Default 1990 Legacy Sedan, NA to Turbo

This....



NA block with ej22t pistons, twin turbo heads, has been installed into this, a 1990 sedan I bought off of Ebay a few years ago.



So far, it has been lowered with WRX springs and has WRX brakes and stock 16" WRX rims. Lightly gutted.

The new motor has been running for about 100 miles and then I attacked.















The turbo is an Ebay T3/T4. I will be running wastegate (8psi) to start. Tuning via PP6 and 550 injectors.

I am using a scrap block to mock up the up and down pipe.



I am going to attempt to do a CLEAN and NEAT job on this build. The piping will all be ground down and crinkle coated. Up and down pipe wrapped. Heat shield on turbo. Wiring NOT helter skelter.

Dunno. I am going to set the MBC for less than 300 though. Probably a safe 250-275 whp.

Well, the sedan is parked back in the garage for the turbo install now that my other build is running. Be a little while before it is up and going though, need to collect a few parts still like a drain bung, working wideband, yada yada yada.
