Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer

20G FTMFW!

Do you know how high they were revving that Scoobie in the video?

Yeah you're totally right I think my evo, especially with all the porting work done to the head etc, would result in about what your's did. Once I rebuild the Evo's tranny I plan to keep it the way it is, having a reliable semi fast DD is always good.

The Subaru has bigger plans. I plan on maxing the motor out, which is that range, and seeing where to go from there. I think 350AWHP at DB in a < 2800lb car would be hella quick, plus tracking that thing is the ultimate goal. I have a bone to pick with someone that will remain nameless. I plan on doing more suspension tweaks and weight reduction on top of the new power.

And yes your aquamist setup was fucking amazing, I've watched the video a couple of times and will definitely be inspiration of how my setup will eventually be setup. I've wanted that for a long time.

Shitty. Oiling issue?

Anyway, I hear Scheides has gotten really good at removing and installing large things in Evo engine bays... Jim might be of help, too.

We wouldn't want to exceed his power goals. :drive1:

But it's a 20g!





I'm going to just keep it running haha. Work out bugs, HOPEFULLY MINOR ONES Then next summer it's getting methanol injection + 20G + BCS and retuned (I would guess around 320-360AWHP at DB). This winter will mostly be focused on getting the Evo's transmission fixed.

He just posted that he wants a 20G next summer, so a little early won't hurt.

Well I decided to buy a cheap ass WRX turbo for now and run wastegate pressure (7PSi sonnn) until spring. It took me like 1 1/2 hours to install tonight and runs fine. Maybe the car will last more than a week this time =D

The failure of the turbo could be one of three things.
1.) There's a filter in the banjo bolts for the oil feed lines on Subarus, these get clogged and there's a TSB on them, the dealers just remove them. GO SUBARU! I removed this tonight.
2.) The VF39 was beaten on before I got it, however it didn't have any shaft play when I installed it.
3.) Jesus hates me.

Now it's time to get the Evo running.

After reviewing my 3 possibilites, I've determined it could very well be all three.
