Just got few questions.

What to do to beat WRX???
I know few people have done it already.
What kind of a setup would I have to have???

Turbo DAHHH!!!
I want it, and I'll get it , just how much PSI???
thx

 

do a search man, to beat a wrx... u need a turbo. all the basic bolt on aint gonna cut it.

 

yeah i know i know.
I tried to look for it but I want to built the turbo kit myself just need to know what kind of turbo and how much psi.

 

if you have a manual trannny than you can't run over 7 or 8 psi without touching the internals.this is what i have heard and if you do change internals i not sure how high you can bump it up

 

Basically you'd need the equivalent of the RRM stage 2 turbo. Not sure exactly what the PSI is but I thinks its like 7-8 on a T-28 turbo.

 

Ok, basically its RRM stage 1 i/c kit at 7psi(all you'll need is an exhaust).. RRM stage 2 kit will allow you to go to psi safely because of their piggy back system(all you'll need is an exhaust) other things such as the header and cat you will need to replace in-order to get boost up that high..

right now i'm at RRM stage 0.5(non-i/c@5psi)w/ header + test pipe(w/stock exhaust) haha.. and i mess up wrx's on the highway only.. havent had time to race my friend.. but, i nor do RRM condone street racing of any type. i'm just saying you know they're rubbin up on me.

If you're looking to build your own turbo set up. You have to decide on what type of turbo you will use.. i've seens omeone use a t3/t4.. i actually have the link. and i've seen others with t25/t28s those are more common. Also, you will need to find someone to make you an exhaust manifold. After that you'll need someone to make your piping.. ebay intercooler.. FMU.. upgraded fuel pump or boe's upgraded fuel rails.. better plugs set to .030.. one of your fans have to be moved to the other side.. tapping the oil pan. etc. etc.
**NOTE THIS IS ONLY FOR UP TO 7PSI**

If you wanna boost more than 7 on a custom turbo kit, i'm pretty sure that you'll need internals such as rods and pistons... i think pistons are good up to 7psi and rods are up to 12.. i forgot where RRM blew their rods out at. but that's all i know.. i've been reading everything i can for the past year.. i maybe wrong on some stuff so if anyone has more up-to-date info plz feel free to correct me and share the wealth of knowledge

peace up-

thx for help
I was thinking about 7-8 psi didn't know if I should go with IC or no.
I was looking at the one on turbo-kits.com.
RRM has better stuff maybe, but my pockets are empty,

 

now you have to remember that 7psi on a t28/25 does not mean/equal 7psi on a t3/t4 or a 20g....

 

see that's what I was looking for /\

 

ok i have a nonIC and am running 7psi but most ppl run 5psi, with 7psi i pull on wrxs. and guys please stop talking about stuff you dont reall know about, that just further propagates bad information, at least put a disclaimer on it like twinkie did. the rrm st2 kit allows you to boost at 9psi on stock internals ppl.
