Franz pictures http://i1260.photobucket.com/albums/...O/IMG_0142.jpg Attachment 46775 Attachment 46776 Attachment 46777 so in order to lower my intake temps with out cutting my hood i sacrificed my a/c system :( . by getting rid of the a/c system i gained just about 20 degrees off the 60 degree iat temp, out side temp is 20 degree. i just could not cut the hood with out trying the last step, a massive awic cooler (26x7x2). if this does not cool my intake then i am busting the saw out and going to town on the stock hood or the brand new OEM one i have laying around that i picked up for this problem. Attachment 46778 so as of now car runs good at 17psi i am a drifter out of control with awd lol. my gas tank sprung a leak do to the vent line sensor not working should have un plugged it like i did for my legacy ! instead it split it self down the side of the tank like a pop can. a new OEM subaru one is on its way so i can put more then 10bucks in the car and make my way to see Franz and get it tuned on the dyno by the end of this fall weather. Attachment 46779 http://www.dieboldautosport.com/nico1e.jpg http://www.dieboldautosport.com/nico2e.jpg http://www.dieboldautosport.com/nico3e.jpg http://www.dieboldautosport.com/nico4e.jpg so i went to Washington D.C to visit Franz and he did a little work on the car and he took me to see the crazy city which is just amazing to see and i cant wait to go back for part 2 of the city !!

well the new BW s300sx FMW fits and is in, along with the JDM STi magnesium valve covers.
also had to take the timing belt off and pulleys so I could get to the oil feed line for the AVCS and get the screens out !.. pain in the butt but i had to get it done. good thing I have room still for the 4" cone aem filter and set up for this turbo. I had also changed the vacuum lines for the dual wastegates to hi temp silicone to handle the heat stress in that area. just need to wait for the turbo pipe I ordered so I can complete it all. Attachment 46727 Attachment 46728 Attachment 46729 and the new brakes set up with stainless steel pistons better for heat transfer on the fluid Attachment 46730 Ver 2 turbo pipes all made simple and silicone, with the fancy clamps. soon its time to tune this craziness.

so the broken spun rod bearing motor with the wiseco pistons and manley rods is alive !! motor #1 EJ22T she lives and is running ok !
but that was just to bleed coolant and do the flush and check everything over. OK SUBARU ! motor #2 (aka the spare), EJ22T with wiseco pistons (@ machine shop getting fitted), Carillo Rods, ACL race bearings. thanks to Dov@NVauto for my pistons and rods ! i picked this time around the super light weight SA rods from carrillo ! on my turbo legacy i used the very expensive and rugged H beam version. ill try something different with the spare. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3791/9...f8faeabb_b.jpg the seat base creation like the passenger i had to make. its all 304L SS so no rust after 50years !... tig weld and we are good to go !.. http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2838/9...90a5dc7c_b.jpg |
well its been a while, i have been running the motor in a bit all is good ! even beat it up a bit with out a intercooler on she feels good.
what i have been doing to get it done so far is all this stuff. Recaro seats are both in & i think best freaking seat out there hands down !.. my favourite mod for sure there that good. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3777/9...7af8cd6e_b.jpg so i got the intercooler mounted, she looks ok so far. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7405/9...65ce4493_b.jpg http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5493/9...c7a88cf2_b.jpg so instead of cutting the only mint condition bumper cover left on the plant rare to the Canadian models, I found some scrap yard in West coast Canada that had 2 skins with full Re-Bar set up. just need to paint the lower section white like the original I have put away for safe keeping. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3818/9...29b3d50d_b.jpg http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5502/9...a0361371_b.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3731/9...e1a63156_b.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3708/9...1ab82ddd_b.jpg also who would have new that the BRZ rad is the same size and thicker with the bigger ports !.. its needs a bit of work to put in but same size and 2 Row ! http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7309/9...393bc8be_b.jpg http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2888/9...9df1a120_b.jpg and to make sure I can view all my sensors a AIM MXL Strada http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3691/9...9537a578_b.jpg |
so far this is how i mounted the aim cluster but i think i will change it once my spare cluster comes in from the scrap yards. the flush mount should look much better if it fits.
http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3826/9...7b7f9301_b.jpg also from japan ! L'aunsport WRC???????????????????????????????????SPARCO WRC hood vents from GR Subaru model. Eita is a great guy even sent me books on subarus and mesh. these vents are like subaru america rally car ones with out the hole trim, they have the L shape thing and just cut out. http://www.launsport.com/cargo357/im...ET%20FRP/1.jpg http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs170/...52/img/369.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3704/9...8c7b747c_b.jpg |
decide to change the cluster set up cant have it the other way, so my scrap yard cluster came in and I made a template out of paper then on aluminium. just need turn lights, VDO fuel guage, high beams and its ready to be put in after paint job.
that's not the oem cluster out my car ! I have it put away. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3734/9...202a0c7a_b.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3811/9...0b5d7ce4_b.jpg http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2871/9...e1849c6f_b.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3731/9...e8400541_b.jpg test fit looks good http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3750/9...a1919aca_b.jpg |
