Riggs' Dakker build...

[Riggs]

This is a project I have put off about a thousand times for various reasons and now I finally got the shits on and decided to do it.

Was just going to throw up a thread when its all done with some finished picks and specs but I know people like to see nitty gritty sometimes so might aswell show the progress.

Started off as a stock as a rock 95 STi RA in the original WRC Blue (Circa Sainz 555 WRC Era).

Exactly like this but blue:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1995_WRX_STI_RA_GC8.jpg

Intention is to keep it as stock as possible on the outside as I like the old school WRC look. I will be updating the bonnet, lights and grill to the later style (97-00) but the rest will remain. Dash will also be updated.

Goals are as close as I can get to 1100kg and 380ish atw, with a topmount so lag is also minimised. With all the hardware I have going into (and out of) the car I should be able to get there, hopefully.....

I bought an unregod 99 sti that I am butchering for bits and peices.

Leasing a warehouse for the next few weeks to get most of the major shit done so we have a few long nights ahead!

Excuse the shitty Iphone picks, thats all I ever have on me!


-Droped them off, already ripped the engines, most of the interior and wiring out of them.

-Progressing, that is the loom out of the 99, I am doing a compleat wiring swap not a splice in. Its a big shit of a job but should make life much easyer for any work I need to do in the future.

http://i53.tinypic.com/2qsxa28.jpg



-Inside is compleatly stripped ready to remove the sound deadening. I have already swapped the steering racks and colomns, the 99 dash crossmember is a fair bit beefyer then the 95 too. I still need to mod the firewall to fit the larger gromit for the 99 colomn aswell.

-Token teaser pick, some of the many goodies I have waiting to go on.... :)

Will update with a rundown of bits going on to it later today and will update thread as major things happens.

In two minds about running the Motec M4, thinking of going Autronic or go all out woth a M800. Opinions?

And before anyone asks, yes the brakes fit under the rims.

There is things I have forgot but htat will do for now.

Better give a shout out to the people who are helping me with this, too big a job for one bloke!

[Brockas]

LOL wow.

[Lonewolf]

Cripes.
Also look at the Vipec V88 if looking for a top line ECU.

Also think you have a typo listing 2 turbo's up there :)

[Joe]

FAKKKKKKKK... awesome awesome build.

10 years in the making though, you know its gonna be good :D

[c.rusli]

Autronic would be the best option

not saying m4/800 is crap but its a pain in the ass to set up as it hard to set it right.

[Riggs]

No typo, two flywheels and two intercoolers too.

I see something I want, I buy.

Gives me some flexibility with final setup. Garage sale coming up when its done.

[mitchy]

i love people suggesting ECU's.

go speak to whoever you want to tune it riggs, they will likely tell you the best ECU for your setup, and what they are comfortable with.

[Marti]

Love the build, looking forward to seeing the final stage

[Mad_Aussie]

i love people suggesting ECU's.

get a Wolf

Awesome list man!

[adrenalin]

Holy shit !

Nice list

[Jimmy_S]

Great work Dan!! Looking forward to seeing this coming together! :)

[Daveo]

Looks like this is going to be a monster. Cant wait to see more updates :)

[jaybee]

Daniel, nice list of goodies mate, i can tell that package has been given a LOT of thought.

As mitchy has said, speak to your tuner and see what he thinks. A fully optioned M4 should have enough features and give you a big enough map resolution, however if you see a SM4 or a m400/800 come up for a good price, maybe snap it up, with the parts going into this car you'd be wanting the very best tune to match.

Will be watching this thread!

[180SXTCY]

fark way to much kesh!

awesome love the teaser pic endless *drool*

[duste]

Soooo...bit of a budget build, eh? :P

Awesome idea renting the warehouse as well, should make it much easier to get shit done! If only it had a hoist.

[Riggs]

Cheers guys this has been a long time coming thats for sure!

Shitload of work involved just to get this far.

For some reason i never really wanted to build a car, always intended on buying something already done and set up because its easyer and I have very little spare time as it is. Problem is, its so hard to find one exactly how you want it so I kept holding off.

This just somehow came into fruition over time so here we are, building it from scratch.

[magic1]

endless brakes are porn,

[Risk10k]

Awesome kit. Just fucking stupid awesome.


Where abouts are you leasing the space and how much are you getting slugged? PM if not comfortable mentioning! :D

[cplagz]

Nice work good to see how much thought has gone into planning this build. If you haven't got the dash flocked yet and it's out of the car, myself or RS_Gav (if you ask him super nicely!) might be able to drop it off to Htek in Kelmscott as both ours should be ready for collection tomorrow or the day after :)

[mys1]

its flocked allready :)

[Riggs]

Risk10k - pm'd

cplagz - Dash is already flocked, cheers though!

LOL Tris, subtle.

