I bought the 2.4in inlet 'Gen 1' version of this exact turbo secondhand about a year ago. Had it rebuilt by a reputable builder. Been hoarding parts to add it to my car in the next year or so. Thank you guys so much for sharing what these turbos are capable of! You can really get lost in the sea (literally smh, IYKYK) of stock location, hybrid, big turbo options for the EJ platform. Most of them don't give much differing spec info, other than lb/min or what size the exducer may measure out to be, etc etc. You're always wondering what the peak output is, and the power band can be a complete question mark. NOT TO MENTION - everybody usually just copycats everyone else and gets the same turbo as the next guy. Just seeing that this can hit just over 500whp/tq on a dyno without some crazy ass setup is amazing. Shout out to MotoiQ for making this video for the Boxer boys! 🙏🏾✊🏾🤙🏾

Hypereutectic alloys have more silicon than the saturation limit of aluminum in solid solution which is typically 16-18 percent. The other problem is the Subaru has a really high first ring land for emissions reasons, combine the two and you have a fragile piston.

If you need a fun primer on boosted engines, I would suggest reading "The Secret Horsepower Race" by Calum E. Douglas: it follows the engineering race between the Allies and the Axis on the Western Front from the late 1930's to the end of WW2. A lot of what we now take for obvious in boosted engines was developed in those years at massive expense and record time. Some things, like throttle bodies water/methanol injection or compressor entry fuel injection at high boost have yet to reach the point aero piston engines were at when jets took over. It helped me get some of the the details of Kojima's teachings.

They aren't suited for long north American roads. The gear ratios on those cars are tighter. (Not fun on the highway). The 207 needs to be rev'd out to feel the power.

Wrong doesn’t understeer more at all. They have very similar characteristics and Infact the 06 got some other updates to the stiffening of the chassis which made it turn in better

A huge reason that people go rotated is the so that they aren’t limited by the turbo inlet going under the manifold and the limitation of the turbine housing AR. Sure you made 500 ftlbs but it fell all the way to 320 by 7600. With a bigger AR you can keep that torque up for way longer. With that being said, It all depends on what kind of build you’re going for. This is still a badass build for sure

This turbo combination makes more power and more area under the curve than most equivalent-sized rotated mount turbos that we have tested which frankly surprised us. The turbo also made the power with relatively little boost, only 18 psi at high rpm. We think the tiny filter of the CARB legal Cobb airbox choked out a lot of power as well. For going for any more power than this, rotated mount is the way to go for sure but even this power level is approaching the end of the sweet spot for these engines when it comes to durability.

Very nice video :) The "it feels like it has lag but on the dyno it's making good power by 4000rpm" sounds like the general impression I've always had from Precision turbos versus some other brands. It's like they dyno well, and have a solid boost threshold if you give them enough time to build the boost - but the transient response (time to reach the boost it CAN make at whatever given rpm) seem to be lazier than other things that may make similar power. Almost like the dead opposite of what Borg Warner EFR turbos are like, where the dyno plots don't really set the world on fire - but driving them and the advantage to low inertia wheels etc start making sense.

@@motoiq yeah funny you say that, I agree twins generally don't make sense on a 4cyl and divided housings less relevant on an EJ because a lot of the point of divided housings is the reduced volume so they build drive pressure quick and also clear quick so you kinda get sharp response without necessarily ending up with ridiculous EMAP. With an EJ you can't have the short runners that are kinda needed to make it work. Same with twins on an inline 4 don't make sense because you need bigger volume manifolds and plumbing which defeats the purpose of twins, where you end up neatly packaging the turbos close to the head and you are making much better use of the exhaust energy (so V6s are basically build for this). My thought was a boxer actually is probably a lot better suited to twins if you divide the pulses than any other 4cyl because things are quite quite different to the rules you'd follow with other 4s as they are a bit more like a V6 config in that regard, aside from the pulse events being uneven which is why I threw the divided housing idea in there

www.precisionturbo.net/turbochargers/factory-upgrade/details/Factory-Upgrade-Turbocharger---Subaru-WRX--STi--Forester/547 this is the 55mm inducer which is probably the one for 2 liters shop.precisionturbo.net/gen2-58mm-subaru-bolt-on-turbocharger This is the 58mm inducer version we tested that we would use on 2.5 liters.

Thanks for the info, dad. Please let me call you dad. You’re just the best.

Good night. Thanks for your content. Can you provide a link for this stock turbo in your presentation. I’m planning to upgrade from my stock turbo.

lovely

Great video as always, what turbo produces more HP and better spooling?? pte stock location 58 mm or efr 7163 with SX-E style comressor housing ?

I think the PTE will make more peak power but a rotated mount 7163 will spool faster. It's a really good turbo for a Subaru. We are building a car now with just that combo.

Yes oem + sleeper

Hey Mike, big fan! How does the responsiveness/transient response of this setup compare to the Borg Warner EFR 7163 with the Full Race twin scroll header from your older vid? Do think the tech has evolved to where the twin scroll isn't that beneficial? I'm running a similar stock location setup to this, but I'm looking for more response.

The BW will be better of course but I think this will make more peak power. We will be testing soon, standby.

Great content and info! (From Australia) What are your thoughts on the Blouch Turbos that are stock located? I have the Blouch Dom 3.5 xtr great all round turbo. Made 345kw atw (approx 460whp) @ 21 pound. Pretty much daily it, great streeter (in a forester XT SH model)

I think they are pretty good, especially the ball-bearing ones. They have more size options. I think the turbo we are running is one of the best for this power level, we are making a lot of power with little boost.
