Hatchkrapper's WRX

[zbabar3000]

Sex. On. Wheels. And turbo. :]

[Smljhndnsmr]

i HAD taken my stock wrx wing off for a while, but, for whatever reason, put it back on. after watching this vid, i kinda want to take it off again. those things really do look like ass! but i guess that's just my opinion.

[Twrx2010]

Nice setup bro. Looks sleek too. Not overdone.

[Hargak]

Sounds like a boost leak..

[Donpara22]

One thing I do not understand.. why do you build fast street cars, I've been to US and you get in real trouble for driving fast, Europe is much better for this :)

[yskateboard93]

My bugeye wrx came with 180whp stock my buddies Sti came with 225whp stock. Vids of mine will be up when I get done

With the build this week:) stage2+. Wrx with 260whp conservative tune:)

[kodirat]

sounds so nasty. love the blob eye look, i say go wingless though :)

[abcgimp]

bet me 07 2.5i n/a would take your wrx at an autocross meet 275 crank hp mods include custom balanced crank. forged rods, higher compression pistons big valves high rpm springs, 272 cams, 71mm high flow intake manifold, 71mm throttle body, 750cc injectors and pulleys, motor tuned on engine dyno, and then ive cut 300lbs out of the car weighing 2625 on the scale, full a/c delete, lowering springs, struts, 22mm front 24mm rear sway bar, moog controls arms, tie rods, balljoints,and i drive better

[illcat28]

@abcgimp

Awesome...congrats

[LIVESTRONG9008]

@abcgimp ya congrats 275 crank horsepower and about a 30% drivetrain power loss it being AWD not quite 300 WHEEL horse but its close......-__-......get a life who cares just watch the video and enjoy the awesome sound of the WRX. @illcat28 great video man dont let ppl like stop you from making more.

[rockshox911]

@abcgimp LOL you wasted all that money on a 2.5i

[abcgimp]

not wasted if i beat stock evos and stis. someone is always is faster then someone so why try and make the fastest sti when fastest turbo h4 runs under 9sec now you look at my car and im way fast for a non turbo subaru

[rockshox911]

@abcgimp yea, i highly doubt you do that with ~220 whp. get videos to prove it. otherwise you are full of shit.

and if a stock 2.5i weighs 3100, and you "cut" 300, how are you down to 2600? seems like your math is a little off. atleast you were smart enough to keep the stock equal length headers. and how can you prove that you drive better then him? you have never even seen him drive. and if you say you can tell by the video, just jump off a cliff.

[abcgimp]

stock weight in was like 2985 how can every 2.5i weight 3100 when there are different options and your not smart enought to know my car comes with unequal

[rockshox911]

@abcgimp No 2.5i's came with unequal length headers EVER. dumb ass get out of here.

[abcgimp]

working with a better power to weight my car with 230hp is 11.3lbs per hp at 275 ill be at 9.45lbs per hp The wrx with 275 is 11.6lbs per hp

[rockshox911]

@abcgimp and that clearly shows you know nothing about subaru's as none of the wrx's came with 275 stock.

[refuse2regretxo]

@abcgimp you kind of suck, considering the money all that would cost and time and effort , and you only make 275 at the crank..... just bad. i have an 04 wrx with a vf43 on a conservative tune, 17 psi, and i made 275 at the wheels, but your set up.... just awful. it would be like investing in carbon fiber cup holders... stupid. i just feel sick now, you have ruined my day, i will now retire to the bathroom.

[abcgimp]

you obviously never race rally 2650lbs with 275hp no turbo that means 0psi im not going to race in an unlimited class against travis or kent look into rally dumb ass im making more power then most people im my class

[rockshox911]

@abcgimp 220-230whp im sure is not more then most people.

[EthansOpinion92]

@abcgimp learn your shit dude dont be a cocky fuck

[Smljhndnsmr]

@abcgimp so lemme get this straight. after ALL that work you've done, your 2.5i is STILL n/a? what happened to that little step called converting the system to forced induction configuration? kinda seems to me you might have "built a mansion but elected to exclude the roof."

