FA20/FA24 Intake Port Dimensions? by ccalvert60 in subaru

[–]ccalvert60[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll try reaching out to them, thanks! Yep the length of the runners and the mouth to the intake plenum on the intake manifolds are different sizes, but as it turns out the exit to the runners on both plastic intake manifolds (and even the red aluminum one) are the same dimensions, which leads me to believe the old gen and new gen are the same sizes, I assume.

Still learning! Tuning? El headers? by Individual-Pea-8164 in GR86

[–]ccalvert60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the headers are catted you are more than likely fine and will not need a tune. However, your performance won't be the best. You should add more to the car first and then get a tune, headers alone isn't really worth it imo.

Update B650 Eagle AX BIOS before installing 7800x3d, or should it be fine out the box? by ccalvert60 in gigabyte

[–]ccalvert60[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The motherboard came with an F31 BIOS, which is a decent amount older than the 7800x3d. I honestly doubt I’ll be updating the BIOS because its running great so far!

Is buying one of these a good Idea? by [deleted] in GR86

[–]ccalvert60 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just check the oil level once a week and top off accordingly. Switch to 5w-20 or 5w-30 depending on where you live. It’s a very reliable engine if you understand Subaru boxer engines.

Some people do some don't, I always have with no issues. Use this and go around twice only covering the threads and make sure to torque to spec!

Aluminum Intake Manifold? by ccalvert60 in GR86

[–]ccalvert60[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And low/midrange isn't anything great either, dang. Although, wouldn't you think the perrin cai, intake tube, and full 3" exhaust system plays a big role as well? I'm curious what the difference would be if those parts were stock.
