06specb366 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 sounds nice, just bought this turbo, injectors,and pump myself. Cant wait to install and tune. Looking forward to your updates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniStiGuy Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Just wondering how you've liked the BNR 18g? I'm looking at going that route as well myself. OEM HID's Rx330 Retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCwagon Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 I really like it. I ran a 16g previously w/E85 and top mount. When I had the 18g/fmic tuned, I was running out of fuel, so I was unable to tune on E85. It takes a bit longer to spool than the 16g, but it is a really nice street turbo. Once I figure out my fueling issues, I am going E85 again. The 18g on E85 should be a rockstar and probably the limit for a stock block w/ 155,000 miles.

tDoug60 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 What numbers did you have for the 16G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCwagon Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 I made 276/292 on 92 octane. I made 324/350 on E85 e85 really is the JUICE. It spooled about 500 rpm sooner at really hit hard. I think with the 18G, it would be lots of fun. I am running a DW 65c fuel pump and am beginning to think it is the weak link. I have replaced everything else AND am running battery power to the fuel pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lingling1337 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Haha my road dyno is showing the exact same numbers as you got for 92 oct. Makes me want to go E85. Cant wait to see the numbers for the 18g! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCwagon Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Thanks man for the info. No sweat. p.s. - These numbers are with an AVO tmic, DW 850's and Walbro FP, stock FPR, and factory exhaust. (16G) I am now running a FMIC, DW 850's, DW 65c FP, Aeromotive FPR, 3" exhaust. (18G) Frankly, I still like the 16G/E85 set-up the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniStiGuy Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 yeah my debate is still over 18 vs 16g I do have e85 around so that is a possibility... goals in the end are just 300hp on 93 oct. OEM HID's Rx330 Retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyvt Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Can't wait to see the dyno plot. I bought the mid pipe from you a year ago. I think I might finally go the route of the 6 spd here soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming the mid-pipe is still intact ? You will love the 6 speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyvt Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I am assuming the mid-pipe is still intact ? You will love the 6 speed. Yep it's still intact. Should I be worried?? I'm slowly starting to pile small parts up for the swap. I think you said you ran the spec B tranny, did you run the R180 rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you said you ran the spec B tranny, did you run the R180 rear? The mid-pipe comment was my attempt at humor. I have an 08 Spec B tranny and I sourced a 3.54 WRX R160 for the rear. Given the cost of the Spec B axles and R180, I chose that route instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyvt Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I figured the mid pipe comment was supposed to be humorous but its always hard to tell online. Hows that rear end working for you. Are you tracking the car at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpmarky Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 18g + fmic + e85 = so much fun when it hits, best of luck to you and your tune. After moving from that combo to my current TMIC setup, I do enjoy the quicker throttle response but I do miss that feeling when the turbo spools. I am considering going back to a FMIC since I do not plan to track anymore, though I'm not sure if the 5eat can handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planelazy Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 How was COBB's customer service and pricing? I was tossing around the idea of going to them (Shame, Cobb in Austin doesn't do tuning) and I was also thinking about going to awdtuning but they seem to be pretty arrogant and anti-BNR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was tossing around the idea of going to them (Shame, Cobb in Austin doesn't do tuning) and I was also thinking about going to awdtuning but they seem to be pretty arrogant and anti-BNR I've been down to Cobb in Plano three times. Calvin does a great job. I believe tuning rates are $400 and another $200 if you want to do a dual tune for E85. He spends about 2.5 hours on the dyno for a tune. I had a scheduling mishap one time with Cobb and it was resolved on their part. They are very busy in that shop. I have found that their customer service is better before the sale than after, but that would be my only complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeVersion1 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Brentuning is amazing just got my car done with them and it is 140% better than the COBB OTS maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCwagon Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Brentuning is amazing just got my car done with them and it is 140% better than the COBB OTS maps. We were referring to a Cobb DYNO tune not an OTS map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
