    The AEM 818R #85

    Follow us on our road to SEMA 2014 with the AEM 818R #85

    Goal:
    To build an 818R that is street legal, safe, and competitive for NASA TT road racing and SCCA Solo.

    Donor:
    There really isn't one for this build. I've been hoarding parts for a while and have just enough laying about to not need to take anything off any one car. The harness and some misc. parts will come from one of the WRXs at Go Green Automotive in Greeley. Front LCA's are 2004 STI, rack is 2006 WRX Wagon (better ratio than 02-05 and theoretically better mounting)

    Aftermarket parts:

    Tires & Wheels:
    -295/30-18 Hoosier R6 on 18"x10.5" Custom CCW C14s - Gold
    -245/40-17 Hoosier A6 on 17x9 Enkei RPF1 - Gold

    Clutch - Exedy Twin Disc

    Transmission - Rallispec Type RA gears with a Modena GT TBD

    Brakes - TBD

    Cooling - CoRaceFab Catch Can, Koyo Legacy SS radiator

    Tuning - Cobb AP V3

    Engine - EJ257, Killer B Optimal Oil Pan kit, ARP head studs, combustion chamber matched 2.0 heads with 0.5mm oversized flat face black nitride valves, BC springs and retainers, BC Stage 2 272 cams

    Turbo - Garret GTX3071

    Steering - NRG quick release hub, Momo wheel, 06 wagon rack

    Seats - Sparco Sprint V with ZFD mounts

    Exhaust - GrimmSpeed PnP manifolds and crossover, EWG up pipe, custom 3" stainless and aluminum exhaust from CoRaceFab

    Fuel - ID1000 injectors, AEM E85 intank pump, Perrin top feed rails

    Intercooler - CX racing core with custom end tanks and piping by CoRaceFab

    Gauges - AEM Uego wideband, AEM Oil Temp

    Intake - GrimmSpeed PnP intake manifold and TGV deletes with 3mm phenolic spacers, Agency Power 3" turbo inlet, prototype AEM intake

    Hubs - ARP wheel studs with custom spacers front and rear

    Rear Aero - Zebulon MSC road racing wind with XL end plates


    After getting the boxes and boxes and boxes of parts out and tearing down the crate:

    Here's the hand built prototype coolant catch can from CoRaceFab - the goal was to make a direct replacement for the ugly plastic tank that comes with the donors.

    Here's the R after suspension, I needed to make it a roller ASAP to get some of my shop back!!! It's headed to Colorado Race Fabrication today to add some bracing and box in some frame members that I'm not happy with:



    And here's a test fit of the 18x10.5 wheels with 295 Hoosiers, kinda silly.....
