makavelli Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Im new to the Subie Fam. Im coming from a 08 EVO X (IVEYTUNED) 455whp 429wtq @33psi FP red Meth and many other mods. Not familiar with Subie as much nor AutoTranny Legacy so my ? is to everyone that can assist.. Who has a VF52 (particularly) on 5EAT Legacy, and how do you like the feel with fine tuning and what your dyno numbers are along with set-ups. Id like to have an idea of what to expect seein as though its a huge decrease in performance for me along with autotrans. And what numbers(dynojet or mustang etc) i should be expecting. Thanks. Serious advice and knowledge preferred. My setup blueprint is: Invidia Catback Invidia Dwnpipe Divorced(no Cat) COBB short ram intake (no box) Go fast bits Hybrid BOV (looking 50-50) VF52 turbo stock or 650cc Inj Walbro Fuel pump (Maybe man Boost control)if nec. COBB Access port tune Stock or Aftermarket TOP MOUNT inc. 93 OCT And as much power and tq as i can get safely on Autotrans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiglow Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 get the valvebody mod by Hexmods for the trans, and never look back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makavelli Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Has anybody had many problems with the valve body kit? It seems necessary if I want a slightly bigger turbo then the VF52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiglow Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 the 52 seems to be the breaking point. stage 2 on stock turbo seems okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idiot4hire Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'd go with a kstech intake and a upgraded intercooler my car went through three stock coolers with a vf52. Don't the think you need a boost controller or bov. Maybe a bpv. If you do get a boost controller get ebcs. I think the auto can hold more power if you get the valvebody. Don't forget about suspension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowteree Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 with stock injectors you'll probably see 260whp and 300tq. Injectors is a must if you want to see atleast 300whp. Get a trucool auto trans cooler and hexmods f1 valve body and then maybe you can start thinking about upgrading at a bnr18g. my 5eat vf52 made 270hp and 380tq on just a test run, but my tuner said it was too much for a auto trans that just has a cooler. Told me to upgrade the valve body then come back. he took two degrees of timing out and left it at 263whp and 320wtq my plan is to install 740cc injectors, pp crosspipe and exhaust manifold from grimmspeed, hexmods f1 valvebody and retune. should be seeing 300+whp with that 380tq im dying to feel. With the hexmods valve body installed, the transmission should hold up atleast 350whp the hexmods valve body isn't really necessary if you don't trash your car too often, but im the kinda person that would rather be safe than sorry. Most people who push on 5eat's, their trannys end up taking a dump sooner or later. Center diff. bushings would probably be a good idea as well if you're gonna power brake launching your car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
