coSTIgan-GT Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Just a few pics of my STi-swapped LGT. WRX intake, STi TMIC, and TD05-16g EVO3. PDX E-tuned to 19.5psi. Hits full boost by 3000RPM. Great street turbo. http://i787.photobucket.com/albums/yy151/jcostigan1986/DSC00070.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balrock Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Nice! Been awhile since there has been photos of an STi swap. That TMIC and BOV JUST clear, don't they. How long does it hold peak boost? The 16G has to wayyyyy better than the VF40, but just wondering how mid range and top end are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shainz Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 What kind of STI Tmic is that? Looks ebay, but I may be wrong and its a Spearco. Just a few questions: 1) Hows that intercooler staying on there without any brackets on either side? 2 )I noticed you reused your stock LGT turbo inlet, what did you have to modify to get it to fit? 3) Throttle body coolant bypass, arent you afraid of the throttle getting stuck in those Maine winters? 4) How come the boost gauge vacuum line tapped into the EVAP solenoid and not Teed into the BPV? 5) You took out the intercooler shroud, are you planning on making a new one to get sufficient cooling? 6) Did you reuse the LGT crossover pipe? Or get a STI/WRX one? 7) Which TGV's are you using? If the LGT ones, did you have to modify the mounting holes in the intake manifold? 8) What kind of power are you making with the 16g? I'm in the process of doing this myself, and wondering if I could have avoided buying all the parts I did. Overall, good work, but looks a little rough around the edges. I personally like when it looks as if it came from the factory that way. But different strokes for different folks. -Roman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coSTIgan-GT Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Yes, it is a little rough around the edges. I haven't yet made intercooler brackets yet. The y-pipe, throttle body, and bpv hold it in place for now. it hits the hood and clutch master cylinder. I have the stock turbo inlet hose with no mods.. Yes you can do a cleaner intall than this. It hits full boost by 3000rpm and holds it til around 5500 then tapers to 17psi. Its an ebay TMIC. Stock TGVs and now the RH is stuck open causing CEL. Coolant bypass- no, I'm not afraid of it geting stuck closed. If it does, I'll call AAA and they'll tow it to work for free. Boost gauge Tee'd into purge solenoid- cause it works fine and was conveinient. I do not plan on building an intercooler shroud, I had to remove the shroud and hood liner to be able to close it. looks cool as is through the hood. I got an STi header/crossover with catless STi uppipe and ported it from my roomate but I believe it is the same as stock. I did have to modify they WRX intake manifold bolt holes. I haven't had it chassis dynoed, but my AP says 306WHP and 359LBS-FT. Yes its fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coSTIgan-GT Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Roman, if you are planning on doing this, I would reccommend a thinner intercooler. Mine is 4" thick. It hits the a/c line, clutch master cylinder, and hood. Feel free to contact me with any other questions you may have about this. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scubbie B4 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Nice clean install guys! What turbos are you all running? Paul Lee of P&L Racing in Kingston, Jamaica did my conversation & I must say he was meticulous in putting forward its presentation. I'm running the VF37 Twin Scroll from the JDM 06 STi.

grocery getter Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Made 300 / 300 on a Dyno dynamics in Colorado Springs, CO (Revolutions) on 91 octane....6200+ feet above sea level suck...big time. For reference a 04 stage II STI made 240-250 at the wheels while a stock Legacy GT made 180ish. Can't remember on the reservior...bought it new from SOA. and how much power did you make out of that fp green? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcLgtSTI Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Love the STI swaps!! I also have a 2012 STI swap in mine as well. Full stage 3 with CP forged pistons and E85 and a ton more. Putting down 315whp and 367wtrq on a mustang dyno that reads 15% lower. Planning on doing a 6 speed soon because I am scared the trans will explode at any given point under heavy acceleration Pardon my dirty engine bay:spin:. http://legacygt.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=2508&pictureid=11523 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
