Hey Dan nice work so far,but answer this can UEL headers work with your setup?

[tangcla]

the things i would do for a WRC Blue liberty...

+1 to what he said.

You know how tempted I was to get my car resprayed when they fixed the hail damage...

i doubt it, as far as i now the twinscrolls only work properly with the EL headers. I was thinking about switching to single scroll setup to get the boxer rumble but there is too much work involved so went for the best twinscroll setup i could find, which is the vf36 imho. I can get 2 more if anyone is looking for one

[Sonic]

Thought so..oh well,i can get a bunch of name brand headers but dont know which one to go with...sigh

[legacydan]

Get standard one ported, they would be more than adequate for your vf37, i got a nice standard ported up pipe and headers for mine

[legacydan]

small update on this, car has been in getting work done for the last week, came across problems with the spec c headers and uppipe don't bolt on, the up pipe/headers join is in a different position to the standard ones so there is clearance issues with them and they need to be modified. Also going to replace the centre cat section with a straight through section so its more free flowing. Hopefully to have the car back by end of next week. and then get it remapped. Driving a diesel Avensis until i get it back , oooh the torque steer!

Twinscroll is where it's at mate, plus equal length for uber power!

[legacydan]

yep, i wanted to keep the twinscroll setup as its great for road use. Mechanic said he could get the stock headers and up pipe to work with the vf36 but the Spec C headers are a lot bigger in comparison so better choice in using them instead.

[Gambit]

Yes i you look at the response and power some of the aftermarket twinscroll turbos coming from the states generate, its pretty impressive, if i had of known i would have gone twinscroll for sure. But oh well.

[legacydan]

mine wont be huge power figures since its still a factory turbo ill be using just a bigger one! at least after this ill be able to upgrade to any sti twinscroll turbo since ill have the new headers up pipe and downpipe to suit. Im sure ill get bored with the VF36 in a few months!

[legacydan]

car has been running fine recently, driving it off boost until i get it remapped, finally managed to get Ecutek off it today and will get an open source tune done sometime this week and hopefully will be flying then!

[legacydan]

haven't updated here in a while, still not entirely finished mapping yet, knew i had a leak somewhere so i heard the turbo inlet pipe can be a weak spot so i ordered a replacement Perrin one. Could have gotten it in red or blue but i thought i would stick with the black one to keep it stealth.



old one with a bit of a tear in it:



Hopefully that was the thing messing up the airmass readings . Reset the ecu and will log a bit to see if it made a difference.

[Gambit]

gezz thats a fairly significant tear! Hopefully that sorts out your issues. GL

Very nice work with the Legacy mate.

Keen to see how it all goes with the VF36 and what it makes.

[legacydan]

yep i doubt the pipe went like that in the 2 months the new turbo has been fitted, mechanic must have seen that when he was working on it an though it was ok to re-use. will check the logs later but it already feels like its fixed my problem. fingers crossed it has!
