there forged . i have a block ect sitting in my garage

there not as good as aftermarket forged ones tho thats for sure.

Not as good lol.....40psi is insane, the times its doing even fully built motors struggle to achieve.....im not saying your wrong but 40psi race fuel and 30 psi pump gas is pretty dam strong

from what I've read, the v7 block (207) is semi closed, totally forged internals, avcs heads... nom nom. v8's went to semi forged components I think??

Yea id say it needs to be forged to handle 40psi lol even if its race gas

[Stock v7 block 10.22!!!!]

Saw some videos and read some threads on this person in ausi running 10.22 at 219.7km/h in his stock version 7 sti blocked gc8, his mods are jun cams, jun cam gears, head studs, gt35r at 40psi , headers, computer, race fuel......i didnt know a ej207 from a v7 was capable of running a 10.22 at 219km/h plus ....lots of people on here told me there isn't much difference between a version 7 sti internals and say a gc8 sti ej20.....guys in ausi believe its a much better block and their times speak for themselves........there are others running low 11s etc with version 7 ej207, is this all real or b.s???? Im running a little over 240kw at the wheels with my version 7 spec c blocked gc8 version 6 with a td06 at 19psi but no where near what these guys are running

Below is the thread discussing about the 10.22 sec car......plate is gtreta

[Question Re: Clutch Start]

 BIGSOOT said:

so have it disconnected and then a heavy duty clutch can be used ?

Heavy duty clutch can be used with the clutch in start but it just causes added wear thats all

[Question Re: Clutch Start]

On stock or mild clutch i dont see any problems but on a heavy clutch set up i wouldnt run it.......the added pressure on the thrust washer with minimum or no oil being present on first start up is a bit worrying for me.

[Question Re: Clutch Start]

 pappu said:

clutch starts on all v7 sti

see if the plug has been hard wired to override the switch

some ppl do that usually when have auto start alarms or too lazy to keep putting clutch in lol

the switch is on the top end of the clutch pedal by a little tab on the pedal that presses the swich when pressed down

also in some cases if car was rewired due to damage (know of 1 water damaged car that had the clutch thing not wired in and just bridged elsewhere)

Not trying to scare you but if you have a heavy duty pressure plate then it wouldnt be a good idea to step on the clutch on start ups as it puts a bit of pressure on the crank shaft which puts a bit of wear of the thrust bearing (washer) and can cause crank walk over time it just means the crank starts to have a bit too much movement overtime and engine rebuilt time this was a huge thing on some supra forums as almost all supras were running heavy clutches making decent power and some of them suffered crank walk due to clutch starts.....

must be GM

Check LINK-ELECTRO website to confirm model

Yea the instruction manual says gm 3bar map sensor but doesnt say what voltage so i assume they must all be the same.....

 Stoffa said:

yes you need to find a GM 3 bar sensor for use with the possum link, you can t use any old random one as there is only 2 options in the link menu, factory and the GM one

you need this one http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/performance/electronics/auction-380800239.htm

I've dealt with this guy before too, hes great to deal with.

So any gm 3 bar map sensor will do?

[Link 3 bar map sensor]

Can i run link 3 bar map sensor on my possum link v5-6 ecu? The stock one is maxed now so the car is running rich azzz over 18psi and we cannot do anything about it, at 20psi its running 10.6:1 afr in higher revs as injector duty cycle goes to 99percent no less no more which shows map sensor maxing out

[207.4 kw @ the wheels in V7STI ?? Quarter mile estimates ??]

What time will a 240kw gc8 pull? Stock weight is 1270kg have done a bit of weight reduction should be around 1250kg...Hoping for low 12s

just going off experience etc...i use to build motors and was allways was told by many of other motor builders to never idle the engine upon a new rebuild...as the bores will glaze....

its down to preference...if u wana idle ur car up thats fine...

but if u look at it from this point of view...add up all that 5-6 minutes of idling ur engine...think that all that running ISNT on the odometer.....

not to mention the gas u use..

even caltex had a huge write up a wile ago about idling ur engine upto temp... its better to have the engine under load during warmup

but its all to do with ur own preference....

u treat ur car how u want to as u mod the car how u want to

I cant drive my car after 30secs of idling as the aftermarket ecu it has doesnt like being driven cold .....does sitting in traffic cause the same damaging effect?

[quote name='pappu said:

hmmm last time the mechanics tried - it didnt fit..

maybe they didnt do it right..

or was it that sensors needed swap over and wiring redone...

cant remember ???

but yea something custom had to be done so we just stuck with the v6 manifold...

u have FMIC so i dont think ther is much need to spend up on doing the manifold etc...

/quote]

I have done it on my old bh and used the V5/6 throttle body, had to make an adapter plate out of 3mm alloy, took about 5 mins to make, very easy and that way the sensor issue is bypassed, looks good having it on there to.

how to fit the throttle body http://www.clubsub.org.nz/forum/index.php/topic,16720.0.html

I think the v5 and v6 intake manifold bolt pattern is different from the leagcy and imprezas before v5 and after v6 so im kinda stuck now and finding new aftermarket injectors is becoming hard as well, anyone with any ideas where i can find some bolt on injectors or maybe topfeed fuel rails for v5 and v6?

[pink injectors into v6 sti]

 xecuta said:

My mate just did this for someone

Got both the rail and injectors from

A gdb

Hey bro can you mate do the same mod for me? how much does he charge and can he do it for a version 6 manifold if i supply gdb rails and injectors?

[pink injectors into v6 sti]

thanks guys.....after i take out the two strips is there a chance the plug will pop off easy? Dont want that happening under boost .......also will the injector drop in with aftermarket top feed fuel rails?

[pink injectors into v6 sti]

If i buy top feed aftermarket rails to fit my v6 inlet manifold will the pink tops just drop in? Is the wire plug the same for yellow top v6 and pink top v7 injectors?

[quote name='substirex said:

So has anyone here Blew up a factory forged engine like a smashed forge piston or/and snapped or bent forged rod? I mean a genuine factory forged engine not some cast wannabe... if did what power you were doing before it did?

/quote]

AFAIK only the pistons are forged on the "factory forged engines". The subaru rods are all pretty much the same skinny breakable things with crap rod bolt/nut design up until V7 STI (when they went to a chunkier rod with a better rod bolt).

so the v7 is basically the best??....semi closed deck and beefier rods an bolts
