Congrats on the house and baby! I really look forward to seeing this car done

thanks Shawn!

quick release boost brace will be used for the primary turbo to intercooler pipe since its a 2"-3" coupler.


Everything else, we'll go with a 3" vibrant vanjen clamp for cleaner look and stronger connection

Are you running that split sec setup?

yes, we will be using it to run the port injectors.

From what I read in their site it's a separate tuned setup via laptop. What control is there over when the fuel is activated and how accurately it can be injected?

Splitsec is very similar to mega/microsquirt controller.

its an independent fuel controller.

On my set-up, it will only activate during high rpm/high boost and turn off below that set rpm/boost level.

they're pretty accurate....and been used for years by race cars....

Just some few updates:

Well only another 47 heatshields to fab and a gajillion miles of wiring to sort. Due to the tons of hot tubing inside the engine bay, melting of important wiring is the biggest concern.

The oil drains are now .085" wall aluminum tubing, the power steering system and reservoir was relocated and reservoir swapped out for a WRX reservoir.

The water neck on the top of the radiator was changed because it was rubbing and the glass coolant tube and charge pipe weren't parallel to each other.

Mounted the secondary fuel pressure regulator directly to the rail instead of on the frame (that's a no-no as per racing rules). Now working on a bracket for the fuel pressure damper that has been free hanging on the DI pump thus far.

Brackets are getting welded to the top of the intercooler core since it precluded the use of the crash beam, there is nothing holding the top of the front bumper cover and it flops around

The pass thru for the engine harness between the primary header and the low pressure turbine feed is the trick here, it's fabbed from aluminum chargepipe tubing with a flare mouth aimed at the radiator fan to not only heatshield, but aircool the insulated harness

nice update

for got about this build

Awesome build.

two EGT probes on exhaust manifold will be used to monitor heat

power steering relocated.....and Subaru reservoir will be used instead.

Still can't wait to see the power curves on this thing

sub'd

WERKS Race Intercooler w/ vibrant 3" vanjen clamp kits to make sure that the charge pipes will not pop open during 40+++ psi of boost :)

This round of changes will have the 2ndary fuel system wired and active, and will start pushing manifold pressure beyond DI capability(with respect to fueling). If everything behaves as planned then dyno tuning will begin. Only concern at this point is where will the MAF peg. At that point ignition will be static even though the load is increasing



Also building a nice, neat panel that will have the fueling controller, LED controller, the 3 backpressure sensors, tach adapter and the AEM water/meth controller
and the aeroforce EGT box

custom lay-down radiator from scratch! :)
its actually 60 degree forward set-up

had to add the tabs to hold the fan on with screws
and move the radiator neck cause it was just to damn close to the charge pipe

Are you saying that you are afraid of maxing the MAF sensors frequency output? If so, don't worry about that. It will function correctly well beyond your requirements.

ok Matt, thanks for the info!

personally I never really pushed the ecotec MAF to its max....so I have no idea.

You guys, have the experience with it

WRX power steering reservoir relocated waaaay to the other side of the engine

I'm liking the sudden burst of updates here haha

Sub'd

first year = zero done on the car both by SMG and BTF

the following year = it slowly started moving. Dealing with multiple vendors is not a good idea. So summer of last year, I just decided to just have one...and had BTF pick up the car and bring the car to his garage.

and then BTF had a new business, and got busy early this year, and just working on my car a few hours a week. Project was really moving slow.

But for the past few weeks, he decided to take a full two weeks off from his full time job to focus on my build and plan to finally finish it....and dyno tune it afterwards

that's why lots of updates lately :)











anywho.....



battery and fuse box will be relocated.
this is the area where the air filter will be positioned.

NOTE: only the GT4294r will have an air filter. The GT2871r, instead of an air filter, will have a charge pipe connected to the compressor outlet of the big turbo. All the compressed air will be pushed to the compressor inlet of the small turbo. The small turbo will re-compress the already compressed air .......that's what is the compounding takes place! :)


Attachment 30407


if I still have extra money, BTF will be able customize me a CF air intake w/ filter......

since BTF finally wanted to finish this project.........he took two weeks off from his full time job.



here's what he accomplished in two weeks up to date:

Street/Dynotuning (estimated, about 2hrs so far)
Build double pass radiator and mounts
Fabricate intercooler piping/Vanjen refit
Construct 2nd fuel system, re-fab cell,
route hoses under vehicle, re-fab fuel rail for FPR mounting
Remove, prep, sand, powdercoat turbos, charge pipes
Tear down turbo kit, deliver to swaintech
Reinstall turbo kit
Solve lack of bracketry for fuel pressure accumulator
relocate power steering reservoir/fab all necessary brackets
Fabricate drain tube for low pressure turbo , .085 wall 6061
layout and plumb all oil feed and water cooling lines from engine to turbo
wrap, or fab heatshieliding for most hoses, harnesses
Fabricate exhaust from supplied components, hang on car
remove backbone plate, install harness and oil in transmission
Reinstall said plate, install the clutch line. “Bleed” clutch
Fabricate,clean,pressure test -an hoses. Lots of them lol!
Fabricate radiator shrouding, relocate PS cooler
Install hood,fenders,lip etc .
Weld up the holes in intake manifold, powdercoat
Install intake manifold on car, solve design flaws WRT fit




then here's the remaining stuff to do........then dyno tuning begins:

Remove Cryo2 system
Remove old boost controller
Install Eboost 2
Install Aeroforce gauges
Install aeroforce EGT add on kit w probes
Install pressure sensor kits for turbines
Remount water injection system to suit new build

remove ducts from bumper cover
rewire Killerglass LED's away from heat and for new location
Remount control box for LED's in panel
Remount AEM water/meth control box in panel
Fabricate panel box for electrical components
prep&powdercoat coil cover, power steering res brackets
layout and plumb all pneumatic wastegate lines
Weld boost braces to TB, machine steel peg for compressor side
Custom machine -10 AN tee to fit in OEM drain return
Trim, install turbine blankets
Rework AMP and trunk battery locations to fit Fuel cell (scary under that rug!)

Replace broken fender liner, conform with heat gun to turbo kit
Relocate fuse block and battery/cables for starter
Fabricate bolt on stand for Fuse block
Fabricate air cleaner/intake to low pressure turbo
