Robs Twinscroll S400 Build

Compliments of stretchedk7 @ www.nasioc.com

I am bored and this is the result. I bought my car new in 06 and it has been through many many changes since. Total monies invested at this point is 105k. Obviously you can duplicate it for alot less, its just all the different setups that got me where it is today were money spent. This is not my daily anymore either as you will be able to tell.

So what we all want to know first!!:

car was dom3 full bolt ons, stock 5 spd-first dyno made 330 at 14.5 psi (93 octane)

that dyno^ car had a boost issue and I decided just from the wg numbers it wasnt going to cut it so sold it for an ultimate racing 35r kit.

Car put down 380 next dyno on 93 pump. 35r plus boltons stock block. Had a perrin blow thru pipe and it was crap.

Next dyno was draw thru and no more perrin blow thru and 6 speed trans.

Car made 425 on stock block and 93 octane.

Then, ringland cracked and I built my first motor, full build more details on that later but made 430 at 18 psi. 460 at 20. 475 at 21.5 psi.

Stopped there because had bad coil packs (plural). Took car home and fixed issue and retuned myself on street to 25 psi. That put me around 505-525 on pump 93.

Now, swapping to hta86 or 42r or something of that sort and will be putting down 700-780 at 33-39 psi.

STAY TUNED FOR ALOT OF PICS AND MORE IN DEPTH TALK OF THE PROCESS AND HOW THINGS CAME TO BE ........ENJOY.

The beginning: td04, full bolt ons. Perrin fmic, 850 injectors, walbro 255, plugs. Pretty much every bolt on other than a ewg. The tow truck pics are from my first 5 speed dying. Since I bought the car I killed 2 5 speed trans (both new ones) and now i have an 07 sti trans. No issues with it yet (bought new). Car was open sourced by me when it was td04. Horsepower was 265-275. Tq was in the 350 ft lb range (22 psi).

After that, I went to the dominator 3. Heres a few pics of that  Sorry not many pics of this, they have all been erased. This is all I have.

After that, I went to the 6 speed and ultimate racing 35r kit. Car made 425 in its final trim on stock block motor. Here are the pics for that. 

I will keep the pics coming till we are all caught up on where I am at now with it. More 35r pics still havent got to built motor pics and the high hp 35r setup.

Ok so next uP will be the built motor pics and everything associated with that. Car also went to an aem ecu. Will post mod sheet.

Heres a video of making 425 on stock block. 

And that brings us to the built motor i put in it next. heres the mod list. It might have a few updated things on it but close enough.

Alright enough of the boring pics heres some videos. Then ill show what I have been getting into lately with wanting to make serious power.

Car now rocks a 5 inch wide intercooler core and custom piping I fabricated. Its 3 inch the entire way. It is mich more efficient as I picked up 3 psi without touching the boost controller. For that matter car has 18 psi spring in wg and it makes 23 psi with no boost controller. The dump pipe I run now in place of an exhaust helps alot as well as the car has some head light mods. Maybe ill post pics of them later.

Many ppl said it was imporrible to get 3 inch piping to fit with stock size battery but as usual "impossible" just meant moderately difficult at best. Stainless steel piping seems to be much better as far as heat dissipation as well. Theres about 2200$ in fabbing up the intercooler from start to finish. I had ets (extreme turbo systems) to build me the end tanks.

3 big daddy fuel pumps coming soon and some -12 feed line. no more fuel issues. im over it

More updates.

 

trans was new in this video ^ had a kb short throw. I hated it. just recently got rid of it.

 

5/1/12

Started pricing up the 3rd revision of fuel system. Plan was twin 340's and stainless steel lines. That is no longer the plan. I will post pics when I get parts in.

5/4/12


Ordered 10 foot of -12 stainless steel fuel line and a few fittings to get started on fuel system. Will be 2 Bosch 044pumps feeding a aeromotive eliminator fuel pump and -12 from there to the front of car. Sweet











5/5/12

Some pics of the intercooler fabricated.































5/9/12

ok so here is the updates.

Removed bumper, bumper beam and a few other hoses and brackets for tow hooks and hoses were from charcoal canister iin rear of car....the fuel tank fume deal.











9/3/12

I need tp update this.

motor is out, sleeved block is being built. Turbo is being swapped to hta86/6766/gt42r fuel system is going to be 2 in tank walbros and one inline aeromotive eliminator











12/1/12

Aebs/ same as la I believe.

Will add pics when I get home in 6 days.

Moore performance is building the twin scroll header and up pipe. Using twin wastegate.

Turbo is bought and Moore performance has it. Borgwarner s400 billet wheel. Flows 95 lb/min

Will expect power to be over 750 easily on e85.
Spare tire well is getting covered up with metal sheet. Fuel cell will be mounted.

Then Weldon pump or magna fuel pump and -12 feed line to engine bay.

Started assembling sleeved block about 7 days ago. Will post pics ASAP. 

12/8/12

More pics. Sending valves to swaintech for coatings. When I dissasembled the old motor the piston coatings literally looked new. Going to reuse the valves just clean and coat. They look great.





Heres clutch disc and turbo fittings. those eagle rods are for back up motor.









few pics of the intercooler since its off the car obviously.
