So i decided to get on here...Gimmick...the car looks sick! especially those pics i hadn't seen before.

I should charge people for renting out my girlfriend to take pics lol...they do look good.

The meet was decent, tons of scooby's

One annoying thing, is that some guys here have found the need to send my girlfriend myspace messages asking to show her around and hang out...I'll leave it at that...eh what can be expected.

[Gimmick]

Which pics hadn't you seen before?

I thought I had all of them on both sites and i sent yu a zip with all the ones with your woman.

[Horhay]

Yeah, Burn Up. They make WRC replica stuff for Imprezas.

Hmmm, so its a mission you are sending me on eh...

[Gimmick]

Small update...

Since Im sooo up in the air as far as turbo goes Im on a mission to try and get the car as close to 11.xx as possible on the stock VF39. Alot has already been done and more is being done as I type this.

I have a set of TGV housings being gutted, ported and polished. I will be converting to top feed injector as well and most likly run some 520cc pinks and some custom top feed rails wth stainless lines and AN fittings, a HKs Supra TT fuel pressure regulator and Moroso fuel filter along with a under hood Fuel pressure gauge.

Also I am working on these babies in my sare time...



Ill be porting and polishing the manifolds inside and out and cleaning up the crosspipe (I was doing this before companies like crucial existed so i know what to do dont worry)

They will then all get coated in high temp ceramic paint,wrapped, coated in again and then wrapped again and then coated again...Overkill? I think not. The ceramic paint I have is made by thermotech and works wonders. Just as good as jet hot or swain tech as Crucial uses, but only 15 bucks for a can. I would put it up against anyones coating. Combined with the dual wrap I will get better heat retention than any coating on the market and because the wrap allows the metal to expand easier I wont have to worry about cracking.

Lastly I obtained a cast intake maf adapter I will be using...



After I get it bored and polished inside.

More updates to follow later this week. I need to read into the "stock turbo" rulebook about what I can and cant do. I really want to upgrade the nipple on the outlet to a larger diameter and possibly get a Power Enterprise wastegate actuatoras well.

[Swine]

Nice man, i will be going through my own port and polish project soon. I hope you dont mind if i pm you some questions later on.

[munky69]

man, i love the different direction you take things... i thouhgt the pink injectors where 565's though? also could you fill a dork like me in on the advantage of goign top feed?

[Gimmick]

Swine : No problem man, ask away...I must say though It us a PITA to do. I luckily have a ton of tools and grinding and PNP parts and a big compressor in my garage that helps.

munky69 : The true rating from Denso for thos injectors is 520cc. I buy them direct from Denso so i get them hella cheaper. I cant say there is a definite advantage to top feed, its more a hunch on my part. I like the setup better with top feed and quite honestly, I think all the aftermarket fuel rails for side feeds look like crap.

[munky69]

can't argue the ugliness of the side feed fuel rails... so what are our stock injectors rated at? i'm not trying to be a dick, i'm just curious. i never really looked into it

[Gimmick]

I've heard mixed results...

Some say 440 otrhers say 550..

I just figured since I wanted to gut the TGV's anyway and I know I want top feed 800's for when I upgrade the turbo I may as well change it now..

[munky69]

yeah i wish there where 800cc side feeds. alot more options for topfeed for sure. ****, you got me thinking about it

[Gimmick]

Sooo...

A few small goodies finally finished today...

Got my PNP, Lightened and wrapped manifold on the car along with the Nino's uppipe I have had sitting here for 2 years...

Also, I got my new cast, polished maf housing ready and have a new filter, that will be on tomm...

I noticed a instant increase in low end power with the manifold. Nice bit of power out of boost which is pleasant.

In datalogging I moved the boost down 200 rpms (comes on soon er and peaks sooner. Although with no changes in tune I seemed to lose .7psi across the band. Also, I was maxxing out my injectors before, from 6k on up. Now Im not even close. Not sure if the manifold and Uppipe did this alone of if the weather change mad e a difference. Ill have pics tomm when I get the intake on.

Heres the logs...
