    GR RDKLSTi ? 518whp/492wtq (MD) 2008 STi

    Thanks guys! The breather box setup that Navid fabbed for me is nearly the same setup that he runs on his 8 second K20 powered Civic EG, which by the way he built from the ground up. It's not identical of course, he designed it to fit snugly into the battery location of my engine bay, where his...

    Pics taken while fabbing the breather box. Complete, just needs the valve installed once its in the engine bay. We didn't purchase the BPV adapter kit from TurboXS, no problem though. A little aluminum, some welding and Navid's skills sorted all of that out. Navid fabbed 3"...

    I was a bit curious about why the FMIC core had mounting holes welded to it since it didn't come with a support beam, so I called TurboXS and they informed me that the kit was supposed to come with one. They asked that I contact the vendor I purchased the kit from so they could arrange getting...

    Re: riDEEKulous STi - #HELLAMEATY | SSR / FP Black / AquaMist / Tomei / etc Vermont, none of that was directed towards you, I only quoted you to try to answer your question about where Gino was going with his posts. :thumbsup:

    Yep, makes sense. We did a leakdown test, results were posted a few pages back. As far as trusting Edwin, I have no reason not to (more on this below). Flames? That's a bit of an exaggeration, Gino. The crank bolt was "loosened up before shipping to allow the crank pulley to move and...

    Good deal... that being said, good cold compression test results could really only mean things are mechanically sound. If someone got crappy results on a cold test, they should definitely do a warm test before digging deeper. :tup:

    LOL, good to know. :lol: Can you elaborate a little on cold vs warm compression test differences? I did a quick search (while at work /shame) and there wasn't anything too technically substantial that jumped out and bit me.

    @Gino, Not sure where your reply went in this thread, but I got the email notification containing your post... Yeah, neither of us had pulled a Subaru engine before... he can do K swaps on Hondas all day, 3 fully swapped and running in a day is his max right now I think. He wanted to pull...

    Thanks, I definitely would have preferred Swaintech over the wrapping, but didn't allow enough time for the 3+ week turnaround. Phase two... ;)

    Good to know, thanks! :tup: I'll keep your request in mind, I do have a local buddy that wants to purchase it as well because his turbo seals are giving out. I'm not sure how serious he is about purchasing, so I'll keep you posted. It's more than likely going to be a few weeks or so until I...

    Thanks, its a little slow going, but its still going... who knows though, the builder just smashed his thumb really bad today while installing an axle on a BMW that was there for a total suspension overhaul. He smashed it so hard between a rubber mallet and the axle that this thumb actually...

    I'll be selling off parts I don't intend to use in the future once the build is done and deemed stable. The VF48 is on that list. ;)

    Cleaning up the exhaust ports. We stayed a little late and got the EGT bung welded on the header. I started wrapping it, but ran out of material... more is on the way.

    Stopped by the shop yesterday to see parts were making their way onto the engine assembly. We're getting there slowly but surely. He runs a one-man shop and doesn't cut corners at all, so I'm OK with it taking a hair longer (Navid, if you read this note that I said a "hair", not a wig ;))...

    Re: riDEEKulous STi - #HELLAMEATY | SSR / FP Black / AquaMist / Tomei / etc.. I hope so, definitely looking forward to it. Ran into a snag... overcame easily though. Based on how the engine was shipped (tie-downs over the crank pulley) there was damage to the pulley and the key. We...
