You will! It's a lot of fun

Never understand why people think the stock WRX internals will hold a 1.5xt-r. Just never saw the rationale. I would love to do a setup like this, but I think I'm only brave enough to go 18g or 20g tops on the stock block. Either that or go e85 or water/meth injection with the VF43 and see what we could get out of that. Too many options.

E85 and your vf43 would be your best bang for your buck.

I believe a conservative tune on a Dom1.5 is easier on the motor/tranny than a cranked up VF tune. You make the same torque, but hold it further out toward redline. Makes good power without shocking anything too terribly.
Just don't get greedy.

blazzin06wrxdude · 02-14-2013, 12:01 AM

In for update's as your running a similar setup as I. I'm currently in the process of having a fmic fabbed and getting retuned to see how the 2.5xtr responds. Happy to hear you went with Andrewtech for the build! I can't say enough about what a great shop Andrewtech truly is! I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

this was my logic at the time of purchase. i knew full well the block couldnt handle the full potential, but until it blew up i figured it would be a superior setup to the typical VF. too bad it didint last long...

fast forward to now, where it is being rebuilt, and i will finally be able to utilize this turbo to its full potential on pump gas

ha thats why i made the 5 hr drive each way! there are VERY few people who i let touch my car, andrewtech being one of them. they built my transmission when it blew up on mach v's dyno, and have stood by their work. Great guys, great work, great customer service. I would have loved to build this myself, but i did not have the time or resources. I am both excited and honored to say i have an andrewtech built block and tranny!

07VTRex · 02-21-2013, 03:27 PM

Just got some progress pictures today from andrewtech! very excited, as the end is near!!!

To anyone interested or following this thread, hope is just around the bend. there needs to be more real world data on this turbo, and i shall do my part to deliver.

stay tuned for updates!

blazzin06wrxdude · 02-21-2013, 08:28 PM

What are the build specs if you don't mind sharing? Andrew and the team have taken amazing care of me over the years. I didn't go with them for my recent motor build, but had circumstances been different, I would have in a heart beat! You will be incredibly pleased I'm sure!

My motor build specs:

- Stock heads (d25)
- 06 Wrx Long block (original from car 55,000 miles on it)
- Cosworth 99.75 mm pistons
- Eagle rods
- Oem WRX Crank
- Oem bearings
- Oem head gaskets
- Gates racing timing belt kit
- TGV deletes
- emmisions air pump delete
- DW 850cc injectors
- Walbro 285lph fuel pump.
- 11mm STI oil pump (clearance's opened for increased oil volume) hot idle: ~ 30 psi. Above 3,500 rpm hot: ~90 psi
- Oem exhaust manifold
- Tail 38mm external wastegate, v-band uppipe, and dump
- Invidia catless dp (wrapped)
- Mishimoto giant x line rad.
- Custom Agile Auto FMIC (In the works now)
- Custom Agile Auto race exhaust
- Custom Agile Auto CAI (being fabbed with fmic)
- Killer B oil pickup
- Cosworth oil control baffle
- Stock oil pan.

Just curious how similar our builds are and interested to see how my 2.5xtr will compare to your 1.5 xtr once pushed to similar levels. I should have my car back by April to share my results after going fmic and retune on pump for now.

Klear · 02-26-2013, 07:17 AM

My V7STI Bugeye swap with a Dom 1.5XTR, EBCS, CAI, catless exhaust put down 360WHP on a conservative 19 PSI tune on E85 and 320 WHP on 91 octane.

shadowmd · 02-26-2013, 08:50 PM

Andrewtech put my hybrid together as well. New ej257 short block with weisco 99.5mm piston, nitride crank and stock 2.0 heads. Then later I installed a Dom 1.5xtr 10cm made 367whp and 363wtq on 93oct at IAG on 21psi. You will really like your setup!

blazzin06wrxdude · 04-28-2013, 10:13 AM

Any updates? Bump

07VTRex · 04-29-2013, 11:05 AM

Motor is built. Currently working with jermaine on the finishing touches to the tune. Been difficult with being out if town with work. Will have something soon.

jacks-GTB · 05-03-2013, 10:07 PM

nice mods

the dom 1.5 is a great turbo

SnowBRDGod247 · 05-13-2013, 11:45 PM

I'd love to see some of the newer results too! I have a v7 ej207 currently running the blouch 18gxt @ 21-22 psi it is lots of fun... Considering upgrading to the 1.5xtr As well to get over 350...

1slow05WRXSTi · 05-14-2013, 12:47 AM

Your gonna love the Dom 1.5 with the built motor. My car was one of TopSpeed's first test mule and I made 408/429 on E85 with a stock 2.5 and stock TMIC with a conservative 23psi tune. We are almost finished with my new motor (the old one finally broke a piston with 125k miles) and now we are gonna really push the Dom 1.5. We are hoping to break 460hp on E85. Possibly even more than that.
