6/08/06 car is running strong

6/21/07 perrin injectors swapped out for pe 850's

8/23/07 dynoed 350 whp 384 tq on a mustang

8/25/07 went to the shootout
The 06 Sti was purchased on may of 2006 to replace my 500 whp srt-4. You may ask yourself why would anyone do that but one 3k rpm launch on one and one 6k rpm launch on the other will answer this question. I bought my car to mod the hell out of it not for warranty. My plans are to begin to do some serious work to it around spring of 07. in july of 2006 i did my 1st mod, which was an SPT Catback in September of 2006 i decided to go with an External Wastegate Setup with an HKS 3 Downpipe, the Downpipe used a flat flange and the SPT Exhaust used a donut so i had to get rid of the SPT and installed a custom 3" straight pipe. with this set up the car went 13.1 @103 mph consistently the 1st time me ever going down the track with this car. Towards the winter the noise from the ewg and exhaust became annoying so i went back to stock. in January i got the bug again, needed to do some modding that will later be able to utilize with my future setup, So I installed a 3" Catback ( this time with a resonator) My hks, downpipe back on and reflashed the car with my custom stage 2 map. Car feels very good for now. My frontmount arrives tommorow so stay tuned!!!!!



my 1/4 miles are 13.1 @103mph on 15 psi with just an exhaust



UPDATE: NEW MODS

3" Catback
Hks Downpipe

front mount looks beautiful ray

[CarbonIS]

looks awesome ray. what fmic is that? how does it fir with the stock bumper?

[Vypurr]

Its the SSAutochrome. The bumper requires a good ammount of cutting, but nothing that you can see once the FMIC is on!

[Jokiesmurf]

I like the front mount. Thats something diffrent.

[ray@turbotek]

thanks gmito call me tomorrow

[SUB2.5RS]

HOLY CRAP RAY. that thing looks nice. I wish I could of been there for it.

How come the EVO gets no love?? I bet it is still faster then the STY:)

[Munky]

BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Everyone knows the neon was faster!

[ray@turbotek]

How come the EVO gets no love?? I bet it is still faster then the STY:)

alright as soon as we are done the trans on your supra, we can put a front mount on my evo!!!!

[C'DALERIDER]

No, get the fp green asap. leave the EVO alone!
Looks realy nice. Cant beat the price. Any size FMIC is gona be better than a TMIC getting heat soaked, IMO!!

[wrxbert]

very nice!! can't wait to get that top mount from you!

[Vypurr]

Ray!!! I told you not to sell anything! Didn't you learn your lesson last time?

[ray@turbotek]

Ray!!! I told you not to sell anything! Didn't you learn your lesson last time?
hahahahahahahahah

will i think warranty is over for me anyway, so i sold it

[wrxbert]

car looks even better in person!!

[ray@turbotek]

my car is going to be a meth addict , just ordered my kit!!!!!!!!!!!



i may need rehab after a few months

[wrxbert]

:rotfl:

[ray@turbotek]

1 more day for meth retune and track!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aspen_rex]

what meth kit?

[ray@turbotek]

cooling mist kit, i have installed them in the past on customers cars and they are great kits. more info on my forum section

[ray@turbotek]

so i lost to my wife again in the evo!!!!!!!!! i was running my old map, i built a new map and flashed the sti with it, lets see who wins this time!!!!!!! hopefully the weather clears up and we can try this again today before i install the methanol kit.

[peteyturbo]

flippin sweet

[012.5RS]

lookin good ray, now all you gotta do is stop losin to your wife. :)

[ray@turbotek]

Well today i finally installed my meth kit on the car , took me a little longer than expected but the install is very clean, since i did a custom install radther than the way most people set it up.

1st i used the stock intercooler sprayer tank

the vacum line that normally was used to bring the intercooler water from the rear of the car to the front is now my vacum source for the boost preassure sensor. makes it clean and factory looking.

next i pulled the stock ic sprayer switch out and wired it so there is constant 12v going to the trunk i used this to run power to the pump when the boost switch sees a certain psi it injects the meth. at the same time when the tank is almost empty the stock intercooler sprayer light comes on on the dash telling me to add more methanol/water. i also wired an led to the pump and ran the wire to the front of the car and installed it on the empty switch cover. when the system is injecting it blinks letting me know everything is working 100%.


here are some pics. since we sell the kit im in the proccess of doing a how to on my vendor section for the sti.

