Bob-
I would like to say that you can just add a turbo and go, but there are a
few things that need to be changed- namely the pistons- need to swap for
turbo Legacy units- stock compression on the SVX is too high for a
pressurized intake, but not too bad at $95 each and new rings to go with
them of course. Also ported the heads for good measure, re-lapped the
valves, and had a minor re-grind to the exhaust cams to run better at the
higher RPMs The other thing that I had to do was change the injectors to
larger ones- from a 300zx- other than that- I had a lot of help from
Crossflow Aero in Canada, including a pre-programmed ECU which also required
a few minor changes - different sensors- but otherwise, not too difficult-
changing pistons was the biggie- not too hard, but you need some dexterity
for sure.... Crossflow also has a mount that fits perfectly to the XL- kind
of pricey, but very well made...
I will let you know my schedule for Sun-N-Fun, but I should be at the
dinner.....

Alex

  Alex,

  Can you tell me more about the turbo'ed svx.  Maybe we can meet somewhere
during sun-n-fun and discuss this?

    Well, the sun is shining, and the epoxy is flowing again here in Dallas,
so I am inviting all  area builders to come and see what is going on at
hanger 44 in Denton- all are welcome-   the venerable  turbocharged Subaru
SVX  is mounted, wiring is starting, so anyone who wants to come an have a
look-se let me know- I will be going to SNF to look for some goodies, but
sometime soon after that would be good- it has been a while since our last
meeting.........

    Alex
