Not sure what you mean sir.Hey Chris you might want to look at your own posts of oil pump sizes...

More proof for you:

http://www.subydriver.com/oemoilpmp.html

This is that same pump that come stock on the 08 STi. It will fit all WRX and STi 2.5L EJ25 Motors. This is a 11mm pump the flows more volume then the standard pumps of the 04-07 STi perfect upgrade for when you are building the motor or changing the timing belt.

What are we supposed to see in these photos? something new?

[Seraphinwolf]

I was just hoping I got more light... I didn't really. :sadpanda: Sun goes down sooner and sooner...

My cylinder walls are still looking good I'm wondering if MAYBE I just get stock bore pistons and get stock bore 9:1 pistons. Then I can not worry as much about low end. That way I can choose later to get the twinscroll running or not. Cause since driving Mike's it's been inu head about wanting 9:1 or twinscroll header or both with cost getting in the way. If I supliments the boring out of my motor budgeting in place of different pistons... I'm liking this idea...

[Seraphinwolf]

My responce to someone on RS25...
The lower end may be nice, but if you plan to actually make power, I'd stick with lower comp pistons and crank the boost up.

Meth! Mmmm... Meth-Mouth!!!

Hunting for a twin or single scroll EL slip joint style Invidia header/uppipe... Gonna chop off the end and throw the T4 flange on it. If I can get one for the right price anyways.... If anyone sees it let me know.

[25rSTI]

I saw someone selling a jdm twinscroll on nabisco.

[Seraphinwolf]

Header? Cause I already have my Borg Warner.

[Seraphinwolf]

<<< Needs more money....

[25rSTI]

yes, header and up pipe, maybe even downpipe as well

[Seraphinwolf]

Whatever UP there is would need to get modified unless it has a T4 flange. And DP... I'd have to see. Link?

Put the Rota's back on today to put the Enkie's and StarSpecs in to storage. Talking with Mike some about his thoughts on an Invidia header I'm looking at to cut up after picking up cheap. He suggests a larger primary diameter but we'll see.

Invidia EL slip joint header and up pipe. Picking up this weekend. :) Then chop the end, add T4 flange, and add two EWG flanges.

[yaya]

Why bother with 2 EWG flanges if it's not a twin scroll header?

[Seraphinwolf]

Cause the way the EL runs on the Invidia all I have to do is chop then end of the up pipe and it's a twinscroll once the T4 flange is on. I'll get a pick up shortly.

[yaya]

Was gonna say, it's a waste to run dual EWGs on a single scroll up pipe...

[Seraphinwolf]

Yeah. I started hunting around and found the Invidia EL's are easier to find than the actual twinscrolls and since I need to change the charge flange anyways... :up:

From a goddamn handsome mother****er.

[Seraphinwolf]

Debating trying to do a shorted piping sudo-vmount setup to use with the EJ and just redo to a large when I get the EZ built... Just worried about throttle responce. I picked this turbo for being matched to the 3.0L not a punny 2.5L.
So I'm gonna try getting some measurments down with the Mishimoto to see if I could try to get it to pivot. If I can't then there's no point in trying to make it fit.

A SC and terbro doesn't seem like it would be that effective. The terbro boosh would go to the chargah and then chargah would slow the terbro air down..act like a wall.

[98Wagoon]

Nooo silly. Sc's are forced in, terbo is forced out.. so you run the SC to the turbo and it spools the ever loving **** out of it for the low end for launchery, then the terbo gets all terbo'y for the high end. A good balanced system works flippin awesome. The second pic is one of the nicest, cleanest dual setups I've seen.

You haven't Hiprusher. The 2.5 would be more then enough power, easier to get running and maintain, and cost less. Gaddis doesn't run that game.

I'm pretty locked on the idea of redoing 2nd-6th in Spec B gears... Rallispec's "high speed gear" are just those ratios. Question is how much getting them would cost me. Having checked I to cost of a replacement WRX 5mt 3rd, that one gear cost $300... Oh the fearful though of 5 gears... The Rallispec's set cost $1325. One idea is find a Spec B trans. Trade gears and resell for Leggy guys or 08'+ Impreza guys wanting more aggressive gearing.

They are as real as any other clamp. Every companythat makes them have different names for them but they'll do the job and not cost over $125 PER clamp.

Since 07'.

And I have ordered. I need to get the exhaust done right now while things are slow enough at the shop cause I need Rick to take care if it. The intake piping I can do all the ore welding work myself. That way there's enough reason for the car to be dragged in rather than going in and out if the shop with it.

I found your problem. stop buying this crap. no need for the dash to be installed when the motor isn't in, plumbed, tuned and running. use that money to further that ****. you are constantly getting these parts that MAY be necessary in the future, but do nothing to forward the progress. I know it is hard to focus and not pick up the fun little parts, but you gotta try. otherwise you aren't going to realize this dream and will be stuck with a lot of little parts, but no money to put it together.

