ebo03 Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Why the switch? Better support for the ecu switch or something else? Easier for the tuner, easier to log, and a few more capabilities in the tuning platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_A_ron Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I am considering selling my cobb and going open source. The only thing holding me back is I like my current 93 tune and I would need to get a new tune if I jump to an open source tuner. (As I typed this I realized I might be able to email the guy who did the original tune and get him to unlock it) Build Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebo03 Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Bad news: it has been consuming substantial amounts of oil the last 6-8 months. Compression and leak down tests were performed and revealed no abnormalities so mostly likely worn rings. Cylinder 4 plug showed obvious oil burning. Good news: started assembling fuel system parts to convert to top feeds. Will order IAG stage 1 plus block in the next month or two. IAG will go through the heads and do any necessary machining, etc. Probably going with Blouch Dom 1.5XT-R with standard inlet and 8cm hotside. Spool and low end torque are my priority while shooting for mid to upper 300s at the wheels. The only other item I need to decide on is a clutch and then it'll be off to my buddy's shop for tear down.

bigBADbenny Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 How much oil? Mines at a cup to two cups per tank... Aka functionally broken... Also looking forward to installing the spare long block;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebo03 Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 How much oil? Mines at a cup to two cups per tank... Aka functionally broken... Also looking forward to installing the spare long block;)Oil consumption fluctuated a lot prior to installing Grimmspeed AOS. It's probably around two quarts every 3k miles now. Prior to adding the AOS, it was more like a quart every 500. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebo03 Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Not much to add at the moment. I have all parts except the short block in hand. I will take advantage of IAG's once-a-year Black Friday sale and save 10% on the block (assuming they do that again this year). I've been a little preoccupied the last little bit so time to work in the garage has been limited...getting married today! I need to button up a few things on the Legacy so it's ready to drive when the Baja is down. I expect it will be a month or more until the Baja build is complete. IAG quoted 3 weeks turn around time for the head work. Swaintech white lightning should be a similar time frame. It will probably push the tuning into January since we are taking a honeymoon the last 10 days of the year.

ebo03 Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 TGV Deletes! If you're gonna do a power build no need to be shy about it at the start. Don't you worry, I've had a set of IAG TGV deletes sitting around for months now. My most recent decision was to add a set of GSC S1 cams to the build.

A_A_ron Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 What is different about those cams? Build Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebo03 Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 Baja Turbos have the same heads and cams as single AVCS STIs. GSC S1 cams have more lift and duration than stock cams without requiring any additional machine work. S2 and S3 require clearancing and wouldn't be very beneficial for my setup given the turbo size and power goal. Also, you wouldn't get the full benefit of S2 or S3 without porting the heads, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kzr750r1 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Neat. Seen a couple of these out here in the valley. Problem out here is this would classify as a truck and get an extra commercial use tax added because pickup truck. Just one more way to tax in cali thanks CDMV. Looking forward to progress and reading back. I am considering this type of wheel on the OBXT if I ever can get some money burning a hole in my pocket.

[emoji38]Stage 2ish was the plan until the oil consumption issues popped up. If the motor is going to come out then why not?

cww516 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 That's what I'm afraid of with the Legacy- new clutch whenever I get around to putting that downpipe on could very easily turn into an 18g or 20g with flex fuel, STI cams, head studs...

ebo03 Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 Dropped off for tear down today. Turn around time on the heads was quoted at 5 weeks so it will be a waiting game for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebo03 Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 Heads were shipped to IAG yesterday. New clutch purchased for Baja. I will use the same that was just installed in my 5th gen...South Bend stage 3 daily. Hopefully it will be running by the end of February.

Somac Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I've got the same clutch in my car and I love it. Seems to hold up to 300wtq with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
