Perrin inlet came with the car. Otherwise, I agree. Maybe we will do that with a turbo upgrade. Last edited by Mowrer; 01-17-2021 at 11:06 PM. |

No problem, your project do whatever you like. I'm guessing he is stoked about it due to the sound it makes? If thats the case, a nice aftermarket bpv will make the same sound. Dont let him fall in to the rabbit hole of sound/looks vs functionality. Just my 2 cents. Looking good tho. I'm starting my dedicated track car project myself. Will only be ready for the eng from TiC in the end or next year. Wish my dad was still alive to build this beast together. Would have been a blast. Plus help with the cost haha, the block itself will set me back 13k.

I'm jealous how much progress you've made on this! Looking good. I bought a gofastbits hybrid BOV/BPV that you can adjust between atmospheric and full recirc- that might be a good choice for you so 90% of the time you can have it on recirc- then switch the psssshhhhh when you want to.

All I know is his friends will most certainly be jealous, that's an extensive amount of upgrades, and a great father/son project for sure. Hopefully it's a manual shift. I trained our children on my wife's Nissan 240.
Cheers! |

Ok... engine is in and todo list is getting shorter.
We are switching to SD. Tuner says factory MAP can do 26 PSI so we are staying with that but adding AEM IAT that will be wired with DIY PnP adapter. Adding catch can between Grimspeed AOS and inlet tube. Ordered new bearings for alternator and changing trans and rear diff fluids while it is on the jack Wired the AEM wideband with PnP type plug via rear O2 plug under TMIC. Similar to iWire design. Had bung tig welded into bellmouth. Still need defrost vent pod Last edited by Mowrer; 01-25-2021 at 05:49 AM. |

You my friend are a complete bad ass!!!!! Love It!!! Why doesn't anyone, anymore....drop that 30lbs of weight on the LF and go old school, and mount battery in trunk? Sorry that is the only 1 thing I can complain/be a internet dick about in the entire build!!!!! Cheers Car Guy Last edited by AliBenn; 01-31-2021 at 02:56 AM. |

Wow nice man, glad to see it got fired up! Congrats
Oh btw, yeah you were right about the turbo inlet. I did it last week on my car with the manifold on and it slid right in with a little pushing. Probably the hardest part was just aligning the clamps correctly. |

If we did mod the battery situation, I would go with two small lithium motorcycle batteries like the attached in parrallel. 4lbs total. I know someone that has done this with good success. https://www.amazon.com/MMG-Activated...unsoJ_GPdYQL1E |

Im curious to see if those seals are able to be replaced without pulling the rack out completly. Maybe seperate the shaft and lines and pull the drive unit out??

Wholesome as heck. Cool to see one get rescued. Don't about forget me, your other son
Fwiw my rack was also leaking, and lucas oil power steering stop leak fixed it. Maybe I should be crucified for putting that in my car, but who knows. 21k miles later and I haven't had to refill it. |

I already have the seals. So the rack comes out this week while we wait for the TBW skid plate. Wrapped the header and up-pipe, and installed the fuel pressure sensor in TGV left. |

Rack leaking(duh) A Subaru race friend said he would give me re-build kit Sweet I thought Then saw multiple vids how much of a PITA it was.......for a rack without fluid mind you I decided to have RM vendor do mine for $140(with rack removed by me) New inner ties/seals/boots all included 1day turn around ADCO in national RM vendor btw I used one that a mechanic shop recommended (Cheaper) Car sounds great!!!!! |

We had the rack out, seals replaced, and back together in about 3 hours taking our time. Not too bad a job. Having the right tools helps. All clean and getting the tune dialed in better each day. Now to get this installed this weekend. |

Sooo cool, I am inspired.
Almost done with my 2007 STI rebuild and this is awesome to see, almost the same process to a T, my son is 8 now and I am looking towards this kind of project. Congratulations on it and thank you very much for sharing the adventure. I truly appreciate it, as I’m sure by that grin on your sons face shows, he does too.
