    Those are horrible welds and there is no way that thing is worth 12Gs.

    Ill do it myself.

    He is tearing down his current 06 STi and redoing it.

    Exactly, I'm pretty much never happy with anything, I always want to rebuild everything.

    No more plans for the 2.35?

    IF...the 2.5 sells then I will either do a 2.35 or a 2.65.

    I really want to do a 2.65 with 10.5 to 1 and a hydra.

    We will see shortly.

    Hmm, maybe rear brembos and the turbo kit and intercooler are spoken for, I think. Ill post up what I have left tommrow.

    Do you know if the rear brembo's have the clearance issues that the fronts have? I know the fronts do not fit but what about the rears?

    I don't think the rears have any clearance issues.

    the rears require 'massaging' to fit to WRX. Plus you'd need some 04 spec rotors...which i have 2 rear sets of that I found in the garage...i tripped over them.

    F it, shitty brakes make the track that much more fun. Scary but fun.

    Hmmmm, I might be able to get a deal on a Motec so I might be going Motec.

    Looks like its a Full-Race manifold and a Twinscroll GT35R....

    This is going to be fun....Check my Forsale section thread for the latest info.

    Everything will be custom this time, we arent' even going to screw around. Custom intercooler Radiator Setup, Custom piping, BG built intake manifold. etc.....

  34. slowwrx

    slowwrx Supporting Member

    New plans I'm not using the 2.5 now...and I'm not using the 2.35 and I'm not using the 2.65....

    I guess you will have to guess what I'm using.

    so thats why you no longer need the full race manifold

    cant wait to see where this ends up

    tt?
     
  41. slowwrx

    Yeah I'm pretty excited about it. I thought about it right when I got the car but I kind of dismissed it as being to expensive etc.....

    Well since I just sold the motor and turbo setup that were on the car it looks quite possible.

    I'm going to try and do a really through Journal about the build. I think its a good option for the Road Race Guys that want 600hp and quick spool.

    The Header and Swap specific parts will be available from BG as soon as I get done R&Ding it.

    No its cool. Ill try and sit down and do a full write up of what the plan is tonight.

    I'm pretty sure I'm going to be using a BorgWarner Turbo so that should be interesting.
