What did you do to your ride today?
-
One of the best tuners on LegacyGT.com was running a special on e-tunes so I couldn't resist - getting new tunes for both gas and e85. Heck of a deal for $200.
I got the new WBO2 installed half-ass so I'm ready to pull logs. I hope to button up the install this week, wiring up the failsafe output to cut the EBCS signal and getting everything tucked away nicely.
-
Results are in, +6 HP, +11 TQ over my old gas etune, +6.6 HP, +21.4 TQ over my old e85 dyno tune.

Wrapped up a couple projects today.
Finished wiring up the failsafe output of my AEM wideband. Now it will use a relay to cut the signal to the boost control solenoid and drop me down to wastegate boost if I go lean or over boost.
Replaced the seatbelt in my driver's rear reel. Old one had an ugly stain.
Ran a 1/0 lead from the battery to the back. PITA. For future stereo use and for the following mod...
Rewired my fuel pump with 10 awg wire. Feeding it battery/alternator power from the 1/0. Stock was 18 awg, not enough - typically only saw 11.5v at the pump. I should have 13v+ now.
Pic below is the new 10 awg soldered to the stock wiring. Mmm, beefy.
My back hurts, lol.

installed a borla header on my car cause the factory one was leaking.

Put in a new Optima Yellowtop over lunch.

Ha! Pretty sure that's the manufacturing date, and while it's been on the shelf a little longer than I'd like, it sounds like that's pretty normal.
<snip> When I visit our retail partners, most of the batteries I see on shelves were manufactured within the last 12-18 months. <snip>

Nice, my wife's truck has one burnt out in the 4wd selector I need to replace.
I forgot to mention this the other day, but I replaced my Stinger ANL fuse holder (too much bling) with a breaker for the low key win.

Compression test.
Failed.
WTB: WRX SMFW, KB pickup, top feed fuel rails, ID 1000s, 68HTA... Let me know if anyone has any of this locally.

Pulled my engine on Saturday, and got the heads off the block last night.
-
Heads are done. Still waiting on the short block and turbo.
Plenty of other stuff to keep me busy... Need to pull the tranny and replace the shift shaft seal. I was trying to do it with the transmission still under the car but it's not happening very easily without a lift.
Gutting and porting my TGVs this week too, about 3/4ths done. Got the butterflies and rods removed, divider plates cut out, the holes welded and one of them ported so far.
Couple pics...
Need to take some time and just clean parts too. Scrub em up, paint what needs to be painted...

Finished building out my long block, dropped it in and put in some break-in miles
