@Xenoviathewrx I never have...and if it's installed correctly it shouldn't affect the driveability

@nightconceptproduction8299 It's not completely stock, It's a bone stock Subaru shortblock, and I had Outfront motorsports do a drop in CP forged piston that they have spec'd for new EJ25 blocks. So all bearing clearance and rods are stock. I'm now at about 550whp with new setup, same motor here

@ how much did you have to pay for that if you don’t mind me asking you ?

@nightconceptproduction8299 if you take them a brand new EJ shortblock, I believe pistons and installation were about $800. I used to live by Outfront and had several shortblocks with this done. Highly recommended!

@stock.cars.2ned My car is an STi, so port injection, I only have a low pressure fuel pump. Most direct injection cars like your 2022 WRX will hit the limit on the HPFP before the in tank fuel pump, especially on Ethanol. But I'm not too informed on the FA engine limitations. Sorry

@@D-TunedGarage Thanks, i forget STI is ej and port injection only.

Yes, sir, I've done some 30psi pulls recently to log and check over my tune for a dyno day I'm trying to set up. Engine is a stock EJ257 with ARP 625+ studs and a CP drop-in forged piston from Outfront Motorsports. Turbo is a Blouch 3.5xtr with a 10cm exhaust housing. It is basically all the bolt in parts on a STi engine addressing the weak point of the piston. I will try and make a clearer explanation of all parts in an upcoming video.

@@PeterHernandez-lg2eh you asking what is better?

@opticsmedia.official That was why I made the video. I always heard of people fitting it but never found a explanation of it. I don't mind questions at all.

How did it work for you? What did you modify? And did it stutter at all?

@Xenoviathewrx you shouldn't be modifying anything on the housing other than setting up the hanger for hardwire with the two studs

@@D-TunedGarage how do I make studs? Rn I'm just using the plug. Could that cause my stuttering?

@Xenoviathewrx That is absolutely dangerous and should not be done. That pump will melt the wires and can cause a 🔥. Radium sells a simple stud kit

@opticsmedia.official the kit i installed was actually for a 2002-2007 chasis. From a buddies car. But get the year for your car cause I'm sure the lengths are different

@@opticsmedia.official iwireusa.com/products/fuel-pump-controller-hardwire-kit-in-tank-single-pump Just choose the chasis and the fuel pump hanger your using.

@@EMMANUELIWUOHA. Sorry to let you down....My buddy in the BMW said he is sorry as well. 🤣

@mishaisspeed was my buddies 1st drag race...haha. He did pretty good aside from sleeping on the launch

@@D-TunedGarage fair

You can run TGVs, I doubt it would affect hp that much.

@@D-TunedGaragemen I tuned mine and I was about 100hp less and on the Cobb the converted load doesn’t go above 2.85 🤦🏻‍♂️ probably is the turbo then?

@@edgartorres1413 should definitely go above 2.8 g/rev

@@D-TunedGaragei know right, we are thinking stuck TGV or bad turbo but is weird because it doesn’t smoke or burn oil

@@edgartorres1413 that sucks, always a snag. 😢

Well like I said in the video, a wire was already ran through there. So It didn't make sense to make another hole in another grommet. That wire is as sealed as your gonna get, there is always a chance of water intrusion when your making holes for wires and such coming into the cab. It rains a fair amount here and have yet to have an issue. So choose another spot if you don't feel comfortable with what you see.

@@D-TunedGarage I ended up using the same spot. I'll just add some RTV to help seal it.

@@D-TunedGarage I have everything installed, pump aint running. I have quadruple checked everything is correct from looking at your video, iwire's video, and their written instructions. I'm getting no voltage to the pump. I have battery power to the bypass module, I have voltage from the addafuse when key'd on. Not sure where to go with this and their CS is gone until tomorrow. I don't hear the relay click and I have my ECU commanding 100% pump. I've posted about it on the forums as well. The OEM setup was working fine just the day before.

​@fritopendejo1933 I'm sorry your having issues but if you wanna reach out on Facebook feel free to dm me facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089505174485&mibextid=ZbWKwL

@@jonathandyang wish you the best of luck...if you have any questions feel free to reach out

@Craiggg12345 had ARP bolts 2000s, jumped to ARP625+ but didn't go firelock gaskets yet. After messing with the tune on the new setup, I believe It was too aggressive timing on the spool up that pushed the gasket a little. So far I'm making more power on the 625+ and just adjusted my tuning for a softer timing map on spool

@JermJermFlores I would say obviously depends on state and depends on the shop. High flow cat meets emission requirements in most states that use federal standards. Removal of the pump would not fall under being ok in any state but inspection is not strict in my state and I have it pass every year as you see in the video

@@D-TunedGarage what program are u running to run flex fuel? Is it open source still?

Give you an idea, I live in shit California. My STI has a Cobb intake, up pipe and their 20g turbo (all carb legal with stickers), ETS TMIC, killer b headers, 1050 injectors and 340 fuel pump, STOCK downpipe, IAG AOS, Koyo radiator and pro tune. I’m still hesitant to try to smog it legally. I got it hot smogged last year. I read the AOS or pro tune may be a disqualified.

