It's not a STI, it's a Hybrid WRX. That guy is a friend of mine.

"A rule of thumb is one heat range colder for every 75***150;-100hp you increase"
He doesn't NEED them but it wouldn't hurt either. I basically have same mods in my 02 wrx although I only have on a Evo III 16G and I would highly recommend the valve body upgrade as well. Had mine done through IPT, lil pricey but worth it(around $580 after shipping). Your trans will thank you and your shifts will be quicker and less sloppy feeling. I actually got a hold of another valve body to send out to help minimize down time. I skipped doing the high-stall torque converter cause 1, I don't brake boost my car and 2, it can be annoying at highway cruise speeds, eats up your gas mileage too. What your list is missing though is a tranny cooler, you are REALLY going to want one of these to help keep that tranny cold, as well as synthetic oil when fill the trans back up. And also, be prepared for your radiator to possible go up as well shortly after this, the stock radiator doesn't last too long at times dealing with all that heat, they are notorious for cracking at the top section where they are just plastic. And when it does, most aftermarket radiators don't have a tranny cooler built into them like our stock ones do, but that wont be an issue cause you'll already have an aftermarket tranny cooler Wouldn't hurt to get a tranny temp gauge too while you're at it... I'm making 288whp & 255wtq @ 19psi on 93 oct gas, I have no doubt you could make 330'swhp with an 18g plus meth, depending how high you're willing to run the psi.

Sure thing, biggest one I could fit was the B&M 70268 Tranny Cooler, runs plenty cold by itself, as I'm running an aftermarket radiator. Although tranny takes a good bit longer to reach temp, especially in winter, ha.

Nothing that is concerning, it's just the stock radiator usually helps heat up the tranny fluid as well, since the stock tranny cooler is inside of it. Since I'm running an aftermarket radiator, my tranny just has to heat up itself, in addition to the extra cooling it gets from it's own aftermarket cooler. No biggie, just don't hit it hard until I'm within range, no negatives really. Just helps to have a temp gauge for that reason

Not sure about the 4eat but I run a 7cm on my ej205 to keep spool, I would guess I give up about 10 to 15 wtq when boost hits and maybe 10 hp up top. I guess the real question is if you ever plan on a larger motor down the road, then I would get a 8 cm for sure. I dont taper boost at all at 20 psi.

I bought a STRI oil temp gauge. Lil pricey but still cheaper then Defis. Usually I'm falling within 140-160F, although I haven't had the gauge hooked up to see what it runs in the hot weather yet. Gauge goes from like 140-300 I think, may be alil on the high side for tranny oil but it work, think its more for engine oil.
And honestly don't even know if my 16g has a 7cm or 8cm, ha. |

did you mount your tranny cooler between the grill and radiator? Was their any fitment issues with the 70268 tranny cooler? i have an 05 WRX fit ment should be the same on my car as yours i believe.

No fitment issue at all, I didn't do it between the A/C condenser and the radiator though because I didn't like it rubbing between the two. I mounted it sideways, right infront on the driver's side so it's real close to the return lines. It was too big to fit up or down so sideways it was, no biggie. I just made sure to have the hot side on the top to help it flow easier. Prolly doesn't really make a difference though. The cooler came with heavy duty zip ties too plus mounting brackets, so you have plenty of options for ways to mount it.

I just finished my setup and it is basically the same as yours with the 16g xt rather then the 18. It will be pro tuned and dyno ran in june. While I wait I will be working on my ej207 build, cant wait for that

Got all my parts in going the 19th of this month to get everything installed and tuned. I will post up dyno sheet once it's all completed.

Very nice, yeah those numbers are pretty much what I was thinking you'd land and no doubt meth would take you that much farther. What PSI is this tuned at? You literally nearly doubled your hp & tq so I'm sure this car feels massively different to you, ha. Should be fun!
Btw, you may want to just remove the receipt picture with your personal billing info and such. Just an idea, being how some people are on here at times Also, you notice a big difference with the IPT shift kit on the valve body? Some tend to more then others, just curious on your thoughts on it.... |
