Agreed.

Call me gay, but I've always wanted the Sti drivetrain in a Suby Baja.

Very nice, what'd you pick it up for? Mileage? Mods? Spill the beans sucka!

[XSivPSI]

Awesome! what class are you going to run in?

Cool man, go a bit over budget?

Let me know if you want to know anything about anything for it. ;)

Hahah sean!

Btw- baja ftw, imagine that gay piece of machinery wooping your ass...then that makes you gay, which is bad. *jk lol* The baja turbo comes with the sti engine...there are many fast baja's.

[wangan_x]

hmmm

specs:
year- 06
mods- lots
numbers- 340whp/395wtq
mileage- 58k
cost-22k

the car is a gem, the owner was cool, he had everything ever done to the car done at the stealership, and everything was documented, to go into a lil more detail about how cool he was, at one point he had a FMIC, which requires you to cut the bumper, he bought a new front fascia for the car, but it didn't get there before the sale.

plans- dom 3.0, APS TMIC, and Ohlins FPS CO's, and a set of new tires(currently running AVS's :( )

of course I will be in SM Sean.

lol, it wouldn't make him gay unless he liked it, otherwise he just got raped.

as for the FD, it belongs to my buddy Pat, it is slow though, mainly due to fuel cut

Actually what is the biggest tire I should run, I have heard 275's will fit with a lil rolling, but I was thinking 295's for auto x, with CO's and camber plates, so whatcha think?

Dont waste your time buying a TMIC. Heatsoak is heatsoak.

Amazing car for the price!! I hope you enjoy it!

[fly4navy117]

Looks really clean congrats on the pick up.

care to explain, I understand its not the greatest for heat dissipation, but, I want full boost and over 400wtq by 3500 rpm. In case I fall out of boost for whatever reason, I want to be able to get back into ASAP.

Are the any mods(besides FMIC) that will help with the heat soak? I read somewhere about a block off plate which helped keep temps down

[AlmosN8kd]

CO2 sprayer or an interfreezer but the sprayer is not a good idea for a TMIC in my opinion.

[Mowgli87]

Water/Meth injection?

[AlmosN8kd]

Water/Meth injection?


Reduces cylinder temps; doesn't change the fact that the intercooler is heat soaked.

If you do decide to go with the TMIC then a CO2/N2O or water sprayer would be highly recommended. It will be fine on the STI(yes even tho its in the engine bay).

I recommend a FMIC because it will be MUCH more efficient in the long run. It's true that you will notice a little more turbo lag with the front mount than you would with the top mount but the additional power gain after the turbo spools will be rewarding.

Not only will you gain more power throughout the RPM range but the FMIC will come in very handy in situations such as staging at the drag strip and waiting to run at an AutoX. Instead waiting for the TMIC to cool to a temp were its actually doing any good at all, the FMIC would already be performing with a much greater efficiency, even immediately off the line.

A FMIC kit I would recommend over any other kit is here:
Full-Race Reverse Mount (http://www.full-race.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=842_1151_1156&products_id=1918&osCsid=cf7d36d9184f0ab34da22fefe31b8653)
Pay attention to how the throttle body is reversed.

[1.8t]

^ Full Race is the shiznitelbingbang, just make sure the IC is a bar and plate design as apposed to a tube and fin. Almost all of the FR kits for the honda boys back when I was building my hatch were tube and fin designs.

[TooSlowToCare]

Holy expensive fmic kit. Just get nawz.

Most if not all of the front mount ICs that Fullrace sell in their kits are tube and fin IIRC.

Full-Race has switched to Garrett intercooler cores which are bar & plate.

EDIT:

If this is true, I dont see why they would sell the Garrett cores and not use them in their kits.

co2/no2 spayer would be a good idea if some of the c02/n02 was not sucked into the intake and affect the tune of the vehicle. a dood tested his n02 sprayer on the dyno, gained some fairly decent hp but it leaned out his afr's by something like a half a point. c02 would displace o2 so that would set-up would probably loose hp.

A tmic application is perfectly acceptable for any goals under 400whp on pump gas(about as far as i would be willing to push a stock block anyways). Throw in some rubbing alcohal in the water sprayer and soak the bitch down, works like a charm.

