Re: Dyno on Stroked 2.2T

Ok, so I finally got the Legacy RS-RA heads onto my stroked motor. Almost everything is the same as the last dyno run. There are three differences. First was the heads, second was a set of UEL Tomei headers, and third I ran my boost a smidge higher to start with. So, testing the car, I found that I ...

Re: Dyno on Stroked 2.2T

Josh - Are you running 550cc injectors? Are you still running a MAF or have you converted to a different setup? I'm sure you have this detailed somewhere. I can go look, I'm just lazy and multitasking at the moment. =)

Re: Dyno on Stroked 2.2T

I've had the roller rockers in the heads for years. No issues at all. I really like them. To be honest, the dyno numbers surprised me. I was expecting a little lower HP numbers. The driving experience in the car is great. I'm quite happy with how the car drives and with its performance. I think if I...

Is ceramic white the same as Pearl White for the 91 sedan? Only 2 seems way to small of a number.

Dyno on Stroked 2.2T

I’ve seen a couple different dyno numbers for legacies running RobTune 440 ECU tunes while on ej22T engines with stock heads. On my car, I have a RobTune 550 tune and my motor is stroked. I figured it would be a good thing to have some numbers on this kind of setup. I have a set of RS-RA heads I’ll ...

Re: AWIC pump replacement and Sillicone hose pipes

I'm using a Johnson CM10P7 I believe for my AWIC setup.

I used to have the stock heat exchanger, but my intercooler wasn't staying cool enough on track days. I upgraded to a larger heat exchanger from frozenboost and things are working pretty good now.

Re: Sudden drop in pressure after 4500 rpms

Hmm, never even considered that. It is a silicone 90 degree elbow I have on the front of the turbo. I suppose I can keep that in mind when doing some more testing. It doesn't feel like it would collapse like that.

Re: AWIC folks...

Yeah just run it full speed. You may be able to figure out some way for the pump to vary its speed based on temperature, but then you'd need the ecu to get the temperature readings (which I'm not sure all the intercoolers came with), and you'd need an ecu that would control it, or you'd need to come...

Re: Sudden drop in pressure after 4500 rpms

Thanks for the tip Josh! Unfortunately I'm not sure it will help. The wastegate is probably set to 10 or so psi, I would imagine. It's a vf23, so I'm not certain what they are set at. My car runs fine on 15psi. No hick-ups or pressure drops at all. The ECU is a Robtune, and the ecu boost control was...

Re: Sudden drop in pressure after 4500 rpms

I'm running a gofastbits manual boost controller. The pressure sensors haven't been known to leak have they? Seems it can only be a hose (I've clamped and zip tied all of them), wastegate, or bypass valve as far as I'm thinking. I'm going to pick up one of those Forge bypass valves with interchangea...

Re: Direct Upgrade replacement for OEM Diverter/Bypass Valve

I thought as much! I originally found this company because of an image they had for a protoge bypass valve. It looked just like ours but I couldn't figure out if the flow was the same direction in relation to the clocking of the manifold hose. Then I found out they made one for our cars as well. I l...

Direct Upgrade replacement for OEM Diverter/Bypass Valve

So I finally found a direct replacement diverter/bypass valve for our cars. It is a drop in replacement for the Subaru OEM part number 14471AA001. Forge Motorsports makes one. This valve also is modifiable. There are 4 springs that they sell to set the threshold of the valve as well. I'm thinking I'...

Sudden drop in pressure after 4500 rpms

So I'm running a RobTune 550 setup with a vf23. I can run 15psi on this setup without any issues. I finally hooked up a voltage readout to the MAF so I could see how far I could raise the boost levels before reaching the limits of the MAF. What I'm finding is that when I raise boost over 16psi, once...

Sure. If you want to have an accurate reading on what your fuel/air mixture is at. I can imagine having one on a motorcycle or other vehicle that has a NA motor. If you are running stock, there isn't too much expectation that things will be off, but it would be a safety measure. Say you go around a ...

That's what I was afraid of. I'll have to check for any boost leaks. I'm going to pull out the injectors and have them flow tested as well. I never had them tested before putting them in, so its possible one may be putting out less volume than the others, although I don't get any hesitation issues. ...
