Wolfies Build


Recommended Posts

As some of you know I have been working on a motor build for my 06 OBXT L 5EAT "Wolfie". I plan on documenting the build here and also using this thread for questions I have, as they arise.

 

When I bought her she had 65k miles and was relatively stock with the exception of a few bolt on mods. I was originally planning on going monster truck and lifting her until I found this forum, I had been spending way too much time on outback.org. After about a year Wolfie went stage 2 and the fun began. Stage 2 lasted about a year and big surprise... cylinder 4 ring land failure. I had already purchased a short block and placed an order for a BorgWarner EFR series turbo with the intention of doing a higher power build but the failure forced my hand and the build was moved forward.

 

On to the nitty gritty.

Yes I plan on going with the fr rotated kit which I think will limit me to the sti intake manifold. I'm pretty sure they are the standard apr studs but I will have to check the box. As far as the boost is concerned I will see what the tuner thinks, I don't expect much over 28-30 psi

Yes I will be upgrading the 5eat. I picked up a built 06 LGT 5eat that probably wont work in my car, lgt fd is 3.29 and obxt fd is 3.54 . I was finally able to find a local shop that is willing to swap some parts over for me, transgo clutch packs, tg valve body, upped stall tc, trans cooler, center diff bushings, 07 R180 (3.54), spec b rear axles and we are still looking into front diff options. When Climber D comes out with the updated vb I will run that instead of the Transgo unit, but the tg should work for now. Do you have any suggestions or parts I may have over look ?

Thanks for the compliment, I agree it should be fun. the 6mt swap is a lot to bite off right now with everything else that's going on. I want to push the 5eat and see what it can handle, if it breaks I'll probably end up doing the swap.

All of the machine work is pretty much finished, I have to order the full race plumbing kit and put it all back together. The same weekend my car broke down my wife got pregnant so my priorities and monies had to change direction. I still have a ton of small things that I'm working on :). Thanks for asking.
