LittleBlueGT Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 thicker steel is less likely to warp I agree. Given enough time it will still get as hot. Have you tried the new DEI wrap? I did, it is much better then old stuff, and you don't need to coat it. Full tune of 68HTA, KSTech 73 MAF, Racer X FMIC and ID1000s................by the DataLog Mafia!!!

mwiener2 Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 I'm gonna coat it. Even thinking of having the insides of the pipes coated with a special coating. My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwiener2 Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 200 mile update: Everything is holding together. No oil consumption or leaking. The corrugated tube I used at the wastegate outlet leaks like a sieve when it's cold, but it seals up when it's hot. A little annoying, but tolerable. The V-band that connects my "downpipe" to my catback sucks. It was a cheaper one I was trying and it uses smooth mating surfaces. It leaks horribly. It will be replaced with a quality v-band with a seating ring when I take everything apart for coating. For all those that are concerned, rocks have not been flinging themselves in front of my car as I drive. Also, people are not throwing rocks under my car as I drive by.

mwiener2 Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 Looked through a couple hundred dyno sheets today. I'm pulling out cars that that have GT30r sized turbos. I haven't found a rotated 30r one yet, but I have a few dom3's and other 30r based turbos. I've got about a thousand more sheets to go through.

doctorbrody Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 How much regular maintenance are you having to do with your car? I assume it's getting up there in miles. CV boots, wheel bearings, weird rattles, random stuff? I seem to spend a lot more of my time under my 05 fixing random crap as the miles pile on - up around 120k now. Congrats on the sick build. Props for innovation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 no problems that other subarus, or cars for that matter, with similar miles. I'm only at 91k and I replaced the engine around 70k, so no issues there.

mwiener2 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Clutch slipped a lil in 5th the other day. It was -1 degrees out so I think it was overboosting a tad.

BAC5.2 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 No way, the Carbonetic feels like stock. That, and the Exedy Hyper Twin Carbon are my two favorite clutches. OEM pedal effort, unholy amounts of power capability, and awesome wear life. If you can stomach the price, and a bit of noise when the clutch is depressed, it's an awesome setup.

Legend Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 B.S. You were worried about rogue boulders. That definitely happens. Rounding Rabbit Ears Pass during spirited driving last year I came around a corner and found a ~6" rock in the middle of the lane. Mike would have simply cruised over it but not me... took out part of my undertray and left 2 good dents in my DP and mid-pipe. I was really happy that's all it was, actually. It would take a rock of at least 2' to take out my turbo, though. My '05 LGT My '07 Supercharged Shelby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the non-carbon Exedy twin, and the pedal effort is indeed like stock. I didn't realize there were carbon and non-carbon flavors when I bought it, so I'm a little bit concerned with lifespan now. But, it survived a night of drag racing with no complaints, and it still grabs hard. Hopefully it will survive a bunch more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 It's be coming through the windshield long before it touched your turbo. I'm just gonna turn the boost down for now and deal with it once it gets a bit warmer out. When I drop the tranny, I'll send all my exhaust pipes and turbo in for coating. I'll try and tackle my driveshaft stiffening project, and she needs new shocks. don't hold your breathe for any updates My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