A fmic will be more expensive, provide only marginal gains on a medium sized turbo, be more difficult to install, put more weight over the front wheels, and add a bit of extra lag on an already somewhat laggy car for the displacement size.

Unless you are going for every bit of hp, i dont think the decision to go fmic is as black and white as some are making it out to be.

Is the fmic a superior set-up for hp? Yes. Are there other implications to consider such as cost, potential peformance downfalls(lag, weight), increased risk of damage from road debris or fenderbenders? Yes.

The downfall of a tmic, heatsoak, can be seriously reduced with the simple addition of some rubbing alky in the water sprayer, and liberal use of the sprayer before starting a auto-x/drag race run. Hell if you plan ahead, throw some ice cubes in the resivoir. The tmic is not a flow restriction, atleast on a medium sized turbo, add meth and both the fmic and tmic have the same peak potential hp becuase the turbo will max out before either i/c will become a large restriction.

btw-weighed my txs fmic core, weighed in at 30lbs...just the core.

Its been a while, but the biggest i think people were fitting under the stock fenders and a decent looking ride height were 255's with out rolling. Im sure you could go bigger with a taller ride height and of course, if you wanted to roll the fenders, pretty much as big as you want.

A valid point. I tend to think high power. :D I guess one advantage to buying the FMIC is it would be the last intercooler you buy, instead of buying an upgraded TMIC till 400hp then having to buy another when seeking higher power.

IMO I'd hate having to think about this every time I was about to race the car. This also includes the random assholes you meet going down the road.

Damn son...that is a lot of weight. I've never thought about that.

I would like to see an STi drivetrain in an SVX. :D

I would like to never see another SVX.

THIS. Nice drive train in a truely weird car would be fun.

Or maybe a STi drivetrain in a B.R.A.T.

[wangan_x]

STi DT in a Brat would be death

[ActiveAero]

Seriously just get a meth/water injection kit. $500 for a nice one and you're done.

[wangan_x]

375 ish would def be nice, how much boost can you run on meth? 24-25 lbs? that should def put me around 4ish if the volumetric efficiency of the turbo isn't overcooked

[Swine]

Yeah a dom 3 will prob max out around 24-25lbs. Dont skimp on a good meth injection kit, failsafes and a relaible pump are your friend. If the pump takes a shit during wot, you might be looking to replace the motor in your nice new sti.:(


What are the exact mods currently on this car.

[TylerW]

Either I missed something and he recently bought a 3s or you meant Evo/sentra/eclipse.

I think the comment was directed at me but I don't care, the STi isn't exactly on a diet (although it is significantly less than the 3S) at about 3300lbs IIRC.

I would never push a motor to the limit based just off it's meth/water injection but that's just me and my philosophy regarding it. I used it in my hatch as an "insurance" method so to speak that allowed to just beat on the car constantly for 3+ years without ever having to worry about it. My car was never tuned so that it HAD to have the meth. It was tuned without the meth as a factor so it was completely fine without it. The meth was then just added on top, in a mild dose, to keep the engine super safe.

In a way it's like running race gas in a car tuned for pump. It doesn't give you any real big hp benefit, if any at all but what it does do is make the car run flawless all the time. No knock, no heat soak worries, no nothing.

Yeah, I figured it was, no offense taken at all, didn't even consider it.

I figured it was directed at me because Sean (XSivPsi) doesn't own anything that could be considered a 3million GT (at least that I know of). Honeslty, I don't know much of the specs on the SVX, I just think they look more like a sports car compared to anything else Subaru has built and I wouldn't mind seeing a decent drive train in one; just my personal opinion. Do they look a little weird? Yes, but I'd rock one.

That's exactly what I did on my last SC300 and I would do it again for sure. I am more about safety than maximum power. I can't afford to be rebuilding motors.

hurry up with that new turbo if you want that to be efficient. from all the reading i have done the vf39 is pretty much a blow dryer at 19. i agree with the vote for an FMIC too.

[Swine]

wow that is a sick stock turbo set-up.