[s2pjefferson]

@abcgimp hahaha look at all the stuff you did and all us wrx's have to do is slap on a bigger turbo. fail

[RonniesGarage]

@abcgimp you are troll and a disgrace to the fellowship of subaru owners, nobody here watched this video to hear about you stupid n/a 2.5i with no ac

[sweetlikeADAM]

@abcgimp You are a turd.

[bassbone1785]

Love the vid! Sounds great!

@abcgimp For one, really troll-ish to come on this guys video and be a dick. For 2 a N/A 2.5 subie engine will NOT make more than 200hp at the crank. It has been tried and there just isn't enough displacement or RPM ability and the blocks aren't strong enough. I know, I've been building mine and others for quite a while now.

[afgandominator]

Perfect daily driven wrx :-) not the fastest thing on the street but will get u up and going just fine

[blueoval428]

So did you dyno it to find that it makes exaclty 300 on the nose? Or did you just add up the gains youre "supposed" to have from all of your aftermarket parts?

[elemento1991]

How many miles have you had the turbo for without issues?

[803scsubie]

you should lose the scoop

[peterdepriest]

@803scsubie you do know the scoop actually serves a purpose right? besides it looks great

[803scsubie]

@peterdepriest ...i hate dumb ppl...you do know he has a front mount right big boy? so the scoop isnt really doin much besides adding wind resistance...

[peterdepriest]

@803scsubie dont call me dumb. sorry i didnt notice the front mount but now that i know that i see your point. but still it looks good and why spend all the money to find a hood without the scoop and most likely paint it to match?

[tegagsr]

what kinda ewg are u running and what kinda turbo, i was looking to pick up a subie soon

[05BlackSTi]

nice rex man, props on getting it up to 300. what all do you have done to it?

[GEOTOYMR218]

damnnnn that thing is a beast!!!!!! love it man. great job with the rex. superrr jealous

[Shady97342]

what blow off valve is that?

[godsinu]

@Shady97342 hks ssqv way to go!!!!!!!!!!!

[Perazzi11]

damn thats a rocket ... the ewg sound really loud though for everyday

[scoobysubiedew]

equal length header? doesn't sound as gurmbly as UEL header. mabye just my crappy pc speakers. none the less a sexy wrx

[triggerfingas]

Damn dat wrx is mean as shit.....i like how its on dat sleeper shit too....looks mad chill(TILL U SEE THE BIG ASS FRONT MOUNTED INTERCOOLER LOL :P)good stuff man

[AYEcorolla]

dat?

what the fuck are you some sort of ignorant moron?

[triggerfingas]

@AYEcorolla and what are u some kind of internet thug or sumn...poppin dat shit over the internet but i bet if i told u where i was at u wouldnt do shit so STFU

[GoodOldKiwiBoy]

How a wrx should sound!

[kaosracing386]

Stock tranmission?

[FlipMollc]

it might leak under higher boost levels

[MontrealWRX]

OEM BPV forever !!! badass btw

[02wrb]

i dont think you have much of an option when going fmic

[chrisevolution8]

love that sound.

[adielurquia1234]

any one know..what is the best turbo to get to 300 whp or a little bit more on a wrx??...

[illcat28]

probably an 18g

[abirdthatcanfly]

Absolutely. I believe an 18g can get to 350whp safely...on e85 of course. I talked to my tuner, and he actually says 400 on an 18g is possible with e85, but i think you need to run meth to keep it safe.

[illcat28]

oh yeah, and a stock clutch and easy shifting. Let the clutch go before the tranny does, unless you have money for a 6 speed or ppg.

[bonexxx5]

how is the wrx for daily driving with upgrades?

[illcat28]

fine for daily driving even with stg4 as long as you keep it at an 18g turbo or smaller IMO. Mostly depends on how safe the tune is.

[bonexxx5]

thanks for actually responding.its hard to get a good tune in pa where im at.i was looking at an 05 wrx so im iffy on if i should get it

[bluemystic7502]

@bonexxx5

Depends on your turbo.

