im looking at doing the perrin gt30 kit on my 02 wrx but i just wanted to know if my motor could handle it for alittle while. as of right now i have stock internals and valve train(come april i will start to build and sti block i have and my wrx heads), perrin fmic, sti pinks, walbro fuel pump,vf34, xx tuning headers and uppipe(although a new uppipe comes with the kit), tbe, perrin cai, ect. for the moment im running the cobb ap and street tuner(getting a aem ems in april). all in all im looking to run around 20psi on the gt30 with a good tune. will i be fine for a couple of months? can i use the injectors i have for now or should i buy new ones?im sure there are some things i forgot to say or ask but i just woke up so please bare with me. thanks in advanced

 

You should wait till your STi block is ready.

 

If you limit your boost, then yes. 20 psi on a VF34 is using a healthy limit on the Pinks. A gt30 at the same psi would NOT be a good idea. Keep the boost low and you should be fine. But that defeats the purpose of even installing it. Plus, there is a HUGE amount of lag on a normal ej20. A V7 motor is the ONLY 2 liter engine that can make use of that turbo effectively. Bottom line, build up your engine first. Hoped that helped.
