My car was sounding really bad, missing, and the idle was terrible...I thought maybe I blew a coil pack...Called Gruppe-s and asked if they'd take a look. Mike told me to come down....This is what they found:

I guess it is a new spark plug design. Thumbs up for Dev, Domai and Mike, they took me in right away and my car is now running again.

 

Looks like a winner to me.

 

what about thumbs up to preston for getting you that spark plug and thumbs up to gary and max for running the place that got you the spark plug?

 

someone forget to gap the plug?

 

Hope the tip isnt still in the cylinder.

 

seriously. :x
that thing could kill your turbo, or worse your piston.

thumbs up for gruppe-s also. I after i got my car back with the RA gear set, it was making a weird thumping sound whenever i let off the gas. Took my car in yesterday and they got rid of the noise in less than 30 min. Apparently some of the bolts on the tranny was lose because the ppl at the subaru dealership forgot to tighten them. Which is why i should have taken my car there the first place. Anyways, way to go Dev and Domai

 

Yeah

 

Yeah, thanks to everyone at Gruppe-s, great bunch of guys.

 

wow. I have got to get to hardware store. Right now there are no bolts holding any coil packs in and I lose a cylinder or two every few days.

 

yea. thumbs UP to gruppe-s. got my car dyno tuned today. very happy with the way it runs.

 

Those numbers look a little low, dont they? I think I've seen some dyno graphs of cars with up/down/catback and tune, and they seem to be around 210-220whp. Wondering if it's a conservative tune or what, since the VF30 made 20whp more than the stock turbo.

Didn't Dan Avon dyno close to 300whp with his VF34 setup?

First thing is if you read his chart it looks as though he's making 243.4whp w/220.4 tq which is way over 210-220whp.

Second Davon did dyno over 300whp but it wasent with a vf34 setup, it was w/ a GT30-40 which has a hotside i find too large to run on a 2.0. The only way you could even come close to running 300whp with a vf34 setup in a EJ20T is to run c16 and have someone tune it to an inch of its life. The outside temps too would have to be ideal.

 

when i had the vf30 on 100 octane i was close at 294whp but on 91 i was making around 274whp. I had a few more mods though, fmic and headers def. helped with the power.