[cplagz]

No worries mate ;) GL with the build!

[mjp]

Nice job Riggs! great to see you are going for the prodrive blue.. definately on the 8 ball with the build congrats on the progress so far.

If you are interested in selling the bonnet and bumpers from the '95 i'd be keen to snap them up :)

[RELEASE]

Fucken WOW!

that is all...

[TJ]

Not too shabby nigga!

[SK]

fuuuuuuuuuck that is an epic build nice work!

[Scaf]

Whoaaa! Good stuff!

[space]

Dream project build.

As for Ecu's, go Motec if you can find the right tuner otherwise Autronic is more commonly used.

Endless brakes ftw, what size are the rotors?

[ChrisGTR]

Oh can't wait to see it all come together.
Will definitely be keeping an eye on this thread!
Agreed with Mitchy, get an ECU that your tuner recommends.

[Splat_man]

Subaru love!!

Definately going to be a big build!
Are you going for response or power in regards to the turbo selection?

[cplagz]

Most places in Perth will tune MoTeC, Autronic, ViPEC and Link .... seeing as the last 3 the software is almost identical.

[Joe]

That TSL chargecooler is fuckin shit.. maybe worth getting rid of it?

[Dirty32]

Pretty epic build... Keen to see how it unfolds!

[Joe]

Definitely a shit intercooler.. probably worth selling it.

[magic1]

That TSL chargecooler is fuckin shit.. maybe worth getting rid of it?

its better than mine, riggs offered me dibs. :)

[ecent]

Holy fucking wow, what a build man.

Can't wait to see videos of it in action.

[Riggs]

^^ Please do!

The TSL cooler is one very dardy bit of kit. I'll throw some picks up of it when I get time. My setup should realise the potential it has as its one of, if not the best TMIC you can get.
They are very rare due to the sheer cost of the kits compared to any other Top or Front Mount setups, I just happend to pick it up at the right price :)

I am very keen to see how it performs, my research shows it flows enough for 400hp and significantly minimises heat soak but I'll let the figures do the talking. It will be a tight fit with the twist mount TD06 but it should go.

If it does not suit me, I will go PW V-Mount and let BALISTC and magic1 fight like 12 year old girls on crack over it.

On a side note, pulled the fuel pumps and senders out of the two cars as a comparison last night and got quite a surprise!

Seems Subaru took some shortcuts with fuel supply in the later models, much older RA pump is a good 50% bigger than the 99 STi one!

[Riggs]

Bit of an update, some bad but some good.

Every last bit of sound deadening is now out and cleaned up.

Enigine side has had a few setbacks, the engine I bought was compleat and never been started so I was hoping it would be hassle free, wrong. Pulled it down to check everything was hunky dori and have had a couple of problems.

All the hoses will need to be replaced as they have perished

The heads were not serviced prior to being fitted by the previous owner and when I sent them to be serviced, ported and fit all the good shit we discovered they were cracked, quite a bit.

The timing belt tensioners have also shat themselves.

On one of the bores there is some pitting around the top lip. The block has had some detonation in a previous life however I spoke to Nick at ASG (Who build it) and he gave it the OK, however this is something that will eat away at me bigtime forever knowing it is there every time I plant my foot hoping it does not cause an issue.

So...

A pair of Lib B4 (No AVCS) heads have been sourced (They have bigger ports than the STi heads as standard) went to town on them and had a major porting job done. The cams, springs and retainers are being fitted as we speak.

New tensioner kit is ordered and all hoses will be replaced with silicone ones. New STi Head Gasked kit on the way aswell as manifold gaskets being sourced.

I will take the block to the machine shop in the next few days to see if they can use a tapered hone and get rid if the pitting on the lip, if it can't be done without compromising the engine I will have to split the block, find another and start again. A bit unfortunate but I suppose shit happens :( .

Pics:
Again, excuse the Iphone. One day I will have a decent camera on me...

Dry Ice, had so much fun fucking around with it in the sink and with every bit of water I could find lol.

http://i54.tinypic.com/1zg8hvq.jpg

http://i51.tinypic.com/118ovbs.jpg

All removed..

http://i56.tinypic.com/33y1c7c.jpg

Will weigh it later and see how much I saved.

http://i51.tinypic.com/97i1w0.jpg

Cleaned up :)

Head porting (forgot to do before and after but the're much bigger!)

[180SXTCY]

awesome work mate.

who did the port work very tidy indeed.

also am keen on knowing how much weight was saved from removal of sound det.

[rstay]

awesome job mate. love it!

[RRob]

IMO i'd be either sleeving the block or replacing!

[duste]

Started mine today, only managed to take about 5kg out from half the car, so I'd estimate a max of 10kg from something small like a Laser.

