Max Capacity Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Is this what's meant with a "rotated" set-up? When you look at our turbo's and then see how some custom set ups have the turbo inlet rotated to the passenger side, you'll understand. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

LatentWagen Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Reversed intake manifold is the way to go for short piping to your FMIC or v-mount. It's neat because all you've got to do is turn it around, everything lines up. Problems arise with A/C and alternator mounting, but nothing a couple of brackets (or rolling the windows down) won't fix. This is not doing it wrong Must feel great to have it back on the road after the build! How are the cold starts? LW's spec. B / YT / IG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chato Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 ^right, and this setup is often what you'll see when you pop the hood on a subaru rally car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhitter Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 When you look at our turbo's and then see how some custom set ups have the turbo inlet rotated to the passenger side, you'll understand. I always thought (assumed) it was just the turbo, but when I saw the whole manifold on backwards started to doubt what rotated meant. Very cool car OP.

How are the cold starts? it is definitely nice to be able to actually drive it again. car has been parked and havent had time to put miles on it because I'm going through the process of buying a house so that, work and school is consuming all my time. soon enough though ill start putting some mileage on the motor to get her ready for the tune. car starts right up on 91. no hesitation. e85, in the cold will be a whole different story lol.

thisisthenewsic Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Car finally got finished and tuned Tuned on saturday by shaun church. http://i669.photobucket.com/albums/vv57/codynicot/Mobile%20Uploads/20150509_153322_zps2dd57b07.jpg Maps are 91 20psi E85 20,26,32psi At 32psi the .91ar exhaust housing started to be restrictive. Most likely would have hit or came close to 600 if i went 1.00 or 1.10 ar but torque would have moved to the right Car drives amazing and drives like stock up until you hit boost. Very very happy with the outcome. On the way home from the tune. I had to tow the car home, driving and smell/see smoke. Pulled over and driver inner cv boot checked out lol. Towed home cuz id rather not start a fire lol. Aaa must love me because i get my use out of my 4 100 mile tows per year free lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always like to see LGT on the track. :-) Extreme speed,redline time attack, ect. Depends on the event, location and my work schedule. Would like to atleast attend 4 track days a year.. if not more depending on cash flow n work schedule nice! upwards of 250WTQ and 200WHP by 3500 RPM! and then it just goooooes Yup. Its nice cuz its enough power to still get up around town. But when you wanna lay it down its there. I dont really drive like a dick on the street. Too much too lose. Normally occasional pulls getting on the freeway is really as much as i do. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KGB Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Awesome build, thank you for sharing! If you don't mind me asking: Why did you not WPC the cylinder bores? (wouldn't it be helpful?) What Piston-Wall clearance have you decided on running? And, where did you get that nice front grill? (I am looking for one for my current built - trying to get more air though.) Thanks!

m sprank Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 If I am not mistaken his motor was built by Outfront. Some of the decisions were most likely left up to them, or their advice was taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
