    Looks like I get to port match the the intake manifold to the aluminum spacers as well. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    The KSTech aluminum spacers came in today. Good news is the Killer B turbo inlet now fits under the intake manifold and now I have to balls up and slot the intakes bolt holes so the manifold will line up to the spacers and tgv housings. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    I just put a preorder in for this pulley and will be our having the dampr attachment when Dom gets it manufactured. I guess I like to support the small business especially since my short block was one of the last ones he built and I pre-ordered his cylinder 4 coolant mod when it first came out...

    Lol I thought you said welding not weighting. I should have but I didn't. I figure it's good for a few ounces of weight reduction lol. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    The main reason I'm not using phenolic spacers is due to the fact that they raise the fuel injector further away from the intake port of the head in Subarus. The main reason I switched plans from the long runner na intake to the short na runner intake was due to that fact. I'd at least 13-19 mm...

    I just shaved the water coolant manifold and it didn't need any welding so the above pics are the stock and shaved photos. Pretty much an easy mod anyone can do to clean up the engine bay during a rebuild. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    06 and above sti oil pan upgrade for 05 and below WRX.

    Yes I did. I believe it's a tigworks oil pick up and what was supposed to be a tomei oil baffle/brace. I'd say the baffle/brace is a Russian knock off but I guess that's what happens when you order stuff from ebay. Wasn't trying to buy knock off products. I will say I had to open the brace up...

    I did some more prep work on the intake manifold as well. I also found some KSTech aluminum spacers which were exactly what I was looking for. The pic of the spacers it directly from their site. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Putting the coolant manifold on a diet for weight loss. Just joking but this is the results of about an hour of shaving which nobody will ever notice [emoji1787] Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Thanks for the info I'll look in to doing that or possible ceramic coating it. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    06 and above sti oil pan upgrade for 05 and below WRX.

    I figured I'd make an actual thread for the oil pan upgrade I did on my 05 Sti rather then just posting it in my build thread. So the reason I went with the 06+ sti oil pan was because my equal length headers were pretty much touching the pan when I test fitted them. The attached photos are a...

    Killer B hard turbo inlet came in today. Unfortunately I have to get some spacers for my build to run the stock location turbo. The great news is I found out that KSTec makes 19mm aluminum spacers which goes between the intake and the tgvs rather then the traditional phenolic spacers that go...

    Installed an 06 up sti oil pan along with a new oil baffle/brace and pick up. I will admit I had to enlarge the baffle/brace opening along the flange of the oil pick up pipe in order to get the brace to lan up with the blocks pan bolt holes. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Thanks for the offer but I already have a set for when I originally planned on going long runner na manifold. I'm just trying to keep the injectors as close to the head as possible for better idle and tuning. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    I'm thinking he can scan an intake gasket on the cad and pump one out pretty easily if he's up to it. If not I'll use the gasket on a phenolic spacers sheet and trace it then cut, sand down the edges and drill the holes. Trying to think outside of the box best case scenario it adds more CFM to...

    I haven't ran the header yet but Im hoping it sounds great and not like a honda[emoji1787] Atm I'm trying to figure out the stupid short runner NA intake manifold which I love lol. The reason I went with the short runner was so I didn't have to use phenolic spacers like you have to with the...

    I just ordered an 06 and up Sti Oil pan since my stock 05 sti pan was a bit closer to the headers then I cared for lol. At least the 06 has a bit more clearance due to the sump design which also has better internal baffle design. I figure the 06 pan with my upgraded oil pickup and aftermarket...

    Some IAG goodies to help finish up the build. I believe the last things I need now is the fluidampr, FPR and larger fuel pump. I also have a drive shaft shop CF drive shaft in transit. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
