gauges did you guys use in this build? Can anyone tell me please?
Nice work. I'm running the same setup with 700ccs, stock block. Fbo fully catless. High boost pulley for me peaks at 11ish lbs. Car feels great and pulls hard. Good enuf for me, for now.
How strong are the auto's on these? Know someone thats interested in supercharging an auto 86, but not sure on the strength of the stock auto's? Also small note, music on the outro is loud with headphones. 👍👍
Oh I’m sorry. I usually lower the volume on the outfro and forgot to do it! Since most people with autos don’t usually add power. There is not a lot of information and I don’t think anyone has found the limit yet. I have found that people have mode well over 400whp with out any issues tho.
So what's your take on an fa versus ej? I so like the idea of direct injection with port injection to keep the carbon buildup down. It would take alot for me to own a direct injection engined car.
This is my first time I have been able to really dive in and work on an fa. There are things I like about it. But there are lots of problems that come with it. There is no doubt that they have an issue with rocker failure. And rod knock. This one only had 85k when it had a bearing failure. We added rocker retainer clips to combat the rockers falling out. I do like the timing chain. And I do like the dual injectors. You have the direct injection that has been proven to make great power. But like you said the port injection helps keep the carbon build up from happening. I still think the ej is better than the FA. But the FB engine seams it could be a great engine. Be cool to see what the future holds for it.
I've got a tremec that came with a ls6 I bought off a guy few years ago.When I fragged my t-56. Damn thought it was a mn12 t56 outta 04'-05' Cts V. Gonna run the numbers and probably sell it if its a tr6060. Those are a great trans but I have no use for it. Was saving it for spare parts cause of that same funky tail shaft like your tr6060 has. You can't just remove that 3-bolt yoke and slide a slip yoke on the splines. Its to short and destroy the trans only after few hard bumps. Its made for a independent rearend with a fixed carrier. The only way to use with a solid axle is either buy a $1000 dollar custom drive shaft with a dampener, or just use a u-joint adaptor and a 2 piece shaft with a carrier bearing in the middle. But I found a mn12 for my camaro out of a 05' GTO they have the traditional tail shaft for a slip yoke so it was a direct drop in and I love it. Way stronger then my stock t56 was plus with the lower 2.97 zo6 gearbox with triple coned Syncros helps bang shifts @ 7k+ buttery smooth
Well you need your main wire from the battery. And then if you just jump 12v to the starter Solenoid it will start and run if it has fuel. Once it’s running it doesn’t need any wires because it’s mechanical.