Mine was an absolutely bitch to get out, didn't have the dry ice thick enough. :( Will definitely have more on me next time.

What did you sue to clean it all up Riggs? Have heard citrus solvent or something similar is pretty good.

butting in here - get solvit!

get it from blackwoods :)

[jaybee]

yep i'd definitely look into sleeving it.

the pitting at the top of the bore i dont quite understand (unless i am fucking slow right now), if the engine has been built and never started, how was the pitting not addressed before ?

[Fukushima]

laser is old and cheap and wouldn't need as much deadening I would assume

would imagine a dak dak would have a bit more

Josh this is my dream build, if only I had $500k to spend...

John Nastis Did the heads for me, he is a guru with subi's.

Petrol cleaned up the sound deadening nicely, got high at the same time, win win! Have not had the chance to weigh it yet but will do. Was more than I expeted.

In other news picked these up today, Iphone of fail again:

[180SXTCY]

yes please weight up the sound det. like i said very keen to know how much weight was saved.

also how well did the dry ice work?

[Riggs]

Dry ice worked a treat, I made sure I had plenty though (bought nearly 20kg of it) go liberal with it and it works great.

[180SXTCY]

sweet, well after you weigh it up i may consider giving my s15 shitter the same treatment.

[Fozzy]

I think it was about 13kg's

Including both sides of the firewall and the boot last time I did it.

[Mistikal]

Wow impressive build! Going to keep an eye on this one! :)

[laju]

Love this build.

[VT SS]

This is killer ! keep up the progress !

[duste]

Dry ice worked a treat, I made sure I had plenty though (bought nearly 20kg of it) go liberal with it and it works great.

Yeah I think that's where I went wrong. I paid for 3kg, guy told me to tell the other guy to just fill up my esky so I ended up with about 10kg at the end but I didn't apply it thick enough, didn't get it cold quick enough. :( Still a couple bits in the front and the whole boot to do so I'll have to get a fair bit this time.

Where'd you get yours from, BOC Gases? $10/kg?

[jEstEr?]

did you get the sound deadening on the rear parcel shelf too?

few things: be a real man and get 5th in dog as well. synchro 5th is pure queer
also, buy my Speedline ST2s

[jEstEr?]

also, i kept a bit of a spreadsheet on the weightloss in my car. I had it down to 1130kg with the 5 speed and half cage, here is some of the stuff i measured. mine still had carpet, rooflining, all the internal plastics etc


Rubber & foam from firewall 5
Sound deadening from interior, rear seats and forward 9.5
Sound deadening from interior, boot and parcel shelf 2
Scissor jack and mount 2.2
RA rear seat 8.5
stock battery 10kg - braille battery 5kg 5
Stock front strut 8.5kg - DMS Front /w Noltec hats 7kg 3
Stock rear strut 8.5kg - DMS Rear /wo 6.5kg 4
air con pump 5.7
air con condenser 2.3
air con tensioner 1
my93 aircon box 2.75
air con pipes n shiz 1.4
stock headers 12kg - Tomei headers - 9kg 3
3.9kg GD sti control arms - steel control arms 4.5kg 1.2


so theres a few kgs. the biggest weight loss comes from removing the stock seats and dropping a bucket in, i think i worked out my GX seats were 35kg each and the Velos were 7? whatevs

subscribed

[duste]

Is there any hazard related to removing the rubber/foam from the firewall? ie. What is it's purpose, sound deadening or as a 'fire blanket'?

Was looking at it the other day when I was dry-icing my sound deadening and wasn't too sure whether it would have to stay or not... The more I can remove the better as I'm hoping to have the car well below the 1000kg mark.

PS. What kind of soft pingpingpingping keeps carpet, roof-liner and interior pieces! :D

Would love a full 5 dog, waiting for a certain Holinger to come up for sale... Again..

I will be keeping the door trims and pillar linings, and yes did the rear parcel shelf. Got rid of the rear wiper too (3ish kgs itself)

Every bit of carpet, foam and plastic that I could take out I did. I will put new carpet back in (not carpet and felt underlay just thin car carpet).

There will be nothing behind the dash. Heat exchanger, aircon all gone. May put an electric de-mister in if I get steamy windows a lot.

Seats, control arms and a few other little things are still to be done but will get there!

Being an RA seats were already reasonably light and a very, very snug fit compared to the 99 STiand GD STi seats. Looking into some solid Recaros atm.

pics of ST2s??? I want!! What size are they?

duste:

As long as you blank off all the holes properly where you have removed the rubber you will be fine. The metal acts as your fire wall, felt just stops your feet getting hot and noisy.

[duste]

Well out that goes sometime this week as well then, ta! :D

I put an 03 wrx black carpet back in my MY93, i stripped all the foam out from under it before it went back in.

