Solgt's "Sleeper Status" Build Thread


Recommended Posts

Invidia turbo back

Suspension and exhaust install by Andrewtech Automotive

 

K&N drop in panel filter

Intake resonator removed

Cobb Ap

 

Tuned to 247whp@6200\330lb-ft tq@4300 @19-20psi by Jermaine@turboxs

 

While there a Perrin 3port bcs and turboxs recirc bov was added

Everything else stock.

 

Worked great till stock tmic end tanks let go then a call was placed to Brian at racerx and his tmic was sent out. His charge pipe wasn't available at the time. Still in development phases.

 

Then head gaskets started leaking and build began.

 

FMIC FTW will be next.

I'll organise op to better show my progression soon. Hope this helps.

After about 3yrs of and modding figured I'll share.

I drove it stock for a couple months. Flashed the Cobb ots 93 before going further for S&G to see if it really made a difference and suprise! It was. A very welcome one at that.

 

Part 1.

 

Suspension:

 

Tein 2" springs

WhitelineL 22mm front 2way lower sway

WhitelineL 22mm rear 3way lower sway

WhitelineL f/r endlinks

 

Engine:

 

Invidia turbo back

Cobb Ap

K&N panel filter

Resonator delete

Perrin 3 port bcs

Grimm ebcs

TurboXS recirc bov

 

Made 247whp@6200\330lb-ft tq@4300 @19-20psi by Jermaine@turboxs

 

Intermission

 

Worked great till stock tmic end tanks let go. Thus call was placed to Brian at racerx and his tmic was sent out. His charge pipe wasn't available at the time. Still in development phases.

 

Part 2.

Sam and Riyaad, Jacob and of course the guru himself Andrew, deserve HUGE Thanks for making this possible!

With the engine out, heads off, inspection was scrutinized for warping of heads or any other possible major worries. None found so progress insued!

 

Racing water pump

Timing belt

1000cc ID inj

300lph fuel pump

08 sti oil pump

ARP headstuds

Weisco Pistons

Engine gasket kit

BNR custom 20G

RacerX charge pipe

Crawford air\oil seperator

Perrin tmic coupler

Perrin shifter bushing

Clutch delete both locations

TurboXS rfl bov

Custom Cobb SF intake

 

Tuned again by Jermaine

350hp\350tq@ 23psi.

 

 

 

So other than the exhaust led marker lights and license plate brackets from AndrewTech nothing cosmetic has yet been done the car.

 

The BIGGEST THANKS go to the wife for not killing me for building it while she was pregnant!

 

Thanks guys for reading. I'll post pics and dyno video later

Just curious on the resonator delete?

It's part of the factory intake system. #14.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160905/ad89af9481d24031126f20b11993544d.jpg

Easy removal.

Was it something you wanted to try out?

What is the purpose of the resonator?

Did it increases your airintake?

Back a few years ago, HKS made an intake funnel that would take the resonator's place that did offer a very modest bump in horsepower and slightly cooler intake air temperature. However, as I recently found out, that part has all but vanished from the face of the earth, and any store still listing it as purchasable will not be able to deliver.

This is my factory airairbox looking at it from the bottom. Front facing away. The resonator blocks this opening and reduces that diameter at the bottom of said resonator to a 1-2mm opening. To me that's free horsepower. Definitely not enough to tune for but does allow more airflow to filter. Literally the 1st mod I did.

Not to jack your thread but I did the same thing early on and just to be extra careful I cut up an extra filter I had to fit to part of the jug and popped it back in

You don't need to, this hole is pre-filter.

Very interesting. I thought it would be a torque box or something in that regards.

Water will find its way into just about anything. Even though the chances are small Im not risking getting my dry filter wet. When I removed my jug it was plenty dirty so Im not going to risk getting additional junk in there for the sake of a little sound and air.

I'm pretty sure water can come in through the snorkus while driving normally.

You mentioned the clutch damper delete in both places, Where is the second damper I know about the one by the clutch pedal but where is the other one?

 

There is a restrictor device of some sort inside the slave cylinder.
