Guest adam07specB Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 So i broke down and ordered the VF52 and some 750cc injectors (incase i go bigger later down the road) and I will be getting it retuned on yay ol dyno. My Goal (fingers crossed) is to get to 300+ whp. Also if need be i will be upgrading my clutch... Pics to come!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tingtang Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 haha... i did the same thing except i think i got 740cc injectors.... let me know how u like it.... my turbo wont get here for at least another 3 weeks or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black318i Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I've been looking into the VF52 and it sounds like 300whp be done with stage3.5 minus headers and fuel pump. It's been done with a ?? LGT and an 08 WRX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tingtang Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I'm doing a perrin FMIC cuz I figured if imma be spending 900 on a TMIC I might as well spend a little more for a FMIC that way it opens my options later on... I think u can run the vf52 on ur stock TMIC fuel injectors and fuel pump... u just won't get 300whp... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGT and an 08 WRX. I believe I saw a 08 wrx put 290whp and 320wtq?? That's without injectors/fuel pump... but I think he was kinda maxing his injectors at a very dangerous lvl... something like 95%?? Not too sure but there is a thread on his car.... I have yet to see a actual chart on a legacy... but as soon as I get mine in and tuned I will post my chart and 1/4 mile times... the dyno on the 08 wrx I believe had a flatter curve... unlike our vf40's hit max power fast and then die out... but I believe I was told on average u can make 300whp with the vf52... and obtainable with a after market TMIC... honestly I think the FMIC might be a little overkill but I'm thinkin future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black318i Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I heard the same thing about the injectors and TMIC. I also read that a fuel pump is not necessary.

Even less if you pick up a used one. Looking forward to seeing the #'s with the VF52. Congrats and good luck putting it all together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black318i Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 $500 new, where? Lowest I've seen was a little over $500, but that deal is long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think u can run the vf52 on ur stock TMIC fuel injectors and fuel pump... u just won't get 300whp... impo id go with the avo fmic. i am when i get my vf52. reasons perrin fmic is designed for sti style turbo and avo is designed for the legacy. gettin 750cc injectors and new fuel pump.

Lowest I've seen was a little over $500, but that deal is long gone. i guess that deal was over a while ago, my bad. used is still a good option though, i picked mine up used for about $450. The $900 number ting threw out just caught my eye so I reponded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest adam07specB Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 do i need headers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonts Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 do i need headers? NO. Not necessary. Number of members have had issues with cracking, etc. I've opted for Grimmspeed PNP exhaust manifolds. Good luck with the build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tingtang Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Can u give me the link for the tmic that's a little over 500 new??? I've yet to see one... the reason I'm going with the perrin fmic is cuz I found a guy sellin for 900.... if I can find a pretty decent size tmic for 300-500 ill probably just go that route....

I think our FP is 155lph?? And the 09 wrx is 175lph?? Or was it the new sti that was 175lph I don't remember... honestly its safer to just get a FP.... $100 dollars for a walbro 255lph.... to me that's worth it...

Perrin was selling them for a little over $500 at the end of last year. I guess to get rid of overstock, but they are back up to $800 now. If you want one keep an eye out. They are not hard to find.

fonts Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 FredBeansParts had them going for $515 a month or 2 ago. Looking at the thread now it looks like they are sold out at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLKGT5 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I'm also converting to a VF52 turbo. I just now have to wait until AJW Performance gets them in. I'm sticking with 650cc injectors since I dont want to modify my FP housing or have increased FP noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been considering a custom tune for quite some time but don't know of any reputable shops to get a reliable tune from around here.
