I know Fiid was doing one of these, anyone else in progress or complete?
After doing the contortionist trick of adjusting valves with the exhausts in place a couple of times, I'm in the middle of pulling the HEs off my 1.7 to replace a pair of exhaust studs, and reminding myself how much easier the job would be if the exhausts were off, but thanks to the stock heater system how big a hassle that is. I hate exhaust studs pulling out (No. 3 cylinder, as usual). And all this trouble for only 80hp. 140hp or so from a water-cooled engine with hydraulic lifters (or 20K mile valve adjustment intervals) is starting to sound pretty good right now. If it were any easier to run water lines, I'd be all over this already. |

Am I misinterpreting the photos, or has Fiid's engine changed? The turbos are mounted at the upper rear of the block. The exhaust itself may point forward before heading backwards, but I think the turbos themselves aren't in the way of the mount. This upper rear mounting seems to be std. for Subaru. Both my wife's 2.5T and Eric Tischer's much older 1.8T (both single turbos) have the turbo mounted up high, behind the right-hand set of cylinders. Won't matter to me (if I do this at all), since I'd be perfectly happy with an NA 2.2 or 2.5. I'd also probably want to push the drivetrain forward a tad (which would reduce the mounting problem), if only to provide more room for the intake w/o cutting into the trunk. |
