It fits like a glove here.

This does not fit like a glove here. You get an 'F'.

he's still waiting on or assembling his dyno...

[Vmiz]

spoke with dynojet today they gave him a tracking # shows its in route,so as soon as it gets here we ll be unpacking that puppy and bolting it in,you guys aren t the only ones waiting trust me,i got stuff i wanna try.

[wrx poser]

w00t and bump for the dyno

This is all very exciting! Can't wait to see the numbers, as well. Also really interested in the torque curve.

from what I've been told the only let down IMHO is the internals weren't changed out....please tell me I'm wrong and that Kienan isn't on cast pistons at least...

You just have to nitpick dont you. We are planning a motor this winter. So how are your cast pistons working for you?

I guess the real trick is pulling it off while keeping the price right.... I mean after all if it's not going to give me that much more awhp or that much quicker spool than say the UR 35r kit... and at it's price point, respectively, then it really comes down to buying it for the looks.... which are hawt non-the-less.... but still. I mean it's not like I'm going to be saving gas or anything...lol.

[Homemade WRX]

well, comparison of different turbos and spools on different systems is like a GC with a STi swap again an STi and STi saying well I can loose 500 lbs and weigh the same as you...but then hey guess what, so can the GC...so the UR35 comment is kinda off point...
and for the price point, if you are buying a twin turbo kit, the mods to get that manifold swapped are pennies on the dollar...
and you're right, this has nothing to do with fuel efficiency, just performance...less lag and cooler air for the motor... less heat soaked piping in the engine bay...
BUT shinny pipes are pretty

[wrx poser]

OMG I think I just saw a compliment

[sumfoo1]

from experience i've noticed twin turbos vs a single turbo capable of putting out the same pressure ratio and hp, the twins tend to be less efficient (more heat in the charge) but spool faster

[Homemade WRX]

the spool depends on the twins, there A/R and trim...obviously but do have the potential for more power based on moving more CFM...hints why I hope he put in forged pistons...get the boost up and get the CFM up!!!
the thermal efficiency is less though as you said...more heat loss through piping and exhaust housings...

tell UPS to hurry up...I wanna see some numbers...we already dyno'ed "our shop's" twin turbo set up...

That's basically what a TT kit does. Adds price, looks AWESOME, performs worse than a nice single.

At least that's what I've observed..

subscribed for dyno numbers. i really wanna see what kind of powerband this thing will have.

[ImprezaRSX]

GF's are great to have on the boards! I LOVE YOU WRXPOSER!!

HomemadeWRX has cast pistons and stock everything else. Don't think that's a relavent comment.

I love the TT setup on big K's car. I love it when people do things themselves. I did my setup myself too. That's why my cars engine bay is sooo ugly!

[ImprezaRSX]

a properly setup sequential design TT setup will give a broader torqe curve. Yes it's very likely to be less efficient. but why not have great daily driveable torque down low and some serious screaming power up top? It IS possible.

The Legacy B4 is an example of a nice (not perfect) TT setup. Mine needs work (designed in 1993) there is a huge valley of death at 4krpm.

subscribage. waiting for numbers! Looks fargin awesome!

Cool, hope it stays that way, is 85 hot over there? That sounds cool, but then again I'm biased living in Cali

I'm curious though, any reason he chose that radiator? I assume the width of the stocker was an issue, but wasn't there anything bigger? I suppose if the ambient temp doesn't hit triple digits you can go with something smaller.

Not everybody understands this though.

if anyone has really looked at the size of the core of the stock radiator, I think they would be suprised with how thin it is. This radiator is over twice as thick and it's half as wide, so really, it should still do pretty well. I wouldn't be too concerned with that radiator.
Our cores aren't anywhere near as big as our end tanks. our radiators are actually pretty pathetic.

they're still holding and I'm still saving my pennies for my engine
I just figured you would have built it ahead of time...


re-read my posts and now feels like asshat

[adam_m_mcinerney]

Hey were you driving the twin on pacific ave. last night around 2pm. I went road tripping down there and thought I might have seen this.

[hondahata]

Subscribed...and it looks awesome. I hope it works out for you as I am sure it will benefit the Suby community. Excuse the doubters, but we have all been down this road with the TT H6 that was supposed to be the all that of Subarus, only to here that guy ripped people off, leaving the car as a museum piece being towed around to little cars shows---like a midget in a carnival. Or the turbo/supercharged rex from a few years ago, with the supposedly super torque curve plus unbelievable top end. As much as I dislike Evo's, there freaks usually run 9's. Looks are one thing, but no more pimp my ride......please.

^^^ BTW that car is for sale on E-Bay now for $35,000 buy it now!!!
