The Little Red Impreza That Could Is Back.
Remember me? Well i blew my headgaskets a bunch of times and now I am upgrading. Using DOHC JDM heads instead of SOHC heads and using a much larger turbo.
Pics!
My car has been on stands for a month. Boo to rare JDM headgaskets that take WAY to long to get here.
While it was sitting I upgraded the brakes with WRX size rotors and calipers, also threw on a stock WRX exhaust (quiet)
The ej18 block and ej20g heads waiting to be put together with ARP studs.
VF39 STi Turbo
QTP cutout!
Switch for the cutout..
Doing custom work to the ECU to make it rev to...well whatever i want it to.
lost....
Heart of the beast..
thats it for now. Since the last time I updated I painted my FMIC black, got sti 550cc injectors and up'd the boost a little to much for the headgaskets i was using. still beat a lot of cars haha. stay tuned.

do i sense haters all ready? for shame. diaf.
the heads are meant to spin to 8k, they do that with the stock ej20g block.
the redline on the ej18 block was 6250. its gona be 7000 now, not much of a difference and definitly not dangerous. i hope. hah
