Nice ride and great pics. I'm sure you'll keep us up-to-date on the mods you make with your new 200dx.

[alcoolaid]

I'll be making some front splitters for friends (aluminum frame) and mild steel brackets on the car.

Also have plans to relocate my oil cooler from in front of the radiator to in front of the passenger side front wheel. Just have to figure out where I'm going to draw air for the brake ducts.

[Mr120]

I'm a complete noob about these things and I'm not sure what your existing plumbing looks like but can you draw air from cutouts in the left and right sides of the lower part of the bumper? Great job with the car and look forward to some more pics of your projects.

Nice ride, looks great. I am actually in the process of redoing my setup on my Integra. I haven't decided if I want to go with a normal top mount manifold or forward facing manifold for the 76mm turbo I am putting on.

[Jason]

Nice car..

What made you decide on a fmic over a awic?

I like to keep the setups simple with what works. 76mm is quite a large turbo! Depending on whether you go with a Garrett or Borg warner will really be the deciding factor I guess.

the hawkeyes look fantastic, great job on yours! ahhh i miss my 05 sti

I have 3" ducting going into fog light covers on each side of the bumper. If I relocate the oil cooler I'll have to find a way to duct the brake duct or the oil cooler. Maybe a NACA duct in the side of the bumper... we'll see

[greygizmo]

Very cool. I have a big turbo MkIV GTI myself, but all the internals are stock. I'm envious of the power you are putting down... and the AWD haha

I was about to ask about forged internals. That's what usually makes Subie's go boom.

I had a 07. I flipped it.

Been thinking of buying a higher mileage 05ish. And doing some motor stuff to it.

What you think?

Yeah, 05-07 pretty much the same but on the 07 you get the longer gears in the transmission which is a good plus imo.

[Spike]

Subies can do with the longer rods and higher pin heights. They need all the piston stability they can get. piston slap has been a big problem in the wrx engines across several generations.

Ill have to keep that in mind for when my cousin finally builds the sti that he wants. Any other major or big concerns that you know of?

[agent4573]

The factory put out 3 different blocks; open, semi-closed, and fully-closed. The open can handle ~350 reliably. The semi-closed can handle ~500 and the fully closed can handle about ~600 without blowing up. If you're planning on more than that I would go with the fully sleeved aftermarket block like alcoolaid did.

[Jason]

how long is the lag running that much boost? I am curious to see your track times running slicks.

It's not bad at all. Starts building boost by 2,000rpm and I can get 25 psi by 3,800 rpm in 4th gear. So well over 4,000rpm powerband. The twinscroll header and twinscroll turbo definitely helps with this.

I only went out to the track twice. Each time I only did one run. Either it was too cold or I got kicked out for going too fast. First run I did 11.34 @ 127. Next time I did 11.24 @ 126. Both times on street tires and low boost. On slicks and high boost I'll be in the mid 10's. Not bad for a car that is setup for road racing.

Have some videos of my runs on my youtube channel. www.youtube.com/alcoolaid

In one video the guy tells me to slow down.