[Fender927]

@adielurquia1234 16g.

[Perazzi11]

@adielurquia1234 evo lll 16g or a vf34

[deadlystratigyz]

that sounds nice i jus bought a evo 3 big 16G .. turbo.. but gonna wait til i get injectors, FMIC and my CBE before it goes on

[hockeyguy2107]

Nice. 300hp is no joke. I got the chance to ride in this guy's '95 RS that he'd built up to 550whp and holy crap.

[ScottishScoobs]

a love the american look..

low

rota's

and despoilerd

looks mint.what turbo are you running?or is it stock with built in waistegate?

[Zlaja16]

external waste gate is gay

[AdamRanda]

What did you do to make your grill look like that, I've done some research but couldn't find anything? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

[454sskilla]

that thing is nasty gotta love the sound of them un even headers wat kinda blow off valve is that hks ssqv it sounds kinda diffrent

[themisiek2]

real nice. love the sound.

[AdamRanda]

I think if you painted or got STI side skirts your car would be Tits! Either way your car is slamming. Good work.

[illcat28]

They've been painted since this vid along with a few more modifications.

[AdamRanda]

Oh thats cool.

[sweetlikeADAM]

@AdamRanda No. Looks better with Sport trim.

[pandamaster3490]

and I jizzed in my pants......

[santyson]

I love the sound of the waste gate but your bov is pretty loud. I only hear the wg when you are coming in front. Nice job man!! stock internals? transmition?

[illcat28]

HKS SSQV

[illcat28]

At the time it was a JIC titanium.

[bingchill]

Nice car dude i got a wrx 2004 with a evoIII 16g but it blew the rings so prob going for 2.5sti swap

[racersky]

Only time will tell on how long that glass wrx tranny is going to last

[illcat28]

almost two years so far

[kylepope519]

for a while if he doesn't launch the shit out of it and or slam gears. and by listening to him shift in the video he's not slamming them at all

[y2keddy]

hahaha bugeye? Dude come on get it right!!! google 02 wrx that's a bugeye

[mbdulka]

Sexy Bugeyed WRX .... love the EWG sound ... grrrr... lol.

[snoboarder8232]

That's not a bugeye.

[mbdulka]

You got me on a technicality, but it still has bug eyes :-)

[branbai]

the hell video were you looking at? lol i see a blob eyes.

[PacRimWarrior]

Finally something inventive! A non-STI WRX build!

[TheOnly1Ever]

Nice video, the just love the Subby sound, so unique so damn hot lol. That air intake is loud as hell to!

[washable85]

i like the flyby at the end... skurred me!! so wats ur mod list look like?

[MurkY0u]

damn that shit hauls asshole for only 300whp....but thats prob like 370hp bc it awd

[adotwhite]

love the sound of all that damn air gettin sucked in!

[moorechez67]

lose the blow-off valve and I'd give you props.

[Rtree115]

Saltyhippo- Aint no lag with a front mount you fucking dickhead I can prove it and Im still on a stock turbo HEAT SOAK FTL. Its always a dumbass on youtube who has to talk shit and always hate. That EWG 16G will whip ya ass.

In comment to the vid: That is one very clean blobeye you got there, Mines would like identical once I get Canards and the front lip. Funny I actually just brought a Big 16g also. Just need injectors now

[AwDWrXInViDiA]

Hey man what kind of turbo do you have?

[saltyhippo]

i just got MY05 flashed at stage 2 and it would smoke that.. have you gotten it flashed?

headers back

short ram intake

turboxs BOV

sti top mount

oh and are you getting lag from that FMIC???

i have one sitting in my garage but i dont think there is any need for it until possibly a TD05 mitsu turbo or vf34 mayyyybe...

2liter too much lag =(

[illcat28]

yeah, because I'm sure your stage 2 makes 300whp.

[acingteam]

Dude, stage 2 is ONLY 285bhp (240WHP) at oct 93. How the hell would you smoke a 300WHP?!

