Tehnation Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) I thought I was going to have to sell you! This is another reason why the GS tmic is the best on the market, a 90 dollar hose gets you access to all sorts of turbos..... hands down best tmic! F**k fmic's ....

Tehnation Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 So this is what atpturbo recommended for 500awhp and power at 8krpm, with my setup.

Tehnation Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Blouch recommended 3.5 or the 4.0XT-R with the 10cm exhaust housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocinoman25 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Mmmm...I'm excited to see which snail you choose. All seem like pretty solid choices. I'll be happy once I make 400+ whp with my setup and built block. Getting close on getting the parts and pulling the trigger on moving forward lol. Do share videos bro!

Tehnation Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 looks like there is plenty of room...... god damn $2300, so call it $2500.... I'm gonna wait until I break in the motor at least before I drop any more g's.... I'll get a nice comparison as well comparing the 20g to the gtx35... I need to really get this motor in this weekend, once classes start then its nothing but work and then classes, and then cold and snow.... Once my block is confirmed to be in working order and everything seems legit, then its time for round 2, but I will have you!! OH YES!!! YOU WILL BE MINE! MAUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I wonder how the gs tmic does on big end turbos... seems like my tuner thinks fmic is the only way to go. but with fewer distance of piping wouldn't the system charge faster?

Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk its the pump gas... makes things so much harder, but at the same time, its a lot more convenient when you can drive anywhere and get gas.... rather than needing an e85 app to find gas in the middle of nowhere..... not fun.... I'm leaning towards the garret gtx35r, but they don't have much technical info... its like turbo, here, buy, lol... https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/gtx3576r-gen-ii/ made it to here and gave up.... if it will do the job, who cares i guess...

NSFW Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I wonder how the gs tmic does on big end turbos... seems like my tuner thinks fmic is the only way to go. but with fewer distance of piping wouldn't the system charge faster? As long as I keep the revs over 4000, I don't notice any lag with my GT3076. It feels like it builds boost as fast as I can push the pedal down. Given that you already have the GS, I think I'd lean toward using it. If you're not happy with the results, then go FMIC. I was pleasantly surprised how well the 3" inlet on my ATP cleared the TGV housings. I was expecting a clusterfuck like so many other stock-location 3" turbos. For that reason alone I'd prefer ATP over alternatives. I'd also lean toward an internally gated turbo, and if you want an EWG, have one mounted on the up-pipe. This might be pointless nitpicking, but my gut says it makes more sense to vent the unwanted exhaust before the exhaust tract starts to neck down in the turbo exhaust housing. I'd love to see how their stock-location GTX3576 performs, both in terms of how much power it makes and how wide the powerband is. I'm pretty sure I'm done with power mods, but if that thing makes 500whp with full boost by 4500, I might have to reconsider. My C5 made 475whp a couple weeks ago. It would be hilarious to put the LGT back on top again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tehnation Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 Which turbo inlet hose did you use? I hear about bad ones collapsing. I'm all for iwg, ewg seems like more parts, more complications, basically more stuff i don't want to think about lol... Part of me wants to just sell this 20g and buy the gtx....but the more I think about it, I really want to make sure this block is good to avoid it eating 2500 dollars when i first start it... At least I will have time to look into the blouchs, and do some more research. but its definitely going to be one of these two. leaning more towards the garrett unless the blouch gives me a reason. 4.0xt-r http://www.bptstore.com/Subaru-WRXSTi-Dominator-40XT-R-Full-Ball-Bearing-Turbocharger-_p_18.html gtx3576r https://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=tp&Product_Code=ATP-SUB-084&Category_Code=SUB-INT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they're still in production though. IWG is working fine for me. If I remember right, Blouch used to have issues with their turbo inlet being kinda behind the TGV housing, which made it hard to install... but that was years ago so even if I am remembering correctly it might not be the case anymore. It's something to check into though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That FW is the Spec LWFW with a replaceable friction surface. It also uses the torx T50+ bolts.

Tehnation Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 I pulled the entire stud when removing the nut. didn't know where i put them. but i found them. looks like my pins are stuck in the tranny, but shouldn't be a problem. I was about to order 4 new short bolts, I was looking for days.... then I realized they are what I used to mount my engine to the stand.... derp derp derp.. was about to go to the stealership....

Tehnation Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 Is there some kind of trick to attach my steering column to the steering rack? Do I need to drop the rack to give me the room or do I loosen a bolt somewhere ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I'm sure, but I seem to recall you have to slide the spline up into the U joint section...? Have you checked the service manual ? I know I looked at it years ago but had my mechanic replace it. He did tell me, that I should have done it when I had the engine out. It would have been easy then. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.
