CUTN EDG: the 1600cc injs are installed - Page 5

chowder31 · 05-19-2005, 11:17 PM

thats so not fair :-) ...i had to pay for a new clutch and replacement of my 4/5th gear syncros...grand total...2400 bucks. Sucks being 20.

I commend you on picking up an RPS clutch too. I also put one in as a replacement. GREAT clutch, it grabs very well but also allows a much better slip than the stocker. My only beef is it seems the engagment point is a little diff than stock?? Oh well.

For the rest of the drivetrain, def grab up some upgrade axles. You may also want to look at some Kaaz or other differential upgrades. Ive heard some say our diffs are bullet proof...mine destroying itself after a snapped axle tells me otherwise.

I'm also very curious to watch the WI unfold. I'd really like to see this in action as to opposed to dousing our cylinders with fuel as a detonation stopper. BTW the rumble pack is a really good idea haha.

sounds like your building quite a beast. good luck!!!

speaking of beasts...this is phil grabow's 1/4 mi result a few nights ago with the same set-up minus the water injection, a stroker motor and a good launch. i might have to change the thread to "building my daily-driving 10 second beast.

bump for my own update at top of thread

Wow, you gotta take some pics of the build-up. Can't wait for more updates.

it's easy to get past the one pump problem on the 04 sti's run your own fuel rails and a fuel pressure regulator.

WRblue · 06-22-2005, 04:46 PM

that's going to a sweet setup i'll be looking forward to the updates

update:
we expect to start removal/disassembly of everything forward of the firewell next week. all of the parts are either here, on the way or promised on time. i guess we'll see. my gt65 turbo kit from element will be shipped the end of next week. still waiting to hear from phil regarding the fuel injectors we'll be using, i.e., 1000cc denso's.

i'll start posting pics starting with the teardown.

hitches:
i received the wrong intermediate pipe for the b&b from aj-usa. it's on the way back and the correct one will be turned around right away. the 4.5" single tip is massive - i can almost stick my entire head in it.
my cf a-pillar set i received from carbontrix came in 52mm instead of the 60mm i ordered. their website has it for 60mm but they won't do them now. i have a feeling they weren't holding up in that size/weight. i was surprized at how fragile it is. talking to them on the phone was like talking to the dead. i wasn't impressed.

anyone know of a nice cf a-pillar and 3 gauge center pod in 60mm?
