what does stage 4 mean

[Robk0000]

exhaust, intake, turbo & tmic would be the 4 stages covered so far, but in the land of cobalts he would be stage 16

Haha I dont know cobalts so I'm not sure wy but satge 16 sounds hillarious :lol:

[02bugeyeoutback]

hes got the sun roof, heated seats, ect... I believe

[itsmy04wrx]

hes got the sun roof, heated seats, ect... I believe

Yup sun roof, heated seats, heated mirrors and the lower part of the windshield heats up the wipers (dont know if that comes on all the WRX's) and its got the rear deck brake light delete and is replaced with an LED brake light on the spoiler also not sure if that comes with all the WRX's I just rmember Jeremy asking me if I did the brake light delete when I first met you guys in Keene haha.

[itsmy04wrx]

Got all my gaskets in today. Hopefully should be finishing the TGV's within the next couple of days and getting the up pipe on. Then just have to order a couple more things and re-install everything.

[itsmy04wrx]

Update: :banghead:

[Pulski]

I take it things aren't going well?

[itsmy04wrx]

I take it things aren't going well?

No they are I just need help because there are so many hoses and wires that I dont know where they go :lol:

[Pulski]

It's all Legos... it'll all go back together. :)

[itsmy04wrx]

It's all Legos... it'll all go back together. :)

Haha thats a good way of putting it...I wish the car was color coded like legos :lol: Yea I'm sure it will all go back together, I just wish I knew what everything was and where it all went. Yesterday I went over there to attempt to put it back together and I looked at it and did this >>> :palm:

[itsmy04wrx]

Update: Got the car all back together...started it up....there is a hole in the flex section of my up pipe :banghead: anybody feel like road tripping to South Carolina for a little beat down?

[bigd_wright]

that sucks man :unamused: beat down FTW

[itsmy04wrx]

that sucks man :unamused: beat down FTW

Yea I wasnt happy :unamused: oh well...at least thats an excuse to order an invidia.

[RCKSTR]

Update: Got the car all back together...started it up....there is a hole in the flex section of my up pipe :banghead: anybody feel like road tripping to South Carolina for a little beat down?

are you sure its an actuall hole or just a leak in the up-pipe/header flange?

[itsmy04wrx]

are you sure its an actuall hole or just a leak in the up-pipe/header flange?

Pretty sure its a hole...we could see exhaust coming out of the flex section, plus the car sounds like a diesel truck:unamused:

[itsmy04wrx]

Ordered a new Invidia up pipe, Hopefully it gets here in 3-5 days :lol: Got my map uploaded to the UTEC regaurdless of somebody haveing deleted the Hyperterminal program in my computer that communicates with the ECU along with the drivers for my serial cable:unamused: Had to do some searching and ALOT of trial & error to get it to work again but it does. Hopefully will have the car on the road soon :spin:

[Pulski]

Gutted stocker FTW!

Good luck getting it all back together.

[itsmy04wrx]

Gutted stocker FTW!

Good luck getting it all back together.

Yea I thought about doing that but I didnt want to risk my turbo, plus after porting the TGV's I have had my fill of "gutting" stuff :lol: Plus I have the Invidia DP and love it so it will be all good. Now I wait :unamused: waiting for parts FTMFL :palm:

[RCKSTR]

risk your turbo?

[itsmy04wrx]

risk your turbo?

