Nice looking ride...and some nice plans in the future. Gotta love the E85!

Now that is sexy!

Great numbers! Bet its a blast with E85 in the tank.

Very nice numbers and curve. Nice to see the turbo performs to your expectation given the wait. Congrats!

 

Dave

Very nice! Love the Alcons just got some myself only got to use em a week till winter hit though but can't wait till spring. Nice ride op!

Car looks good and has a fair share of mods, whats next and what does the future hold?

Thanks. Soon, due to the high torque, I'm also looking to replace the clutch with most likely the Exedy Twin plate (to try keep the feel as close to OEM, but with much greater holding power). Oh, and I'm in on that Crawford AOS v2 group buy.

 

Then probably need to save up for a built short block, as she probably won't be able to stay together with this kind of power, but i'm crossing my fingers, as I generally don't abuse her.

Took her out to my very first autocross event at the O.co Oakland Coliseum/Oracle Arena, this past Sunday. She did perform very well, and could have performed a bit more with better tires. Also, I only had 3 runs instead of he normal 4 so that was a bit of a bummer. I like that I have both ride comfort and sport suspension with the combination of Bilstein struts and JDM STi Legacy springs, this is how the US Spec B should have come stock. Surprisingly, the car handles great with just a hit of oversteer.

 

are you daily driving it on that 370awhp (91 octane)? are you worried about the pistons?

 

I've also got the sti pinks, feels great! I agree, the spec B should have come with these from the factory.

Actually, I'm daily driving it on E85. Not too worried about the pistons, because i'm mainly driving it in Sport mode (18-19 psi) and rarely using Sport# (22 psi). I plan to do the pistons when I need to change the head gaskets, otherwise if the piston does go before that then I will probably buy an 08+ Subaru STi short block and swap the pistons then swap the engines.

Hey man this is looking good! you need to swap the top mount eventually.....it doesnt reflect the quality of parts you have everywhere else. I am doing a major overhaul on my car too and I do plan on making a trip to the bay to visit.

That's a nice set of bbs you got there! The cars not too shabby either!

he's waiting for the GS TMIC =D

 

Comin to the norcal meet in May/June?

Yes of course, where is it?

what clutch/flywheel are you running?

Currently, stock.

Car looks great Finn!

 

Dude you have nothing to worry about being on E85 it's actually safer than 91. At 22psi you already are using a conservative tune. All others are closer to 24 psi. You should be fine.

Finn, just a quick question, any particular reason your tuners are both choosing to dyno it in 3rd gear? the Spec-B 6 spd is closer to 1:1 in 4th. I realize it was a heartbreker dyno but your numbers suggested something else then I saw 3rd gear pulls. Not knocking of course as you have a fine ride right there but I'd like to see a 4th gear pull to better compare.

 

Good luck at your next event!

Hi Drew,

 

The car was tuned by Travis Barnes of Snail Performance on the FW Motorsports Mustang Dyno for both E85 and CA 91 (which was first), with Sport and Sport#, as I had probably less than 2 gallons in the tank, then nearing the final pull on 91, it went lean indicating that fuel had run out. The tuner did 4th gear pulls for all tuning. I then put about 7 gallons of E85 in the tank and then it was tuned in both Sport and Sport# doing the pulls in 4th. During the E85 tuning is when the clutch started slipping.

 

The other Mustang Dyno test was done at GST Motorsports during a fun Dyno day. The Dyno chart shows a 3rd gear pull with a little clutch slip in Sport#. Stock 2014 STI did 235/245 whp/wtq in 4th gear on that Dyno on the same day.

 

Really need to do the clutch and hoping to go back to the same dynos at a future date to get better 4th gear comparisons.

Just trying to piece it together so it makes sense. A heartbreaker reads low but your numbers are a little high but not by too much. I was thinking 3rd gear might explain it but thinking it through the 07+ 6spd is taller and you can really tune in either. Maybe 3rd is safer so your not hitting 120 or so on the dyno. 360 and change on any 20G variant, especially on CA91 is more like 15 whp less all over the net. I expected a Mustang Dyno to read even lower. This is one that reads like all the others. Which isn't a bad thing just not usual and caught me off guard. But really, they are only numbers and you have a very nice car.

510Finn, how do you like that 6SS 20gxr? Did you go with the td06sl2? It looks like a pretty fun turbo setup to have, what are your impressions of drivability on the street in terms of power band?

I like the turbo. It is a TD06SL2, and the ball bearing cartridge seems to help spool it up a little quicker. I DD on E85, and mostly in Sport mode, but as soon as I hit the Sport# button, it seems to come alive and really gets up and goes. I end up consuming the fuel much quicker in SP#, but I Iike having two different power modes to select from. I would say the drivability on the street is very good and power delivery is smoother in Sport mode doesn't hit harder as in Sport# you really feel the torque in Sport#. Power band wise it really starts around 3500 and pulls hard to redline, and in Sport# is much stronger pull.

Sorry for waiting to reply. Thanks, Alex. When you planning to come back to the Bay again? Mark (wpmarky) setup a Track meet for June 1, hope you can make it up, if not then perhaps another time. I know about the TMIC, it will be swapped when the GS unit is released. I'll keep an eye on your new overhaul, i'm sure it will be superb.

Swapped out the CNT catted downpipe with the new GrimmSpeed catless, limited, coated one. I wrapped it with DEI titanium wrap, and then sprayed two coats of Thermo-Tec high temp silicone spray. Mileage was 66800.