I would definately consider putting heater gear back in the car, especially if you ever want to do Collie or any event in the rain. When i did the SES Albany windfarm this year, I had the screen fog up when I was flat in 6th gear. I will definately be putting it back in. Heated screen is also a good idea but $$$

[jEstEr?]

oh PS they are 17x7, I'm not super keen on selling them but they'll looked bombed on your car. If i can't sell my Enkei's then these will have to go.

Hey Daniel,

Just a quick update - your bearings will be shipping from Cosworth this week - as soon as they land here we'll get your order shipped to you. Thanks for your patience on this one.

Joe is about to slit his wrists.

Having a change of heart (again) and want to go PW V-Mount.

Anybody wants the Ducks nuts Charge Cooler (designed to suit GD but easily modded for GC) and PWR 40mm alloy rad make me an offer!

Everything needed to finish engine has arrived and with appropriate parties.

Was going to be doing a full cage while this was happening but due to other issues its a no-go till much later on.

Some info on the cooler, its hard to find actual data but this is what i know:

(UK based) Pace and TSL Motorsport developed charge cooler, water to air and air to air (Dual core TMIC). The water pump was sourced from a company over here but no idea which one.

Retailed for around Aus $4K new. The one I have is off the TSL demo car, never fitted to a car here. Very rare kit, I think there may be one fitted to a car over east but afaik this is the only one in WA. The kit is a direct bolt on for GD WRX/STI. Only thing I would recomend would be to get a splitter plate made to get a good seal for the airflow from the scoop.

Build quality is exceptional. TSL tested them to 25psi and they are capable of supporting 400hp (TSL have rated them to 440).

Quoted from an owner in UK:


I can't churn out tech data for you on before intercooler/after intercooler temps vs. load vs. boost vs ambient temp etc etc. However I can say that using my PSI3 which reports intake temp the car typically saw between 4-15 deg C above outside temp in late spring weather on regular driving (blasts and normal tootling around). After the new kit on the drive home on a hot day last week (temp 27 deg C) the PSI3 quoted 27 and at one point 26. As well as that, following a post fitting 'spirited run' with Graham driving, we got back, popped the bonnet to a crackling toast cooking engine. You couldn't touch the engine as it was so hot yet the intercooler (still in the usual position) was cold to the touch.

LOL sooo gooot

[Riggs]

Ok,

Block was almost ready for assembly, however Performance Mods who did all the work could not machine the main thrust bearing/washer to the rear (Its in the centre currently), apparently his line borer did not have a long enough bit to do it.

Quick ring around and the guys at CGC were happy to do it so thats where it is now. Hopefully ready in a week or 2, then it gets assembled.

V-Mount kit also arrived yesterday, spent most of the afternoon fapping over it.

[Joe]

Dak of fucking WIN

[Riggs]

May as well throw an update in.

All machining work on the block is compleat and after sitting behind my desk for ages everything is now with the builder and in the cue. Once its built and dropped in an in-law of mine who is a magician with all things metal will be fabricating seamless piping and fitting the V Mount, reverse manifold blablabla.

Also looking to ditch the stock loom and re-wire the car from scratch, a big job but ditching the 20 odd kg loom and it may be worth it.

Decision was made to run purely on E85 so ID2000s and Aeromotive fuel rails are on the way as well as other ancillary fuel system stuff.

Cosworth plenum, Cosworth TGV deletes, Crawford High flow water pump and few other bits have also been ordered.

Almost went for a dry sump kit while I was at it but could not justify the massive cost + the maybe $3-5k cost to fit it properly so for now that stays on the one day list.

Have no pics as I never take any so /b/ - Random (http://boards.4chan.org/b/) if your desperate.

[bird]

Great build Riggs. Thought i'd have a look after meeting you this morning.

[Joe]

Cannot fucking wait to see this thing smashing some helis!

[XT43]

Mint.

Were the ID2000 a necessity? I'm running E85 with the 1000s but I may be on the conservative side to what you are going to push yours to..

[Riggs]

The beauty of the ID's is they can still run like a stock injector at less than half duty, so it gives plenty of headroom if anything changes. That and I'm pretty much going to shovel as much boost as I can into the thing.

[Buckets]

Yep ID2000's FTW, gives you the all the capacity you could need and still run sweet @ low revs. Sounds like this will be done before I finish the MWP, I might have to pull finger and do something about that. :)

More pic's next time...

[Riggs]

Something came in the mail yesterday. Yew!

[Riggs]

So the engine is assembled and in the next week or 2 should be ready to drop into the car. Then starts fab work on V-Mount, fuel system and maybe a re-wire.

Was going to have it painted first but now that I'm going to add flares and silly wide rubber I'll just get it running then worry about how pretty it is later on.

[j3rk]

OOoo an actual update! Amazing... Can't wait to see this running in 2014! :cool:
