As far as weight I think OSB is slightly less. There are many datasheets from different building product manufacturers that compare different materials, like this one Be careful on GarageJournal, it's one of the most addictive forums I've ever seen... |

Plan to work on things more this weekend.

I'll have to look into the datasheets. I wouldn't mind work with something lighter, but that's not a big concern. I just didn't know if OSB was even light enough to use on the ceiling. Obviously it would be if it's lighter. Any benefit of OSB ceiling? I don't really see one. Yes, GarageJournal has so many tempting ideas.... Thanks. |

I caulked some of the larger seems. Some are tight enough that they disappear once you slather paint on the walls/ceiling. It's been through a full set of seasons now and I haven't had any issues with expanding or contracting. Not sure of any benefit on ceiling. I glued and screwed the ceiling. I will say OSB is a bit more of a PITA to cut just right compared to drywall.
Honestly, if my house wasn't a starter house, I'd spend the extra time with drywall and hide all the electrical in the walls, but it just wasn't in the cards for this place. |

You should pick up a roll of insulation for summer and winter months. Also do you have any pics of the dccd controller. So back to my original question. How are the heads going to be controlled and the ecu to be used... Is this a dual avcs or single? I might have skipped on the year if you mentioned it.

Insulate the outside walls and install a vapor barrier. There are more options than just osb and drywall, I would research it a bit more and make sure the wall covering will work for you needs. Drywall is cheap just not very versatile.

I have looked up a lot of different options online and those are the two that seem the most common and "best". I don't think I need much versatility from the walls. If there's an even cheaper option I would be all for it. |

Awesome well documented build. Makes me want to get into a subaru again. I love that you took the time record how the car did stock and then build upon it. Rather than throwing a high number or goal out front, enjoy tinkering with it along the way and see how what your doing is really improving the car.
It's really awesome how interchangeable these cars are also and how easy it is to find good used parts for cheap. Oh and i have got to find those light bulbs! My carport needs them! Happy modding! Last edited by subydude02; 10-02-2013 at 09:00 AM. |

Thanks! I do like incremental changes. It makes it more enjoyable during the process. And trying to document things as I go is always a goal.
Another long night of working on the car last night. Thanks to ofspunk7 and DanFran for the help! Here are some photos. I actually decided to pull out a real camera this time. No flash. Those new lightbulbs are working well. The front of the garage (near the doors) is still a bit dark, but we didn't really need any additional light while working on the top side of the car. Just trouble lights for working underneath. How the night started: Courtesy table for watching. Also note the extra small mini-fridge to save time getting beer, haha. 5 speed is out! Front axles are out! One was quite a pain. Stock 5 speed. For Sale! 6 speed shifter installed. I did some quick measurements and decided that the top linkage needed to be swapped with a linkage from a GD STI (which I had purchased). So I swapped that linkage and left the rest from the 2012 STI (has Kartboy shifter and all bushings). BUT it turns out the bottom linkage is also too long. So I'm going to have to take it all back out and swap the bottom of the linkage too 6 speed is in! 04 STI axles are in! Quite a pain getting the axles into the tranny. Seemed even tighter than it was with the 6 speed on my 2011 WRX. Also pulled the midpipe and driveshaft. Swapped the r160 driveshaft flange for one from an r180 so that I can use an STI driveshaft. Stock 2002 WRX motor on the stand. Need to start stripping it. 2012 STI motor waiting for parts! Getting the one axle out, and getting the 6 speed back in took way longer than expected. We also spent some time working on ofspunk7's sister's Bugeye. So it was quite the late night, but we got a lot done! |

Worked on it some more last night. I pulled the shifter assembly back out and swapped on the 04 STI upper linkage as well. Both the upper and lower linkages are about an inch longer. This should have been obvious to me in the first place.
I got all of it bolted up and then found that the metal plate around the shifter (under the boot) was hitting the linkage in 1st and 3rd. After 2 or 3 go rounds with the angle grinder I ended up just taking a big chunk out and there's plenty of clearance now. The shifter setup is 04 STI linkages, Kartboy short shifter, Kartboy/TIC bushings all around, and the Anarchy Motive heavy knob. It feels really great to actually have it in and move it through the gears. Soooo much more crisp than that stock 5 speed shifter. My brother started work on the MapDCCD install. He got the wiring harness ready and then pulled the dash apart. He also pulled up the carpet to expose the ECU and started routing wires. That's about all the further we got on the car before calling it a night. I also pulled the turbo, uppipe, and headers off the motor. |

I have the stock exhaust manifold, so there is technically one header on each side (separate pieces).

I've always been a bit confused whether or not to add the S with boxer headers

I figure if it's two pieces then it is plural (ie. stock). All the aftermarket manifolds are a one piece header.

So lucky man. I can't wait to see this all done and enjoy the watching/reading the journey. I have ALWAYS wanted a PSM bugeye as a project car. I live vicariously through my cousins bugeye project...
Check out his car. I love it. Check out page 10 for current pic's http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2453558 |

Last night's update: My brother did more work on wiring up the MapDCCD and VSSPro. Most of the in cabin stuff is done, just needs to be buttoned up. Still have to do the connections at the ABS sensor and DCCD solenoid. I also stuck some gauges in a pod, but I haven't wired them up yet.
I moved the intake manifold onto the new engine so I could use straps on the engine hoist to lift the motor. Final install on the intake manifold will be later. Then I installed the headers, uppipe, and turbo. Finally I swapped the sprung 6 puck clutch disk for a solid 4 puck. |
