tanx bro...do u think its advisable to upgrade to a greddy t-67

 

[jo1]

if it a bolt-on affair it should be fine..... what i'm suggesting you now is a bolt-on from the most reputable shop in US and the price is a bit high because of the reputation they have.

Your v.8 STi is JDM, right? In that case, you need a twin scroll turbo. The FPGreen TD06 in jo1's link above is a single scroll turbo, because USDM STis use single scroll turbo.

If you want to know your options, post this question at www.mysubaruclub.com - a lot of knowledgable people there.

alright tanx so much guys...i currently have everything in place...its just da whole turbine thingie is reali troublesome..cant reali decide wat turbine to change to..n after some advise from sum frds..sayin its not reali advisable to change the sti turbine cause lotsa probs will surface later on..is it true ar??

if u got da budget..grab a bolt on kit with twin entry exhaust manifold.

If u wanna use single entry manifolds, go for the Garrett GT Ball Bearing range..reliable and proven.

 

[jo1]

the effect of twin scroll turbo and ball bearing turbo is only minimal when using a medium size turbo unless you are looking at turbo siries like t6X with full T4 frame.... the saving on buying an old school turbo like T siries instead of ball bearing can be used to purchase other supporting mod..... but that just me!!

According to him, he wanna to do a 600hp Scooby which is oso suitable for Street use!!! Errr... I really doubt tht myself as de driveability n de turbo lag wil kill ya on de street le... :_:

sti-yookusa,

Hey fren, thx for ur explanation ya!!! :_: U said ur mech. in HK is a bunch of jokers??? hahaha... Tht's a suprise to me le... I thought de modding std in HK is pretty high n not far from Jap??? Cos tuner shops such as Top Racing, Crazy Racing, Kayaba - Mr. Simon Yam n etc all r pretty famous... Mmm... mayb u can kinda contact Mr. Golfer from de Evo IX thread under Mitsu section... He is from Macau... And i think he can kinda intro. u a better mech in HK... Hehe... Jus a suggestion!!! So urself in HK for work?

As for my fren he is in KL, he is a tuning shop + tyre shop owner la... He previously owning a 500hp Evo 7 n 400hp+ FD3S b4... And now he is into Scooby for new challenge la according to him... hahaha... He is gonna shift his shop to Sunway industry area la... He is a keen track goer oso... I hvnt tested with him la... but i think he is pretty good in driving skill... Err... Sorry for not able to tell u more abt him la... Cos i dunno whether he likes to b exposed la... Hahaha... Hope u dun mind ya... :_: But wil definately share u how's his 600hp Scooby is when its ready, provided u r interested la... With de above hints, i guess some of u guys here wil know who he is lo...

Hey, did u do any dyno test on ur car?? How many horsepower u aim to do for ur car? Cos this wil directly answer which model of Turbo u should choose for ur car!!! :_: Hv u think of dumping in an EJ25 engine??? Since u r in HK, i guess its easier to get it in from Taiwan or US than v did over here in Msia... I hv actually asked abt de EJ25 engine b4... It seems tht de Sg ppl luv it a lot... It wil cost ard rm30k+... Let us know how many hp u r aiming for ur car la... So tht frens over here can kinda give u some tips on what n which range of turbo to go for!!!

Cheers!!!

Errr... I really doubt tht myself as de driveability n de turbo lag wil kill ya on de street le...

bro, just want to share my opinion. but let me tell u first, i dont own an impreza, or even any expensive car. just an old mitsu lancer with an old turbocharged engine.

but i have experience using a laggy turbo. will only come to life after 5000rpm. to tell u frankly, the lag is not that bad after all. u will get used to it. any gear if u feel the lag is too bad, just drop a gear or two (that's what a gearbox is for). as for launcing from standstill, i appreciate laggy turbo as it helps the car move from the starting line smoothly without excessive wheelspin. when the boost comes in, traction is already nearing its optimum level.

p/s sorry if i offended u. just want to share what i think on big turbos...

 

[sti-yookuza]

stormvolution9...tanx man..ofcos i wud like to know howz ur frds car gonna turn up lar..as to wat horse im aiming for...most proll around 500 ponies ler...dun wan to lose to the evos here..ahha...no offense evo fans...as to hk tuners..i think uve got me wrong ler...i dont mean theyre dumb or wat ler..theyre gud sum real gud ...but just tat sumtimes they reali try to be funny to ur car lar..as in..like u want to install a f-con ecu...they go n install motec...then telll u..."use onli lar..more power..can fly'...ahahha...can pls tell me more about the ej25 engine...im kinda a noob wif subarus man..yea..im working as a chef here lar....tanx bro..nice knowing u..

after using 5000rpm turbo, i downgraded to a turbo with a smaller turbine wheel, but larger compressor wheel. full boost 3500rpm. hehehe cant blame everyone for hating the lag. so nice to drive around in traffic without lag. hehe

 

[Stormvolution 9]

khoyos,

Yo bro, thx for sharing me ur experience man... :_: Dun worry, u didnt offence anyone la... Is good tht ppl like u r willing to share ur experience here!!! Really appreciate!!! Mmm... y i said i doubt de 600hp Scooby on de street is bcos i do hv a fren who's Evo is equipe with GT3037 500hp, n he told us it is lag!!! Tht's pretty strange as some claim tht de GT3037 is a cool turbo where there r hardly lag... But this fren of mine told me it is lag... Hehehe... Hey bro, u station in KL?? Do feel free to visit this thread as u do hv a Lancer...:_:http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=83345

sti-yookuza,

Yo bro, if 500ponies then GT3037 lo... Very popular now le... Mayb u can kinda ask ur mech abt it more... I believe Apexi AX6 turbo oso do gives u tht kinda power too if am not wrong la... Hehehe... Happy modding bro!!! Wil update u on my fren project man!!!

Cheers!!!!

btw nice gathering, and nice cars...

 

[adibk10]

anyone would like to sell only one off the ver 8 turbine for me..
got some nice idea to ver 8 owner..
u'll have two turbine rite..let only one turbine change to bigger one..so there's no lag from low rpm..to high rpm..if im not mistaken la..

 

[SDF]

since u've got a HKS exhaust manifold, how is the flange look ? Stock turbo look or aftermarket look ?

If u goin for 500 + ponies, opt for GT30BB or GT35 wit a small a/r. It'll be close to wat u need mate..
