I recently completed the TD04, 06TMIC, 45 degree intake, & 3" exhuast install and was very impressed with how quickly this thing spools up :D . In 5th gear I have full boost (11psi) by 2100-2200rpm :-D , this seems VERY good to me especially being at 5000ft ASL, but I have no frame of refer...

Hmmm, so should I enter the 15+ class? I hope to break into the 14's but I've only road raced, never drag raced so I'm not to confident in my launching/ starting skills. Is it best to short shift, around 5500 or so? Thats where it feels like the power is falling off.
Thanks!

Thread hi-Jack FYI- I'm going to bandimere on the 26th, see you there...

Yeah, I'd be game as well.

farfrumwork- see any legacy's?

Thanks for the first hand high altitude advice, farmfrumwork . Your approach is logical and sounds pretty realistic. I'm going to set it around 13-14 and save for EM...
Do you have a similar setup?
Going back to bandimere any time soon?

I just installed one from an 03' and it boosted about 8-9psi using the stock boost solenoid. After using a boost controller I was able to turn it up to 11 psi.

I've done a little searching and haven't found my exact application addressed so here's my Q: I have a TD04, 06' TMIC, 3" exhaust, 45 degree intake & 255lph pump and I'd like to know at what boost level I'll max out the stock injectors (no, I have no way of measuring duty cycle, just lookin...

I've seen some bumper heat sheilds on ebay that I"m checking out for the same reason (except my tip is a little closer than your) Here's link: http://motors.shop.ebay.com/_Car-Truck-Parts-Accessories__bumper-heat-shield_W0QQ_nkwZbumperQ20heatQ20shieldQQ_fxdZ1QQ_ptasZ1 Or you could always make y...

FWIW- I ordered a cheapy WRX turbo back off of Ebay, $224 shipped to my door, and it 'fits'. Granted its a few inches short, hangs a little low because its not exactly in the stock exhuast channel and the hangers don't quite line up with stock, but I knew I'd have to mess with that stuff anyway. Reg...

Or you could buy Spitfire999's HKS downpipe and have a tube welded on that dumps into the atmoshpere? It would be harder to do on a bellmouth or divorced WG housing DP but much simplier on the HKS piece, it would look similar to the pic you posted except in coated carbon steel not SS.

But how much better is the TD04? can it make more power? can it pull harder? does it push more cfm's? ooo and is that the biggest turbo i can run before i need to swap out injectors?? if you answer yes to all of those answer i can so easily get a TD04. I work at the subaru dealer! It's a little bet...

Another very popular option is the TD04 off the WRX's. Some of them even have the 90* housing - I think. It will match up to all your existing exhaust flanges though without modification. It will be as strong as the hybrid you are thinking about and will offer equivalent spooling. The TD04 is kind ...

Thanks for the insight gentlemen! Are the fuel rails to EJ20Ks & EJ20Rs specific to those motors or will I be able to go junkyard diving for somthing that will fit my ej22t?
Nico- what fuel rails does the deutchworks kit make these fit into?

Thanks in advance!

The Legacy's idea looks to be a better resolution, but I already spend $43 on one 90 degree silicone elbow and I just couldn't bring myself to spend $90 on two elbows, so I'm trying the cheap way out first...

Last night I got something together that 'should' work, but is subject to what spare parts you might have laying around and the strength of gorrilla glue... :roll: I used the stock 06 y-pipe but cut off the bellows section that would connect to the turbo on a wrx. This left 3/4' to attache to before...

Not sure about wtdash, but yes, I'm using the stock 06 y pipe.

Dr. G...You got anything yet? Not yet, I ran into some other issues that I'm trying to deal with... I'm going lerking, hopefully tommorrow, for a suitable radiator hose for this connection. I'll post when I've got something figured out... That link I posted above was actually for a guy that was usi...

Interesting, how can you tell? Hopefully my suby mechanic has some of these rails laying around as well if they don't fit into his 92-94 n/a's.

I assumed since they are side feed they would fit in 92-94 N/A fuel rails, right? I haven't picked the fuel rails up yet... I was a little hesitant, but am hoping for the best as I wasn't able to find any 440's recently (I'm sure I could've looked harder, I'm lazy ;) I suppose I could get them bluep...

My appologies if this is in the wrong section, mod please move if so. But hey, the injectors are in the intake manifold, right? Anyways, I bought a set of what are claimed to be 440cc yellow top jdm injectors off a 99 sti, but I've only found info here on grey top 440cc's. My question: Do yellow top...

There's a relatively easy fix to the strut clunk in the rear sti struts, though it becomes routine maintenance. My STi had this issue and i replaced the struts before learning the easy way... You just have to jack the rear end off the ground and grease the strut shafts with mobil 1 synthetic grease ...

Sound is louder for sure. If you go equal length headers, you'll loose the boxer sound. It will sound more race car/raspyish. http://mrtperformance.com.au/ I've never heard a suby with equal length headers in person, but I would think that you should still be able to hear at least a hint of the box...

If you check out this post from another member : http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?t=36878 Unless I'm mistaken on the connection your trying to make, he shows the radiator hose he used and what he cut out to make this connection. As is later pointed out in the thread, radiator hose isn't a ...

ugh, just when you think hummer's can't get any uglier.... That rolls royce front end conversion looks horrid, yet another example of having exponentially more money than brains....

Hmmm, or another idea thats probably way more difficult: My car was swapped from an auto to a manual and a cable type clutch went in instead of the hydraulic style clutch. I didn't even think of this till last night when I laid in my 06 intecooler, low and behold it fits great
