Well, lots of people called him Dom, and knew him quite well.. he runs his own tuning company I guess you could say.. He opened up a site, but I don't know it.. he did a quick reflash on my ECU before I had APv1 Stage 2, and I felt little to no difference when I got the AP.

 

you ordered bearings and rings without taking the motor apart first?

hope you get the right clearances with those

 

Bearings might be the only problem. They were inexpensive and Seth said go ahead and get them... so, we'll see. Piston rings came with the set of pistons I bought. They are .5mm over and the walls were clean, so it should be all good.


I guess I just figured that most people in the area knew who Dom was. I've seen him tune a few cars.. he knows his shit. Saw a 540whp Sti roll off the dyno at All Aspects. This guy drove down from quite a ways tho for the tune.

Final parts have arrived.
Crower S4 cams. 280* duration, .414 lift
BC +1mm valves
springs retainers
AEM

Car should be finishing up here soon. Break the motor in then take the trip up to Andrew Tech.

I have to also say that not only does Seth appear to know his shit... he's cool as hell and always willing to take the time to sit down and explain shit to me. Great guy. Glad I went there so far.

UPDATE**


Stage 4 Crower cams (280* duration .414 lift)
+1mm BC Valves
Springs

AEM with all sensors
ACT 6 puck
FMIC
TIAL 38mm

12mm oil pump is on its way. Car should rev past 8k now. Motor is going to Kienan at All Aspects to be put back together and for a tune in the next two weeks.

 

awesome man! keep us updated!

 

PAR Dogbox. Straight cut 1,3 and 4. Helical 2nd.



"800hp" gearbox.

 

Green is gone....

SZ55 in its place.

Flows a bit more than a GT30r .63

 

Alright. Been awhile since I updated this thing. Because of problems here and there, I have had to wait quite a while. Things are moving along nicely now.

I had to wait for a damn shift rod to get here from Australia to get the tranny finshed up... but it's done now and installed.



Long first gear. Should be around 40-44mph in 1st gear and then tighter ratios after that. Still on the 3.9 final tho and stock diffs. I wont be able to run any sort of slicks or sticky tire until the diffs are changed. Dumping at 6K+ on boost, if the tires don't spin, axles and diffs will have a fit.

Motor is done and completely assembled. Rotated manifold to shorten up the I/C piping. Perrin Fuel Rails. No A/C.
AVO turbo inlet hose, Borla header, 820cc injectors, 12mm oil pump. Gruppe-S up pipe with 38mm TIAL. Turbo is the Superzilla 55. Not much bigger will fit in the stock location.

 

Motor and tranny in.
Battery relocated to the trunk. ZEX kit should be installed here shortly as well. 50 shot should help spool significantly.

Front mount in place.

Few other things in the works but you get the idea. it's actually coming along. We're definietly looking forward to actually seeing what this thing will do. Not too many 2.0l Subbie's rolling around making 450+... we'll see.