@@Craiggg12345 AOS street is carb compliant , bring the sticker. A protune would clean up the A/F and should make that pass if its dialed in right.

Do you know if they check ECU for 2nd pump> otherwise i would just "fake" mount it when you do the delete and go in for the inspection.

@tstandsforturbo I made the video explaining in detail about the Iwire kit but am having computer issues editing the video. Stay tuned it's coming though...thanks for watching

@denniswilliams3993 Unfortunately I did not make a video of the install of my I wire kit but I don't mind making one. If you have any specific questions I can answer I have no problem doing so

I know it’s not recommended but I tried to use oem plugs and pump prime but I had no fuel pressure nothing melted just No pressure any suggestions? Not sure if an oring Wa not in right or not.. also had difficulty getting it to fully seat on clips

@denniswilliams3993 did you use the clip off the oem pump on the bottom like I did in the video? Also I know I didn't remove the fuel pump in the video but I stated I cut about 1/4 inch off the top nipple to allow the pump to fully seat

I did remove about a 1/4” and mine wasn’t oem it was a dw65c from previous owner but I did use a clip off of it I think my wiring may be in the way of it fully seating.. have to disassemble again and have a look

I use a plastic gauge that came in a timing belt kit I had installed a long time ago, I just saved it and always use that for clearance. But I do not remove the guides on the timing covers when disassemble and reassemble. I do set the clearance on the crank every time with the same plastic spacer that I have.

Would take a Cobra Mustang just to have a fair match, pretty good for a car made to dice corners 😂

38mm Turbosmart on a Grimmspeed external wastegate up-pipe

Yes it has a 3" Perrin inlet. I did end up tossing in a set of I think 8mm phenolic spacers. They are not needed, I built my buddies engine the same way with a 3" Perrin inlet no phenolic spacers, it just gets tight.

@@D-TunedGarage Yeah, I just tried to install the inlet first and then squeeze the TGV, inlet deformed a bit but not as bad as I expected. Cheers! Will be looking for more advices as I progress 🙂

Yeah, depending on the dyno but you should be able to hit the 500whp depending on how aggressive the tune and supporting mods in the 26-30psi area. Have you bought the turbo yet?

@@D-TunedGarage not yet, getting the smaller stuff first to build the engine first, hopefully Ill have enough money left to actually buy it lmao

@@mitch2456 I'd look into Blouch's new generation turbos. They don't sacrifice spool and can make good power. They are the G2R models

The machine straight edge only has 1 side that machine true flat so I can't flip it. I appreciate the insight

@@D-TunedGarage Sounds like you had good results though. And having the straight edge calibrated helps know it’s flat for sure. Most people skip this step all together, glad to see someone is taking the time to make sure it’s flat.

It's the Stage 1 HD. It's rated high like 460/480wtrq. This is a daily driver so I didn't wanna go twin disk. But the way the car rips tires into 2nd and the banging of every other shift its doing great at this power level. Been beating on this clutch for over 2 yrs. Still looked good when I removed it

That's not flat foot shifting in this video. I stopped using it cause I feel like I can do it faster just shifting my normal way. If you watch my flat foot shifting video you can audibly hear the gap on shifting with it when it cuts to antilag to hold boost

@D-TunedGarage gosh dang you are flying through them gears then! You know your fast when I thought you were flat-foot shifting haha.

@codyhendrickson7735 LOL. Thanks. My co workers always ask what the hell I am doing cause of the way I drive. I just tell then I dunno clutch in move gear shifter and clutch out. While I'm doing that let off the gas pedal. Thanks for watching the video and commenting. Appreciate it 👍

Edit: I think i understand the question. I was never able to find a merpmod flex fuel map for my car. I ended up going with Dimemod based on a friends recommendation. I have not enabled the flex fuel yet but I have the software to try it.

​@@D-TunedGaragegot you, thanks for answering my question. Regarding dimemode I also have it on my car and other cars around. How do you connect flexfuel sensor to tgv/lambda2, using some wiring kit or just llug it straight to the connector?

@ArtemBuiltRacing I was looking at the options that dime mod allows you to use for the flex fuel input. Looks like you can take your choice of either TGV, rear 02 sensor or the MAF sensor if you converted to speed density. I was gonna use the TGV but I'm trying to simplify wiring so I might be doing something custom

​@@D-TunedGarageIve seen on nasioc forum that flex sensor need some kind of module to convert hertz signal to 0-5v in order to get it working with ECU, is that true?

@@ArtemBuiltRacing Yes. I ended up buying an old cobb module that was pre-green speed because they are basically worthless to people wanting to run cobb. Their module takes the ethanol sensor and converts it to a linear 0-5v output the dime mod will recognize.