[ray@turbotek]

car feels amazing!!!!!! also the pipe right before the throttle body now feels like its been in the freezer. i will reflash the car in the next few days with more aggressive timing and of course more boost

[SUB2.5RS]

I went for a ride in this thing today and its a completly diffrent car. This thing pulls harder than I ever felt it. My lip dragged down a little bit when he nailed it and I think I might have drooled a bit.

[GottalovetheWagon]

thirsty much??? i gave ray a hand in logging data tonight with the more aggressive tune and filled with meth its insane right now!!! 12's at the track?i going with a yes!!

oo yeah dont be suprized if your behind him and your eyes start to tear from the meth fumes

[ray@turbotek]

update!!!! i can finally say im in love with my car!!!!!! finished tuning last night seeing about 19.5 psi and 11.5 afrs. i do have room for more boost if i richened it out but im maxing out the stock bcs :( as soon as i have some extra funds ill do the gm solenoid.

[Buster]

so when can i get my hands on your turbo? :) How does the kit work and what happens when it runs out?

[ray@turbotek]

so far i filled up the tank 4 days ago and the tank is still almost full. i get a warning on the dash when my stock tank is almost empty , on top of that there is a fail safe which lets you know when the nozzles are clogged, water is spraying or nothing coming out. for another 50 buck i just ordered a boost control sylenoid which only works when the system detects water being injected. if water stops flowing it pulls boost back.

[Buster]

So there is no drawbacks to running when the tank goes empty? Im really not sure how this works ray lol. very confusing to me. would it be worth it on my stock turbo or would we be assuming correctly that me running with Ap and MBC set at 17 ive pretty much maxed myself out?

[Dave]

looks like a good, complete system

[Buster]

Thanks for the rundown ray.

[ray@turbotek]

Thanks for the rundown ray.

hahahaha no problem keith

[ray@turbotek]

update car has been sitting for over 1 week, the gas tank is empty and i dont feel like going to the gas station to fill it up.

[ray@turbotek]

Update, Just finished porting the VF39 last night, so bye bye boost creep hello faster spool up and ?? psi. The wastegate was ported and the exhaust side. installed a mbc to help with quicker spool up and a cobb tuning intake. car feels really freaking strong. ill be tuning tonight so i will post up results tommorow. ill also post up some pics

[C'DALERIDER]

Very good ideas/mods. Nice job.

[Vypurr]

Oh no...a 3rd RA-R grille! lol

[ray@turbotek]

Oh no...a 3rd RA-R grille! lol

yeah carbon is is doing mine

[ray@turbotek]

Very good ideas/mods. Nice job.

yep , you should come by the house tonight after your done cycling. also hope to see 11's soon on this vf39

[ray@turbotek]

also should i dewing?

[C'DALERIDER]

IDK, i like it with and without the wing. Some folks do however say its a pretty big speed restriction at high speed.

[CHAOS]

the sti wing creates roughly 80-90 lbs of downforce at around 80 mph... its functional... leave it on there. please do not get on the "HEY LOOK IM WINGLESS" bandwagon

[ray@turbotek]

cool thanks ill leave it there then

[BluMeanie]

Can you beat your wife yet? lol! jk Ray

[ray@turbotek]

Can you beat your wife yet? lol! jk Ray

probbably not lol!!!! we should be ready to go at it again in a few days. my car deffinatley feels stronger than hers for once. thats till she gets her fmic and cams :(

[ray@turbotek]

another update, the ported turbo is awsome, absolutley no boost creep if i set it at 20 psi it goes 20 psi from 2n gear all the way through 5th with out going over. of course it tapers down around redline. from a roll it never goes over my desired psi in any gear. and the best part is that there is no LAGggGGGGGGGg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Vypurr]

On my way over!

[ray@turbotek]

On my way over!

Will lets get together tommorow

[ray@turbotek]

Many people run helper springs to keep the gate closed longer but have the issue with the heat from the turbo screwing up the spring. well recently i ported the wastegate in the turbo exhaust housing to get rid of the boost creep on my sti. i only ported the inside as per another how to. i went a little too aggresive with the port to make sure there was no creep and when i put everything back together the car will not reach the target boost, and actually looking back now im glad did.

my theory- porting too much on the inside was blowing the wastegate opened i guess from more exhaust flow to the gate.

