WJM

hahah...i have the ultimate Poor Man's WRX but with more TQ... total investment is less than 3k at this point.

Its useless really. It wont fix the gremlin. Plus the injectors are the bottle neck.

Top Speed didnt have thier IC fan up and going yet...JWX and I went to go find one like we had at the nasioc dyno day last year...and no dice. So we got ICE! We iced the IC down...it was nowhere NEAR as cool as it would be on the 'street' with the scoop directing the tons of air into it...but it kept it cooler than those other WRX's that went...their IC's got pretty warm... so the IC was somewhat cool. And at this point I need to make a correction...that first run there is in 4th gear....everyone was pulling 3rd....so we did the other recorded runs in 3rd. So..ignoring the first run...you can see that there is a tremendous gain over the stock stuff with the header/DP and IC. Its stock boost still. The recorded runs goes as follows: 1=4th gear, stock boost (stable at 6.5 PSI) 2=3rd gear, same as above 3=3rd, 10 PSI stable 4=3rd, 11.5~12 PSI 5=3rd, 14~15 PSI I should also note that when i dyno'd the wagon last year, we did 2 runs in 4th...that yeilded the 99 WHP figs...whats strange is the last two in THIRD gear yeilded 10 LESS WHP... where as here it looks to be the opposite. HOWEVER...the STi's are getting ~260 AWHP/TQ...in either 3rd or 4th....and WRX's are getting ~158-163 AWHP in either gear. Yes, it needs more fuel, and NO fuel cut gremlin!!

NO clutch slip after I got the Kevelar one broken in. On the stock clutch the places it wold slip at 12 was at the TQ mountain there. lol above 3500 it didnt slip unless I ran more than 14...but it slipped down low cold on stock boost...and when warm, it would only hold 12 down low.

if the 'conversion' is the same as a WRX on the Mustang dyno we did last year, then i have about 230 at the crank...WRX=160 AWHP=227 crank. Pleiades's RX then mine now JWX's did 88 or so at the wheels...118 crank, and it had bottomless air box, stock exhaust no muffler at 10 PSI...and its got a 100k mile engine in it. So...161/0.7=230. If the TQ factor is the same (we never figured that out at the last dyno day...) then ive got 205/0.7=292.

Yep...stock stuff.

stock VF7 turbo, STOCK fuel system. and thats 161 AT THE WHEELS...thats about 230 at the crank. The timing is at stock levels too. I ran on some no name/nobrand 93 pump gas. I'll get the other charts up and smoothed soon.

We actually did TWO pulls on stock boost, and had identical readings.

this is an OLD beat up 170K+ mile shortblock.

WRX TMIC, TWE header and DP, intake, GReddy PRofect B-Spec II Electronic boost controller.

its not hacked, i have the single runs sorted out now.

Oh and...runs are...stock boost, then 10 psi, then 11.5 psi, 12 psi, then 14~15 psi.

The recorded runs goes as follows: 1=4th gear, stock boost (stable at 6.5 PSI) 2=3rd gear, same as above 3=3rd, 10 PSI stable 4=3rd, 11.5~12 PSI 5=3rd, 14~15 PSI

I just dilled new holes and used a hammer on the lower part for clearance. Also, make sure you check for WINDOW clearance before you finalize installl.....i STILL cant put my RX window all the way down...it hits the speaker...sometimes it slides past it, and gets stuff in the fulldown position...

I'll do it. one thing about Mike, is that he's pretty scattered....and that aint a good thing.

sounds like the DOJ.....check the boots....see whats gone.

i wish it didnt get so busy right after i posted that...as i didnt have a chance to call. I think Folgers will have about 5~7 of them at this time...and for the forseeable future until they are gone...from there, you will have to call TWE directly.

I'll call him here shortly and find out whats going on.

the 3AT is a decent tranny...just the gearing on it sucks and the Torque converter is not the best... Im sure you can get another 3AT pretty cheap somewhere... I had a hard time killing the two 3AT's i had.

no pics of t3h rims?

Did you guys call and pay/get them to ship them?

Do it. i remember taking it out cuz it was floppin all over the place...like the one in the 87 does. BUt now..the switch in the dash is broken again...so it still doesnt work. i dont know where the 89's is. Im sure the rot has it.

DIS is 100000000000000000000000000% better than the disty we have.

oh, that relay box might be gone. get the one from the...well, its gone too. darn.

i posted pics of my pipes... :-p
