?!?!?!?!?!?!?

HamFist · 06-17-2004, 04:15 PM

I really hope he has an intercooler burined in there somewhere.....nice looking, though....

benjaminetanyahoo · 06-17-2004, 04:28 PM

Wow and to think that we have enough problems just turbo charging the beast

Hitokiri · 06-17-2004, 04:28 PM

seriously... or water injection or something!

no-coast-punk · 06-17-2004, 09:47 PM

sliideways you should see if you can coax contact info out of this guy and PM it to me, I would love to pick his brain.

subiekid · 06-17-2004, 10:51 PM

kinda on the lines of why? yea its cool because its never been done, but it seems like you could get better/ more reliable hp out of either a turbo or a super, not both. I bet he does not have to worry about lag

Wedge · 06-17-2004, 11:54 PM

That car is DEFINITELY not here in Miami.

GottaREX · 06-18-2004, 12:01 AM

wow

, but couldn't they have figured our a way to make those pipes shorter rather than going all over the engine bay? I mean why don't they fabricate a higher hood?

HOK · 06-18-2004, 12:59 AM

this car has never been on this forum???

boysetsfire · 06-18-2004, 01:04 AM

That is Forced Air Technologies Sti isnt it? It was posted on here maybe 2-3 weeks.

subiekid · 06-18-2004, 01:26 AM

the pipes looked like FAT, i kinda thought it was one of their kits, just moded to be like this.

HOK · 06-18-2004, 01:32 AM

how much is said kit... thats crazy...

kastle · 06-18-2004, 11:38 AM

It was covered in General... I'll see if I can find the post...

bseeling · 06-18-2004, 12:30 PM

wonder what kind of HP numbers they are getting with that set up?

HOK · 06-18-2004, 12:40 PM

Thanks for the link! very interesting...

but it shouldn't be too hard to add a A/W IC right? I should think it will make more power then stock like that guy said even without an IC.

An A/A IC looks fairly easy. where the pipe is going by the ps res, exits the engine compartment, comes back in on opposite side after passing through the front mount. Eliminates that tube across the front of the engine.

kastle · 06-18-2004, 04:52 PM

There will be a FMIC in that setup, the problem was the core Robert had gotten was 2.5" thick, needed to be 2" thick... so he made due as it was...

subiekid · 06-18-2004, 07:57 PM

i guess that would be better then twin turbo with a small turbo.

subijitsu · 06-18-2004, 09:27 PM

That is cool. I have always wondered how that would work.

HOK · 06-18-2004, 09:38 PM

does this really hav the best of both worlds? how much testing do you think they are going to do kastle?

Robert has been running on that setup for a few weeks now... I know he's looking for a new core for the FMIC. The STi is pretty much his daily driver, so he's doing a lot of testing...

I know Robert wants to do a dyno run with the FMIC in place... well before it's offered to the public...

I got a ride in that twin charged STI today. Holy crap that thing is fast. Put a smile on my face all day.

Wedge · 06-19-2004, 05:00 PM

What makes you think that?

Blown up gears have we?

I'm running close to 300hp/300tq to the WHEELS, on my STOCK RS tranny. ALL the gears and syncros are perfect!

Let me say it again, its all in the way you shift. People need to learn how to shift and stop making excuses on weak Subaru gears. I'm certain the STi gears can handle that kind of power.

(Yes, I also am well aware that gears have a torque limitation to them as well)