If I missed any pieces of the cat and it got suck into the turbo...I'm sure I probably could have gotten it clean but I really didnt feel like doing it :lol:

[RCKSTR]

Oh OK, I know what you mean. I was extra carefull when I did Dans :lol: I was scared about the same thing :)

[itsmy04wrx]

Oh OK, I know what you mean. I was extra carefull when I did Dans :lol: I was scared about the same thing :)

Yea, after doing the TGV's I figured that my turbo was a good excuse to not have to port anything else and just order a different one :lol:

[GOT+PSI]

[GOT+PSI]

Did it in about an hour on Friday. Then putting the intercooler on was a different story haha but its on there. I got a few mystery noises but I know a couple of them are the intercooler being huge and rubbing against everything. But over all the car is running great and I'm really happy with it :up:

[itsmy04wrx]

Just sucks ya have it pay the 175 again...:shrug:...either way a lot cheaper than any shops charge!:up:

[itsmy04wrx]

Just sucks ya have it pay the 175 again...:shrug:...either way a lot cheaper than any shops charge!:up:

He definitely wont charge me 175 again. All he is gonna do is basically monitor my A/F and see if it just fixes itself with the new pump and maybe tweak a few little things.

[bigd_wright]

...he will when you go FMIC...cause its like tuning a whole different car...:lol:

[itsmy04wrx]

O definitely. That's why I'm staying with my massive TMIC for now, plus it is way more responsive :devil:

[bigd_wright]

O definitely. That's why I'm staying with my massive TMIC for now, plus it is way more responsive :devil:
Im gonna be buying jwebstas TMIC...Hopefully when he goes FMIC!!

[itsmy04wrx]

I love it. No lag but its big enough to accommodate a lot of boost.

[bigd_wright]

:up:

[RCKSTR]

all I hear is blah blah blah... FMIC ftw :spin:

[itsmy04wrx]

Shutcho mouth :lol:

[bigd_wright]

all I hear is blah blah blah... FMIC ftw :spin:
VERY TRUE!

[RCKSTR]

hell I've even proven that FMIC's are ditch proof in the winter :cool:

[itsmy04wrx]

:lol: that is true Justin.

[bigd_wright]

hell I've even proven that FMIC's are ditch proof in the winter :cool:

+1 and you don't need a giant core like most people go with."Go big or go home" doesn't always follow on FMICs

[-GWOOD-]

O definitely. That's why I'm staying with my massive TMIC for now, plus it is way more responsive :devil:

Do you have Data to back this up?

[Seraphinwolf]

Do you have Data to back this up?

It's readily available info out there. I'd presume that on Subi's a top mount will be more responsive than a front mount due how the flow of air acts as it gets to the I take manifold. We just see more top end from a front mount due to cooler temps. It's a trade off but there is a enough low end normally that it's an acceptable one, most will agree I'm sure.
Turbulance right at the throtle body and shorter series of pipes to run through depending on set up.

[itsmy04wrx]

Keith which one did you mean is more expensive?

[itsmy04wrx]

Also Walboro 255 is IN :spin:

[Seraphinwolf]

Mmmm... Gas fumes! :)

[bigd_wright]

Also Walboro 255 is IN :spin:

As in...installed in the vehicle?...if so thats awesome! Time to go see Bren again!:up:

[itsmy04wrx]

All of that ^^^^^

[-GWOOD-]

I was just giving you a hard time because now i have a FMIC :spin: The more parts i add to the Supra the more of an ******* i become. :RCKSTR:

[RCKSTR]

hey now keith, don't take all the credit of being an *******. I was giving him **** too :lol:

[itsmy04wrx]

:lol: no I could get a FMIC for free I just don't want the lag, that's why I went TMIC in the first place.

[RCKSTR]

its not really that noticeable :shrug:

I :wub: mine, but wish I had a different brand... APS

[itsmy04wrx]

The APS kit is no joke.

[jwebsta32]

Aps ftw

[Seraphinwolf]

:lol: no I could get a FMIC for free I just don't want the lag, that's why I went TMIC in the first place.

its not really that noticeable :shrug:

I :wub: mine, but wish I had a different brand... APS

^This. I haven't driven a car with a front mount but I have riden abd felt the different via the pass seat. All a matter of tune. Besides, some cams, upped compression from pistons, and what not and it'll be a whole new kids fun!

[RCKSTR]

Holy **** this hasn't been updated in forever... I'll have to dig up some pics :spin:

[Berge56]
