AMS made a subaru turbo kit :)
I know, I know its not an evo.... but its quick
Well you all knew it wasn't going to be long before we designed a turbo kit for the Subaru. And now you have it!
This in our prototype GT30R AMS V-band Turbo kit. This kit particular kit is using the new Tial V-band housing. Please keep in mind that the way this kit sits is not necessarily how we are going to release it.... but its close.
The numbers were VERY surprising.
The mods on the car were as follows:
AMS Prototype TMIC
AMS Prototype Catback Exhaust
AMS Prototype GT30R V-band Turbo kit
AMS Prototype Header
Deatschwerks 850cc injectors
Walbro Fuel Pump
Cobb Access port
Boost: Spiking to 22 Holding at 20
AFR: Low 11's under WOT
Fuel: 93 Octane Pump gas
The car its being compared to is our shop 05 when it had the following mods:
AEM Cold Air intake
Vibrant Catback exhaust
Open Source Tune
And now for the dyno chart:

This thing just hauls!!! I am so excited to try this thing on some big boost and see what it can do. We are also going to do a test with our prototype FMIC and swap the turbo to a GT35R to see what she can do... I can't WAIT!
Here are some pictures of the kit, again keep in mind this is not production ready. Also that top mount is also just a prototype for testing and now what our production piece will look like.








RACE GAS NUMBERS!!!
Finally, The EVO X here at the shop has slowed testing a bit with having to split the projects up.
In any even I am pretty pleased. This test was done on C16 and nothing else changed.
485WHP on a top mount.... not too bad LOL
The three charts in order of lowest HP to highest are:
Stock Sti
My sti with the 30R on pump
My sti with the 30R on C16

I can't wait for you to push the limits of this car! I am very curious to see what YOU guys think this car can do on a daily basis!! And of course with quality AMS setup.
I want to see what this does in the 1/4 with this power. I also want to see how much power this block can take before internal mods are needed? I love my Evo but its looking like the STI is a better bang for the buck.

The bungs are for measuring pressure drop and temperature change across the core. I put the same bungs in the stock IC to do baselines and design our core. BTW we use only the highest quality cores for our EVO and upcoming Subaru IC's. You'd be surprised how many other cores are out there that perform poorly. So far this core, although expensive, is hands down the best at keeping temps in check and at the same time minimizing pressure drop.
Seriously it's details like that that differentiate you from the rest. Do you play with architecture and volume of the endtanks much or do you just work with whatever room your given? Have you ever played with trying to manipulate the flow of air before the core within the end tank or do you not see a need for it in terms of the consistency of the pressures across the core and end tanks?
Thanks martin. Keep raising the bar.