Factory ECU tuned on Open Sourced with TinyWrex patch

@@D-TunedGarage so does it have flat foot shift? or are you just like power shifting

​@BlessedSubie On this video, I was using flat foot shifting. But I honestly feel like it's slower than me shifting the way I do. It cuts ignition when the clutch switch is pressed in. That's the gap you hear in this video, I never let off the gas pedal in this video.

I dont know what you do with your car, but I intend on having all the fun out of my cars. That's what I've always done and will continue to do. I have enough knowledge to know anything can take a motor out. I've seen plenty of built motors blow with far less power. This motor has been going for over 1 yr with me beating the living shit out of it. I've gotten my money out of it already.

@@D-TunedGarage how many miles have u put on it tho? cuz 450whp on an sti is straight up tragic i mean if its not a daily then its whatever

@colinmusgrave I have multiple cars, but I have been daily driving this car over the last year and it's seen over 20lbs of boost on the blouch 20g since day 1 and was set over 400whp for the last year. It's now about 500whp for several months now. Car has seen like 7-10k miles since it was built. This is not my 1st Subaru motor I built. My buddies car is same basic setup, making 485whp and has been running great for over 3 yrs

@@colinmusgrave Why you just straight up hating bro? This car is sick and sounds insane.

View is from the EJ20x STi

You can tee into anywhere before the pressure regulator. Once it goes into the regulator the pressure is dropped to relatively nothing

How much power you end up making?

I actually found out the gas station had somehow mixed up gasoline with their E85 pump. So the plugs were not the issue. Also OEM plugs are NGK plugs I don't remember if they are iridium or double platinum but that is too hot of a plug to be running at this power level

If your still blowing out spark at .023 at 24psi I would be looking at replacing coils. Or maybe you got some of the counterfeit NGK plugs I've seen people talking about

@@D-TunedGarage yeah I'm not sure. I did replace coils but I went back to OEM as in NGK Iridium SILFR6A haven't had a problem. I'm at 419/409. Very well could have gotten some bad plugs but I got them at O'Reilly's so idk.

@walterbaldwin3643 Well I'm glad you got it figured out. Always happy to hear an issue got resolved. I'm sure the car is a blast

When this motor was originally put together over 1 yrs ago I installed an Exedy Stage 1 HD. That's what's in the car now. I cannot speak to what a stock clutch can handle

@j.p.3972 I am sure it's dependent on how you drive. Im sure the way I drive I could kill a stock clutch on 300whp 🤣

Stock clutch was angry with any launch at 300wheel. Went to 400 wheel and upgraded to Xclutch organic HD. No problems now 😁

Good, just been working crazy OT. Trying to make it to the dyno and line up a race I wanna get done

@@D-TunedGarage nice, good to hear. Looking forward to seeing more!

How hard are you pushing the walbro 450 and is the 525 the same size

@@benjaminphantomhive Walbro 525 is the same size as the 450. I've read a single 450 can get you to about 600whp. But I have not maxed one out, so I can't speak from experience.

If you run it through the factory wiring and connector it will more than likely melt the wiring or damage the Fuel pump controller. Make sure you do a hardwire on it either I wire or custom

@@D-TunedGarage I bought 2 installation kits the one MAP recommended was dw and just the universal installation walbro has just incase 😂

@@JermJermFlores hell yeah, if you have any questions hit me back up

@@D-TunedGarage will do 😂 so probably within the next few days

Lol, basically same thing. I-Phone.

@@D-TunedGarage 😂😂

I might, but it's dialed in pretty close, so it should just smooth out the AFR when the fuel pressure cleans up.

Yes, I currently have it in the car and will post videos of what I saw and how it changed everything for the better. Im making well over 500whp no problem, rock solid fuel pressure!

I also wanted to ask where does that connection up top connect to? I’m planning to run it just like you meanwhile I save up for that radium hanger!

@sergiosegovia7845 I have a I-wire hardwire kit so it has its own connection. It no longer uses the factory connector on the top of the fuel pump housing

The biggest thing I have seen that keeps a gasket of any kind is cleaning the surfaces very well. Also only use OEM gaskets, I've used aftermarket gaskets and they always seem to leak. The silicone only can do its job when the surface its put on is very clean and dry. Any oil or debris will let the silicone dry without grabbing the surface. If it doesn't get a good bond to the metal oil can seep by

@@D-TunedGarage I used felpro gadgets in the past, didn't seat correctly, and the "recommended" procedure is not to use any sealant on the gaskets area🤷🏽. With that said, when I do it again 🙄, where under the STI 6M should I place the jack cuz I've gotta lift the engine to get to the lower back valve cover bolts? I just HAD to have a Subaru.....

@vannevels6758 Felpro gaskets are not good for Subaru valve covers. I've used felpro and lots of aftermarket brands, and they just don't do the job. Remove the dog bone from under the intercooler and the motor mount nuts and I use a little 6" 2x4 piece of wood and you can lift from the transmission pan, the front diff drain bolt area or even the oil pan. Just make sure the dog bone and motor mounts bolts/nuts are removed

@@D-TunedGarage ok, 😎

I have FIC 1650cc
