I loved it until I damaged 1st gear with an exedy triple puck cerametallic disc.

When I was learning how to launch with it, I got the worlds worse clutch shudder... I mean dash shaking gear damaging clutch shutter from the gods. real bad. From then on, 1st gear on the STi gearset whined abit. A month or so later she gave out on me.

The ratios are MUCH better and until my little issue I had, it shifted PERFECTLY with nary a crunch or grind.

Now that I have learned how to drive with that clutch, I love it... unfortunately it grabs so good, that wheel spin is inevitable. Thus my 1.86 sixty foot above. I launch and the tires go up in smoke (this on 225/50s, stock is 205/55s)! I think I need to lower the tire pressure abit.

Anyway Eric, thanks!

Glad to see dug-e-fresh over here from NASIOC! Your car is looking better than ever, man. Welcome to EvoM's ETD forum and the daily "EVO8POWAR dRaggun' p0St, y0"!

 

I actually signed up quite a while ago... but I guess when the board changed the few posts I did have were lost.

I visit quite alot... its a great site here.

take 'er easy and thanks!

DAM that 5spd case

If was not for the fact that the tranny on wrxs were such a pain in the but I would have done that V.7 swap you did. Great times any plains for the 1825

 

Nah.... the 1825 is just too pricey and comes with now power claims I know of, save a vague reference to making 50 whp more than an 1820... which makes what? lol!

I just purchased a relatively new VF37 for cheap, $275 shipped!, and plan to have one of my twinscrolls sent out for some R&D. Not sure which would be the best candidate, the VF36 or the VF37. They are like the VF34/VF30 in their differences.

Deadbolt Enterprises learned how to convert run-o-the-mill IHIs into PE style turbos.... using the same parts, costing much less. ie- mainly a larger compressor side.

So I guess in reality, if they can do it, I may have an 1825 in my hands when all is said and done. We'll see I guess. I just wanna run 20+ psi to redline, dammit! Is that too much to ask? lol!

I know I can get 11s... the question is, how deep can I take this set-up????

PEs you have to sell a child to be able to afford one

What about the dead bolt godzila with your exhaust housing?

 

That would be sweet... I contacted deadbolt... the next step I guess is to send them one of the twinscollers and see what they come up with.

Hopefully I have something within a month... just installed my modded WRX injectors yesterday, had them flow tested to 850cc!! I updated my UTEC software and scaled them to 730cc, but she is still running PIG rich.

A little more fine tuning, and I'll have her back to what she was.... then new turbo time!

Yep just nip the tip about to try that on EVO injectors 1000ccs hear I come for free

Keep me in the loop on that!! also you know there is a guy in NY that has a sti with 2.5 usdm and the JDM twin scrow set up he is also on this board and nasioc as a vendor. You should see if he wants to get into the action with you on the deadbolt turbos.

FYI

 

MauroMotorsports

contact him!!

 

Yea, he actually consulted me before he went with his twinscroll set-up. He's never really buttoned everything up on that (ie- reached max potential) and I think he's preparing to move on.

The 2.5 with twinscroll = INSTA-BOOST!! But topend wasn't too good. He ran high 12s on pump gas low boost.... can't remember all the details however.

Just out of curiosity, without reading the rest of the postings, why are you running straight C16 (or near straight) on a pump gas reflash for 20psi. Have you thought maybe that's why your running average times. Your tuned for 93 octane, your probably not detonating because your only at WOT for 12 seconds with ample cooldown, so why would you run C16? It's going to make you slower if anything.

You've spent all this money, now spend some the right way. Drive to Ohio, get David to install the EMS, get a pump gas map and one for C16.

 

Hey doug how about you get into the 11's with your stock turbo before you go and get a bigger one.

 

so misinformed it's scary. ...and don't try to hide behind the 'if anything'

gasoline is gasoline, it has the same chemical energy as long as it isn't oxygenated-- that's what makes it gasoline. higher octane provides higher resistance to detonation, which enables the engine to be tuned for more power. if all the engine needs to run in a given state of tune without detonation is 91, and you put in 116, all that happens is that you spend a lot more money on gas than you should.

period.

maybe the reason he's running average times is that the stock ECU can only be tweaked so far, especially since there isn't a map at all for 26.5 psi. and maybe it has something to do with david himself suggesting the BR440 in another thread that was questioning the output of the BR500 kit.

hmm

 

Im not an expert with this, so please, if you are going to flame, @ least make it a knowledgable claim so I can learn more, but from my VW days, I remember many 1.8t guys, including myself throwing in some leaded race gas(and yes, many of us had no cats) in an effort to achieve better times without worrying about det or the ecu pulling timing. But with the pump gas "chip" tune, the cars consistently ran like complete crap with race gas.
