Thank you! Time is on our side.

I have always loved the idea of building a Subaru but it is hard to shallow all the supporting mods sometimes, but something like a GC8->full STI thing or a nicely done 02-03 looks really good.

 

If I had the money, I'd buy a un-fucked-with bugeye wagon and pay a specialty subaru shop to go ***** to the walls with an STI build.

Hell, I could probably have that done to my current wagon. It'd probably cost on the order of like... 15-20 grand though. The idea of bringing new life to that car is super appealing though....but it would need damn near EVERYTHING swapped.

This is a local guys bugeye. One of my favorite cars.

BAHAHHAHAHA THE ******* INFRACTION.

Also good note, crossflow is ordered. Hoping to have it soon and never have to worry about temps again.

 

revision sent. make 100% sure the timing sync is not wrong anymore. 15.5 to 6 is a huge swing and explains the fireballs as discussed lol

you were trying to be cool like aidan , running like no timing

 

*sets timing map to -10 for full flame map tune*

 

I can absolutely make you a flamethrower map. valve reliability might suffer a bit though

 

I wouldn't be surprised what my valves look like now...

Inconel valves possibility lol

 

Crossflow is amazing. So nice to drive the car and not worry about temps.

+1 to having Vlad e-tune your car if you're a noob like me. Helpful and quick. Car is going great. Absolutely put the hurt on a MK4 GTI with a turbo upgrade.

Xidas next.

 

we haven't even upped the boost from the low wg yet either
(though we probably can't do much with it anyway, you're already near the limit of the rods lol)

 

I do have a set of forged rods..

Good thing I have a 6258, nowhere near its limits.

 

here's why I like EFR's: by the time you go from 8% throttle to 100%, it's already at 3psi. and this is at 2200RPM mind you

And this is with the EBC not even working yet. let's see if 20% duty wakes it up, if not you'll need to test it like we discussed.

 

new thread title too lol

 

A+ thread title, already pricing out a built block, but as it is, I think I have about the limits of power for my TEIN coilovers and old, tired "pun" Z2 tires.

I have another log where I am hitting peak boost (I think it was 7psi like last month) and it would do the same, -5psi to 7psi in less than the time it took to go 2% tps to 100% tps. SO great. I get the tiny turbo partial throttle, hand of god, torque feeling, which is super addicting, yet she pulls hard into redline; it will be even more so on a built block. 300kpa on e85 sounds exciting

I just need to sort out my cooling system, I think I either need a bigger fan or I may have some air in the system after the new radiator.

 

Put that thing at the biggest incline you can and eliminate that variable.
But ultimately I still think just 1 stock fan aint gonna cut it, you either need the big spal or 2 stockers. But Andrew will point you in the best direction cooling wise

 

Especially with my way too big (blocks 100% of bumper mouth and then about 2-3" higher than the crash support) and not so efficient fab9 stage 2. It is like the Achilles's heel of my build so far lol

 

I made a mistake and sat/rode in a Recaro Pole position.

Does it fit a miata?

 

posting this here for reference

Read the discussion around dialing in the bcs.
1) figure out the range
2) figure out if it operates in normal or inverted mode
3) use setup mode to establish boost bias table
4) finalize closed loop boost for our 10psi everywhere goal

 

Depends on how you define "fit".

Tunnel bashing will definitely be required. If you want it centered with the steering wheel you will likely need to cut and patch in a notch. The shoulder wings will probably still hit the doorcard, but not enough to prevent closing. The tricky part will be mounts if you nee to have the seat far back in the car. The Garage Star brackets will limit rearward travel a lot. The adjustable PCI brackets will give you full rearward travel, but mount you higher. The fixed PCI mount or the newer Planted brackets may work better, but I never tried them.

Source: I had a Recaro Profi SPG XL (maybe slightly bigger than the PP) in my NA for a while. Decided to go back to OEM NB2 seats until I can pony up for some fabrication work that will allow a bigger seat to fit well.

 

I had one in my Miata, but it was Right Hand drive.

I made mounts to sit it right on the floor (fixed) and with it that low and pushed as tight to the trans tunnel as possible it only barely touched the door panel. Consider that when looking at how it will fit on the left side...

 

Seem to be making good progress finally with the boost control, tune revision sent
