Hmmm Boost Is So So Sweet

[sinistaGTR]

Well.....

My gf and i bought a rex together for her, picked it up the sarvo. 99 model 59k kms, forged pistons and sti rods, other than that standard and i put the exhaust on the sarvo. As my r33 is still bein rebuilt (at the machinist atm so waiting for the block and its done finally hopin in the next week or two and its finished), i havent actually had any boost in bout 7 months. So i took the wrx for a very conservative run in the hills just then, and it was so so sweet that feeling of boost again oh boy theres goin to be a cruise soon as the r33s ready i cant wait. But as i said hmmmm boost is so so sweet......

Yes the forced induction feeling is nice. An N/A drive is boaring.

Oh i don't........... they certainly know how a box works

LOL @ Deluxe

Not a case of "missing" boost, but with the highflow installed last week, and the all important extension of my seat rails - cheers Pete, Im loving this "new and improved" boost! hahaha

sad but true, highflows are just so suited to Stageas. hell, Im even experiencing loss of AWD traction

now thats a first for me.

hoped the rebuilt '33 goes well, good luck with the runin

i drove my 33 on monday to regency on factory boost and ecu, i was so happy just to feel the boost and power.

even tho it was nothing compared to before

i have an addiction to BOOST... ect.

[mr_rbman]

my mrs has wanted a rex for as long as i can remember, she'll be so jealous. If its blue she'll wanna come steal it!

[sinistaGTR]

haha mine was the same, i finally convinced her they didnt cost like 30g lol and its dark blue with gold rims lol its great cause its the girly car but i dont feel like a fag driving it lol

not being nasty, but good luck with the gearbox.

whatever you do dont stick anything other then the standard clutch in it.

a mate has spent more money on replacement gearboxs and rebuilt gearboxes with dog gears etc then what he payed for the car. (im not joking)

and any work you get on the trans has absolutely NO Waranty.

2 days later Bang! another $5000 ouch.

Hence now he has sold the car and purchased a nissan.

Just be carefull is all im saying.

[sinistaGTR]

Yeh i realise this lol, but im keeping it standard except for the 3" zorst. it has had the 1st-4th syncros replaced in it and has a sti clutch in it. My gf wont be launching it or smashing it into gear i have been teaching her to be very careful with the gearbox, but thanks anyway :-) .

For that kind of money in broken box's, wouldn't they have been better off upgrading it to an STi 6 speed? From what I know these are meant to be a lot stronger than the POS that's in every other WRX.

where did you get your hiflow done Tangles?

where did you get your hiflow done Tangles?

I think he went East Coast Andrew! Sounded like a fare deal too! Would prob be cheaper than the ATS option! But would ring ATS to comape tho!

Turbo, a R33 bush bearing highflow, from Sliding Performance - from Aaron (Slide) here on the forums.

Great bargain IMO.

[Mike_]

How much did it cost you ?

[Tangles]

Hey lads.

see: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...131723&st=0

Thats the info for Aarons Sliding Performance highflow turbochargers, with prices on the 1st page. Although you must check the availability tho, he's a busy man.

I supplied a shagged R33 turbo to be highlfowed (thanks Bunta), and I had a shagged R32 turbo on hand too (was an ebay highflowed VG30 turbo, LOL, not - I got jipped). Aaron gave me a decent deal for the supply of 2 turbos, the R33 for the highflow and the R32 simply for his stock.

[Madaz]
