I should add that if you want to go with a PPG gearset, you need a WRX transmission case. If you watch NASIOC, an '04 or '05 6mt can be had for around $2500. I also see used PPG boxes go for reasonable money, compared to putting one together from scratch. I was wondering about that. I wasn't exactl...

So here's my dillemma... I'm preparing to do a 400 whp build on my SS and have come to the understanding that the OE 5MT isn't really strong enough to support such hp for long. With this in mind I have two options and both (I think) will cost around the same amount of money. Option 1: Do an STi tran...

Lets make sure we maintain an expressed interest in the chips to Revtronix. I emailed them just now to let them know that I am directly interested in their offerings and asked to be put on an email list. I hope it will help to keep them encouraged to expedite the completion of their projects.

Why do I keep getting dropped from the subscription?

Anyways...

Still waiting for stage X

Lets get him back on the road...

Help Turbobeater Out

Ok, many of us have been following the thread in the electrical section about how a company called Revtronix is developing performance mods for the OE ECU for the 91-94 Legacies. Chip for stock ECU! Turbobeater has been working with them by providing his own car for use as a guinnea pig. In his last...

Re-subscribing and waiting for the stage X chip for my build.

What about the GT3071R and 850cc injectors?

Posted mostly for the auto-subscribe.

Imagine what you have to do to make 400 whp and now you know what I'm going to do.

I'm no stranger to tuning so I'll want a set-up that I can hook to my laptop and fully tune.

You'll want to stick with copper gaskets. You can get new ones from any local auto parts store. While its nice to have ones that fit perfect it's not totally necessary. The pressure from the banjo bolt is enough to make a less than perfect fitting banjo bolt washer/gasket seal nicely. If all else fa...

Turning the key before depressing the clutch to fully on whatever it is called, allows fuel to be pumped and Fresh oil to be pumped through the turbo, Keeping it from Starting on old dry oil, of course it wont matter unless in the long run, eventually damaging your turbo, i think? The oil pumps are...

So, you're saying that simply turning the key to the "on" position and leaving it there for a few seconds before actually starting the car will prime the turbo with oil?

In other words...

Key is on and car not running at all; right?

Turbo timers are mainly for non-cooled turbos. You can run one but its not absolutely necessary since the TD04 stays relatively cool with respect to the fact that it has coolant running through it.

The above explanation of priming a turbo confuses me so could you fully explain what you mean.

It's hard to say if you'll have up-pipe clearance issues. It looks to me as though your up-pipe is routed where a normal OE downpipe would go but since you're using a different turbo and therefore different downpipe you may get away with it for clearance. Looks good and hopefully minor (if any) clea...

I have one from an 02 and two from 04's. The one currently on my car is one of from an 04.

All I know is that all three TD04's I've put on my 98 OBS that came from WRX's all boost 8 psi. This is the wastegate spring pressure using no boost controller.

Do WRX's have boost controllers that allow them to boost 14 psi?

I thought the wastegate actuator in conjunction with the wastegate itself controlled how much boost your turbo makes. I though the BOV/BPV merely regulates that amount of residual pressure left in the intake tract prior to the TB when in partial throttle or in closed throttle conditions. I say intak...

For starters those are side feed injectors.

I don't know much about the European STi's except that they are 2.0l and may then require a smaller injector.

It's odd that the item location is in Florida yet the auction is done in GBP for currency.

What is the impedence of Subaru sidefeeds?

Well...

Here are the technical specs for the G4.

G4 Storm

and then compare to the G3...

LinkPlus G3

What's your opinion?

Simon, from Link ECU quickly replied to my pricing inquiry and confirmed that it is indeed $1400 New Zealand dollars. The way I see it, even if there were some pinout issues that had to be reworked for USDM cars it is still totally worth it for a mere $973. I'm now more inclined than ever to give th...

The sales rep responded and stated the price of the G4 is "$1400nz"

Now, I don't know for sure if that's $1400 US dollars or $1400 New Zealand dollars. Either price is fair assuming once again that it's PnP.

$1400 NZd = $973 USd

An exhaust leak will show itself at all levels of operation and be most noticable at acceleration of any kind. Crawl under the car with it running and listen and feel around the gasket areas for leaks. Once in awhile the pipe itself cracks (especially if its a thin walled header) and you'll have to ...

Wow...I'm 0 for 2

I really do know the difference as I've dealt with both of them before.

It's unlike me to follow-up one brain fart with another of not only equal but of greater proportions.

They haven't released pricing yet but if it follows the industry trend it will likely be in the $1500 range.

I'll try and find out more.

Thank you for the input. That's just what I wanted to hear. The EMU was all of 1.5 hrs of splicing time and would have been less if my leg hadn't kept falling asleep. So next I will turn to the WRX ECU and go from there. I was thinking as I was writing and in the midst of it all was beginning to rea...
