Warp3 Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 I am definitely interested in the crossover pipe and downpipe as well!!! Someone make sure to get a group buy thread going for this come spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_whirly Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Bump- I'm in for the group buy on this crossover pipe; I'm redoing my exhaust this spring (hopefully). This would work out good.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave valiant Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I don't suppose any of these parts will work on an EA81-T? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted March 15, 2004 Author Share Posted March 15, 2004 Should...............but I dont know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techworkseng Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Originally posted by dave valiant I don't suppose any of these parts will work on an EA81-T? All these parts are currently installed on an EA81 T right now. The header primaries aren't ideal for the ports on this engine, but it still spools up like mad. On a side note, the old wagon met defeat last week to a slightly modified (full exhaust and intake) WRx. Got me by one and half car lengths. This system on an EA82 would have changed the outcome of that race. I have since sold the car (I'm a poor loser) and am now looking at a 300+ HP version of this project using a EJ18 engine in a wagon and some of our Impreza components (header, etc>) Tom Tech Works Engineering Inc.

garner Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 hey techworks, What are the I.D.s of the tubing for this EA82T crossover. Primaries? after merge collector? I have read that opening the crossover pipe too far slows down the exhaust and therefore increases turbo lag. What have you found in your pipe? In the photos I've seen, I can't tell if this crossover uses an up-pipe or is it one piece? garner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct to be concerned about exhaust gas velocity. This is partly why the collector merges just before the turbine inlet. I had expected this combo to be very "laggy" on the EA81, but this proved to be not the case. Part of the reason for the quick spool up on this application is due to the GT17 turbo. It spools to 15 psi by 2200 rpm! There is no up pipe needed with this header as the collector terminates at the turbo flange. Seperating the primary flow until just before the turbo helps maintain the steady flow of pulses to the turbo while maintaining maximum high rpm flow potential.

WJM Posted March 16, 2004 Author Share Posted March 16, 2004 hey TWE....how many headers and downpipes do we need to order as a minimum to get something going...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Also, if these go into production will they have the 2 1/2" primaries you spoke of? Not all of us have ball bearing turbos ya know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted March 16, 2004 Author Share Posted March 16, 2004 Um, i believe they will be 1 7/8.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 They MUST be 1 1/2"!!!! You EA82T guys get everything your way! Give us some parts designed for our cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marck Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Are there any pics of the crossover pipes or downpipes that we can drool over. I can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garner Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 WJM, That's techworks photo from the first post on these. remember the engine code confusion? It is the crossover pipe thou art coveting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted March 16, 2004 Author Share Posted March 16, 2004 Cool. Remember any pics for a DP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garner Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 i never saw pics of a down pipe but they must have had one with that turbo. I'm going to use a gutted and modified (bell mouthed) stock wrx down. $25 on ebay plus a few hours of cat gutting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marck Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Cool. Why is the header 'close to equal length' instead of 'equal length'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyruss Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 check out the pic. its alittle shorter on the pass. side. if it were true equal length it would be a bit large to fit. WJM will they make different flages for different types of turbos like say a vf11:slobber: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I talked to the TWE guy who is on the board and he said that they are not quite equal length, but really darn close. Also, if one pipe it 2x longer than the other, it would have the same effect as an equal lenth pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, this is known as "tuned-length" and is how the very expensive SYMS headers for the Imprezas are configured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
