oo yea it an sedan

 

WOW..Nice Car, very very nice find...Great big congrats..can't wait to see it. Looks really good..MORE PICS PLEASE...

 

I know Subies are reliable, but it is 11 years old... Will it survive the abuse? :shock:

 

now we just have to make it run good :lol:

 

god i need that hood!!!! that is one HOT car!!! its in the same leauge of hotness as the hyper bannana and 95lwrx

 

yeah i love that masterpiece

 

thanks you guys. it be out this weekend

 

yO go AZNdUDe!!!

 

its Perfect!
(the only thing that I can think of,
that it needs, is a moonroof!)

 

I wanted that car soooo bad. You bought it in Chicago, right? Enjoy it! It looks like a bag o' fun (and change the interior )

 

sweet looking ride.

 

got somthing against my interior!!?>!?!?!?!?!11 lol j/k ide take the 97+ interior as well...but too much work

 

haha!!! It'd be the greatest car ever if it had an RS interior in it. I love the waay old style

 

LOL. Good thing you got it now. Now come get my F/R wrx seats for $100! Hurry! the GF is Biatching too much...

 

it lost to my RS on a rolling start....he's not the only one that can say " oh the hoodscoop is for the intercooler" anymore.

 

was it a 1st gear roll and then let off? or is the car in need of a serious tune?

 

no, my car is turbo...

but actually from what i've discuss with ryan. it could be a dead boost solenoid. if the car hits 15 psi( which i think is where the boost cuts off), the car completely cuts off like when you hit redline, then when boost drops below 15psi, it'll spool up again to 15 then cut off again. so it just bogs its way to redline.....if we gas it but dont hit 15lbs psi, it'll rev happily to redline. I still dont know what could be the reason for the car just cutting off like this.

 

its called boost cut, or maybe a ****ty fuel filter either way its not good!...run it off the wastegate and see if it helps, bypass the boost solenoid and just run a line from the wastegate to the nipple on the housing...i think, someone correct me if im wrong...ps your car isnt turbo

 

i think factory fuel/boost cut on those is around 18lbs. either way it shouldn't be too hard to get straightened out, that boost gage could be off too, there's just alot of variables on a car like that.

 

well, i did say it was boost cut. .....but we'll see on that...it also has this funky chip that allows the car to switch from stock map to tuner map. but thanks for the suggestion. we'll give that a try.

 

i still say from the way you guys describe stuff, i would put my bet on the ecu, or boost solenoid.

 

ive seen alot of threads like this on nasioc with swapped ej20s into imprezas, they always ended up with the speed sensor, the car didnt know how fast it was going so it cut boost, does the speedo work?

 

well it works, i can't say that it's correct or not....come to think of it, i think it's off...when asiandude was following me home...i asked him how fast he was going...he told me he was going 70-75mph...BUT i was leading and set my crusie control to 70mph....he fell behind alot, he said i went to fast...but i was going 70 only.

 

the owner said it need spark plugs. that should do the trick. the car ran perfect untill he change plugs. it just need it oem plugs back. i think he said i has 2 step colder plug or 1. im not too sure.

 

now you just need a coupe spoiler

nice car...

 

You

need

a

manual

boost

controller

i had the same problem. Boost solenoid. Congrats on the car, it probably needs tuning (ej20g's are like that) but it should be fast without tons of headaches. Good to see another 20G entering the fold.

 

nice car! congrats on teh purchase, and dont have too much fun

 

ok problem fixed. it was the spark plugs.

 

My car did a similiar thing a few times and changing the spark plugs worked. It almost felt like detonation, but really wasn't ... thank god

 

put the ngk's in there? i would also get a mbc very soon as the boost solenoid is a common thing to go too. glad it was an easy fix for you guys :lol:

 

i hope what you said is not going to happen in the near future.

 

don't worry about it too much if the solenoid goes out you just get a good manual boost controller to solve your problem( you can get a good one for about $100)
