Turbo EG33 Subaru WRX STI Hits the Dyno! THIS THING IS WILD!!!!

We're back for round 2 on Josh Dyno for the EG33 Swapped Subaru WRX STI! Overall lemme say things went WAY better than before but that's not without some smaller issues coming up. We made some good power but capped the Fuel Injectors WAY SOONER than I was anticipating so we will be making another trip back to Bader built in the coming months to turn this thing up a lot more. But great forward progress on things that we wouldn't have otherwise known if it wasn't on a dyno. Huge Shout out to Josh over Bader built for tuning and the help on this thing.

It even sounds better on E85! What a difference E85 makes. The wait for this video was well worth it

[@Smeedia]

It loves the E85 🔥

[@AaronAnderson323]

The sync issue is probably related to wiring. The clean and dirty grounds are crossed. Also check your clean and dirty power connections. You MUST ensure clean and dirty are separated.

[@Smeedia]

Tearing it down a bit this week to see what we can find

[@AmirPomen]

Probably... Sensor ground and actual engine/chassis ground should not mixed together...

[@AmirPomen]

But if u were going to pull out the wiring... Put heat-sleeve on the wiring and mini heatshield at both cam and crank sensor maybe a good idea

[@AaronAnderson323]

@@AmirPomen Solely based on the behavior of the car, it seems something cooling related, probably cooling fans, are causing noise on the clean ground side. I don't think it's a sensor temperature issue.

[@aidankhoury8139]

​@@Smeedia I had the exact same issue in two cars, a 2005 STI, and 2011 STI both running a haltech elite 2500 and it turned out to be electrical. I solved it by reducing the trigger arming voltage in the ECU. I had to datalog the trigger voltage and see where it was going out of sync and reduce the trigger arming voltage in the appropriate range. It was an intermittent issue that would come and go. I really do think it's a bug with the Haltech, but Haltech doesn't seem to think so.

[@geraldboylan5635]

Just seeing this for the first time .. great sound , ( gave me goose bumps) amazing build. I’m new to the wrx community ( mine doesn’t arrive til April 2023 ) But I have been loyal to Subaru for 20 years driving legacy’s and one outback 3.6R . All of you guys are a great inspiration.

There is a guy in Australia with an 04 or 05 Sti who put an eg33 in his car STOCK block with sti injectors and big turbo, over 530 AWHP on pump gas, he then pulled the engine to build because at 550 it was lifting the heads. with the built motor he expected a lot more power.

Hey man!!! That is AMAZING!!! Congrats! I hope to see it again in person on the next meet.

[@snow_bound266]

Have to ask why you want to go stroker eventually? That will increase low end torque which will increase wear on bearings. It will also create more piston deflection due to the new rod ratio which will lower your usable rpm range and increase wear on the cyl wall. Take a look at how Porsche designs their engines; larger bore, shorter stroke. This gives a better rod ratio. This is also why the EJ20 is a smoother running engine than the 25 variants allowing them to rev higher. You want a big turbo, you should build for the rpm range that turbo will work within which your current setup does at 7700rpm. Though even that may be a little low for a larger turbo.

[@RobHTech]

I put a throttle pedal sapcer (Versus) on my '22 WRX. I had to recalibrate/adjust it using my scan tool to the exact maximums on the sensors d/t the pedal going past the 100% mark that was programmed from the factor. So I took the spacer off, for now, even though I calibrated the pedal because it brought the pedal too similar to the brake making risk for pedal error.

[@rudy6601]

We see this alot. On fighter jets. Cold solder or broken wire at pin. Works fine at night when cold but broken in the hot sun.

Bro there is another option. Running 12 injectors. Maintain those injectors as your primary injectors for smooth idle and for d.d. Then get TGV housings to run the new monster injectors for whatever goals that might come up in future. Following keenly. All the best.

[@Josephmwangi1243]

Thinking of this build a lot. But I will go the stroker way. 79mm crankshaft the same way ej22 is stroked. Andy forest had done it and it worked just fine. The key is where you source your crankshaft. Andy's crankshaft was made by Arrow crankshafts they have a long history of making Subaru crankshafts. Other than that I'll copy most of the the things that are on this build. Keep going bro, we are keenly following.

[@Crazy8ts]

This will easily make 800-1000 horsepower with 35lbs of boost...i would over inject it..2000 injectors..im also wondering if the fender exit exhaust is tripping the knock sensor on pump gas(not actual knock but the sensor is reacting to exhaust noise) and pulling timing? The no start is definitely heat soak related...ignition coils and or sensors for mecanical timing getting heat soaked and throwing off resistance

[@JaredRoso]

Yo! Here’s my thoughts on if it’s heat... Hey, on the Cam/crank position sensor issue... if it cranks and runs when cold the Looses signal when it gets hot, check resistance through the wires on the sensors in the different temp conditions.. the heat soak you talk about brings more resistance to one of the sensors.. and if I remember correctly.. the resistance from the heat will cause it to allow less voltage through the wire. Thus, greater resistance when hot and less voltage.. causing it to loose one of those sensor communications.

[@Smeedia]

Will try this and appreciate the insight 🤝 going to hest sleeve the harness as well to try and mitigate these issues