And you don't need a FMIC even with a VF34 unless you want extra lag. I have a VF34 with a stock top mount (not STi) and a cobb flash, pushing about 320bhp (270WHP)... looking to do more.

[illcat28]

My datalogs from a few days ago show no more than about 72% IDC. I'm tuned a little rich also at about 10.5:1. You should be fine unless you want a little room for improvement later down the road.

[chachalai]

are u using 650 or 750cc injectors? thx!

[illcat28]

650

[drewce123]

can som1 tell me the difference between a Wastegate, and a blow of valve and whats better thanks

[illcat28]

a wastegate "bleeds off" exhaust gas before the turbo to control boost. A BOV releases the pressurized air when the throttle is closed so it doesn't reverse direction and try to spin the turbine in the opposite direction. Neither is better, they do two seperate things.

[twoguysrally]

Yep. I think drew was going to ask about CBV and BOV, which are Compressor Bypass Valves and Blow off Valves. For a stock WRX please dont put a BOV on it. Your engine will run crazy rich after coming off of the throttle, your car thinks it has more air than it does. So if you get a BOV, run a MAP system rather than a MAF.

[subaru43]

dude your subie's freckin sick man i love it keep up the good work dude pace..........

[94EglVisionTSI]

beautiful sound

[mortaldig]

damn that spool up is sick

[OBrex05]

Hey man, I was wondering if you had a list of your set up. Sounds so bad ass. I been wanting to do that with my WRX once I get my deadbolt 16g. I'll probably add a QTP cutoff to my mid pipe for even less restriction. Gonna be so loud, but totally worth it though.

[Rtree115]

For a 16g that rex sounds sick, probably because of external dump but that shit hot. No fogs an STI Canards set it off, I was going do the same thing to mines.

[sickbro91]

god that wastegate makes your car so much louder

[sickbro91]

god that wastegate makes your car so much louder

[AlexanderWRX]

Nice car, very fast. Check out my ´05 WRX with HKS GT-RS turbo kit, it sounds great! :)

[112964]

hey wat kinda turbo u using

[illcat28]

Polished Forced Performance EvoIII 16G

[matty2000shoes]

illcat28, i have an 04 wrx. the FP evo3 16g is what i am leaning towards. how much lag is there? why didn't you go with the 18g?

[matty2000shoes]

illcat28, i have an 04 WRX i am trying to decide between the FP evo3 16g and theFP-18g. how much lag do your get with the 16g? why did you not go with the 18g?

[illcat28]

I chose the 16g because of all the horror stories about the stock tranny not holding much over 300whp. I knew that with this setup I could hit 300 pretty easily. The lag isn't bad at all. I'm keeping this until I either build it or get a 2.5 block, then I'm going rotated.

[deadflagbluesxxx]

Jesus Christ. I have an '04 in blue and I'll be lucky if mine turns out half as hot as this one.

[ddge2wildcard]

That ssqv is loud as hell, what fmic is that? I have a turboxs and want to switch up to the ssqv. I basically have the same set up, just a different bov. Did you have a flange welded on or is there an adapter?

[illcat28]

That one is a perrin, but I'm switching to a turboxs style because of an accident that destroyed this one...the piping is flanged. Engine pics can be found on Nasioc...search user Stiwanabe04

[ddge2wildcard]

Cool thanks I have been looking for an adapter but I figured I am going to have to get a flange welded on. Oh well, I am akturbogti on nasioc.

[KuostA]

Boy that sure sounds fucking amazing.

[Tonbone]

EWG ftw i have a 44mm on my Rex

[lethaladv]

Love the setup!

[SNIPAR187]

BOOSTN REX.... IS IT AN STI??? YOUR WASTEGATES PRETTY LOUD.. BE EVEN LOUDER IF YOU PUT A 50mm IN...HEHE

[KuostA]

It's a wrx.

[imtrill07]

sounds like it has vtec

[rooboy69]

whats that noise, the air intake?

[illcat28]

It's the external wastegate...Tial 38mm

[elkayem]

I'm sure he's been told this but please tell him this...

PAINT YOUR SIDESKIRTS!
