Mikes 13' DGM WRX



Thanks guys. I'm so glad I got this position.

My long term plan is to eventually have my own custom race shop where I can design and manufacture my own parts. Along with building customer cars.

Working with John is just what I need to get my foot in the door to bigger and better things.

He also lives right down the road from me so that makes the drive easy lol
 
So I have bought a few things in the past few months.

So far I have collected these parts:

Downpipe
Intake
Synapse DV
AOS
EBCS
Bigger Top Mount Intercooler
1200cc injectors
DW65c fuel pump
Perrin turbo inlet


A few weeks ago I planned out my build a little more. I decided that I was going to redo the fuel system up front.

I will be doing larger lines into aeromotive fuel rails and an aeromotive fpr. I traded my 1200cc injectors for a set of DW 850cc injectors, since I will not be doing E85 anymore. My plan is to run an Aquamist HFS-3 methanol kit since it is honestly the only kit with a good failsafe. It actually cuts the wastegate pressure if the flow drops or the pump would happen to fail.

The meth kit will really help fight against ringland failure. To also compete with the cylinder issues, I picked up this piece today for an amazing price :)



It is an Tomei equal length header. Now I was one of those guys that would never get an equal length header due to it getting rid of the famous boxer rumble...But after coming to my senses and realizing that I would rather have a happy engine than a noise, I went with the elh. And I got it from my buddy who does part outs of wrecked subarus. I will be planning on getting an ewg uppipe for the car. I will be going with the gt-spec since it really is the only 3 bolt uppipe/ewg combo.


So with this combo I will not be running hella boost, I will most likely have it tuned for 20 pounds and leave it at that. At that level I will be in a perfect power/torque range. Not in it for the numbers but I think I should be around 320whp/350wtq. And with cylinder 2 and 4 having the header and meth to help them, it should be a very healthy engine.
 




Famous boxer rumble?
I certainly don't think "Subaru" when I hear that...
I think of Porsche
Not knocking them, I'll give credit where it's due.
I'm bothered every time I hear one though because they honesty sound like an old High compression H.O. Quad 4 when then head gasket dies...heard that sound too many times back in the day. LOL
Looks like a fun build!
