brickhoss Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I'm not planning on running at the track anytime soon, but that's pretty much where I want to be (I haven't even bought the car yet, and I am working a mod path for the next year... ). I've seen a variety of people w/ vastly different mods reach 12's so here was what I was thinking: (05 GT MT Sedan) Car already has accessport, I'm going to be adding a full turboback exhaust, possibly an unequal length header (preferences on these would be great). It appears that a few people have broken 12's with these mods alone on 05's with manual trannys. Soo just to be safe... In addition, I was looking at the VF40/18G combo that everyone seems to love which can be run w/ stock top mount intercooler and I would probably just do a fuel pump to be safe (any other recommendations?). Anything I'm missing here? I'm not looking to build a track car, but I have owned mid-12 second cars in the past, and that's pretty much what I'm expecting out of this car when its completed (however long that will take...) p.s. prior owner had clutch/flywheel replaced by subaru. Will making the kind of power levels that I'm looking for ruin a subaru clutch? Thanks for the help everyone! p.s. I have owned WRX's and am fairly familiar w/ subarus and turbo cars, I've just always had the 2.0L and after a couple of grand worth of mods, it was still in the mid-high 13's...

TravisS Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Stage EIGHT lol, c'mon. High 12s are stage 2.5 territory (at least with the 5MT). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gitster Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Youll be good with a TBE, headers will help as well. Are you prepared to go catless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brickhoss Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 Yeah my Wrx (both) have been catless, doesn't bother me one bit, and the local emissions station does nothing but compliment my exhaust when I go there. TMIC was one of those things I was on the fence about. I had a big ol' TXS top-mount on my wrx and then someone came in with a stocker and my exact mods otherwise and dyno'd 5 more horsepower then me. But if its necessary, I will do it. I have also saw a few threads in this forum where stockers are coming apart which is pretty scary. With the setup mentioned above, are stock injectors okay to run? I certainly don't want to short myself on fuel, but I'd like to avoid doing injectors unless they are necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickhoss Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 New Turbo /thread Everyone is so helpful today... What turbo would you recommend. And supporting mods? That's kinda what I was getting at. Recommendations. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brickhoss Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 I'm on a budget. Not trying to spend a crapload of money here. I know there are big turbos galore that will make it run crazy times. I'm basically looking for running 12's on a budget, probably piecing together used parts on the board as I go. I'm just trying to find out what I should be looking for first.

TravisS Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Megan downpipe Megan headers Megan catback Used TMIC Used AccesPort Tune This would come out to what... like $2500, maybe $3000? And that should get you there I'd think. [edit] It's worth pointing out a new turbo would in fact be cheaper... by itself. But with supporting mods? You can get in the 12s on the VF40 just fine.

brickhoss Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 Thanks for the help everyone. I'm going to get a 200hp shot of nitrous, a turbonator, and a grounding kit. That should get me to around 800HP right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gianspi Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I have been working on a plan for high power for low price. I will tell you my initial plan, but don't tell anyone else or I will have to kill you Gutted stock pipes ($25 in parts) New Gaskets ($70) Meth Kit ($500) Tactrix Cable ($89) ProTune (OpenECU) ($500) __________________________ $ 1184 enough zip ties and duct tape will fix anything.

AKLGT Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 well, honestly, if you've got a 5MT, you can do an STI swap for about $1100 if you do most of the installing yourself. used STI parts and pieces. a good tune for $150 and a TBE (if you go MR, it's pretty cheap). I'd say about $2000 - $2500 and you should be able to hit mid to high 12's. Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle yeah!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
