But remember you have a 2.5 not a 2.0 but either way an upgrade is an uPgrade.. Ask Ed what's the biggest mOat effiicient turbo for ur set up and whp goal..

 

Yeah you don't want to hit boost at like 6k lol JDM twinscroll FTW

 

Next meet is going to be on Sunday Nov. 13th

 

3 in a row, i'm a ***** in this thread!! Anyhoo I am super stoked because I finally ordered my H6 rear brake upgrade kit(been talking about it since march LOL)

 

The H6? wich kit is this? Pix/links??

 

It's a kit that lets you run the stock brakes off a 6 cylinder(h6) legacy on a wrx. They are an inch bigger in diameter than my stock rear brakes. I've got stoptech pads coming for it too

 

Nice... You'll be breaking like a boss now!

 

So I went to tune. He could do it with my lowness or my tires so he lifted it and swapped rims and tires ($$150) then got it on the dyno to figure out my turbo bearings are dead so we didn't tune it. Hooray. So 70$ in gas plus 150$ in nothing. 20$ for food. And nothing to show for it. FML. Well I guess tax time is bringing me injectors and a turbo.

 

drake if your looking to stay somewhat around stock with a turbo setup one thing you might want to look at would be a jdm stock sti setup.. i think it's the vf-37..? correct me if im wrong but its a twin scroll setup and from some quick reading your hitting full boost by around 2400-2600 rpm's.. there is a guy on iwsti that is selling his whole setup (turbo,up,down, n headers) for $1800.. i know its pricey but the whole "turbo" game isn't cheap as im finding out myself.. lol.. oh and that setup can pass smog cause its the same dp as a stock sti..

 

I don't really know what I wanna do cause I'm scared my motor is gonna go if I push it. I have 170k miles. But I was thinkin go VF-39 or 43 with pinks until the motor goes and then upgrade, cause the plan is a stock location G35R. But that's later down the road

 

Stock STi turbo ftw... Relianilty is key here with 170k... Simple stage 2 tune and ur good...

 

here's the link to what i was talking about..

FS (USA,CA): VF37 twinscroll kit & 02-07 WRX/STI 5Zigen cbe - Subaru Impreza WRX STI Forums: IWSTI.com

the big variable that you have is your motor.. i mean 170k is quite a bit so i dont know what your plans are with that but i would be more inclined to look for a motor or something that you could rebuild cheap.. jdblock has one on here that was in working condition with only 35k on it and i know the car he owns cause it was a old friend of mine car.. its obo so make him an offer.. he's a good cat, i've bought stuff from em before..

i agree that a vf-39 and pinks is a smart and reliable way to go but who knows how much time you have left on ur block.. with the sti sb you could do a hybrid setup or just the stock sti heads and run a atp 35r no problem and with minor mods be pushing 400-500 at the wheels.. i know the uncertianty that your going through cause i've been/go through the same crap.. lol.. thought i would just share my .02

 

So torn! Since I just got the uppipe and headers I wanna just drop in a turbo and call it good.

 

another reason why i love my subbie.. lmao

you can always part with the headers and up on here im sure.. in the end the decision is yours.. either way im sure you'll be happy.. best of luck with that one.. lol

 

Gr soo many options
