07 WRX TR 18g build thread

I was hitting 27~28 psi on the run. Dont really have anything left in the setup unfortunately. The stock WRX heads are holding back alot of power along with the fear of cracking a ring which im sure will happen sooner or later. I just want to hit the 1.6 60’s again with the 5.0 330’ and see what kind of time i can turn out. My guess is high 12.2 to low 12.3. I wouldn’t mind selling the car and getting something new haha.

Cracking a ring due to?

I’d say try again but if you want to sell the car, stay away from the track.

MID/LOW 12s and AWD on the street is dangerous especially if you can cut good R/Ts.

Cracking a ring due to it being a subaru. I mean i havent had a single count of knock so i really dont have anything to worry bout but its always sitting in the back of my mind.

do they have weak ring lands, or is it the actual ring breaking?

That sucks. One thing I always worried about is that my datalogger POLLED for data meaning that knock could occur but I wouldn’t be reading that data at that time. So, you could have knock (probably small) but never see it.

With that said, knock at X + 1HP is worse than XHP.

I’d keep it safe if you are that worried but that’s just me. A working slower car > broken faster car.

ring lands and rings on stock subarus ftmfl. hater i feel ur pain… even with my block im still scurred of it happening…again. nice times though. i might come hunting for you on sat/wed if i got some $ floating around.

Subaru motors :nono :headbang :angry2

I want my 4G63 back :nod

Your EVO was gorgeous. You love to buy/sell cars tho. :slight_smile:

Which one Shawn? I built two of those som-bitches for him in the past. Personally, I’d love to pull up that yellow E8 with the Revolvers again. Whoever owns that car now got a hell of a deal when they bought it.

Justins MR currently resides in MA to a lucky guy named Joe. Joe brings the car back out here to me to work on it as he doesn’t trust anyone else with it. It’ll be back out here within the month to get some more work done :slight_smile:

The last one is the only one I have seen. It was very tastefully done.

That’s the MR. I tried to keep that car clean-clean on the install.

da king- impressive times to say the least but your wastegate was still fluttering :ponder maybe you need a 44mm?

Yah im not worried bout it the boost is smooth which is all that matters. i Was wondering the other day if the 44mm would make the dif.

You sir, are retarded. What hater was saying is that if he had a built motor, he’d be able to push it a bit harder than what’s been done already. Reading comprehension + logic > you.

A lot of built blocks make more power than stock even with same specs. Aside from better possible VE, the motor is fresher. Not saying that’s always the case but it’s definately a possibility.
