There has been some mixed results with the blast plates, some people have had no issues installing them and some have had to clearance slightly, even if they seem to have the exact same setup. It could be because there is quite a bit of play in the motor mount bolt holes and the trans cross member. Maybe some guys had the motor more towards one side than others? Maybe some of the sheet metal there is not exact from car to car because its normally not a critical area? Hard to say but a few taps with a ball peen hammer seems to be a quick fix and not remove any paint.

I can say that my Forester has plenty of room for them due to the trans and engine being about 1.5" lower in the chassis than the impreza.

Cool deal. Yeah. I need to get my mounts in along with the bushings

haha - emailed! with good news! Good to hear about the auto-x monster! No prob. on the fuel rails - we can do a set of our off-the shelf rails, or we can do custom rail lengths since we tap the end and injector fittings in-house.

how can I turn that into a or better yet ???

Gas tank removal is nooooo fun! There's a check valve on top of them that sometimes goes bad - manual says pull the tank. Uhhhh...I'd rather leave it unchecked

We are working on better directions for the Blast Plates now, but one important point is that the upper-most m10 bolt head should be facing the passenger side. You can also ensure that both the transmission cross brace and the motor mounts are zero'd out, as they both allow for adjustment. PM if you have any specific fitment questions, or shoot over a call!

Thanks goodness!

Yes have 8 mm spacers, running a crazy ported stock intake but cosworth in the future soon

And yeah 40-50 pound weight savings by using 10 gallon fuel cell and no more gas tank!!

[stretchedk7]

You guys making any headway on project mount Godzilla!?

Paypal is ready to be friendly with you whenever . Just lmk

[AMG08]

Any news on the blast plates?

[chudlo]

Are the downpipes ready to ship yet?

Your set is heading out this week! We have a bunch going out; We're just waiting for a few more sets to finish off those that have paid up!

50 pounds is a good bit off of one of these oinkers. Good to know on the spacers - this will help wit the fab up.

I'm still trying to muster the strength to lift this thing! lol But we've had that beast in the engine bay several times already. If you could somehow eliminate the entire right hand strut tower....in the words of Lumbergh...that would be greaaaaaat j/k

A bunch of downpipes are going out this week - I'm hoping to have yours coated up to get it out this week. If, not, it would be early next week.

[SuaveCougarBait]

Perfect. Thanks for the heads up. I'm getting pumped get the new driveline an suspension in and roll my rear quarters and squeeze these 17x9 CR-Kai's in there w fresh 255/40 star specs. I honestly have done a bit more this winter so far than I thought

Cr-Kai's! AWESOME!! Where did you score those??

Honestly caught them by word of mouth about 2hrs from my driveway with new rubber and 1k miles on them. Haha.

[02subaruwrxnc]

CR-Kai's in 18x8.5 are what I have on the STI. They came with it, fortunately. I am not sure I would spring for a set of these new.

Awesome looking wheels and lighter than the factory BBS 17s even though the wheel is bigger.

Enjoy!

[SuaveCougarBait]

Defiantly will.

[Moore Performance]

^^^ Definitely one of my favorite wheels! Work just knows what's up. ^^^



Here's an update of what we've been up to over the past 18 or so hours:



We've gotten enough feedback from various BlastPlate patrons to do some further in-house investigation on trans tunnel clearance. We don't want people beating their trans tunnels if it can be avoided; hence the revision machine is in full swing!

We gathered up 3 different chassis and threw them on the lift (not all at once of course- that's something that Blaine would attempt) - two cleared fine, one needed massaged enough that we felt it was time to CAD up, then tool up. Yes, these are all a *little* different from chassis-to-chassis within a code (surprisingly different in early 02 GD bugeye with weak trans, to later bugeye with better trans), and even more different from code-to-code; this change will just help ensure better overall clearance no matter which code you may have.

When we originally learned of some tunnel massaging, we traced down one particular case of the threaded end of the bolt hitting. We didn't have access to the car to align the trans mount/motor, but had decent photos showing the potential issue. The solution was to flip the bolt around, plus a "clearanced" bolt head that still allows full torque-up:



This is the revised bolt that will now go out to further esnure that Blast Plates will cooperate your particular chassis! And of course the bolt will be machined down to work correctly with the revised area.

For customers that have paid for BlastPlates in this group buy and are still waiting for them to arrive:

We will send you the revised plate, UNLESS you are in a big hurry, or just like the thought of Mjolnir'ing your trans tunnel sounds therapeutic - in this case your plates will ship this week, as long as you PM US ASAP STATING THAT YOU WANT AN UN-REVISED SET!

For customers that have already received their BlastPlates:

If you haven't installed your BlastPlates and would rather have the revised design, PLEASE RETURN ONLY THE DRIVER'S SIDE PLATE (the one with the upright facing to the right) to us. We will modify it, re-powdercoat it, and send it back to you. This free service is open to anybody that has purchased BlastPlates, so if your transmission has to come out and you want the revised plate, just send it back!

For customers that are on the group buy list but haven't paid yet:

PAY UP! hehe


Thanks all for your patience. We're working crazy, drug mule hours to ensure that we provide you the best possible part for your money. If you are on the group buy and have any special needs or requests, please don't hesitate to call or PM us - we're here for you!

thanks

Do u guys have a completed pic of uppipe with header/uppipe flange and the twin wastegate v band flanges welded on?

Kinda interested in a t4 twinscroll uppipe.

[shadowpr]

can't believe people still haven't paid.... crazy

[SuaveCougarBait]

Just wondering since this revision, I know you said my plates were about to ship the other day...my car is a 2007 WRX. You had mentioned some have more room than others ans such..guess i'm wondering if they had shipped yet or if your were shipping me the revised set or if I would need the revision to clear.

Thanks a ton!

[stretchedk7]

You guys have any pics yet!! I can't wait. Motor is just about done!! This will be last parts I need

Thanks for the interest. We don't have any great pics of the entire rig unfortunately; just some stuffed in engine bays

It's understandable. People change their minds. This makes it tough to decide between taking deposits and just getting full payment later on in the production process; if you take deposits, then you have to refund them if the people don't follow through with the rest of the payment. if you wait to collect, then you can end up with a lot of people that back out, yet you still have to base your production #'s on the signed up count. Tricky.

We're going ahead with the revision just to make sure every chassis (that we know of) is compatible.

We've been a little buried with Blast Plate revision work, but we've been fooling with yours. Verdict (for fitment reasons) : 1.75" to 2"

[stretchedk7]

if you mean 2 inch on the piping thats what i thought we were going with anyway. theres nothing wrong with that.

And yeah i see ^ you guys are kinda wrapped up with the blast plate stuff. Ill be ok i can wait.

[stretchedk7]

have you guys ever driven a subaru without power steering?? just wondering how bad it is and if its bearable

[stretchedk7]

Moore Performance-im getting ready to order wastegates- tial 44's right?

it's all good on the BlastPlate front now! No worries! And what I meant was 1.75" primaries with 2" secondaries/up-pipe. This is better

It depends what kind of meats are on there. Shop fozzy has a manual made by fully converting a power rack; it's a bit of a beast! I think they're bearable if you don't have like 295 Hoosier's or something, you don't parallel park on the regular and don't really worry about quick transitions. have to do it the right way though; no p.s. line looping and what not.

YES

[stretchedk7]

sweeet on the wastegates.

ehh i run like 265's. i guess ill keep the power steering for now.

sweet on header and up pipe. hopefully it flows enough for huge power but it should help with the spool for sure . we shall see. im super excited.

[mighty mouse miata]

downpipe ETA?