Gaddis is like his Prodigal Son... the one who keeps screwing up, but dammit if his Pa 'll let 'em fail...

I chuckled.

[Seraphinwolf]

Holy crap, that was helpful advice!

Advice when he isn't paying any attention to be able to rethink what he says.

Joe the bracket is a beam bracket. Which is needed to the wiring, steering column, and a few more things to be in place. I'm not worried about the dash board and not gonna even touch that till after it's running. As for the hose. I needed a line for the clutch since I didn't have one so again pay attention before opening your yap. I also still have my secondary motor in place for fabrication work while I build the primary.

My apologies, you seem to be on the right track. So that all shoud be good and ready.

[Seraphinwolf]

Thank you. I'm focused again and a few loose ends tied but to not be wondering "which to I choose" and such. I get antsy in the winter too so this whole "sun's still up" when I get out helps a LOT on my motivation.

[Seraphinwolf]

BTW if anyone wants that long block 2.5 I'll be posting it at some point, or if someone wants just the heads I have a possible use for keeping the shortblock. :hide:

[Seraphinwolf]

Selling the spare motor to Paul at ECS so out it gets yanked tomorrow and at some point the half torn down other motor in for exhaust fabrication fitment.
Good thing it worked out that work is slow so they told everyone that we could take the day off if we wanted turning the weekend into a FIVE DAY WEEKEND!!!

I got about this far on the dash yesterday. After talking with Paul at ECS about dash swap stuff it looks like I'm gonna need to make a custom dash beam after all out of the GDB and GF beams.

This little bugger needs to be dremeled out of my way just like a little point that was in the middle that I hacked off for clearance. That I'll be tackling today I hope.
http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn281/seraphinwolf/Lilly%20AKA%20Project%20SixGun/5e297220.jpg
Also moved some of my parts at the shop into upper storage and actually together rather than different places. While I had the muffler section down I got to measuring and figuring how much of the spare tire well is being cut away. Oh and about 4" of the bumper will be trimmed to accommodate the outer exhaust tips.

My work note book is slowly getting filled up with diagrams and scrawling. I like to thoroughly map out this kinds stuff before I start actually cutting or making stuff. Plus it helps be to reference what I've already mapped out if I don't have the car or part right in front of me.

[Joe]

Where you mounting the spare when you are done with the cutting? or are you gonna rock a daily without a spare tire?

[Subyspeed]

spare tire on the roof ftw!

[TurboRush]

Can o fix o flat - thats what they gave me with my M5 (no spares, haha).

[Seraphinwolf]

Spare tire wouldn't do much good anyways, but I don't plan to bring one anywhere. AAA card is all I need. If I get a flat or something I"ll probably have more to worry about than just putting a spare tire on the car. If I do take anything with me it'll just have to bounce around in the hatch.

[yaya]

I don't run a spare tire in my car either. It won't clear my brakes.

[Subyspeed]

Can o fix o flat - thats what they gave me with my M5 (no spares, haha).

Did they give you a full size can?

The can in the lotus is the same size as my cell phone. I doubt it would even work :lol:

[yaya]

I'd only use fix-o-flat if you plan to replace the tire, or spend more money to have the tire removed and the fix-o-flat removed before plugging. Otherwise, it won't balance right.

[Subyspeed]

Yeah that is what I have read. I would just call my insurance and use my free towing policy

[Berge56]

This.

This

[Seraphinwolf]

Stock spare will neither clear my brakes or match my bolt pattern. If I find a set of Spec C 6pots they DEF wouldn't fit.

[apkarian100]

Don't scratch up that muffler up by laying it on the pavement! :eek:

BTW, I like you quad tip and rear bumper combo idea.

[Seraphinwolf]

I do too but I do end up STILL trimming more space for the tips. I love the sound from the Q300 on Gary's car and others.

[-III]

If you use fix-a-flat, I will not patch it. It gets everywhere and so extremely hard to clean up.

[Seraphinwolf]

I never would use fix a flat again... Stuff is horrible...

[-III]

People come into work and say they used fix-a-flat, I quote them on a new tire

[98Wagoon]

I used fixaflat once.. my tire blew out a half hour later..

[Penguinetti]

I didnt even know this stuff existed....

pro'ly for good reason...

[Seraphinwolf]

:'( I found some old pics I've been missing for a while whilst digging up pics for my ex... My poor baby and mashed up... So long LONG time ago...

You scared me, all I saw was the pics at first, and thought you pulled a Jojo :spin:

[Seraphinwolf]

Was a unlucky day many moons ago in 03'. Within an hour of having the car for a week... :( Had to wait a month to get the car back. Was a head to head with a Chevy Fleetside that turned into the road and cut the centerline. Not my bumper was untouched excluding a few scrapes... Bottom of his bumper just grazed it.

