Built 2.5L WRX - FMIC Test

Just making sure everything is in order before the bumper goes on for the last time for a while.

The lower cold side pipes will be painted black to match the other side and the core will be getting the same treatment. But for now, it's running, and I'm going to give it a couple days first to double check that everything was done correctly.

@stugats77 To a certain extent, and for a certain power level. There are pros and cons to each but what is chosen is dictated by the setup provided.

Nice try though.

Is the rattle in the engine a normal subaru sound ?

[XCRunner259]

@iSpySTi What you hear is the valves and the injectors. Normal.

how much did you pay for the intercooler?

[wrxsecks17]

I recognize that turboxs intercooler and green rim combo from a Kingstowne meet several months ago... I think you were the guy I was asking a lot of questions about the Ej257 or Ej255 swap into my wrx wagon... The only thing you told me was ignore the hybrid setup haha

@iSpySTi Tickety tick tick, Tickety tick tick. yeah its normal lol

[XFoolXProofX]

@stugats77 Sure up to a certain hp/tq number but a TMIC can only support 400-450ish hp. TMIC is going to spool faster and keep the sleeper look but the FMIC depending ont he core size can support XXXXHP with the loss of spool but at 500+ hp numbers you are going to lose i tone way or another.

@iSpySTi Yes sir, I thought the same thing when I first bought mine. I was like "OMG, WTF, I just bought this car, and already valve tick?!?!"
