  1. Is it just me or is there literally no walk through in this whole thread. No instructions as to actual installation. Where does the Tactrix cable run to? Straight to the tablet? This isn't a step-by-step guide. The op never posted anything. All you seem like you did your own research and came in here for counseling. Help? Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk
  2. I built the short block myself. Set the timing wrong and broke a valve off in the cylinder cranking the motor. I pulled it and cried. Tried to quit life but my wife propped up my fragile ego. Put a 2010 STI block in and b25 heads. Turbo was leaking on the intake side. Pulled it and rebuilt it. I finally got her on the road and drove 3 hours to Pulzone Tuning. We did ONE amazingly fast and scary pull and the boost controller went out. Drove 3 hours home. Got a Grimmspeed bc and an AEM wideband gauge. Installed them and drove 3 hours back to the tuner. On the way my #4 injector took a dump on me. [emoji23] Drove home and did a topfeed conversion and parallel fuel lines. I've torn the dash out and she's on jackstands waiting on me to upload a tune. I took the turbo hood off and the trunk spoiler. I've paid for and possess the files to tune but I'm so insecure these days I'm going on vacation. I'll post pics and update when I get home with a tan. Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk
  3. If you're interested in helping the little guy; Evolved Injection in Duluth, Ga sells great custom injectors. I got a set off 1000's for less than 500 new. Great dude, as well. He mostly does big 2jz drift type stuff but a few Subie guys swear by him. They're basically unbranded Bosch. Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk
  4. I fixed it. Took about 3 hours. I had installed the wrong bootloader. I'm installing Dom's cooling mod and pulling the shims out of my oil pump, reinstalling the timing belt, fmic, etc. & then I'm off to the races! jk. I'll be back for help. Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk
  5. So I noticed the Turbo area was blank. Did you sell them or just haven't cataloged them? I need something for an 05-09 stock fitment capable of 400+hp. I have to replace an AVO420 and I want to go up a notch.
  6. Sup? anyone out there interested in GTA or Lap Battle? I'm so close to finishing my build but I'm looking at/for info in the enthusiast class. Street is where I'm sure I'll be after a year but I qualify for enthusiast so that's where I'll start.
  7. If I'm not mistaken (and I probably am) razorg-mob30x-factory-10b7ca08 is the factory image I got from the Reddit post.
  8. I'm stuck. I've got an ASUS Nexus 7 2012 32gb. I've started over several times. As soon as I try to open/run razorg-mob30x-factory-10b7ca08 This is what I get. 'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command.
  9. Thanks! I went and picked up my blocks. When the dude rolled out the dolly he set the deck on the pavement. Probably ruined. N. E. Way. I'm tired of arguing with people. Who cares? I'm ordering bearings! If my crank is ground .010 on the mains and .020 on the rods, do I get .05 mains and .025 rods or vice versa? I was cautioned against using a ground crank but beggars can't be choosers. Any thoughts or comments are appreciated.
  10. So, R.E.D. can't do a Subaru block. I'm back to the drawing board. I'm going to get a short block to put in. I'll learn to tune with that while I build a beefier short block. I think I found one in Nashville. I'll know Mon. It looks like I'm sending my stuff a long ways away unless someone has a suggestion on a shop close to Chatt. also . . . I've done a bit of research on the AVO 420. It's a GT2871R core with AVO's intake and exh. I can rebuild it for around $170 in parts. There's not much play but the wheel is a little dinged up. Any suggestions on leave it/fix it? Cobb AP V2 shows 424hp 449tq. if I remember correctly. Anyone around here who wants to swing by the shop is more than welcome.
  11. Ah-Ite. So if ya don't don't know. I sent the Cosworth crank to ATL Precision Machinery. I took the block to Race Engine design in Rossville Ga. Crank was turned for 197 and change. If it needed welding it would have been 75 more. Not ONE shop in Chattanooga TN has a rock small enough to grind a Subaru crank. 7/8 is the smallest they can. It's suprising. They aren't ANY tuners here. I'm going to sink into the Oblivion That Is ROMRaider. (I know how to find it because UTC_pyro sent a link I've learned so much I've almost drilled a hole in my head to release the pressure. Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to ask every shop on town if they have a bore gauge and they reply, " . . ." So. There is an amazing man in Nashville I will call "Brent the Subaru Guru". His name is Brent Roberts and he's got a shop just south of town. If you need a good, honest, local mechanic, he's your dude. Also, every Subaru "builder" in town seems under 25 and gets their short blocks in the mail. Maybe it's just me but if you send everything off and order everything assembled . . . that's not "building an engine". Pray for me. I've had too much coffee.
  12. idk, when I pulled the turbo the wastegate was locked tight. I think they were running it with no meth. The tank is dry and looks to have leaked at some point. (Silicone and corrosion) I think he drove it hard with about 20+ lbs of boost and a locked wastegate. I almost couldn't get it unstuck. Sent from my E6833 using Tapatalk
  13. This is morrisco's old car. He hasn't posted since 2016 and I'm the 3rd owner since he sold it. If you go look at his albums you can see what it's supposed to look like. He sold it to a young man from FLA who sold it to another young man and now it belongs to an old man Sent from my E6833 using Tapatalk
  14. All 4 pistons were broken. The block was good. It's getting bored and honed. 100mm Wiseco pistons, K-1 rods, ARP erathang. Sent from my E6833 using Tapatalk
  15. All that came on it. So far the only parts I've bought have been gaskets. I'm pulling the pistons today. I spent all day making the pin puller tool yesterday. I broke 2 tools and have 1 pin out. I'm going to try something different today. On a positive note I found a cosworth oil pump and h-beam rods in it!

  18. ARP studs, h-beam rods. I got the heads off and the valves look crusty. #4 piston has a busted ringland. I'm going to split the block this evening.
  19. So there I was . . . waiting on a phone call to go trade my F150 4x4 even up for an 05 Turbo Baja (spun bearing). While I'm waiting I sell my focus to cover the rebuild $. Dude died. So. I find a spec B. Done deal. Sold out from under me. Find another. Sold the night before. I finally broke down and asked God why. He gave me an 05 LGT Ltd Ready? ej257 block B25 heads (It was in the middle of a half-hearted ej20x swap) Denso 2450 850cc injectors AVO FMIC AVO 420 ball bearing turbo Perrin equal length headers Invidia catless up and catted down pipe Borla exhaust Cobb Accessport Cobb sway bars STi strut braces Cusco oil catch can Cusco coilovers Perrin crank pulley Racing Brake big brake kit w/2 piece rotors Snow Ind. Optional meth injection Cusco front and rear subframe bracing JDM front bumper What else? If anyone wants to point and laugh while I work I would appreciate another set of eyes. I'm three days in and having too much fun for one man! Pics to follow . . . as soon as I figure this whole typing thing out I'm shifting my focus walking and chewing gum at the same time!
  20. If you don't mind, what's the height difference between stock Spec B and STI?
