1986 Subaru Leone RX TURBO STi

Turbo Seal Clamps

Constant Tension Turbo Seal Clamps - With a convoluted heat-treated band that provides spring-like tensioning effects for thermal cycling hose applications.

Murray’s unique “DUAL BEAD SHIELD” concentrates band-sealing pressure, increasing performance up to 30% compared to standard smooth liners. Flanged edges protect soft hose compounds from abrasion and wear.



when you need the best like the real real races cars !! then these are the best !

Constant Tension Clamps

well the new BW s300sx FMW fits and is in, along with the JDM STi magnesium valve covers.

also had to take the timing belt off and pulleys so I could get to the oil feed line for the AVCS and get the screens out !.. pain in the butt but i had to get it done.

good thing I have room still for the 4" cone aem filter and set up for this turbo.

I had also changed the vacuum lines for the dual wastegates to hi temp silicone to handle the heat stress in that area.

just need to wait for the turbo pipe I ordered so I can complete it all.











and the new brakes set up with stainless steel pistons better for heat transfer on the fluid

so since I am waiting for Franz to come visit and do the magic on the tune for the s300sx, I add some Hella 550 amber retro lights.











and the 1986 Alfa Romeo GTV, 86 Subaru VS 86 Alfa lol

I am also using a 400,000kms used 10MM oil pump that I know works on it !!!

all most there, everything reused from dead bearing #4.




cleaned up the front with Degreaser, time to plan out the new intercooler set up.



looks good with out the bumper lol

Alfa Romeo dual lock Sliders ( parts my dad likes to keep from the 1960's lol)

one down next one to go while i wait for the intercooler that is on its way for tomorrow.


Recaro VW Jetta gli seats (Franz idea put into action)

i was thinking mine was to big LOL
















beam is sliced up and Reinforced ready to go !.. thank you Nam@NVauto for letting me use that fantastic plasma cutter you own !... short work beats the old hack saw way for sure, i need one for my place in the future.

the cooler sure is not small lol, overkill in size for sure but for the future well planned out




6" thick lol

well its been a while, i have been running the motor in a bit all is good ! even beat it up a bit with out a intercooler on she feels good.

what i have been doing to get it done so far is all this stuff.

Recaro seats are both in & i think best freaking seat out there hands down !.. my favourite mod for sure there that good.



so i got the intercooler mounted, she looks ok so far.








so instead of cutting the only mint condition bumper cover left on the plant rare to the Canadian models of the GL-10, I found some scrap yard in West coast Canada that had 2 skins with full Re-Bar set up.

just need to paint the lower section white like the original I have put away for safe keeping.











also who would have new that the BRZ rad is the same size and thicker with the bigger ports !.. its needs a bit of work to put in but same size and 2 Row !







and to make sure I can view all my sensors a AIM MXL Strada

decide to change the cluster set up cant have it the other way, so my scrap yard cluster came in and I made a template out of paper then on aluminium. just need turn lights, VDO fuel guage, high beams and its ready to be put in after paint job.

that's not the oem cluster out my car ! I have it put away.












test fit looks good
