EJ207 Owners?

[fastnoypi]

i didnt think much about the vf30's lack of response, I based my opinion with experience on a vf34 which is more or less the same with a roller bearing. my old style pe1820 seems to fit most of your criteria..it hits boost at 4k and doesnt let off till it smacks the redline and is capable of 350whp with good fuel. Some days i wish i didnt pull it off, but im still sorting out my avcs wiring problems that I encountered when i threw on the 35r.

Got some info present and to come for ya dude. I run a dom 2.5r on mine now, and see full boost on pump right at 4k, but I have a ppg helical 1-4...the turbo would be balls with the oe 5spd or a 6 spd. The coming news is tonite I bit the bullet and have my perrin 3076 .82 a/r kit shipping to me next week...I don't auto X, just a weekly drag racer. I am running 93 pump only and am looking for a solid 11 second set up which I think the rotated 3076 will do on 93. I'll post up the results soon after I get it in and on. The dom 2.5r will go up for grabs right after, has about 2500 miles on it at 20-23 psi max. For info purposes, I got a best time of 12.1@115 with the 2.5r so its not a bad turbo at all just not enough lungs for the ver 8 motor at the 1320.

What diff does your four speed come with?

[treystoys]

I had a carbonetics 1.5way put in with the gears. And I upgraded the r160 with a cusco 2 way.

Ticking Update. It was a bent valve. The valve broke, jammed sideways in the head, and hit the piston.

If anyone has a line on a JDM head casting, I'm in the market!

Thanks for all the help and suggestions everyone.

How's the piston? If you're taking the head off, now would be a good time to make sure everything is working good underneath

I'll be very interested with the results you see from the 30r. I had done a little research on blouch's website and sent them a few questions. It looks like they have an option for turning the VF series into an 18g or 20g. Might be interesting....

Piston's pretty sore. Got hit hard!

The motor is completely apart and I'm going to replace/upgrade all I can.

Depending on how long it's down...and the budget....

So you have a Ver9? Throw some forged slugs in there with a nice cam and some head work/oversized valves if you can.

Not to be envious or anything, but I've told myself I can't do anything like that until my block lets go

Forged bottom end is the plan. Probably Supertech valves and dual springs. Want to go oversized, but cams and headwork is $$$ ! Sponsors Should suit the V9 well.

Bump...any update

Bump...any update

Hey guys sorry, no hard numbers, been pretty hectic working on the car around the holidays and all. The 3076 kit is on, and I fabbed up an atmospheric dump for the wastegate! gotta love the noise! Anyhow, I'm still working on the tune, infact, after I \write this, I'm gonna do a little work on it...lol...2:30am the wife and kids are sleeping, and I'm off work tommorow! My time! Anyways, I'm looking at a log from today, and again, unfinished tune...seeing peak boost of just under 24psi at 4264rpm! thats with a wildly rich spot between 38 and 4200rpm that I'm about to smooth out. And lemme tell you, when this thing comes on, you feel it! Not at all like the 2.5r where peak boost transition was smooth, this thing hits full song, and the car lurches sideways a bit and goes!

Fun stuff, unfortunately, the track is shut down for a few weeks, but I'll get some numbers asap!

later guys

Trey

[treystoys]

Ok pretty close to finishing the tune...got the afrs pretty leveled to around 11:1, rich spot gone before full boost. Hitting right at 24psi at 3900 rpm in 3rd gear! This is the perrin 3076 kit with the newer 3" exhaust housing turbo, and perrins full 3" down pipe modified by me for atmospheric wg dump...this set up is out spooling my blouch 2.5r by a good 3-400rpms!! I did not use the blow through tube that perrin suggested, but went with a Cobb big maf housing instead.

On a scary side note, doing a 4th gear pull a little while ago, didn't log mph, but somewhere after let off, guessing I was in the 130-140 range, I covered a bit more ground than I was used to, the car decides to settle into a super high speed drift! I nearly crapped myself! It settled pretty quick with a bit of counter steer, but who wants to do that at a buck 40!! Not fun...I had what I went for and drove straight home after that...lol

Good luck and keep us posted! Glad you held the drift!

Very interesting that you're getting it to full boost at 3900! And glad you held everything together.

Is this the rotated kit, or the stock turbo replacement kit?

[treystoys]

Thanks guys...its the rotated kit 3076 with the .82 hot side. Motors a ver 8 big port heads. I do have a ppg helical 1-4 tranny, that could be aiding the spool as well. If I get a chance later today, I'll try and pull a log showing spool.

Cant wait to see your track numbers with this new setup ! !

Wow just thought about what it would run if you tuned it for C16

[treystoys]

Lol...that makes two of us about the track numbers!!

Depending on how well it runs on pump at the track, i may do a c16 tune for the times I'm ready to get booted off the track...I like drag racing a lot, so keeping it at or above the 11.5 limit is fine with me. My main goal is having 11s on pump gas with my day to day tune.

We shall see!

ttyl

Trey

[dug-e-fresh]

Good luck! My guess would be mid to low 11s on race and high 11s to low 12s on pump. But it all depends on how aggressive you make the tunes. I look forward to seeing what you do!

Not many of us 2 liters on the board

[ottawarex]

Can't wait to see Trey.

I'll post up info on my V9 EJ207 build when it's done. It's getting rebuilt right now with custom forged pistons, rods, heads... Going to try and push it as far as possible with the VF37.. But I know thats not gonna be the end!

[scby rex]

Im thinking of going from the ej205 straight to the new genesis tomei 2.2 long block. The way their going it should be available in the fall. I know theres some pieced together tomei 2.2s out there. How do you like it?

[treystoys]

Thanks guys...

Doug, The car as it stands minus the 3076 kit, went 12.1@115 on a dominator 2.5r, so I'm thinking my hopes are not unreasonable. Looking only to be "in" the 11s consistantly on 93, I was thinking 11.8ish at around 118 sounds about right on 93. On race gas, I have no clue honestly. Just thinking it'd probably drop me in below the 11.50 area, but since I drive the car daily, and shuttle my kids around in it still, it has to remain practical, so the extra safty items I'd need for the low 11s club will have to be in the future when I can turn the car into a weekend/drag car and have a truck and trailer at my desposal. I actually have a daily driver that remains parked...but who wants do drive another car when the one you put your heart and soul into is so much more fun to be in...lol

Doug...For your 11.9@120 run, what were you running at the time? turbo, boost levels and remaining items and variables that got you there?

Happy new years guys!

Hey, Happy New Year! You did 12.1 at 115 with your Dom 2.5 on 93 pump gas?

[treystoys]

Yes, I've actually never run anything in my car but 93 octane. 12.1@115 with a mid 1.9 60' that was with the 2.5r not sure what the car weighs, but its pretty close to stock weight wise. The only thing I take out are my 2 childs seats, and always hit the track with 1/2 tank of gas.

That 11.9 was a crap run... crappy launch and then all through 4th gear I got knock... honestly, the car probably had more like mid to low 11s @ 123-125ish... and on race, I wasn't even close to maxing it out.

I was running a GT35R @ 27 psi on pump... other than that, 3" exhaust, cams, intake mani, modded stock wrx injectors, UTEC, DTEC, etc, etc.

And yea, I know what you mean... my 4 and 9 year old don't need to be wearing helmets everytime they want me to go super-fast, lol! But, they are most definitely buckeled up The cage will wait... indefinitely.

Happy new years back at ya!!
