Mega Users paintpollz Posted December 12, 2011 Mega Users Share Posted December 12, 2011 Turkeylord, sorry to steal your thread title:), hope your build is going well. I'm planning on doing some stage 2 work on my LGT. Here is the parts list -Kartboy STS - no STS bushings yet -IP&T oil supply line kit -Group N Tranny Mount -Grimmspeed DP gasket -Grimmspeed 3" Universal exhaust gasket -Grimmspeed Exhaust Adapter - Stock CBE is going back on. -Subaru 2.5" donut gasket -Prosport Oil Filter Adapter -Prosport Premium Boost/Oil Pressure Gauge -Drivers side defrost gauge pod that Block8Head is building -Perrin 1 Piece Catted DP -Racer X FMIC -Blitz BOV-Switching to stock -AVO CAI-Switching to stock airbox -tune The clutch is the next thing on the list. I will probably purchase a new one in about a month. I could use some advice at which one to get. The car is a DD, and could possible go to stage 3 some time down the road. The BOV and CAI is already on the car. I'm planning on installing the STS, tranny mount, and oil supply line kit first. The gauges next, and the FMIC and DP the day before the tune. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks! "Remember Danny - Two wrongs don't make a right but three rights make a left." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mega Users paintpollz Posted December 12, 2011 Author Mega Users Share Posted December 12, 2011 Why no STS bushings yet, aren't they a few bucks ? I've heard good and bad about them. Some people said it makes the throw really tight and can cause some tranny whine. If that's not the case I'll definitely order them....Maybe someone with them can chime in. I drove my buddies 07 LGT with Cobb STS and bushings and the throw didnt feel so nice. "Remember Danny - Two wrongs don't make a right but three rights make a left."

Max Capacity Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I drove my buddies 07 LGT with Cobb STS and bushings and the throw didnt feel so nice. You haven't driven a Spec B have you. That tranny is close to Honda smooth. My 05 Wagon with the OEM STS is nice but shifts like truck. It's a whole different animal then the Spec. I don't understand how bushings would make the tranny have issues. I'm thinking the whine is just from more noise being transfered through the harder material. The noise is always there. You want to hear tanny noise, take a ride in my wagon. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

OutbackXT05 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 As far as a clutch goes ive heard good things about the fx300 clutch. Its most likely what im going to buy when my new turbo goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not issues, just a lot tighter. Now I'm contemplating on getting them. I heard the Group N tranny mount does wonders as well. Never driven a Spec:rolleyes:. Hoping my regular LGT will give them a run for their money. "Remember Danny - Two wrongs don't make a right but three rights make a left." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I enjoy the 75,000 + miles on my Spec 2+. I'd go with a WXR flywheel if I did it again. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

robitrice Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 i got cobb sts with oem bushings and its the best mod i have done. ill do bushings eventually but i cant say its silky smooth imo. I would also recommend one thing to add to that list is some sort of boost controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Users paintpollz Posted December 13, 2011 Author Mega Users Share Posted December 13, 2011 I thought about the boost controller. I think the SI drive calms things down enough when I need it. With the lower throttle response the turbo shouldn't hit boost too quick under normal driving conditions. I think....... "Remember Danny - Two wrongs don't make a right but three rights make a left."

robitrice Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 ur prob right...just for tuning aspects gives your tuner more precise boost tuning. ur sig says 5mt? but you said SI Drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mega Users paintpollz Posted December 13, 2011 Author Mega Users Share Posted December 13, 2011 This Saturday the STS, tranny mount, and IP&T filtered oil supply line kit will go in. Will try and post pics. I'm planning on putting in the FMIC and DP on next saturday. This is depending on when itsme is going to get his new shipment of FMICs in. So they may go in after Xmas. Gauges will most likely go in mid next week. This is also depending on when Block8head makes his last 2 dual pods. "Remember Danny - Two wrongs don't make a right but three rights make a left."

Max Capacity Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Saturday...you do know Okemo is open for skiing. Hey, more snow for me.

Mega Users paintpollz Posted December 13, 2011 Author Mega Users Share Posted December 13, 2011 Haha, I know I know....Poor planning this year.

You can ask the Lifty's at the High Speed Jim, Dave, or Willy if they've seen me or Annie at the top, she keeps good track of us regulars. Willy is normally at the A quad during the regular season. I'm normaly one of the first ones on the A quad. This year I have a Ultra pass so I load at 7:45. Have fun under the car this weekend. I'll make some turns for you. LOL Make sure you let us know how the tranny mount works out. Ryan and I think it's one of the best thing's I ever done to the wagon. It shifted so much better under power after I put the STI mount under the tranny. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

Max Capacity Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Jim has the beard and is a painter in the summer. He's kind od a fixture at the high speed. He painted the Gemano's house which was on the curve on Rt100 south, the house that get hit by trucks twice right next to the one that got moved off it's foundation about 5 years back. Dave is the older guy that is always happy. Dave acturally doesn't ski all that well but is trying. Another one keeps track of me is John Meyer the younger guy who is one of the managers in Mt. Op's, he was a Supervisor of the Ambassadors a few years back. He pop's up all over the hill, I must see him a couple of times a day most weekends. He was on this awesome Quad with snow tracks on this past weekend. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).
