Vanislru Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 and damn is it nice having that extra bit of torque. Made for some easier starts on the inclines with these big tires. Less clutch work is a good thing. Lots of power too I can break loose these 29x10.5's with soft rubber in 2nd on stock boost which is about 5 psi less than I ran before but I will crank it after a slight break in period.

Island Roo Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 nice to see the var zipping along, went to Walmart yesterday and blew a coolant hose @ turbo near Cumberland, had to limp home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Awesome. are you experiencing any pinging or detonation problems? Im worried about not tuning mine right when I get it built, and then blowing it up again -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanislru Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 I had the timing at 20ish for the first few pulls and then down a bit further now has barely any pinging with really questionable "91 octane" gas in it. I can't wait to get some good stuff in it. If it did blow up you'd still have all the turbo goodies tho, blocks are cheap around here so I keep several motors around cause rebuilding and swapping's a PITA. My parts car has an H16 lol. I'm going to do a second electric rad fan soon and reinstall the oil cooler, try to keep it cool. About to install the td04 with a wrx chiller too. The Audi one I have now is good the wrx chiller will plumb in easier with the td04 tho. And then...try to make his 4.44 d/r box a reality. And then no more projects or Rianna will kill me!

TheSubaruJunkie Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 What are you using for an oil cooler? Ive been thinking it may not be a bad idea to get one. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanislru Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 It's from a ford auto trannie cooler I think, with one of those screw on adapters and a remote filter mount. I try to post some pics of it tomorrow. I bought it off WJM about a year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Ah thought so. Im gonna contact WJM and see if he has a part number. I think i remember talking to him about it in the past. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