I removed the wastegate from the car and put the arm on a vice made sure it was tight. i used a rubber mallot to bang down the arm so that it bend the arm a little shorter. with about 3 bangs i shortened the gate about 1mm or so. installed it back in the car and notice how much tighter it was with that slight bend. went for a ride and man the car feels amazing, had to do some fine tuning to fuel and boost maps but it feels amazing. it even holds boost a bit more boost at higher rpms. i figured id post this , im sure im not the only one has done this but i havent seen anything on here but the helper spring mod.

car i running 20psi
tapers to about 17.5
car hits 20 psi regardless of the gear im in except 1st and 2nd and does not go over that, wether from a roll or a dig. i also still have alot of fuel left so i will be leaining the car a bit more and upping the boost to 21.5 psi

[ray@turbotek]

RA-R Look alike grill was just done by bill aka carbonis car looks amazing but ttiwwop because my cammera broke. this car is officially in need of the prodrive ra-r wheels like these now!!!

awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry ray, but 20+ psi is a bit silly on the stock turbo. its hotter, thats about it.

[ray@turbotek]

sorry ray, but 20+ psi is a bit silly on the stock turbo. its hotter, thats about it.
hmmmmm we will see on the dyno and at the track ray says 20 is good

[teh DIRT]

20psi is fine. Its like the limit.

It is above the effeciency range but I still bet it helps push out more power.

[C'DALERIDER]

I was pretty sure she was still. I dont think im going to be ready in time though. Moneys tight and I have to finish the tattoo this week so i dunno. Unless theres some miraculous way for me to come up with some extra bills, and gaskets im gonna have to wait.

[ray@turbotek]

looks awsome will also when i get back from the shore we can tune ur ride

[ray@turbotek]

well finally last night i had a lil time to get things rolling, the stock turbo and injectors are out and new injectors are in, hopefully i have some time to finish tonight.

[Jourdan]

20g. sweeet.

[ray@turbotek]

im only a downpipe and fuel pump install away from firing this thing up....

[ray@turbotek]

well i decided to teak some of the intercooler piping and bumper. so now all i have left to do is install the dp.

[ray@turbotek]

it has now been almost 2 weeks since i drove the thing and about 1 week since the turbo has been in it but of course i had no time to tune this thing, my plans were to use memorial day to tune the car. well memorial day finally came, and im in the garage getting ready to tune the car and guess what i find? my wideband is broken. now the car sits in the same spot it has been, and i cant do **** with it till i get a new wideband. horray for innovates lc1

[CarbonIS]

ugh that suckss ray sorry to hear that! good luck with the tune!

[ray@turbotek]

ugh that suckss ray sorry to hear that! good luck with the tune!

thanks bil at first i didnt mind having my car down, but now im getting antsy, i want to drive it soooo badd

[CarbonIS]

i can imagine! I'm gonna hate mine being down tonight for a few hours...

[HuffRex]

i'll see if anyone around here has a wideband i can borrow ray

[ray@turbotek]

i'll see if anyone around here has a wideband i can borrow ray

thanks huff, im actually getting ready to call innovate and flip the hell out, alot of people are having issues with the lc1

[CleanNeon98]

I like those black wheels with the red lip

[BluMeanie]

thanks bil at first i didnt mind having my car down, but now im getting antsy, i want to drive it soooo badd

yea but you get to drive the evo!

[ray@turbotek]

update wideband is working, i had the wrong software installed, it was outdated. tuning happens tonight

[teh DIRT]

the sti sounds sick, we tinkered with some stuff last night and its ready to rip.

[ray@turbotek]

well after carefully trying to set up these injectors, i discovered they will not work on my car, did sme research on nasioc and found that some perrin injectors work on some stis but not others. im assuming it could be the 06 ecu since the person i bought them from had them on an 04 with no issues... no matter what i do the af corrections are ****ed and car idles rough with random cilinder misfires

[MuddyREX]

Wow, that sucks. Now your car has to sit until you get the right injectors?

[ray@turbotek]

Wow, that sucks. Now your car has to sit until you get the right injectors?

yes it does im bummed but i guess **** happens

[95nracer]

How are the injectors wrong? Hi/low impedance wrong?

[ray@turbotek]

How are the injectors wrong? Hi/low impedance wrong?

no i wish that was the issue as i can adjust the injector dead time, im assuming is just a spray pattern issue. idle is all over the place. i even tried getting opinions from other subaru tuner buddies of mine and that was our conclusion.

[teh DIRT]

im a buddy. its fubar'd.

[teh DIRT]

it was a breath taking moment tonight when the STi went into cardiac arrest. Luckily ray knows mouth to inlet ressucitation.


http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e72/lockenstuff/HPIM2009.jpg

[Jourdan]

deatsch werks are the way to go ray...and you can send your stockers back for a core fee back...which is like $150.
and they are absolutely amazing and slide right in. with no issues.
it will take 3 days to get a set.

