Yeah, really.

And JC, what's all that? You calling me a tool or saying I'm screwed, or what..?

I know it's a Phillips head, but..

Agh.

Maybe he wants you to use a scredriver to punch holes in your exhaust.

I have better stuff to do it with. ^.^

Maybe I'm just being cranky.. and a girl.

No, I'd hope you wouldn't listen to JC. :P

Don't start with me again, you'll never win. ;)

How about some more pictures guys? Scott, please tell me you've gotten your car back....

'kay. . .

I spent a week over Xmas putting about 1100 miles on the new motor around the Bay Area. Then I dropped it back off at Gruppe-S. All I need are the headers, BigMAF intake, turbo heat shield, and tuning, and it's done!

Depending on shipping for the BigMAF, I may have the car as soon as next weekend. :)

You better post pics.

All my Cars!
 

past and present!

those rims look great

If you're not going up in life, who is?

Doink, what are all the new mods on your car? STI engine, no?

Yeah: 2.5L STI shortblock, ported and polished WRX heads, GT30-10 turbo (a little small for this application... think of it as a stock STI turbo that spools a little faster due to the dual ball bearings), 800cc injectors, TGV deletes, BigMAF short ram intake, Perrin FMIC.

The car should be a beast, even with the undersized turbo. In fact the smaller turbo may be an advantage in autocross, but I'm pretty sure anyone with a GT30-11 or -12, or any of the TD06-20G and FPGreen guys will kill me on track and the 1/4.

That reminds me, I need to call the shop and see how the compression/leakdown tests went.

Should have went Gt35 with nitrous... :p


JK, that sounds like a sweet setup.

Even though I know you're kidding: Both the GT35 and the nitrous would be counter-productive on a car that's still autocrossed regularly... too much lag on that turbo, and nitrous is illegal in all SCCA classes.

But a rotated GT35R + N2O would be one hell of a drag setup. There's a couple of drag-tards over on I-Club working along those lines.

What does rotated mean?

Rotated means it isn't a 'bolt on' and is rotated a bit from the normal mounting points. As far as I know, the only way to fit a GT35 into a Subaru is by rotating it. It won't fit in a 'bolt on' application

That's wild.

no, it's from da streets.

Thanks Khail.

Much Better!

Nice. I like that.

Yah, it's definately a step in the right direction. The sidemarkers need to be smoked or somthing now.

Yeah. Ever think of a BIG 16g or a 18g? BIG 16gs spool at like 3200rpm and can make up to 350+awhp. Im sure that with your 2.5l engine, itll spool in the sub 3ks.

No sweat, they look great!
