DuveyB Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 hows that front lsd?, id say go with the 20g if its a highway car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strizzy Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 I absolutely love the front LSD. It is the best mod I have done to the car so far (even better than stage 2). It completely transformed how the car handled and cornered in a very good way. I don't know why Subaru didn't do it in the first place.

John M Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 A 20g should be the smallest turbo you'd consider on a built 2.5 liter engine. Lag won't be a concern and power production will be much improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strizzy Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 Parts have been ordered and I'm looking at about 2 weeks for the built block to ready for install. I opted out of getting headers for now and am going with a newly developed 20g which gets its own housing, rather than being stuffed into a vf40. I will be the second person to have it, but first to run it on E85. They are estimating just right around 400whp with this turbo on stock headers . Overall, I am actually under the cost I was expecting to spend on this little build. Now, I'm just trying to talk myself out of getting cams...

joeblow Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 What kind of boost are you going to be running with this turbo? Any thoughts on an external waste gate set up? It's cool; I'm with the band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strizzy Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 Not sure what I'll be running for boost; that will be for my tuner to figure out, as it will be his E85 tune with this turbo. I think he is more excited about tuning it for E85 than I am to get this project completed. He was literally jumping up and down. He tuned the new 18g (same company as the 20g I'm getting) that put down around 340whp on pump gas at I think 18psi (or it could have been 20). No ewg for me, as this will be my DD and don't want to go too crazy with it. At the most, I'll do headers within the year. But who knows, maybe I will eventually do an ewg plumbed back into the DP (I don't want to be a loud attention whore). GT35R: maybe if I went front mount and went with a stroker (which I really wanted to do, but the cost just wasn't justifiable).

Strizzy Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Update: I dropped the car off to my builder today, as all parts are in and the motor is scheduled to be back from the machine shop tomorrow morning. Tear down will start tomorrow along with the shortblock being assembled. Everything is expected to be mostly installed by the end of this week. Then next week it gets its initial break-in on the dyno. After that, I will be taking it a bit easy with just a base map, then going balls out on an E85 tune. I'm still debating on getting headers. My tuner is saying I am looking at about more 50-60 tq with headers running E. But I'm not liking the price of the ones I like. If I go with the headers, I will be selling my DAMD steering wheel I have on order from the group buy. Pics will be added if I find time to drop by the shop during the install.

johnAWD Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 With the internals you are putting in, your power goals are going to be easy. I'm on a 100% stock longblock and stock "headers" and crossover, and have been making 400+ with e85 for a couple of years. Currently using a gt30 and 816cc injectors. With my daily driver. I'd consider something a bit more in the turbo department - the 1000c injectors are going to have considerable headroom, and with more airflow you could be making 425-450 with that setup. Easily... If your budget allows, bolt up an aftermarket header. If you go after more power, I'd go with a FMIC. $0.02 worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njwrestler07 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 how much was all of it? and what is front lsd, sorry im kind of new here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-MuRdaA Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Front LSD is a limited slip differential (LSD) in place of the open differential that drives the front wheels. It is a traction device that usually uses clutches to transfer power between wheels with little to no traction over to wheels that do have traction. http://www.howstuffworks.com/differential4.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strizzy Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Who makes this new 20g you speak of? Tomioka Racing. http://www.tomiokaracing.com The 20g behaves much like a stock turbo and spools up right around 3300-3400rpm.

TRSCobra Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Are you going with the td05 or td06? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strizzy Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) td06 And I just noticed the numbers for the tdo6 and td05 are the same on their site, which is incorrect. If you look at the td06-20g numbers for the 02-07 WRX, they have the same specs as the LGT fitment td06-20g.

Very nice. I can't wait for the results myself. I will eventually go FMIC, but I want to see what the Perrin TMIC can handle. Then I'm thinking about a CO2 IC sprayer. And I think you're really going to like that LSD. Also, what size if the AEM intake? I just picked up a 73mm kstech, and my builder is saying I might be maxing it out once everything is dialed in.

Strizzy Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 (edited) Just a quick update... I stopped at the shop today to drop some stuff off and to take a look at the build. I changed my mind on waiting for a new EJ257 shortblock (which was taking a very long time) and went ahead with just having my block machined and rebuilt instead. Inspecting the pistons in person shows that I had a pretty bad oil consumption issue, as you can sorta see from my shotty cell phone pic. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i274/strizzy123/Mobile%20uploads/IMAG0152.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i274/strizzy123/Mobile%20uploads/IMAG0150.jpg My next dilemma is cams... Should I or shouldn't I? I'm about 50.9% sure I want them. I just don't see/read about many people running them, since the install is a PITA and cost a lot in labor. My labor cost will be minimal/none since my head are already off the block. The way everything looks right now, I should be back in the drivers' seat by the end of next week. Then again, everything is always next week... Update edit: New EJ257 block was unexpectedly delivered after a long backorder. It is the new part number block with the nitrated crank and slightly bigger rods. Edited December 9, 2010 by Strizzy My bad luck build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
