@158158cow Somewhere in the area of $40,000 I stopped counting at around 35k, and I know I put several thousand more into it. Total I had a little over 60k invested last time I added it up
@158158cow I didnt dyno it, but I have been in and set up plenty 450-550whp subies. I would put this right at 500whp. It was enough that on the big boost map it would lose traction in 4th gear. It was pretty terrifying on that map lol.
Are you in Austin? I think I've seen your car at a TXIC cruise from Rudy's one time. Tried to keep up with you through some wicked twisted two-lane road in the hills, but my WRX wasn't having it. Awesome car!
Well it turns out it was a shitty shortblock build. The machine shop did a terrible job and whoever put the 2 block halves together went fucking crazy with the silicon plugging up multiple oil passages. The pistons fit horribly and scuffed the hell out of the cyl walls. In the end, I couldnt justify spending another 8k on a motor and sold this beast. I am happy to report that a cool guy who is going to keep it pretty much as is bought it and will take care of it.
@Nbuilder1 The guy that has it now has made it even nicer. He re-did the lip (still black, just freshened it up) and blacked out the headlights. He also got a custom made Cobb exh on it so its more tame sounding.
Loving the Fozzy , sorry to hear about the motor issues. I'm in the same boat, 3 weeks after tuning my 20g set up I spun a #3 rod bearing. Your video make me want to do the cams while I have her apart.
Cyl 2 80% leakdown. /facepalm Looks like an injector was failing/failed and either heated the piston till it melted/deformed/broke or caused massive detonation.
It wasnt the root of the issue that made it run like this video though.
The motor should come out in the next couple days and I will see what happened.
Going on the dyno in the next couple weeks. Going to *shudder* ecutek (pukes) because they have finally released their speed density software. Looking for in the area of 420-440 on MZMs BRUTALLY heartbreaking dyno. May go back for a race gas tune later and break the 500mark.
@davenow Out of curiosity, what do you think of the Cosworth 278/274 cams. I'm on the fence trying to decide whether to add these cams to my engine build or something more like a 272. I'm not too concerned about a lumpy idle, though I don't want around town drivability to suffer. Do you like these cams? How do they affect AVCS intake advance?
ohh dude the problem with the idle is so obvious....its the boston sticker on the back...take it off and it will run smoother than butter....lol jk nice car!! I heard these engines are a little better than the ones in the sti ( I know both ar ej25), either it had better internals or somehting like that
@v8subie More like running on a fucked up o2 sensor I think.
Dont get me wrong, it has a lumpy idle (sort of. Its pretty calm for the cams it has) But its EXTRA lumpy right now because the AFRs at idle when it hasnt fully warmed up yet are WAYYYY the fuck off.
oh my GOD a cammed motor is one of the greatest sounds to mankind. your car looks AMAZING, and SOUNDS amazing. what a beautiful monster...it must be a blast to drive. post up more vids asap please!
I think i saw this thing on google when i searched "STI Forester"... I was really bored at school and yes i know there is no STI Forester.
