oconnor Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Well I couldn't help myself I have to start modifying the car. I started buying parts for the car and now I can't stop. I'm on the list for the Hexmods VB not going to install other parts until I do VB mod. This is what I've got to get started: STI catless up pipe CNT catless DP Process West TMIC Once I install VB the rest of these parts are going on. Bought a VagCom cable and downloaded RomRaider and ECU flash I've been reading forum and playing around learning to use logger. I'll be getting an Infamous tune when its time to install parts. Not sure how far Im going to take the car it's my daily driver, probably gonna go too far with it but thats ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete1122 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Might I suggest a Transmission cooler? It's a cheap and easy Mod when going Stage 2. Also have you considered the Lightweight pulley? It helped my 5eat a ton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators BarManBean Posted March 1, 2012 Moderators Share Posted March 1, 2012 ^yeah, what? "Bullet-proof" your OEM TMIC! <<Buy your kit here>> Not currently in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete1122 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Much faster starts from a stand still, the rpm's move quicker getting you into boost a little sooner. It got rid of the sluggish feeling trying to gun it from a dead stop. I bought the Cobb pulley and am very happy. I hear it makes a much bigger difference for us running with the 5eat, those with 5/6 speed manuals don't report as much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oconnor Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Yes I have a Setrab cooler ordered. Going to protect the trans the best I possibly can also going to put the center diff bushings replacing the needle bearings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZP Installs Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 An ATF temp gauge is also a good idea on any upgraded automatic. -mike http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/91072632.jpghttp://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/141039922.jpg http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/133406601.jpg http://upload.pbase.com/image/137566671.jpg 11+ Years Maintaining, Modifying and Educating TriState Subaru Enthusiasts.

Cyclozene Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Does anyone have a write up on the transmission temp gauge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZP Installs Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Does anyone have a write up on the transmission temp gauge? Just a regular temp gauge really. You can tap it in before the rubber lines go into the cooler. -mike http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/91072632.jpghttp://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/141039922.jpg http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/133406601.jpg http://upload.pbase.com/image/137566671.jpg 11+ Years Maintaining, Modifying and Educating TriState Subaru Enthusiasts.

Cyclozene Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 That's actually probably the easiest way I've heard it. The atf should be about the same as in the pan correct? Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk The temp you see pumping into the cooler should be the hottest fluid in the trans, so this will give you a worst case scenario on the gauge. The pan IIRC is where the fluid goes after coming out of the cooler. -Mike http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/91072632.jpg http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/133406601.jpg http://upload.pbase.com/image/137566671.jpg 11+ Years Maintaining, Modifying and Educating TriState Subaru Enthusiasts.
