    I'll be installing a new TMIC, 3-port BCS, cast turbo inlet, boost pipe and turbo blanket (all Cobb) this weekend (or longer). I noticed you had most if not all replacement gaskets on hand; manifold to turbo, manifold to head gasket, turbo to j-pipe. I've ordered a set from Grimmspeed, and also ordered a turbocharger gasket (15196AA110) for the oil tank connection, intermediate pipe gasket (44022AA123) and another I'm not sure if I'll need (44011AG001), but for $13.57 figured why not? So over $100 for gaskets, but agree with your decision to do all this work right the first time. It's the stock exhaust, otherwise, I could have gone with the full Grimmspeed gasket kit, but would still have needed the turbo gasket and donut in addition. Prolly going to need to delay install for another week or two waiting on gaskets to arrive.

    • @ronfromportland
      @ronfromportland  Год назад

      Yeah, it’s always a good idea to replace the gaskets along with the copper washers since they’re technically shot once you’ve released the tension on them. Good luck on the installs, I’m sure it’ll be a lot of fun! 🙌

    I cant imagine how you fit that turbo blanket under the stock rigid heat shield...I had to leave out the lower half attached to the turbo oil sump, otherwise the sump wouldn't fit back on the turbo.

    • @ronfromportland
      @ronfromportland  4 месяца назад

      It was a PAIN to get on and I even thought about scrapping it cause it wouldn’t fit. I took my time and eventually got it on there.

    By any chance were you able to find some torque specs for the bottom bolts on the oil sump? I’m in the middle of doing mine.

    • @ronfromportland
      @ronfromportland  Год назад

      I had a hard time looking for these specs so I just “snugged” then down. Basically tightened them until they stopped turning, then gave them another 1/8”. Good luck with the replacement!

  • @FernandoJQuevedo
    @FernandoJQuevedo Год назад +1

    Hey Great update and the video is fire!! as a personal opinion be very careful with the wrap on the J-Pipe as in some cases it has been the cause for Subie engines to catch on fire as well as destroying the pipe over time. There are other means to shield the pipe that can prevent both scenarios, personally that's what I will be doing this coming spring time.

    • @ronfromportland
      @ronfromportland  Год назад +1

      Thanks man! Yeah, it usually becomes dangerous if you’re not careful about spilling oil on the wrap. No issues for me though!

  • @chrisgulbranson5867
    @chrisgulbranson5867 Год назад

    I'm actually trying to decide between the obw and the WRX. I need something that's good in snow but fun to drive. The WRX seems ideal, but I keep coming back to the Outback Wilderness. I've always had hatchbacks and the outback seems so practical. If you could only have one which one would it be? Is the outback fun to drive in its own way? Wish it had a manual transmission.

    • @ronfromportland
      @ronfromportland  Год назад +1

      Honestly, at this point in my life, the Outback wins. You never have to worry about potholes or anything. Not to mention it’s comfortable. Again, I’m in my 30s so comfort is becoming higher on the priority list 😂. BUT, this is coming from someone whose had a modified WRX which I’m fortunate enough to be able to experience. The Outback Wilderness is a lot of fun. It’s quick too but, overall, I enjoy the durability of it. I hope this helps 🙏

    • @ronfromportland
      @ronfromportland  11 месяцев назад

      Best reach out to a tuner to get a general idea of numbers for CVT. CVTs can’t handle as much torque as a 6 speed. I just don’t know enough to be able to give you some numbers!

    Congrats with bringing the subie back to life! Happy to see it back! Good job on the install too, that is no small feat haha. Also, if you were able to retune your car would you have gone with one of their upgraded versions? I’ve been looking at them for whenever I’m ready to add more power
