GD Funk32's 04 STi race car Build V-Mount,TS EFR7163

[funk32]

looks slow!!! you should give the car to me haha but in all seriousness this car is done right, you have so many chassis etc parts i could only dream of, and that twin scroll kit looks sweet. didn't catch the company but it looks good.

serious question i have been thinking about front tubular crossmember (already ready have a m-1 subframe) and tubular rear diff holder. did you feel a difference with it vs stock? or what it just a weight shaving thing? i can read all i want about them from companies and how they help but want a real world testers answer.

keep up the great work. what kind of numbers do you hope to lay down or there isn't a specific one?

the slower comment was for E13's post/car

The front frame is lighter not by too much maybe 5lbs, but it is a lot stiffer. Now I have not used during a track event yet as she is in this state lol.

I am hoping to hit 380/400 ish, I am dropping the meth as it is not allowed in the rules used here, I will also go from 91 shell to 94 husky (only options where I live)

oh but i intended that comment to be for your car lol

good to know that they actually do make a difference

thats it? why so little on a twin scroll? or are there certain rules you have to go by?

i am not hating just curious as to why the low numbers

 

[funk32]

twin scroll doesnt mean more power, the same turbo single scroll would make more power.. plus we have a heart breaker of a dyno. stock STi's 220

 

[ej25subie05]

curious when will you be hitting full boost on this setup your putting together?

 

[funk32]

not too sure, not a lot of people using this turbo on just gas (crappy canadian gas at that) hoping for full by 3800-4000

 

[funk32]

flocked the dash and other parts, sorry for the crappy pics but it was chilly outside so the lighting was crappy.

once it is dry I will remove the extra and install the dash then a buddy is coming over to help install the front and rear glass

 

[funk32]

I was able to sort out the dash mounting and switch panel, both made from a CF plates that are pretty thick. still need to add some more warning lights (rear diff temp,dccd,abs and indicators) and some more switches for the rear diff and transmission cooler (pumps/fans) also need to add the stickers for the on button and off/kill button.

Well, I am home due to an unexpected injury. So to help me feel better I went out and did some very minor work (4 cuts and some moving lol). Was able to get the IC into the correct position, now just need to weld some tabs on to it so it can be securely mounted. I will also be adding some ducting for the rad to ensure the air goes through it and no blowing past it.

yes I know there are parts and crap everywhere lol don't judge me. I know where I put it all lol.

 

[ej25subie05]

love it! coming along very nicely. gave me some ideas for my car now

 

[funk32]

Thank!!

Today I decided to tackle power supply and kill switch wiring. I think all went well, straight forward install.


new Dry cell battery is a PC925, it is not the lightest battery but it is low profile and should last awhile in case I forget to shut down the Armtech system.

The Armtech system is a pretty cool piece of kit, it houses a kill switch for inside the car and one for outside the car along with a rest button, all FIA approved. What you see is the Armtech main box, the alternator connects here along with the battery pos and neg, then the system grounds through the last connection.

today's small project was ducting for the Rad. Just need it welded in place when I get the v-mount setup hard mounted.

[IGOTASTi]

No big deal. We fixed it.

Well I spent some time cleaning the garage and putting the car back on the ground. I took some pic since the car has been in the air for 9 months haha
