05COLEGGT Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Is it me or is the a 'Epic Fail' hidden in this thread somewhere? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialB Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 and by tomorrow I meant tomorrow, tuner told me they had another car they wanted to bring to the dyno so they took the extra time today to make sure everything is right tomorrow. Best be no epic fails going on in this thread, I have high hopes.. Mr. Brown does some goood work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialB Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 OK, so they took the car to the dyno and it put down 295whp on the stock turbo, sweet money. Only thing is they want to hold onto it for ONE More Day to smooth out some around town drivability quirks on the E85 map before they give her back to me. Looking forward to seeing what the dyno graph looks like and how much torque shes putting to the ground. very exciting : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specialB Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 driveability issue turned out to be a bad injector causing a misfire... Don't buy cheap injectors its not worth the headache. Now the shop is closed until tuesday, they carry deatschwerks 850cc's in stock I think I'm just going to have them install those unless I come across something else by then, at this point I think its just best to go new parts.

ClimberDHexMods Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Wish I had seen your thread before, could have told you to STAY AWAY from those injectors, though probably better you learn with experience. It hasn't really caught on yet on the forums, but this is what I would recommend to anyone: http://www.fuelinjectorclinic.com/injectors/wrx-sti.html http://www.fuelinjectorclinic.com/cgi-local/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=RL-STI-6-6 I was in on the ID hype parade, and wish I hadn't. And go for the 1100cc FICs so when you upgrade to your next turbo in a month or a year you won't have to buy your third set of injectors. Good luck, especially with selling those injectors.

specialB Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 OK, so I got the car back last friday sorry guys been a little busy I was in PA over the weekend competing in the Tough Mudder and been busy with this second job I started working. BUT, the car is AWESOME. Take a look at the dyno graph before I say more... http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/529221_10150856877944789_600894788_12000416_86731304_n.jpg 349WHP and around 382WTQ tune is really smooth car idles great and all, only issue I ran into thus far was when I found a nice open stretch of highway. WOT in 5th gear over 4500rpms the car picks up a horrible vibration and CEL's start flashing. Hooked up the AP to troubleshoot and it said misfire on cylinders 1 and 3. called my tuner and he said they will have to look into it but I shouldn't be doing WOT pulls in 5th anyways as it puts too much strain on the stock drivetrain. But she pulls fine to redline in every other gear so I'm happy. But hell I have to say she goes like stink. I'll have to upload a video in the near future, maybe tonight : D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialB Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 Oh yea and if you know anyone selling a 6mt tranny...send them my way ahaha, hardened motor/tranny mounts, before I even went VF52 fourth gear has become realllly touchy already. No more power shifting (well maybe just a lot less) for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialB Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Here's a little taste for now, I'll get a better video up with my go pro soon. Was a little wet out so wheel hop in second made it difficult to hold onto my phone filming lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
