you can put a wrx or a 4eat speed sensor in the 5mt and make it electric so the EG33 harness accepts it

Tom

DO you mean so that I can run a electronic speedo? That would be nice.

yeah, how do you think all the 5mt guys on this board are doing it??

TOm

No need for the Electronic Speedo to make it run, it is only really needed to make the SVX speedo work, in the Impreza, you can just run the speedo cable like stock.

No electronic speedo on FrankenWedge...just the original XT6 cable...

But if he is going to electric solo gauges, he would want an electric

Tom

That and then I can run a newer electric dash (speed-o) . I can even swap over to a complete 02-06 dash. I never even gave the sender deal a single though. I guess its kind of obvious though heheh.

What about light weight flywheels. Do the 3.3s like them or no? I also read that the engine likes to stall when combined with a mt. Does LANs software fix that?

Thanks again guys for answering my questions!

LANs currently working on new software to fix the stall. It should be done soon.

I never had any stall problems with my converted SVX, nor in FrankenWedge with a manual tranny...but I run a stock Legacy flywheel, I would think a lighter flywheel would amplify any stall problem, as there would be less rotating mass to keep it spinning....

Recommend you keep tabs on this thread.

It looks as thoug I will be getting one of LANs tunes. I just need to fire this thing first. wheels, tires and coilovers arent agreeing with each other right now so, a little engineering is in order to make them all fit......that and a ton of cash....arghhhh!!


Thank you for the tips!

Freakin' BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

You wanna paint my engine? ;)

Just an update for you guys if your interested.

I finally got the bodywork done. Got a set of SVX hubs, brakes, etc... to convert to 5x114. Just got a set of new rims for a Cobra Mustang (17x9 front and 17x10.5 rears) and our sponsor has come through with a bunch of parts to help this project along.

The big thing in the air right now is still the EM. I have read about the MegasquirtII and am a little aprehensive due to the ignition. I guess you have to get a modified crank wheel? The only other option is to run the stock ECU(LAN tune installed) with only the esential wires to make it run. The car has gotten waaay out of hand and will not see street duty, just open track and an occasional auto-x (Gainville Subaru Challenge is a sponsor obligation this year). Really, the only thing holding this project up at this point is the ecu situation.......then its a matter of finishing everything up and paint.

One last thing is the radiator.....what a PITA! Looks like I will run either two small rads or one custom...either way its not that big of a deal but space is at a premium!




Micheal Blue......hehehehe thanks on the engine color but its not staying that way. My son wanted that look but we are currently building a custom intake manifold. If we run the Megasqurit, with a MAP sensor, I will also run individual TB's with an air box sealed to the stock hood scoop.

Great Huck so now you tell us that running a glorified flex plate for a flywheel will induce stalls. At least I can blame it on the flywheel and not the crappy clutch chatter (which is what I do on the 03 Legacrappy).

Any new pics?

Better late than never..... (besides, nobody asked me;) )

And Wombat, running 2 different width rims is going to cause you tranny problem down the road....
