Hey guys,

Scott over at Insight Motorsport is doing a great job of tuning our 2.5L WRX on E85 race fuel.

Currently it now up to 260 KW at the wheels on 12psi only and at 6000rpm.The turbo is an HKS 3037s with a 1.12 a/r rear on it.The HKS gate is struggling to hold boost also so we are looking at upgrading it soon.

Once its all finished we hope to have it up to around 275 at those revs and boost plus we will be revving it out to about 7500-8000rpm.

Scott this it should make 300 on 12psi without really trying. Also no cam timing yet as we are just getting the car ready for the track for next Monday.

There are some pics here of the engine bay

Nice, plenty of room in there.

Are there any oil draining issues running the turbo on an angle like that? I may have to do the same thing to the 3076 when I put it in.

Why such low boost with that turbo & rear housing combo?

Some sorta racing reg's?

My assumption is because the wastegate could not control boost properly they were being conservative until that is sorted.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
