Suggestions wanted RSti hybrid project
Hi all, I have decided to scrap the idea of trying to tubo my phase II RS engine. I decided to do an STI/SOHC RS hybrid.
Here is what I am starting with: STI short block 04 SOHC 2.5RS long block Bare WRX intake manifold Notched coolant cross over to accommodate the extra crank case vent tube. After market wrx down pipe FMIC kit Perfect power SMT6 HKS blow off valve Borla RS header Here is the genral plan: Build up the STI short block Build up the SOHC RS heads Use the wrx intake manifold with TGV delete risers, and possibly mount it backwards for that rally look. (modified for MAP sensor) Use a ported RS throtal body Use 00 style RS power steering pump (top mounted fluid reserve tank) Use RS alternator, and AC pump. Use RS oil pan (possibly modified for turbo oil return) oil pick up, and dipstick tube. Custom up-pipe, to turbo, wrx down pipe to modified aftermarket STI exhaust After market fuel pump Modified WRX fuel injectors After market fuel rail After market oil cooler kit STI oil pump Possibly WRX or STI water pump (for turbo coolant supply) After market RS flywheel, clutch and pressure plate. One day a dog box trans but for now stock RS 5speed running gear. STI short block: Perchesed on ebay. Description stated that it was removed with 10k miles on it. Cylinders showed hone marks but bearings showed massive heat damage. Crank was grooved but not too badly. The plan: Get crank ground, and pick up over sized bearings to accommodate. Build up short block with TWE forged pistons, light weight wrist pins, and possibly stronger rods. Quick question #1; People have been reporting 450+ reliably on stock STI rods. At its max I plan to tune to 500ish horse power. Is it just a waste of money for after market rods? I like piece of mind as much as the next guy but I don’t know about $500+ for after markets. Heads: Stock roller 2.5RS SOHC heads, removed from an 04 2.5RS long block with 62K miles. Heads look great, very little wear, no signs of abuse. The plan: Port out the castings to gasket exhaust and intake diameters. TWE stage II cams TWE springs and titanium retainers Quick question #2; Should I go for better valves? What ones are recommended? Turbo: This is still up in the air. Dead bold recommended TD06 super 16G, clipped and ported. I want something that will spool up quick but I don’t like the idea of it weezing by 5K RPM. I also want something that I can hit the 450HP mark with. Quick question #3; turbo recommendations. Fuel system: This is all up in the air. Quick question #4; What size injectors will I want to run with a smt6? Quick question #5; What fuel pump should I go with? Quick question #6; What type of fuel regulator should I run?

Progress:
The hard decision has been made... what color to powder coat every thing. The heads will be mirror chrome with high temp silver around the exhaust ports. The block and most of the brackets will be Mirror chrome. Other smaller brackets, coolant pipes, and dipstick tube will be black. The valve covers, intake manifold, throttle body, alternator, pulleys, and oil pan will be candy blue. The block, and heads have been totally stripped. Work will start on the heads shortly, and I will get started on the powder coating (out of work so free stuff first) |

I run www.smallbatchcoatings.com It started off because I got sick of powder coating shops in my area charging me an arm and a leg because I didn’t have big batch quantities. I made the decision to invest in some good equipment (none of that home coating kits and conventional oven crap) and people have been hitting me up to do some of there stuff ever since. I figured at the point where all my friends told all there friends about me, that I should just start doing it as a business on the side. My heads are currently totally stripped down. What I am going to do is glass bead blast the entire head, mask off the sealing surfaces, coat, and bake. This was one of the main reasons I went out and found an extra motor to build slowly. That’s what I was told. Apparently the intake ports on the sohc and dohc heads are in the same place except for the sti ones. Apparently the sti ones are set farther apart. We will see! |
