  1. Here's my meat. 245/40R17 RE71R on 17x9 et45 RPF1's. They needed every mm of inboard room the coilovers provided, and a good fender roll. Recently lifted about 0.5" for autox and track. Required for kerbs and elevation change at Mid Ohio on 7k springs...
  2. FYI this build list is fantastic, #goals right here. GLWS Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  3. I was able to block off the inlet side of the TMIC, and pressurize the intake through the PCV nipple. Holds 10 psi with no leaks, even with the oil fill cap removed. So, this solved the crankcase pressurization issue. Pulled the PCV valve, still rattles and passes the blow test (can only blow thru in one direction) which is confusing... Regardless, I have a new oem PCV assembly on the way. Stay tuned for an update after reassembly this week. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  4. Bump. Any tuning gurus? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  5. I got issues, could use some help. I did an HPDE last month at Mid Ohio, car ran absolutely amazing. Checked LV's throughout the event, trims were +/-1% with no flkc. This week, I'm seeing fuel trims increasing with hunting idle when coming to a stop. I attempted a boost leak test, but find I'm unable to build pressure without the oil cap on and tight. Should I be able to build crankcase pressure through the intake this easily, or is it TFANSB? Maybe a failed PCV? I'm really hoping this is just something stupid...

  6. Hose to the ebcs kinked or blocked? Just dealt with this myself. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

  8. Glad to see this car still kicking! Gives me hope lol. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  9. Found my Moore Performance uppipe cracked at the welds on both ends. No wonder I haven't been happy with turbo response lately! Also explains the fumes in the cabin under heavy acceleration. Today I pulled off the TMIC, downpipe, headers, and uppipe. While I was in there, I replaced the mega crusty oil cooler coolant pipe and elbows, tightened the ebrake cable, and started designing a new bracket for the 3port. New Grimmspeed uppipe and RE71R's show up tomorrow, still have a ways to go before Mid Ohio July 12th. I'm excited to see how turbo response improves with the new parts.

  10. Well, this car is a ******* animal. The new upgrades made a massive difference in turn in, and overall grip and balance. I managed to bring home a runner up trophy in XA class in the ultra competitive Cincinnati region SCCA behind a 2018 STi. Still at -1° front camber with the factory bolts maxxed, so a few more degrees should erase any remaining hints of understeer. The only concern this weekend was my learning view after the event showed quite a bit of pulled timing. I fear I may be maxxed out on fueling with oem sidefeeds on this 16g at 20psi... Next up is camber plates, corner balance, and oil temp/pressure gauges. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  11. That's a tumble generator valve (TGV) motor. Easy to replace. I'm not 100% but I believe that cracked housing could cause a vacuum leak which would explain the rough idle. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  12. When you say the turbo went boom, you mean the turbo bearing ate itself and there's a ton of shaft play??? Usually that sounds like a dentists drill and ability to make boost is completely gone. If this is the case, you have a ton of bearing material floating around in your oil and the entire engine is likely on borrowed time. Sorry for the bad news. Also, go to a better mechanic that knows Subarus.
  13. Just saw this. I'm in the market for a midsize SUV to replace my wife's 2015 Corolla S. I've been trying to decide between a CX5 and a XC60 and need to do some test drives. Part of me wants to just go electric and get a Model Y, but this new Subaru would likely be more functional and budget friendly. Hopefully it's not vaporware. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  14. Tonight I got a Whiteline 20mm RSB, Kartboy solid endlinks, and AVO reinforcing brackets installed. Holy moly does this car rotate! The car will now oversteer on demand, both while trail braking and throttle on corner exit. I'm pumped. Ready for autox this weekend. Also, I'll be playing in the new XSA class this season. Hopefully some better competition than SM. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  15. Appreciate the support, we made the most of the day as best we could. A little positivity and low and slow smoked meat goes a long way for improving one's mood. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
