Lawrence's wrx with AVO 550 turbo and then TD05-18G turbo


Lawrence's wrx with AVO 550 turbo and then TD05-18G turbo

Lawrence is a damn funny brudder... hahaha, one look at him and you bet he had a wild wild woohoo time in his younger days. Every time I see him, oh man, his pussy-in-boobs stories never fails to keep us smiling, man... the last time we met, he asked if I have seen 19" dicks before... OMG... how many of your friends can say that to you and show you in their cell phones these black mamas sticking out their choco horses and xxx.... kekeke

Ok, AVO550 turbo was his original turbo, before that he had something else... yes, you're right, some people just prints money one... kekeke... AVO 550 turbo are big arse turbo who have enough milk to feed the entire nation. Nasty... the problem with that turbo, like I warned him, is that it is darn good at running top speeds on subarus, but, on the low end side, its a little too laggy... he say ok one... he like laggy old granny loose ass...

A couple of weeks later, I see him again... Now with a TD05-18G and ready for tuning... hahaha... sam of course say this say that la... as usual... he still have to lup in that 18G turbo for Lawrence... Lawrence waited until he dulan... hahaha... as usual la...

Now, Lawrence used to be running full 3" straight through exhaust system. After a while, I think he sense his ears are not very good liaoz, so, he decided to go stock exhaust with a Trust Muffler. That muffler is damn LTA complaint lor... coz, the silencer still inside... hiaz... yah, he got a lot of exhaust pipes in his storeroom, and guess what, funny-man wanna tune his ride with stock straws... ok... no choice...

1.6 bars of boost on this turbo easily churns out a good 50~60 kg of torque on this 2.0L stroker engine. Yes yes,... can go higher... i know... judging by the way the turbo is pushing the car past 1.6 Bars region, brudder, not much difference in bhp man.... Lawrence pinched his lips together and puffed hard, showing us a good illustration of his exhaust pipes stuck bad like a yakult straw... hahaha... funny guy... just thinking of his funny face make me smile ... hahaha

yup, sucky stock pipes not giving a good show that day... Lawrence was inside while we tuned his horse. I can tell on his face that he is contemplating between powervalve or loud kick ass full exhaust system... anyway, the most I can do is advise him to return again with a better exhaust system for that 1.9 bars of boost... This fabulous stroker kit is done by GTR Tech., those old folks there done a darn good job with his hardware, Sam did the turbo installation and I did the ECU reflash... Owner used to run on Microtech ecu, and he opted for lesser response but better FC, then GTR send him to us for the reflash... Car have zero complains pushing 1.9 and beyond... yes,... we went beyond 1.9 bars... kekeke... I think Xiao Jian's reads my blog too... Sam say he will boost up some more after CNY... he say gong xi Fatt chai to you this CNY ... enjoy first.... kekeke...you can Gong Lei Fark him after CNY hahaha... just kidding... me no flamer hor... hahaha... just kidding only.. hahaha Xiao jian's forged engine past 1.9? no problem ... sam say one.. muahahahaha

TD05-18G on a 2 litre engine spools up quick on gear 1 at 3800 rpm. And on gear 2, its about 3500 rpm... Gear 3 is around 3300rpm, you step, you get the 1.9 bar of boost... G wise, its massive. 18G is a good turbo for those who have already experience turbo charged rides and a little bored of that low end, no high end effect of small turbo. Or those who are sick of needing to step so much just to get ahead of a puny Mark X... kekeke...

This turbo pushes the powerband further up the revs and give good FC during day-to-day drives. Although this turbo is not kick ass like the sumo, it is more suitable for the average day-to-day user who looks for more power, not so much a show stealer for that 40 tiang drag race though.

Anyway, Lawrence is damn experience with his hardware... he have been modifying his ride for ages, more like a hobby kind of thing and that occasional top speed runs at 300 km/h to Thailand in 5 hours is in his usual holiday plans... Every now and then, he will pop by to have his exhaust done and stuff... hahaha...

Overall, this subaru WRX has done quite a bit with fully forged internals, modified turbo actuators, complete fuel system, brembo brakes, trust exhuast system, GTR custom boost controller, td05-18G turbo (what spec? ask Sam) and many more, except meters :)... all controlled via stock ECU reflashed. It scores very well for street sillypore use... Traffic to traffic is good, of course a slightly smaller turbo on this 2 litre will score better for short sprints, and high speed wise, it is above average as compared to kick ass sumo and AVO 550. Car runs on top mount IC... hahaha... yah, FMIC better ... kekeke... anyway... to each his own taste and preference... :)

ps
sam's on leave for CNY period and will open again this Friday.... For those turbo kits done by amatuer, if Sam ever mentioned to you about your fuel pipings or any rubber pipings thats needs to be changed, pls, remind him and come back to change them... ALL rubber pipings got SAE rating one... and those used for fuel cannot interchange and use for Oil. Water still not so bad,... but water and air, better use Silicon... wanna know why? Ask Sam. I'm only tuner... kekeke... hahaha... okok... i know why, but, lets leave the hardware technicalities outside our blog right? hahaha Have a properous Lunar New Year, a wonderful feng shui ahead in 2009 !!
