turbocharging a 1993 subaru Impreza wagon?

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

i want to turbo charge my 1993 subaru Impreza AWD wagon. where would be the best place to look and what kind should i get? it has around 110 HP. how much would this cost? how long would it take for a DYI job and how much would it cost to get someone else to do it for me?

Couple of ways to do this right. One is to build the engine to handle the boost and buy a bolt on turbo kit from AVO. You will make less power than a stock WRX for about $7000. Or for a little less, you could probably have an older WRX motor and ECU transplanted into your car. I have seen this done at some shops for as little as $5000. If you were looking for a simple bolt on solution, you will not be able to push much boost on your stock motor and it will not be worth the money.

What should i get for my first car?

Sunday, March 28th, 2010

hey guys :)
im getting my first car soon and want suggestions on what car to get.
Im a 16 year old girl and love the beach, going out with friends and really just having fun.
I think that little like 4WD are cute, but dont like wagons or hatchbacks.. and have my eye on the suzuki vitaras (convertible little 4WD)
Im looking to spend about $6000 AUS dollars.
any suggestions would be great!!
thanks :)
It should be 4-door, 4-cyls, not sporty. I would prefer Honda or Toyota… First time drivers usually have much more expensive car insurance, and it depends from car. You should compare insurance rates while choosing the car - for example here - carinsurance.yoll.net

if you scored 10-15 Positive realist that looks at the reality of a thing and believes you can overcome the negatives. you are assertive also a perfectionist to a degree. You are detail oriented and organized. 15-20 you are a realist that takes things at face value and runs with it. you tend to be a little less organized but you are efficient and you have a great memory.

Transmission pan for 97 mercury sable station wagon?

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

I found out that there is a hole in the transmission pan of my 97 mercury station wagon and I was just wondering how much it would cost to get it fixed or replaced.

Shouldn’t cost much. Should be very cheap. All they’ll do is take bolts of your pan, remove the pan, put a new one in. They’ll probably try and get you to change the filter. Which you should if you haven’t in the last 50,000 miles. Now for that service it’s about 90 bucks including parts. Much cheaper just for the pan change. But you should definitely change the filter and the fluid if you haven’t in awhile or ever.

hi.guy who answered question,your wrong.

Pretty sure they are on the left hand side of the car near the airbox. has the VIN, engine number and year on a riveted plate.
Not sure where they are on the engine itself but i bet your manual will tell you.