[ray@turbotek]

may have to look into it

[ray@turbotek]

lol im such a tard

[ray@turbotek]

car is now in critical but stable condition, waiting to get new injectors

the turbo transplant went well the donor was very healthy

[ray@turbotek]

i think it may be getting released from the garage today. cross your fingers

[CHAOS]

nice keep us updated.

[ray@turbotek]

its alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just a little fine tuning now and the idle will be perfect.

[TROLL]

what injectors did you end up using? glad to hear things are looking up...

[Vypurr]

what injectors did you end up using? glad to hear things are looking up...

He cleaned and re-seated the same injectors. Its not perfect yet, but I think these injectors will work. The problem is that the flow is huge and its gonna take some time to tune it correct.

[Buster]

It drove far today, I even got to give it a pat on the back and an atta-boy before it left. Keep going ray youre almost ready.

[ray@turbotek]

ray's injector just shot him in the face. It was awesome. And its really hot in his garage.

this is pete

[Buster]

man, I knew I should have just follwed you guys back

[drew]

ray, man it isn't safe these days to be doing cpr without a barrier device, please next time something happens take the time to get a pocket mask out so you don't risk contracting any disease!

or just call 911 and i'll come to the rescue

[ray@turbotek]

[C'DALERIDER]

sell it and get a honda

Im begining to think this is good advice, for me anyway.

[ray@turbotek]

well going reverse manifold and tgv deletes very very shortly stay tuned

[CarbonIS]

very very shortly as in this weekend?

[AREA1320]

not quite ;)

[Raven18940]

well going reverse manifold and tgv deletes very very shortly stay tuned

What is this reverse manifold all you subaru guys talk about?

[ray@turbotek]

basically if you look at the subaru intake manifold the throttle body faces the rear of the car. when doing a fmic you need like 75 miles of piping. when you reverse the intake manifold the throttle body faces the front of the vehicle. making the distance from the intercooler endtanks to the tb closer causing less lag because of the shorter air travel. because the pipes will now be towards the front of the engine the piping will not get as hot as my current setup which takes the cold side of my intercooler by the turbo area before entering the tb, which will result in cooler air charges

[ray@turbotek]

not quite ;)

but very soon:)

[ray@turbotek]

update: scrapped the perrin stock modeds and upgraded to Power Enterprise 850cc goodness. also hks ssq and gfb mbc

[Nors]

Ray do you got pics of the reverse intake manifold?


Also, LOL @ 75 miles, mr. exaggeration.

[ray@turbotek]

Hey Ray did everything work out ok last night? What time did you get out of there?

[Nors]

Ah so the alternator gets relocated + longer belt. Thats a nice setup, never noticed it on Subies before, I probably just didn't realize it.

Short route piping and quick spool FTW.

[AREA1320]

yeah we left around 4ish.. Im sleepy :P

but everything works just a-ok

[ray@turbotek]

yeah i got home at 5:20 ish

highlight of the morning was as soon as i got to downtown easton the car stalled at a light, we didnt realize the cam position sensor wasnt hooked up all the way. and as soon as i tried to started it up at a light all you heard was a loud boom, louder than any gunshot i ever heard, it was great lol quiet downtown easton and a loud boom that echoed for a couple seconds lol

[turbo4g63]

so when do you plan on getting all of this done. is it hard?

[ray@turbotek]

i guess within the next month or so.i it hard? we will let mr 1320 answer that one lol

[Raven18940]

basically if you look at the subaru intake manifold the throttle body faces the rear of the car. when doing a fmic you need like 75 miles of piping. when you reverse the intake manifold the throttle body faces the front of the vehicle. making the distance from the intercooler endtanks to the tb closer causing less lag because of the shorter air travel. because the pipes will now be towards the front of the engine the piping will not get as hot as my current setup which takes the cold side of my intercooler by the turbo area before entering the tb, which will result in cooler air charges

I see, makes sense. I'm just assuming it's not as easy as unbolting the manifold and flipping it around. Good luck. :)

[Tru2Blu]

just read all 8 pages of this journal for the first time. im subscribing.

[AREA1320]

is it hard?? no.. time consuming yes. alot of fab work involved? you bet yo ass!!!

[ThePrimerSuspect]

yeah i got home at 5:20 ish

WHAT?!?!?! glad i didnt go then.

[ray@turbotek]

WHAT?!?!?! glad i didnt go then.

oh would you quit being such a girl.

[ray@turbotek]

no i wont as a matter of fact.

call my phone, i need your number again lol hopefully this is it with my phone issues

[ThePrimerSuspect]

i keep telling you..........motorolla sucks

[ray@turbotek]

i keep telling you..........motorolla sucks

yeah i know!!!

