eckseleven Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) Now that the Group Buy is done and parts are being shipped, some of us are starting the install and the journey to Stage2. Post your pics, thoughts, experiences, troubles, fixes and results here. For a brief summary of parts necessary for, or beneficial to, the install, see Post #1 of the GB thread. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/group-buy-nameless-performance-2010-legacy-gt-divorced-wastegate-downpipe-243956.html Thanks.... GTEASER Getting mine installed tomorrow. Fingers crossed it goes smoothly. Things are pretty rusty down there and my coolant lines look horrible. Hope they don't get bumped and crack leaving the car stranded on the lift (ordering lines today I hope). I have the ARP bolts and a new gasket ready to go. Going to tell the shop to throw some anti-seize on there as well. Question for anyone that has played around with the nuts/bolts that come with the exhaust parts: does it seem like the nuts won't thread on? I can't do it by hand. It looks like it may be lock nut but unlike others I've seen. Just need to make sure this is correct before I go for install tomorrow. Still trying to get a tune date set. Hoping to have that next week or the week after. Tuner said he wouldn't provide a temp map for me to get there so hopefully his current tune will play nice with the DP until I get there. My goal is to be the first from the group buy to be tuned! Since many of you are waiting, you can live vicariously through me.

cww516 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Yeah, they're deformed-thread locknuts. Those dimples on the top are put there after the threads are formed, makes it so the nut pinches down on the bolt. I haven't taken the hardware out of the bag, but you should be able to get a couple turns on there before it grabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't taken the hardware out of the bag, but you should be able to get a couple turns on there before it grabs. They do thread on a few turns then stop. So that makes sense then. Thanks! Oh, and tune date set for next Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripstik Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Oh, and tune date set for next Friday I'm Dying to see that torque curve. so glad someone is getting this in pronto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eckseleven Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 I'm Dying to see that torque curve Me too. I just hope my 37k mile OEM clutch is up to the task. Tuner is a 3 hour drive away. Would suck to turn around with nothing to show for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripstik Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 37K? how long have you been stage 1? i went stage 1 around 35k and I am now at 52K and not seeing any signs of its demise *knock**knock**knock* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eckseleven Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 Somewhere between 8k and 10k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apexofthevortex Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Just got mine installed yesterday. Luckily there's a dyno about 5 minutes from my house. I believe it was 280whp/345wtq notice how smooth the curve is. My tuner says "do you have a 3-port? Your curve is gonna be all over the place if you don't":lol:. It is much louder than I expected. Is that amount of torque normal for stage 2? I always thought 300/300 was the standard. Sorry for the shitty pic but it helps to see the curve.

eckseleven Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 Aw beat me to it! I think those numbers aren't far off from typical. What exhaust do you have? I wasn't expecting much more noise. Sent from my One using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apexofthevortex Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I've got the N1 which makes sense why its loud. Its about the same at crushing speed but much louder when you open it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apexofthevortex Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Just the N1 and a GFB BPV. No baseline dyno graph unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Just the N1 and a GFB BPV. No baseline dyno graph unfortunately. Sorry I'm new to the platform so I'm trying to grasp everything. But from what I'm gathering you have the dp, Axel back and bpv (can't figure the brand acronym) and you're making those numbers?

But from what I'm gathering you have the dp, Axel back and bpv (can't figure the brand acronym) and you're making those numbers? these things love to make torque. just an OTS stage 1 93oct tune on all stock parts gets you around 25% increase over stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 these things love to make torque. just an OTS stage 1 93oct tune on all stock parts gets you around 25% increase over stock More than that, you're mixing crank TQ with wheel TQ.

ripstik Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 More than that, you're mixing crank TQ with wheel TQ. just giving a safe estimate. its probably closer to 30%... 35% with a pro tune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Interesting. Yeah those mods seem very potent. I think I'd like to follow your path. Seems straightforward enough. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eckseleven Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 Couple pics with it installed. Best I could do with car on jack stands. Turns out it bolted up fine to the AVO exhaust with the supplied hardware. No noticeable difference in sound at idle. Haven't opened it up yet because it isn't tuned so no comment there yet. I suspect the shop took it for a joy ride because stuff had slid around in the trunk. [emoji35] Hopefully no harm was done. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11/08/053f991844c3e9a181d1454e1bb3ffdd.jpg http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11/08/87ddcd33dd55ecadfd1cef0ad21cd92c.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
