I would like to shed some light on the pulley/damper. It does indeed have a damper in it however it is not a harmonic damper. It is meant to lessen the shock when the a/c kicks on. I have had a lightened pulley on both of my Subaru engines and have had no problems other than when I turn the a/c on (this is in a Subaru not a 914). When the clutch engages the belt slips a second and you can feel it through the steering wheel. I don't use the a/c for this reason.


Good info, makes sense. Good thing I deleted the a/c! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

Is your exhaust going to exit through the hole in the center of the diffuser?


I had thought about it, I think I will figure out the exhaust after everything is in place, center exhausts are pretty cool.

Or go a bit taller like a pulling truck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)

think of it as adding downforce (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Only issue i've heard of is using a light flywheel, and a light pulley, the Crank pos. sensor can give some screwy numbers.

we've got a bit of extra mass on the flywheel side, and shouldn't have any issue w/ the light pulley.

True that, the adapter setup weighs a fricken ton.

It can be lightened (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I was thinking more along these lines for Exhaust...

I could point the exhaust out the side of the head hump so it points into the window of those who dare to come near it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Love it! A nice Ferrari driver too! very kind of him.

The hole in the diffuser is gagging for an exhaust imo.

Loving your project, it seems to me that you are doing everything to a car that I wanted to do in my daydreams at fourteen years of age. very envious and admiring your skills!

Guess everyone's results are different. I have another compressor I want to swap in to see if it makes a difference.

I also have a 9.5 lb. Fidanza flywheel with a 1 lb. pulley and have never had a misfire code (or any other code for that matter).

I installed the intake and the snake's nest of vacuum hoses that is associated with it.

Then I started working on the engine's wiring harness:

First I zip tied the harness into its basic stock shape and stripped off most of its insulation.

Then I loosely installed the harness on the engine.

Here is the harness half way through me re-routing the wires, I also added a couple wires to the harness for my boost and temp gauges.
This is the point at which you wonder if your car will ever run again.

After tucking, re-routing, and eliminating the plugs for the TVG assembly and a/c pump, this is how things looked, after I get it running and work out the bugs I will pull the harness and wrap it.

Jeff Bowlsby would have enjoyed looking at those (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Looking great! Now remember what you do to the loom and recreate them for sale - the VW crowd would bite your hand off!

Last night I brushed the intercooler and installed it, I still need to get a bottle of gas for the welder so the intercooler tubes are taped together for now.
I still have a couple little things here and there to do to the engine but overall it is pretty much complete.

Now if you wanted to get rid of all that annoying FI plumbing underneath the intake manifold change over to Perrin fuel rails....Prettier and supposedly more efficient too.

Just wanted to thank Marc (KELTY360) for making a kickass donation to the project.
Here is the original oil filler:
Attached Image

And the SVX filler he sent me:
Attached Image

This a pretty nice upgrade to WRX powered teeners, it looks a lot better and makes for a much more rational location for filling the oil. It was not a direct bolt on, the tube that fits into the head is a couple millimeters to big and needed some light filing to fit, the mounting holes were also a little too wide and needed to be slightly ovaled. It was an easy mod, 10 minutes or so.
Thanks again Marc!

Wow! That really opens up the view of that section of the engine. Your engine is looking great. I've really come to appreciate the underlying simplicity of the Subie engines, once all the modern complexities are stripped away. Glad I could help.

Just for a little more Subie bling, here's a shot of the SVX that's going in my Syncro Westy. Couldn't resist getting the intake polished. As you can see, I went to the Sir Andy School of Photograpy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Hijack over....now get back to work on the Biter. The 914 Nation awaits your progress.
