Falcor Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Are you subbertha2010 on IG? If so, the pull on the dyno I saw law night was pretty cool. If not, it was still pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got it sir, that’s the last pull he did to verify the numbers. Buddy was with me to make a small video.. not sure to when it’ll be finished though.

ebo03 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) Any other pics of dump tube? Looks tight in there near the downpipe. Is it not touching the header and/or downpipe? Maybe it's just the angle of the pic or was this prior to final adjustment?

Does not come near the downpipe. Actually that I remember now, the downpipe wasn’t secured 100%, was resting on the jackstand. The downpipe moved up another 1/2-3/4”(twisted up). Once I figured out if I wanna stay with the plastic tray, I’ll get ground clearance photos. But, I’m leaning towards a aluminum covering. Anybody have any metal skid plates that they recommend?

cww516 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 My Primitive Racing skidplate looks pretty nice sitting on the shelf waiting to be installed! For the record, there are other users on here who have actually installed theirs and have high opinions of them, so that's where I'd start looking.

dgoodhue Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Those are some very impressive gains for a stock 5th Gen motor with bolt ons. IQ performance is a Russian company. I see they make a version that looks like it fits the stock turbo. Is this going to be a normally stock item? or your version a custom one off?

I see they make a version that looks like it fits the stock turbo. Is this going to be a normally stock item? or your version a custom one off? Yeah they make the stock flange headers as well. As far as stock item, I don’t know if they build to order, but they built my headers in three-four days after receiving everything needed. Cool thing about everything is that they basically 3D our under belly/motor mount/ oil pan and can see what fits or not. Have a small sample he sent me of the bracket for the Downpipe. Otherwise, IQ Performance did an amazing job and by far amazed to this day on how the GT is performing. I’m waiting to get my dyno graphs emailed to me.. but you guys wont believe the amount of power it picked up and how much the power-band shifted. Tuner and I on the first hit on 93 was dumbfounded on what it did off gate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI have the Primitive plate. Fitment is spot on. Go ahead and order one. Been running one since I switched to EWGs over 5 years ago. So there are no clearance issues with the entire setup and the OEM plastic undertray? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Honestly I’m just taking it as it goes. Dont beat on it 100% and now I dont have to bang gears just to keep up if I do ever want to go quick lol. E85 will be my choice of fuel while at this level, feel like it’ll save me some time. But then again, I am vigorously changing oil more frequently and plugs every year. Starting to look into building a long block anyways. So I’ll be ready. If the trans go, true sti 6speed will be in with plates to adapt the motor mounts and so fourth.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkUnknown clearance with the undertray is the only reason why I haven't purchased the header yet. Please post pics so I can cross that off and get my order in. In the meantime I did get a screaming deal on a 7163. So I guess I've already somewhat committed here.

Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Will do sir! I believe between the 6258/6758/7163 efr turbos, they will all work with the headers. My tuner said with the 6758, it was the best fit for the engine displacement. I forgot what he said about the 7163, but I’ll ask him this week when i go back to him. Just get the 90 degree compressor housing to make your life easier.. trust me, i tried the normal housing and it was much more complicated. Luckily the company I purchased the turbo from gave me a killer deal on the 90. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 7163 I found was used by a shop owner in TX with less than 1k miles. He ran it on his R32 GTR temporarily before going bigger. Side note - the guy does a lot of Subaru builds including machine work and engine assembly. I had never heard of his shop but they run a time attack car and he's very knowledgeable. P2P Racing is the name of his business. $775 so I couldn't pass on it. 90° compressor from Full Race was about $250. I also got a v-band downpipe flange and Turbosmart BOV block off. Are you using the integrated BOV on the turbo? Are you running the turbo speed sensor? Seems like overkill to me but mine came with it. I think I'll pass on it and leave the 90° housing undrilled.

Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Using the stock bpv on the turbo. I wanted to get rid of all the stupid hoses I had and was able to have my buddy weld up sections of my fmic kit. No turbo speed sensor.. don’t find the use for it since I’m not crazy hp. Stock aftermarket downpipe fit perfectly, chop the flange at the weld, slap the v band on it and extend the tail end 2”. Everything fit perfectly, you’ll have the clock the turbo around and angle it just right for the nipple on the bpv to clear the oil filter. If anybody was wondering.. the stock oil hard line is a M12x1.0. I grabbed an brake adapter to fit the -4an line for the turbo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top graph should be an overlay of the 20g e85 and 6758 e85. Bottom should be 6758 pump and e85 graphs.

ebo03 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Fabsx how is the build holding up? Now that my daily driver is back together I'm start to eye the IQ headers.
