Well thank you for the kind works. I’ll tear it down m-t next week and get some stuff down to the machine shop to prep for work. Call me with the internals come in as I need all that stuff for balancing and machining of the bores. I’m going to bore the cylinders to match the slugs at hand once the rotating assembly is balanced and I know where each slug is going to rest.
As strange and off-beat as the AerioSX was, it was equally fun. That may have been the most fun I ever had building a car. Doing something like that completely off the cuff and having every piece fabbed and retrofitted made for a very exciting project. It ended up being fun to drive in the end also! :banana One of these days BoxerSix will find the famous video of the back road 5am jaunts at 6psi while spraying the giggle gas. God I miss that video!
Maybe BoxerSix will be nice enough to post pics of the empty engine bay and the motor kicking around. Other then that there’s not much to post pics of currently until the assembly/disassembly
If you’re familiar with Subaru’s, there aren’t a lot of stock location turbo options as far as ball bearing. Thrust/Journal bearing are really the only options. You have to goto a rotated mount kit to get a ball bearing turbo and I wasn’t willing to do that. The TD06H 20G retains great spool characteristics and will allow for a good amount more power up top in comparison to the OEM VF39. I also chose this turbo because when doing my build I felt more confident in building a motor that could maximize a turbo rather than choosing a turbo that could max out my motor. Safety first :nod
yeah your stock setup blows(the mounting) but i hate buying things multiple times, i built my motor for durability and its proven itself thus far, if it ever breaks, itll get fixed, but i understand where youre coming from