[ray@turbotek]

well i figured i should start turning my members journal into somewhat of a resource incase anyone decides to go a similar path.


well i been very unsuccesful to replicate the stock driveability with the pe injectors, and part of the reason is that no one knows the proper latecy values and scaler values due to variances in injectors. it is becoming a lil difficult for me since i have a fmic, intake, and big injectors all in and all affect long and short term fueling drastically. so im going at it a different route, but will save me the headache of having to mess with maf scaling, latency and injector scaling all at the same time.


tonight im going to install a stock top mount and install my factory airbox and
at this point the main things i need to concentrate on to get to the stock fuel trims on the 850's are the injector scaling map, and latency values.
ill figure out the proper scaling 1st then figure out the latency values untill i get my long and short term to where it needs to be on the 850's.

at this point the car should idle damn close to stock and drive like stock under normal driving conditions. so what next? i will then install my fmic and my intake back on the car and my fuel trims will go a little whack again however at this point the changes to the fuel trims i know were caused by the maf. I will then adjust the maf scaling to get the fuel trims back to where they were with the stock airbox and tmic and baddabing.

[CHAOS]

interesting ray, sounds like it could work very well

[ray@turbotek]

huge success guys, stock fuel trims and driveability are done, tommorow comes boost and timing :)

i posted a thread on how it was achieved on nasioc

http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1295146

thanks to vypurr for helping me swap to stock intercooler and airbox and then back to my setup.

[ray@turbotek]

got sick and tired of all the scratches on the dash trim and fading, so i decided to give it a shot with paint to see how it would look and if not order new ones well lets just say im going to get the jdm hazzard switch and ac buttons.

what do you think (sorry for the bad pics cammera batteries were dying

yeah the pics look ****ty but in person it looks stock :)

sweet part was i painted the pieces , went out tuned an 07 sti and when i came back everything was dry

[Honest_Bob]

Looks good. I've got scratches all over mine and it look horrible. Unfortunately one of the scratches goes through my ac button. :(

Where are you going to pickup these jdm knobs? What color are they?

[ray@turbotek]

next couple weeks actually i have some other finacial things that i need to address first lol

[CarbonIS]

i'm glad you did this ray i was considering doing this to see how it turned out.
Did you use a matte black?

[ray@turbotek]

[AREA1320]

yeah im very happy with the results. even my wife loves it, at 1t when i was doing it she was upset because she thought i was going to ruin it lol

[Honest_Bob]

Wow, the oem silver really did not belong, black looks much better. You did the circular vents on each side to right? How did you get those things off?

[ray@turbotek]

i pried them with a butter knife very carefully. a screw driver will screw up the dash so i didnt use it.

[Vypurr]

Wrap the end of a flat screw driver in electric tape to prevent scratches!

[ray@turbotek]

that wont work
you need something that flexes so you dont bend the foam

[~addicted2boost]

looks clean man! i did the same thing and i love it, way better than the silver

[Jim Lewis]

I was thinking of painting mine fluorescent blue.....

[ray@turbotek]

so im thinking of doing JDM v9 STi Toshi Arai Spec white wheels next what do you guys think.

http://my.reset.jp/~ohji-h/20052.12.23gdbf4fh0002.jpg

[TROLL]

that'd look like crap.

[Nors]

Not a fan, I think it would be too much white.

[subwrxkid]

omg white on white is heat! Do it.

[CarbonIS]

i'm all about it ray do it

[S4toSTI]

Dooo it.

[Renegade_]

Your cars will be complete opposites cosmetically...

[ray@turbotek]

im really considering doing this, hopefully i can get some cash together soon

[CarbonIS]

yeah ray! we'll have to get a pic of our cars together. PS u need to do hellas.

[Jim Lewis]

But if you just powdercoat your present wheels white, it'll cost $250-275 at Bonehead, and you can blow the huge amount of money you saved on other cool stuff.

[ray@turbotek]

its not the same lol

Nah, he just has wicked turn around time on parts :lol:

I would love it if I was speculating on this seat (http://www.rallysportdirect.com/shop/prodrive-competition-fixed-back-seat-p-526.html) and it magically installed itself on my car too. As of yet, it hasn't happened but I have high hopes :roll:

You painted your wheels, or powdercoated them?

Also, PM me with the size and wattage you wanted in that Infiniti Bass Link - my stereo buddy got in touch with me.

[Shades of Gray]

alright ray, we all had our laughs, I need my wheels back by tomorrow evening...:afro:

[CarbonIS]
