When I made the spread sheet they were that cheap. Now the prices have gone retarded.
I was pricing out valve train the other day and found that for some reason Ti valves are the same price, but the locks have doubled in price???
I know particular countries are buying up all the Ti for military reasons, but why leave one part the same price and double the price of another?
Due to lack of available info and ignorant people I can't determine if it can be attributed to the alloy matrix or not.
Say the valves are chaeper because they ahve a mix of 6/4 AL/V and the locks are more pure with a 3/2.5 mix (just a guess at what alloy mix may be used) which would make them cost a wee bit more. But really, what the hell? Did (fake) oil prices effect the refinery of the Titanium, aluminum or vanadium (amoung the other tinny bits of metals that may make up the alloy like chromium, columbium, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum) that much last year for them to feel the need to double prices on particular parts as has been done?
WTF People just suck! (But don't always inhale as our former douche stated)

Re: Twin Turbo EG33 Build - cozykat

Heh, if we are talking about cometics... the website that we ordered from was listing them at a much lower price due to the fact that they didnt bother updating it... thus when orders were placed they still honored them which is very nice of them... so they were losing money with our purchases. I guess after 3 or 4 orders they decided it was enough

COOLING IS AWESOME!!!

hehe.

Yes, I do plan on installing in intercooler (and expect the piping to be the "fun" part). I play with the idea of meth injection because its so bloody hot in texas. Right now I am more concerned with getting the engine built exactly as I want... then I will run NA for a bit while things break in properly. It all just takes time and money.

So my project is still in the works! I know! Its been forever but I'm trying to graduate next week and my master's project has eaten all my free time.. plus with the master's in EE, I will finally start making the money this project really needs.

ps. I am also swapping to an 08' STI oil pump and getting a fluidamphrharmonic balancer / crank pulley.. they are the AWESOME but pricey (like ~$370)

Re: Twin Turbo EG33 Build - cozykat

I'm glad to hear it.

Your engine will never make real numbers after all that money sunk into it without the charge cooling.

There's nothing really stopping you putting in both meths/water injection in addition to some sort of cooler.

BTW Marisa, you will probably get a bigger Front mount intercooler to fit by cannabalising the front bumper, but this will mean long piping with all the drawbacks that entails. However, if you were to emulate the Top Mount type used by the Legacy GT, the air slot in the hood will suit the SVX, and shout out the fact it is turbocharged.

It will only decrease the stock 230bhp by ~4% (or ~9bhp) and I probably will not notice since the block will be bored, have head work, etc to improve flow.
Subscribed.
This compression what what I will choose on my EZ30R going in my Impreza when I turbo it later down the road for the same reason. Though I have my mind set on a single GT40R twinscroll with a light hot side to spool somewhere in the 4-4.5Krpm range to have it when I want but not have to boost all day. I'd love to twin turbo a second SVX if I got one as I'd like to leave this one as an NA build so I'll be eager to see how you route things and what does/doesnt' work. GOOD LUCK!

Yeah, I am still struggling with myself if I want a FMIC or TMIC. I like the legacy's subdued look.. heck I love the impreza RS hoods too! lol However, I have also contemplated getting the other svx open mouth bumper from Dayle..

Well for what it's worth I'll offer my opinion. You would be best suited by using the system that works best, rather than go for style or looks.

That will be dictated by the highest pressure you intend to run, plus the efficiency of the cooler you install. There are plenty of experienced turbo people here who will probably agree that the FMIC has major advantages in terms of size and air throughput, putting it as front runner if your ultimate goal is horsepower. They will still have the disadvantages of long feed pipes though.

The Legacy style looks neat, and will work perfectly well if you buy an efficient one. However, to make one work in the SVX it will take more than just a slot in the hood. There is not enough clearance. You would need a 'bump' in the hood under the air slot to accommodate the cooler. Personally I think this would look the proverbial dog's b.......x, but it is extra bodywork.

Best of luck with the deliberation.

Joe

Re: Twin Turbo EG33 Build - cozykat

Front mount will keep it in the high pressure stream of airflow and be more efficient than a top mount. Not to mention the added costs of having to modify the hood.

Re: Twin Turbo EG33 Build - cozykat

cn: I'm back on the project.

I got preoccupied with completing my master's project to graduate in August and then shortly afterward, getting a job. Exiting my student job (training my replacement) and now starting my new job has taken a bit of a toll on me and my time.

Free time that I did have, I spent working on other people's cars (cars they needed to get to work yesterday). Also I got to help put together a ej205/257 hybrid in my friend's wrx so I feel a bit better about putting my block back together.

Now things are looking steady and I'm ready to refocus on my car. So my first task is to remember where I left off and then I will update as I progress.

p.s. I do not know if I have mentioned this before but I am considering meth injection as an added cooling method because texas is ridiculously hot.

Congratulations at completing the project and especially getting a job!!

It's great to hear you are back on building your car again.

A hot Texas babe in a hot Texas SVX. What's not to look forward to??
