      Much more uniform production process as opposed to a high volume cast manifold with residual casting flash all over it. We had a customer making over 550whp on a plastic Spec B manifold, back when that was a difficult number to achieve on a street car.

    Hey Tanner, I believe the hks belt is Kevlar which has different spacing specs for the guides. This was not touched in the video and just wanted to give you the heads up. Abuddy just had his Kevlar belt snap because he kept the oem guide and had it to tight. It eventually ate through the belt. I believe the spacing should be 1mm for Kevlar and 0.5mm for an oem timing belt.

    • @Smeedia

      Tbh I don't even use oem guide specs. I fold a piece of paper 5 times then use that as my spacer. But good info to add in 🤝🔥

Chasis had 165k miles and the engine he had rebuilt and upgraded from a shop in Cali to handle a bit more power but he hasn't modified it beyond aftermarket exhaust and wheels.

    Totally off topic for your video but I have a serious question/problem. My new top tier closed deck, pinned mains, billet crank, built heads engine from Outfront lost all oil pressure at the track suddenly. Has a new Killer B oil pan and pick-up, 11mm pump from Outfront. I've had zero oiling issues and keep an AEM gauge in the car for pressure and temp.
    Was 1st pass of my 1st race, hit the rev limiter in 3rd and dropped the clutch hard on a flat foot shift in 4th. That's when the oil light came on and the AEM gauge read zero. Pulled turbo oil feed line in the pits and nothing. Motor has 1500 break-in/tune miles on it, making just over 900whp at 43psi through a 6870, rev limiter set to 8300 so nothing super crazy for this motor.
    Most likley cause I think would be the oil pump pressure relief valve but I'm not sure it has the capacity to bypass 100% of the oil pressure the pump generates. Could also be that the pick-up snapped off but that would be wild, same goes for the pump keyways shearing off....
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated, super expensive motor and I'm pretty confident it will need a refresh at a minimum after 8k rpms and no oil pressure. Worst case the billet crank and heads are also smoked from oil starvation.

    • @Smeedia
      @Smeedia  2 года назад

      Fuuuuuck, sorry to hear.
      I'd definitely start with the oil pump and work my way in. I haven't seen a killer B pick it snap before but anything could be possible I guess.
      If it were me I'd tear the pump down tk start with, pull the pan and check the pick it. It's rare to see but excess sealant is always a possibility on the pan. Some squeeze out can fall in the pan and clog the pick up too

    • @bryanr93
      @bryanr93 2 года назад +1

      400 is pushing it on the stock internals. He knows he’s going to blow the engine, he’s just looking for an excuse to build it. He’s basically showing everyone what a stock WRX block and transmission can do before he turns it into a better STi. If you want your car to be reliable and not implode, you’ll have to build the engine (and get a 6 speed trans) if you want 450HP. If you tune it to 310-340 then you can keep it stock.
