mcg_ Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 FWIW, Grimmspeed appears to be working on an EBCS for the 2015 WRX, which appears to have a similar turbo inlet and BCS setup.... If it is the same, then we will have a true plug-and-play EBCS..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojorios Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I wonder how this would work: http://www.jscspeed.com/catalog/Perrin_EBCS_Pro_Boost_Control_Solenoid_for_2015_Subaru_STI-33635-1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcg_ Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 See this http://blog.grimmspeed.com/?p=208 Looking at the Subaru service manual for the 2010 LGT, my guess is that the Grimmspeed will be plug-and-play.... but I didn't look up part numbers.... to see if they are the same....

jojorios Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Well I tried to search for it and found this. The part number that I was looking at for my LGT was 16102AA520. When I clicked on the link for the one on the WRX labeled 16102A it shows this http://parts.subaru.com/p/Subaru_2015_WRXSTI-WITH-SPOILER/VALVE-ASSEMBLY-DUTY-SOLENOID/49227799/16102AA480.html Not sure what those last 4 characters being different means.

It looks like you are looking at the 2015 STI (old turbo location, etc.)-- not the 2015 WRX.... It looks to me like the 2015 WRX uses the same part http://parts.subaru.com/p/Subaru_2015_WRX-20L-6MT-WRX/VALVE-ASSEMBLY-DUTY-SOLENOID/49227802/16102AA520.html Thank you jojorios for pointing me to a good site to look this up.

jojorios Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 So after some more research I'm a little more confused about which BCS to choose. EBCS seem to be more prone to the "Fluttering" noise because of the way work "(duty cycle). MCS won't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutchard Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 When I had an EWG on a previous car, I preferred the MBC because it was much more predictable when the wastegate would open. Didn't care for the "fluttering" with an ECBS. I miss that car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTEASER Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Nice! So are you utilizing the header's EWGs with a welded up IWG on the stock turbo, or are you still stock IWG?

red50fordf1 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 This seems to really show some nice gains from the ETS header Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1cha3l Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Loving the sound! Mine? Not so much ;P . To clarify. This is a custom header from 6 star motorsports with tial 44 mm ewg. I ended up plumbing it back in since I didnt like the sound. No video yet. I'll post one when I can. Here is a vid taken with go pro (Grrr too much wind noise!) after I plumbed the EWG back in. Big difference and I'm very happy !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojorios Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I wasn't sure in which thread to pose this question but, now with the nameless DP, if it does eliminate boost creep, what would be the benefit with this header? As in would it still help spool quicker & Boost hp? Or would the benefits be minimal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fahr_side Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 The stock downpipe and half the aftermarket ones out there have a fatal flaw in that the wastegate flows at a flat plate. Once out from the flapper the gas has to make a sharp turn and then try to squeeze out the round hole right in line with the turbine. Of course the turbine makes the flow there very turbulent, so our poor wastegated gas kind of has to take a number and wait to get into that line. Any kind of bellmouth arrangement here will help enormously, and a divorced type should also be better than the godawful stock setup. These aftermarket headers however take a totally different approach and divert the wastegated gas before it even reaches the turbo exhaust housing. Long story short... an EWG will definitely fix any and all boost creep problems via a large increase in the wastegate area and flow out of it. The downpipe solution does not fix the wastegate itself being undersized for the application, especially where larger compressors are involved. Sure, providing better flow out of the stock internal gate will help, but it might not completely solve the problem. In either case you only need to worry about this if you are upgrading the turbo with bigger wheels. Stock VF-54, you won't run into this issue, or see any gains from this header alone. Obligatory '[URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/2008-gh8-238668.html?t=238668"]build thread[/URL]' Increased capacity to 2.7 liters, still turbo, but no longer need spark plugs.

Syndicate Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Yes, I talked to Michael Roark and he said it is definitely doable, but they are going to be swamped for the next 6-7 months because of race season. I was hoping to drop my car off this month and have it done, but i'll gladly wait until September for ETS build quality. I'll just get a E85, 1300cc injector, TGV delete, upgraded fuel pump tune to hold me over til then. ...nothing like bumping an older thread. Any chance there's been any word from ETS on this? I've had a turbo upgrade on the brain for some reason lately, I've been eyeing the Tomioka VF45 20G but something that would compliment the ETS header would be very nice.
