Sarg Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 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. How long have you been running this clutch and at what hp level?

NSFW Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I've been using it since mid-October, with ATP 3076. I'm hoping for close to 400whp on a Dynojet, but I don't know yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac88 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Very interesting setup, Looking forward to an exhaust clip to see how it sounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 NSFW - is that the turbo with the external gate mounted on the snail? My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSFW Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 No, I got the IWG version. If I go EWG, I'd rather put the WG on a 2" UP, instead of downstream of the 1.75" exhaust housing inlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 yeah, those ewg on the snail never make the power they claim... they also never make much boost even with the WG hose disconnected.

mwiener2 Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Car is all apart. Finding lots of worn out stuff. Gonna re-do the turbo kit. Thinking of re-using my GT3076r cartridge with a new Garrett V-band Twinscroll turbine housing in a 0.61 A/R and a new 4" anti-surge compressor housing and much shorter intake plumbing. This would mean new twinscroll headers and I would be trying to keep the turbo in the same location. Goal would be to increase spool by a minimum of 300rpm with 525+ ftlbs and try for 465hp. Another option is same low mount twinscroll idea, but with a GTX30r or GTX35r.

doctorbrody Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 How many miles you got on the chassis/block now? What's worn out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 20-30k miles on the setup over 5 years. Headgaskets were the only major issue. They seeped a bit at full boost. Clutch was also slipping under full power. My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KGB Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Hey mwiener2, Looking at your build pictures (thanks again for sharing,) I was wondering what limits the vertical location on your turbo setup i.e. whats the limiting factor(s) preventing you from locating the turbo a bit higher up? It seems that there the closest object which may cause interference (if you where to move the turbo up higher) is the radiator, then the main motor pulley, right? Assuming one uses a slightly shorter (at the bottom) radiator, high much higher do you guess this turbo can go up? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flinkly Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 And you've been using the composite intake manifold for the previous and current build? Impressed with it's design and construction, but doesn't it have (slightly) unequal flow? Not an issue for small turbos, but i'd assume you've seen it at your levels.

Max Capacity Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I'm trying to picture the intake piping to the TB. I'm sure you've thought about getting a front feed intake manifold. Is that even possible ? Looks great so far. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Max Capacity Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Oh I can see all the above pictures now. That's a plastic intake, did you just rotate the stock one 180* or is that from some other Subaru ? Sorry if you posted that info earlier. This is a great thread, looking forward to seeing more.

Flinkly Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 NO! was so excited to see the new post, but pictures don't load. EDIT: whew, they load now. that was close. almost had a meltdown.... That's some significant relocation of components on the left side, unless the pre-07 cars came that way... * Build Thread * 26.53 MPG - 12 month Average * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
