Finally Pulling the trigger on a rotated setup... help me fill in the holes.

[g3ninfinite]

Ok so I've finally decided on a route and I'm moving forward...

Car is an 07 sti

Harman Motive gt30r.76 with .82 hotside.

Harman Motive CAI

APS DR525 FMIC

Deatschwerks 850cc injectors

Prodrive BCS

1step Colder plugs

Walbro 255 FP

Cobb Catback

Grimmspeed crossover

Grimmspeed phelonic spacers.

* stock exhaust manifold, cross over, UP, DP and turbo will be coated... not sure which company yet..

I am also looking at the ACT HDSS clutch and their flywheel.


shortblock will be done around tax season.

am i missing anything?

Which EM are you going with?

Have you considered a boost controller like the DTEC instead of the Prodrive manual.

[squashman]

Nice mod list, looks good.

Why do your block on a 30R? If you get a really good tune, you shouldn't have to worry about the bottom end. But, if you do end up building your block like you said, I'd consider upping the ante on the turbo and going for more power - you'll have the built bottom end to back it up .

[kyleblix]

finally? you drive an 07
best of luck though, oh and alky is never a bad idea

[g3ninfinite]

i have a COBB AP v2

was going to build the bottom just incase i decide to up the ante.... but well see.... im trying to hunt down a 97 jdm CTR as well.

[g3ninfinite]

what do you guys think about motor and tranny mounts for this turbo's power output?

[lev98]

ewg ? other than that looks great.

[g3ninfinite]

the HM kit is EWG and plumbed back into the dp.



pretty trick... reminds me of crucial racing's divorced wastegate dp.

[wrxcelration]

def a sick lookin setup...i cant tell by the pic but if your upping the ante get a 44mm ewg

[MGAMAN]

Their kit includes a 44mm wastegate; its a pretty well thought out kit an a good price for whats included. I also love that they route the EWG dump pipe back into downpipe.

SOOO sick

And new mounts are never a bad idea unless you don't like the added cabin noise..whichhhhhh with this setup, I don't think any noise is a problem lol. ~400+HP and your motor is going to do a bit of moving around

gl with the setup, love to see it when its done

[g3ninfinite]

thanks... should be done by mid jan at the latest... at which time you can head out to an XXX meet to check it out.

[4ST-AIR]

+1 for plumbing it back in.

Again who is building the block??? Or what are having done?

Thats the worst statement I have seen in long time. Tuners don't have control over how it is driven or poor OEM parts.

There is no question who should coat them Swaintech FTW!!

Your missing TGV's Deleted.

Im my case I FINALLY got an engine thats not a POS.

[g3ninfinite]

swaintech is on my list. I sent them out an email in regards to time frame, Im just waiting to hear back form them. TGV deletes I may or may not do... This is a streetcar first and foremost. *might see the track 2-3 times a year.*

as far as the motor is concerned I will probably buy a pre-fab'd shortblock or perhaps longblock if finances work out. we shall see. I'd like to see my stock block hold up for 15-20k on the low end.

Your wasting your money if you don't delete the TGV's and drop in that setup you won't be able to flow freely enough to make use of that turbo. Mines a daily driver as well.

Check out AXIS Power Racing for a built block combo.

Dan Swain is a great guy to work with. They have a 2 week turn around time. They did my DP and my CP forged pistons.

[michaelc]

Approximately how much does it cost to get all that stuff coated?

Easiest measuring is $35 ft. Not alot of help on the turbo but thats basically all they tell you.

I dont have my TGV's deleted and i make just as much power a others with similar setups and them deleted.. I think it might help a little bit at this HP level, but once you start getting into the 500+whp that's where i think it'll make a decent difference. When they're deleted cold starts aresometimes hard and dont like to run for the first min. or so, i didnt wanna deal with that so that's why i left mine in and my car is plenty fast ..

Nice quad post

I know what you're saying and agree with you 100%. But don't be so narrow-minded. A nice juicy detonation on your fancy Axis block because of a crappy tune will still wreak havoc.

A good tune on GT30R power levels 'should' be fine on the stock block unless the unforseen happens. Your block may have a bit more resistance, but end result will likely be the same.

OP, don't take mine or 4ST-AIR's word for it, call the vendors and tuners! I did.

Boo. TGVs are not 100% needed. Like I said, 470whp Meth on a low reading Mustang. My baby loves to start in the cold as well >

For the Record
My tuner shop is the one building my setup And they are also the ones that suggested the AXIS setup
