Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer
FWIW, during the build, I felt his turbo up with the dedication of a child molester -and liked what I felt. 2010 has not been your car year...

Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer
Just an update, the car has been working fine! I have the little ass WRX turbo in place running at wastegate pressure and everything has been working great. The car boosts very quickly and breaks the wheels loose if there's anything under them other than dry pavement. All electronics have been working flawlessly and the car has been starting like a champ.
This Spring I think I'm going to spend a little money and get my rear suspension all sorted out and then throw another VF39 on it until the Evo is 100%.
The next phase will be 68 HTA and (methanol injection or bigger injectors and E85) with a goal AWHP of around 350 or so which will be the end of power phases.

Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer
68hta? Wouldn't that be closer to 400+?
I like this car.

Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer
On a Dynojet yes, on a Dyno Dynamics more like 350. The HTA68 spools up like crazy on the 2.5l, but the top end falls flat due to the turbo just being maxed out. Good auto-x turbo.

Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer
Car ran quite fine over the Winter until I decided to turn the boost up. In early April I decided to turn the TD04 WRX turbo up from 7PSI to 1 bar. The car did not like this at all. The car reacted a lot like my GLH did when the plugs were gapped wrong and sometimes a lot more severe, backfiring and such.
So thinking the TD04 wasn't supplying the same amount of air at the same PSI and throwing off the tune I bought a VF39 and put that back in. Turned the boost back up to 20PSI and it was WORSE.
The last few weeks I changed the plugs, did a compression test (120psi across), boost leak test, made a ghetto grounding kit and then finally resorted to taking it to DB and throwing it on the dyno last Thursday.
With Shane's wideband we found out when it was hitting boost it would go VERY lean VERY quickly. Looking at the fuel pressure gauge in the engine bay it basically looked like something was pretty effed as it couldn't hold fuel pressure. We tried one of his FPRs, checking the voltage at the pump, changed the vacuum that was feeding the FPR, nothing worked. 
So... Friday I said fuck it and bought a Walbro 255 and installed that this morning and that fixed it. Good way to start the Summer

He's driving the Evo on the cruise. 
Shawn, if you are at all interested in having this dyno'd, it could be arranged to leave me with the keys, and I could pick it up morning of and drop it off back home afterward... just a thought.

Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer
