    hey brad what size AN fittings did you use?

     

     

    I made the mistake of using -8 an fittings because the ID on the -8 matches the orifice size of the inverted flange inside the cooler fittings. If that didn't make sense...look into either fitting on the cooler and you'll see a flare inside and the hole that goes through the flare and into the cooler(were the oil flows) that inside diameter matches that of a -8 fitting. However i found out the hard way that you can not buy a -8an to a 3/8 hardline compression fitting, you can only buy a -6an to 3/8 compression fitting. So i ended up buying a -8 to -6 adapter anyway. At that point, you've hit your flow restriction so it makes no sense to run -8 line....just go -6 the whole way! I also found out that Earl's(holley product) makes the nicest -6 to 3/8 hard line compression fitting :thumbs: .

     

    Let me know if you need anything else!

    adding more hp to your motor is going to "slip" the converter to a higher stall. So adding nitrous or a supercharger will alter where the converter flashes at.(as long as the n20 is sprayed right on the launch)

     

    Brake stall is usualy like 200-400 rpm below what the converter will flash at. With my 2800 PI i can only brake stall to 1800, and the converter flashes around 2200....but not for long

    heres the deal, i only know this much because my buddy has one, and is a subaru nut. everyone wrx is turbo and awd, however, there is an OPTION, to have no turbo, and it takes a little off the base price. the option is there specifically for people that want to fix up the car, and know that they are going to add a different turbo anyways.

     

     

    that would be news to me, however i double checked the web site and it doesn't list the option of removing the turbo. It lists all the options to upgrade to stuff the STI has but not to remove the turbo. I'd be interested to see where your buddy got his info from. and i would think it would cost them more to alter the assembly line to make 1 car that doesn't have a standard feature, and then put a different exhaust system, different manifolds, different pcm, and route all the wire looms different.... :confused:

    Some of the base WRX's are N/A only the top few are turbo

     

    just went on autotrader, everyone i clicked on non STI was turbo, i have yet to see one not turbo. The Reg. impreza might not be turbo but as far as i know all the wrx's are turbo. Are you sure your not thinking of the Talon or eclipse?

     

    check the Subaru web site to, and all the wrx's are turbo..

    She can pay him back.

    Twenty years ago his beat up $50 Toyota Corolla beat my 550hp 3000lb 1940 Plymouth in a drag race down our street.

    My car moved MAYBE 5 feet while he drove down the block.

    My launch was full of tire smoke, his fifty bucker made me a big :yellow_loser:

     

    :crackup:

     

    True story!

     

     

     

    :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup:

    my dad told me a story like that about his buddies MG and his 63 409. He'd sit there burning the tires and the MG would just go. It would piss him off to no end.

    I guess I'll be able to tell you all how fast a regular Subaru WRX is.

    My Chickee's brother bought one brand new, but it's not the STI I don't think, it's the one below it.

    My Chickee is already talking smack to him. :crackup:

    They'll be lining em up, you can bet on it!

     

    I don't care about winning or losing if it's FUN. The fun races are the best races IMO.

     

    i think they do high 14's stock

    just got off the phone with them...and turns out i was right. They could not make the 19 lbs limit. I told him if they missed by 21% i wanted 21% off my order and he said 4 times I'll just refund your money. I told him 4 times i don't want the refund, i want what i ordered, so after a lot of talking and asking for a manager(who i was talking to again), i got $100 bucks off the order and another week and half wait. :dunno:

    The heads that they are using are slightly better than yours for a N/A application, but not that much hp difference. There are many differences not seen that is making the numbers that they aren't showing you. Headers and intake change alone would likely be worth 50hp or so on your setup.

     

    I'm assuming you know which "customer" I'm referring to. :jester:

     

    Pic's will be posted soon.

     

     

    Thanks Zippy,

    Yeah, I know your customer.... can't wait to see how it all turns out.

    I have a set of those in my garage with the car intake waiting to go on a customers truck. :D That thing would have made more power with the right cam. I'd like to use them on the 6.0L in my truck also.

     

     

    zippy, where is the huge difference coming from between those heads and my motor. We were thinking about 440 at the crank with my motor right? My cam is a little more aggressive then that to, so those heads and intake really make 100 hp more then my TEA's??

    By the way I'm sure your "customer" is going to be happy with the set up. i cant wait to hear how it works out!

    so i tried to check the web site today and they no longer list the wheel i ordered.....they have the same style wheel but they are saying it is 24 pounds now. I book marked the original web page that had the description of what i ordered and the web page has been shut down.... :dunno:

     

    So i haven't called them yet, but i'm thinking they advertised a 19 lbs 20" rim before they could make it 19lbs. Now they figured out it was impossible and up'ed the weight to 24 lbs.

     

    So what can i do? I ordered a 19 lbs 20" rim, and they have kept me waiting almost 5 weeks. This is false advertising right? I'm not sure what they are going to do, just send me the 24 pound rim....or cancel my order and say sorry... :dunno: If they send me a 24 pound rim, they missed by like 21% :nono:

    Hope to see you guys down there.

     

    I spent the whole day adding my new cooler, changing tranny fluid, and changing fluid in both diffs. And now i have a new tune to try out as well.

    Jettas? What kind? I raced my homie that had a Jetta with an exhuast and intake and I smoked him. I also smoked a GTI. I beat a couple of modded civics and they couldn't believe I was stock. Ricers are pretty crazy though, that fool I raced went through stops, I didn't go through them cause I didn't want my truck getting hit. I runned a lot of ricers and to this day I have never lost to one, but yeah there are some pretty fast ricers but in the end they don't look as good as Silverado SS. I wanna race 350 and G35 but they never wanna race.

     

     

    Any car that can run a mid to low 15 pass is a good run for a stock truck. I'm not sure what the Jetta's run, but i saw a GTI running mid low 15's last weekend.....and i kinda thought that was pathetic but if thats what they run, then it's still a good race for a stock truck. If you race a 350 or g35 your going to get it handed to you, still be fun, but you'll lose. And i saw the v-tech civics, the brand new ones running high 14's last weekend, so yeah that will beat most stock trucks.

    damn, ok.

     

    *note to self: dont race awd ricers*

    not all of em are that bad, you just picked about the 2 worst. The regular WRX is a good run, the mazda 6 speed will go around 14.0 with a good driver, and the jetta and GTI are a good run to. I'll tell you what though, the "ricers" are really turning around and making some great HP with awesome weight to HP ratios. The STI, EVO, mazda speed, 350z, g35, SRT-4, maxima, even the v-tech civics are all running pretty damn good.

    anybody know how our trucks do against stock STI's or stock Evo's?

     

     

    yeah....they kill us. My truck ran 15.0 stock, the STI can and does run low 13's. I think the Evo's run high to mid 13's.
