Nah, Kev now you spoiled the surprise !!!

The SC46 is going in my 2.5 JDM STI MY04. Since I want to keep a "stock look" in the engine bay, I'm gonna keep the TMIC, at least for now..
Yes yes yes I know, but in a land where modifying cars is considered a bigger crime than robbing a store (well, more or less.... ), you tend to go the easier way and make it look like nothing's been touched. After all, I'm not the young rebel anymore...

So stock TMIC, EcuTek and thereby MAF although in a bigger tube, and of course other supporting mods.
Running on Vpower it's currently pushing about 430bhp/460lbft @ 1.6bar, and the only way is up, right !?

 

Hi,

the 46 Billet works very well on the 2.5 ltr engines, that said its smaller brother the SC36 Billet is amazing on the road fitted to a 2.5ltr engine, it spools on tickover,

The one we did last week wouldnt do any less than 360BHP and at one stage, just as a quick test, we turned up the wick and saw 400 BHP.

Not bad from a direct fit 16 G Billet turbo, it would be nigh on impossible to tell its been changed, same as the SC46 Billet they really are stealth mods.

Cheers
Kev

 

We have the same crazy laws against modifying cars in Denmark, even a FMIC is a no go here

The trick is to keep the oe look

Your turbo goes today, awaiting courier now, and should be at your local post office before Xmas. They have your phone number on the box.

 

Kev what do i do with the vacumm hose coming from the end of the dump valve when i remove it?

 

If the DV's vac pipe happens to join to a 3-way T-piece, then remove the T-piece and make good the connection for the remaining two bits of vac pipe (by using a 2-way straight coupler, or replacing both pipes with a new longer single piece).

If the DV's vac pipe goes directly to the IM, then remove fully from the manifold, and plug the manifold nipple with something suitable...

 

Hi,

saved me a job.

Alternativly you could paint it gold and hang it from your aerial as a festive gesture.

cheers
Kev

 

Yes its one pipe that goes from the dump valve to the inlet manifold. Il have a look later.
What do you suggest i plug the manifold with?

Thanks

 

Hehe that could look good Kev.

 

I think Subaru do bespoke little friction-fit plastic covers for the IM nipples.... But be prepared, no doubt, to pay through the nose!

Or just use a suitable sized screw or something...

 

Thanks for the help.

 

Anything to make it airtitght... And that will stay in place when the manifold is seeing positive boost conditions!

 

Hi,

just quoted myself to remind everyone the graphs bellow are in relation to the post above.





power at the wheels showing boost and afr.





Only just thawed out the printer and found the minimum power we could get the 36 Billet to do on this 2.5 hawkeye was actually 378.4 BHP not 360 BHP as I mentioned earlier.

Spool on the road was 800 RPM sooner, what a great result.

cheers
Kev

 

Kev, a SC36 on a 2.0 with appropriate supp. mods... Are we talking IRO 340-360+ bhp? Or defo over 360?

 

Hi,

360 BHP should be no probs, add 20% meths and 400 BHP should be on the table.

On the car above we did give it a little squirt as a test, 400 BHP appeared on the screen.

Cheers
Kev

 

These billets are nuts!

 

Ho Ho Ho...

 

Kev,
Great results.

Is there a particular reason why the AFR is getting progressively richer? I am currently doing a dyno tuners course(not EFI 101 but at a trade school in Australia) and the method being taught is to go leaner after max load. Looking at my AFR's from when Andy F mapped my car he also leans out after max load.

 

Hi,

its rich at the top because its a standard 2.5 with the hypereutectic pistons, we add fuel at the top on these engines in an attempt to cool the cylinders and stop the pistons blowing out a land or melting.

Hope that explains it a little.

cheers

Kev

 

Crystal!

Time to start the testing.

cheers

Looking good kev

 

Merry christmas Kev, keep up the good work

 

Kev,


Any chance these titanium wheels will be making a SC46 or other twin scroll appearance that I should hold out for
