I'll try to get a pic with the wheel off next time the sedans new owner brings it to my shop for its regular services. I ended up trading the well built, fast and stupid reliable legacy sedan for a full out 04 sti swapped 99 forester with some issues. Time to start over! Don't worry though guys! I w...

Also injectors.. The stock green label is capable of maxing out the 525 sti yellows. I had it tricked by bumping up my fuel pressure to put my injectors into over drive. This will cause it to run rich under any conditions other then full boost.. I used an apexi AFCneo to correct the lower rpm by mes...

Also finished up the cruise control and horn button... Clock spring delete! Functioning horn as well as cruise is nice.. I used a 00 2.5rs cruise stalk with cancel function and it even works! Super happy. http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a311/Gratefuldead538/IMG_20141005_001806-1_zpsf2764f4a.jpg ht...

Thanks ;-) I've put a lot of thought into cockpit layout as I drive the shit out of this car. Best daily driver I've ever had.. http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a311/Gratefuldead538/IMG_20141008_155424_zpsae705be4.jpg http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a311/Gratefuldead538/IMG_20141008_155443_zpsb5a...

Mmmmmm v3 sti wheel

That's exactly how viscous centers are.. They get worse with time and usually after about 10 hard launches they are pretty well shot.. I'm loving this diff locker. Lights all 4 up consistently

Rob 550 tune dropping the hammer on the diff locker enjoy!

I believe its mostly due to boost pressure and mods in general. Our cruise modules don't know what to do with more power.... Out of all my turbo legacy's I've noticed that my swapped l is the best for reliable cruise... It usually keeps boost under 5psi no matter what the terrain is doing (hills and...

Found one more pic.

My car does this if the boost is turned up... If I keep it on the waistgate it helps a lot.. I noticed it much more with my old 92 tw (td04).. Turning boost down with that car helped too.. I'm on a MBC and always have been... I run a dohc 22t with a tdo6 20g and have no issues even over mountain pas...

Updated vid to include plot in same post

Dyno vid!!! Whoot! Edited to keep dyno sheet with corresponding vid. http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a311/Gratefuldead538/th_10343372_838925626141647_795909249_n_zps4c9a129f.mp4 http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a311/Gratefuldead538/10644977_704492692972371_6619970058474777298_n_zpsfd060ddf.jpg

Thanks and yes you can swap everything over. Although its a lot of detailed work. Building a transmission is serious business

Or the dyno reads low, which the dyno owner did say it known to do..

This was on a dynocom dyno known as "the ball buster" (dynocom dynos read about 40hp lower then a dynojet or mustang dyno). What does a stock STI put down on this shop's dyno? Mustang is usually the lower reading of the dynos.....aka the 'heart breaker dyno'. TD Stock 06 sti just did 197w...

I wish my first run was on there. My first pull was 282whp on 14psi. I forgot I had my boost turned down from high way mobbin (MBC).. Anyways at 282 @ 14, and 305 @ 17, that's 7.6 HP per psi.. So add 5psi worth of 7.6 (7.6x5=38.3hp) to my already 305 and that's 340@ the wheels on 22 psi (witch I do ...

Nice finally having a semi local awd dyno.

Closed deck 2.2 turbo block, 97 legacy outback 25d heads with a 20g intake manifold. Tdo6 20g with a massive fmic.. I also run a svx blue label jecs maf with slightly bumped up fuel psi.. This was on a dynocom dyno known as "the ball buster" (dynocom dynos read about 40hp lower then a dyno...

Here are my dyno results on the rob 550 tune.. (Record maybe?) This is on 17psi. With actual road load I'm safe to 22psi with my svx maf (also bumped up fuel psi) 305.6 HP @ 6,250 rpm, 265.1 ft-lbs @ 5,720 rpm 301.3 HP @ 6,190 rpm, 270.4 ft-lbs @ 5,680 rpm 284.1 HP @ 6,170 rpm, 261.1 ft-lbs @ 5,300 ...

Today was dyno day! Set a record (As far as I know) for the "robtune" ecu. 305.6whp/265.1ftlbs @ 17psi. The dynos name is "ball buster" (dynocom dyno) as it reads about 40hp less then a dynojet dyno or mustang dyno.. I was only able to get 17 psi as there just wasn't enough rolli...

Well said alphius. Thank you for clairifying for everyone.

Finally tore down my old trans.. Exactly what I was expecting.. No 2nd.

I did the drive shaft extension myself (I'm a welder by profession and an a hobby machinist) my driveshaft is straight but not balanced (can feel slight vibration under heavy load (20psi). Yes this a true poor mans dccd. Its a driver controlled center diff. But only options are open or locked.. Anyw...
