Recommended Posts

lost an injector today. mech thought it was the ECU at first but his test light was loose in the connector. got it fitted, found out injector closest to driver side died last night on wifes way home. 120 bucks later she's back to normal.

 

question: are there bigger injectors i can upgrade too?

Watched her drive away this last Sunday. Had a great time with her. She's in the good hands of an enthusiastic and capable new owner.

Replaced her with something a little newer.

CX racing turbo lost its ceramic ball bearing a couple weeks ago. Starved it of oil after two 50-130mph pulls in a row. Sure my oil restiction was slightly too small, but specs were not included or available online. I had to contact customer service only to find out their rebuild kit does not include a ball bearing and compressor wheels are unavailable for purchase. So despite the good/mixed reviews on their turbo's, they don't have parts for replacement.

So, I Picked up a used precision t60 .48ar turbo, the thrust bearing was shot. So I rebuilt, primed, painted it with VHT flameproof ceramic coating, did all the baking in an old bbq. On my last 600° bake, some old grease at the bottom ignited and I just let it burn out. Surprisingly the black soot cleaned right off the red compressor housing and is so far flameproof. Hopefully, the paint holds up to the temps advertised. http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u386/onefastlt/Mobile%20Uploads/CAM00747_zpsuzinmale.jpg

Also, got some rear EBC rotors and pads that go on before the turbo. I warped some AutoZone rotors with napa pads after a spirited drive up my favorite mountain pass. http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u386/onefastlt/Mobile%20Uploads/CAM00741_zpsgky9haww.jpg

Finally, back to big turbo fun. 60mm precision turbo in a .48ar really hits hard @4k rpms and should last longer. Only 12psi until I get some datalogging in but its much faster than the stock turbo @18psi. I will be beyond the 550cc injectors at about 16psi.

The ej20g's 440cc is the largest injector that can be used on a factory ej22t, think someone asked earlier. I traded someone my 440's for this purpose. http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u386/onefastlt/Mobile%20Uploads/CAM00754_zps6d0fgrar.jpg

Last weekend we are with friends (2xBRZ a WRX Prodrive) visited the open day at the Most circuit.

It rained all the night before, so the track was very wet, my best lap time on weekend is only 2:24.34, my best time on a dry track is 2:09.77

 

My onboard videos

 

and one video from the perspective of the Mini Clubman S

- in time 3:15 is friends WRX Prodrive and my Legacy is in time 4:22

 

I apologize for some grammatical mistakes, English is not my native language

^^ That looks like a lot of fun in the wet!! Great to see a BC on track! Thanks for posting.

 

wet track is great, but I prefer a dry track with more grip :icon_chee

I love driving on circuits, my BC is built as a compromise for driving on winding roads and circuits, it is a small hybrid between BC and GC8 :cool:

 

if you do not mind that last year, so here's my BC as chasing the STI 04 :icon_twis

Got my 22T/205 hybrid running in the 03 WRX!!! It's pretty awesome. I'm putting down 191 whp in third gear @ 4500 rpm and 220 lbsft of torque @ 16.5 psi @ 4500 ft above sea level on 91 octane.

 

My tuner is Phatron of Phatbotti tuning and I highly recommend him if anyone needs an etune if they have the ability to tune with acessport or open source.

 

I know that this build is in an 03 WRX but the heart is first gen closed deck 22T! :)

Here is a virtual dyno graph. We're still tuning it but it feels like a beast. Easily get 100+ mph super quick in 3rd gear revving to 7k. Not sure about final whp but feels like I'm getting close to maxing out the td04. I love the quick spool and loads of torque. I'm considering upgrading to a 16 or 18g, possibly a DOM 1.5 XTR but so far I couldn't be happier!

Thanks man! It was a long road to get to this point with all the setbacks but it was worth it.

 

Yeah, a 16g would probably be the perfect turbo for this build. The TD04 doesn't utilize the full advantage of the STi cams I installed. But it's still a great turbo. I had a mint TD04 and didn't want to invest in a larger turbo until I was sure the built 22T was working properly. I can swap te TD04 over to the SS when I get the upgraded turbo w/supporting mods.

 

I did a 'hard break in'. I idled it for 10 minutes first start up on cheap Walmart 5w30 dino oil. Dumped it and changed the filter. Flashed the base map, drove it around easy for 20 minutes. Scaled the MAF while revving to 4k, lots of engine braking, scaled the MAF again, flashed a revision, and started beating on it. We're on revision 9 or 10 and I'm driving it like I stole it. Once I get up to 500 miles I'll dump the second round of 5w30 dino oil and switch to 0w40 synthetic.

 

With the Wiseco forged pistons it's not any louder than a stock motor which is surprising. It's actually pretty quiet. Group N motor and trans mounts, Kartboy shifter bushings, and Whiteline steering rack bushings added a lot of NVH but I'm getting used to it pretty quick.

Thanks GTEASER! Looking at my most recent log I am at 200 whp on a slight incline @ 5.4k. I'll post some more dyno graphs as the tune progresses and I go back out to the Great Salt Lake where the roads are nice and flat.

 

I use a freeway on ramp near my house for safe 3rd gear datalogging so I should graph higher whp on the flats.
