compsurge Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Keep the center support. It's there for a reason. (that thing will flop around so much without it). It's going to also help guide the air into the vanes as opposed to up and over the face. An interesting project to run a CFD simulation on though... :nerd: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imprezsing04 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Nice work! This is one of the few threads ive read since you posted and kept up with it, reading every update and post. Cant wait for it to get back on the road! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblackwell1 Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 Nice job, think hard about cutting out the center support, I don't think fiberglass will work there with the flexible plastic. The only reason i dont think it would be a problem is because there is maybe 3 inches of lip left. I dont have any time to do it now any way, but i might try it down the road because im not too happy w the bumper any way, pretty scuffed up on the bottom and the license plate holes stink.

compsurge Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 There is a company that has an ebay store for bumper covers and body panels. I'll have to get their name, but my former roommate was able to get a painted bumper cover for his maxima for $250 and fit and color was pretty darn good for a replacement part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrHellrais3R Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 For anyone who follows this thread and other build motor threads, just know that its close to impossible to have a built motor and tune in a short period of time. I've been waiting on mine since the first week in July. I can't wait to see JB's build finally hitting the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brum Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Well for Joe's build in particular, the machine shop took a week longer than expected. Its been pushed back pretty far as he's in college 3 hours away from the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHellrais3R Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 yeah that sucks, I remember he was trying to get it done before going back to school. I ask my builder for an ETA and he just shrugs and I say alright cool lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_ster Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 yea it feels like a week long job to assemble a subie engine .. anything done with the cams so then you have to order or have on hand a bunch of the lifter cups to get the valve lash right. if your checking everything as you go it can be darn near 30 hour job. Now that's thinking out of the boxer! fyi all 05 + legacy's have built in code reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicRasta Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 To the OP, nice build! Just out of curiosity, why are you choosing to use the DW 1100cc side feed injectors as opposed to top feed injectors since you're doing the tgv deletes? My understanding is that the 1100cc injectors have a poor spray pattern unless on e-85. Also, since the tgv's are gone, why not upgrade to a 3" turbo inlet? Please don't take my questions as criticisms! just curious about your reasoning :-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brum Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 LOL I swear this thread and his project build thread on my local forum get bumped within a week of eachother. This lazyass bastard has been a lazyass bastard. I wasn't home over Thanksgiving to give him a hand. He ordered the wrong clutch kit thinking that his had a LFWF for an LGT instead of the 06 wrx one thats on there. I graduate in a few weeks and will be able to work on it (potentially by myself) if its not done by the time he goes back to school in Jan.
