Ok this thing is looking likely to happen. And leaning towards the GCG turbos for their straight bolt on features. Engine is still open deck so realise I can't push huge boost or shoot for 300kw. However would I have similar driavability out of GCG GTX3071R compared to a VF22 but with more punch? Would be happy with 240-250kw. So considering if I would be better to go down to the GTX2867R. For more response. Be interested in some feedback.

Hey guys, Just wanting to know if anyone has fitted an X-Force downpipe to a GC8? If so was the length correct to bolt up to a GC8 Catback exhaust? Also what was done about the O2 sensor port being directly on top of the bell mouth and not off to the side? (When directly on the top the O2 sensor hits the clutch master cylinder) Very Interested to hear feedback from anyone who has used this downpipe. Cheers

The aim would be more around the 260-280kw mark. 300kw i think would be outside the capability of where the motor is at present.

Yes no doubt top end it would spank a VF. This particular build is running a custom water to air top mount intercooler so cooling should be reasonable.......if it worked well I may potentially look at replacing my VF22 on my recently tune RA also. Which is running a P West cold air intake and P West TMIC. I did a test last weekend driving the car around town with the intercooler waterspray on Auto. After 15min drive the intercooler was very cool still. So this would help cooling if I went to a bigger turbo on the RA....and yes I do know it doesn't take long to drain the tank in the GC8 waterspray system.

Interesting feed lback on the Tomei Be really interested to know if funkys was a GCG stock location or not. They claim similar response to stock turbo but it would be good to have some real life feedback. Also there is no work done to the heads on the motor it would be going on. Would like more power than a VF but if it is going to have heaps more lag, I may be better to stick with vf23 or 22 and sacrifice some power for quicker response.

Hey guys, Anyone on here have any real life experience with the stock location GCG GTX2867R or GTX3071R bolt on turbos? I know there are a lot of variables but how responsive and roughly when do you see full boost with these? I know there's a few going to say stock location is a waste of time but this is specifically for a project where we are keeping stock location turbo. But wanting more than what a VF can offer. Be glad of any feedback.

I may be wrong but don't quite a lot of tuners lock the ECU's? Just had my car tuned at EnH and happy as with the result and they a good folk to deal with.

The top left corner of the sheet says flywheel torque, hp and kw. So maybe its not at wheels. Even so thats still very good number from a TD04. I have a friend in aussie with v7 wrx with a vf48 on it and sti intercooler and only made 176kw at wheels.

If you don't end up using the STI TMIC I could be interested in buying it if it is in tidy condition.

I had a friend 3D print an AFM pipe without the AFM in it for when I tuned the car on the Link ecu. Keeps the intake set up looking factory and means you don't have the AFM sitting in the intake doing nothing and looking messy.

Yep I got in there tonight and checked all the connections with the ignition on. Must have been a bad connection on one of the power wires as when I gave it a wriggle and it came good again.

I dont recall seeing a black box as such but it does have the extra wire to plug into the factory wiring so that the light doesn't show on the dash. Does the black box mount up behind the gauges inside the pod? It has been working fine for the last 6 months it has been in the car. I had been driving it Saturday morning and everything was fine. Went to go out in the afternoon and pressure gauge was totally up the whack. I un plugged it and plugged it back in and started the car again and the gauge was read fine again that one time. Now its continually reading bad.

Hey guys, Just want to confirm what oil pressure senders work with the Old skool factory lamco gauge set and wiring? From memory there was a thread somewhere online saying Defi ones work. Is this correct? Are there other options that would work also? I think my sender has gone bad as it reads 2 bar of oil pressure with only the ignition on and then goes to maximum when engine starts. Or could this be bad wire connection?? Be glad for feedback

Should be able to hit close to 230kw with the VF22. And they are fun!

Ok thats interesting. Perhaps the V7 splitter is similar in size to the PW one so have the sprayers in similar spot. Maybe I should just look for some factory V7 sprayers.

I looked at garden sprinkler options but they are quite a lot smaller than the allocated mounting holes. I didnt want to go drilling holes al through the splitter to mount them. Will look into spray and wipe nozzles.

hey Guys, Anyone had any experience fitting intercooler water spray nozzles to the Process west intercooler splitter? The stock nozzles are designed to mount horizontally and spray horizontally. however the process west splitter is bigger so the mounting position is vertical, which means the stock sprayers spray directly onto the end tank/throttle body area of the intercooler. For the moment I have fitted some universal windscreen washer nozzles and butchered the ends so the little balls can spin far enough to spray almost right angles so the water hits the intercooler core. The annoying thing is they just squirter the water instead of creating a finer spray/mist. Anyone got a better solution than what I am using currently??? Be glad to hear.

Don't you want your bonnet to stay locked when on the motorway though??

Awesome! This is good to hear. Will look into a G4+. Yes, I have heard the possum links don't have the features new ecus have so its hard to get a decent tune out of them.

hey guys, After a link ecu to suit a 1990 rs legacy loom. Is there any plug and play options available or is it just the wrx's that link make a plug in ecu for? Or would I need a wire in ecu? Or is it possible to repin the legacy wiring to run a v3-4 wrx plug in link ecu? I do have a possum link I could use but am considering getting a later model ecu. If I use the possum link ecu, has anyone here had much experience with them? Can you get a good tune out of them? Be glad of people responses. Cheers

To settle the debates around how ugly Travis Pastranas aero package looks or what we all think it should have looked like. This explains the reasoning behind. https://www.thedrive.com/tech/38024/the-aero-on-travis-pastranas-subaru-wrx-sti-gymkhana-11-car-is-mad-science I have to say the full Gymkhana video is insane. Some serious piece of engineering to make a car do all those things.

Interesting, do you know if this is at 80% duty cycle or 100%? Or are all injector sizes measured at 100%

Bit of a thread dredge here. Random question on the topic of Phase 2 Yellow injectors from V5-6 sti motors. Are these 440cc from factory or 550cc?? I have been hearing lately that they are actually 550cc. Tuner said I still had headroom in the fuel system on my stock Yellows at 226kw.

3 more days to go on this sale.

850cc is all I would need. They in good condition? I won't need the rails, PM me what you could do them for.