[Seraphinwolf]

Got to the shop after work today all set to install the clutch master and slave cylinders with the delay valve delete kit... and then realized I forgot have of it at the house... :( Made sure to put it all in the car when I got home and will replan for Wednesday. Would do it tomorrow but send off shin-dig for a budy heading off for training in the air-guard.

[RCKSTR]

Better luck on wednesday then! I hate forgetting **** yet I always do... :lol:

[hiprsha666]

That sucks

[Seraphinwolf]

I don't do it often but I do do it... Partially why I like having only two locations where all my stuff is. If I can't find it at the shop it's at the house, and vise versa.

[My Name]

At least you don't have far to go. When that stuff happens to me its all ways a hour or more drive away.

[Seraphinwolf]

Stopped being lazy a little bit today before running off to pick up my girlfriend and go meet her daughter finally.
http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn281/seraphinwolf/Lilly%20AKA%20Project%20SixGun/ae2887b2.jpg
Hook it all up like stock before deleting the delay valve. Then back off with the slave to tear it everything off.

And there it is! The hard line off the back of the slave didn't want to come out as easily as the rest but set it in the table vise and it came out just fine.
http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn281/seraphinwolf/Lilly%20AKA%20Project%20SixGun/d7f676a5.jpg

This was the conditions the two previous days I'd have set to install the master, slave, and delete... As cool as it look it was con conducive...

Looks good.

[-boz]

Snow!?!?!? Where don't even have that stuff in Maine.

[Joe]

How is that flange, v-band, 4 inch exhaust coming along?

[Joe]

Bump. anything going on with this? I've made some progress on the Dakota, so you need to do something now. a deal is a deal.

[Seraphinwolf]

Shop number like 5 is actually making my flanges. Last place the guys son was a douche and ha it out with me because he miss understood what I told him and when he came by decided to have a hiss fit and not listen when I tried to apologize for the miscommunication and resort what was going on. SOOOO... Different place is doing them. :shrug: The other day I put the COBB rear swaybar stout mounts on about 85%(on of the bolts snapped in the chassis so I need to drill it out and retap)
Other than that just been working at lining up maintance upgrades on the blue wagon, paying down credit cards, and spending time with my new girlfriend...
I need to talk with Mike and Rick about where we're gonna roll the car in to work on it for fabrication stuff.

[25rSTI]

Hopefully they make those flanges quick!

[Seraphinwolf]

:shrug: Not gonna lie. Pretty close to spot on. :up:

[Seraphinwolf]

Been around a month since my last update... Been kinda slacking on that. Not a **** ton going on, mostly planing work and measuring.
Flanges are gonna be in any day now. My fabricator decided to request an adjustment to how the flanges will be. One upping from 3/8" to full 1/2" and making a desgin change to the holes for better weld joint for the primaries to come off them. Boy will these things be heavy duty to handle the pressure and heat!
I do need to hunt down an 05-07' STi ebrake cause my 04' STi ebrake doesn't exactly work with my 07' Limited dash.
Been doing maintance on the daily driver and also prepping it for this season of autocross. And in between that and waiting I've been doing lay out and mapping with intake piping, marking up to cut out my upper and lower radiator supports, continuing to forget a few parts at the house, and doing lots of measuring for the cutting and such that will go with installing my GR8 fitment Q300.
Pics of a few to follow when I upload a few or when I remember to take them.

[98Wagoon]

You know what project hasn't been uselessly updated in months?



The wagoons.

Handies?

Is this progress?

[Shiux]

Probably not.

[Seraphinwolf]

:shrug:

[hiprsha666]

I dare you to finish this before the end of the summer.

[Shiux]

Double devil dog dare you to.

[Seraphinwolf]

Tom you wanna give me the money for finishing by end of summer? Speaking of funds I found that I apparently have a second clutch master cylinder... anyone wanna buy?

Worked on the dash some today. Got the pieces cut out that were in the way and started digging through the dash pieces to make sure I"m not missing anything other than that stupid ebrake handle... Someone wanna trade and 05-07' STi handle for an 04'? :lol:
Anyways Dash... Pesky thingers in the way. CUT THEM OUT!!!

Yes, give me your paypal address and I'll send along some money.

[Seraphinwolf]

The clearance issues I was working on last week with the radator and sorting out the angling of the radator and the front mount. Still need to get everything seated just right to see which way I'm going to route the piping.

At some point either when i was moving it out of the garage or something else the lower support got dented. It kept the radator from seating down all the way. Had to get under there and pry it down before finding where I want to cut the upper and lower supports.

There is some clearance problem at the moment from just needing to put those top bell housing bolts in. Haven't needed to till now but will need to be done for measuring and durring exhaust fabrication.
