difference

the version 7 has avcs as well. the only difference is the twin scroll and headers/upipe that go with it. the result = wider powerband
 
jdm

v8 is jdm. usdm sti engine is different.

so started going through the wiring harness today.... it is pretty straigt forward.. but one tedious task.
 
man, i need to get one of those in my car.

i thought the twin scroll was only on the spec-C cars?
 
twin scroll

all version 8 have the twinn scroll as well.
i expect this wiring to take me about 7-8 hours.... but it will all be worth it!
updates to come
 
Great to see you finally bit the bullet nick....but all Ver.8 DO NOT have twin scroll.... I have removed turbos from a few of them to port and polish and there is no divorced uppipe or turbo inlet. Maybe all JDM Ver.8 are...but I know that the USDM or CDN models are not.
 
usdm

thats what im talking about. all jdm v8 are twin scroll.

im not 100% sure but i dont even think usdm sti engines are considered a v8. its very different in many aspects.
 
... hey chris is that you!
i thought i reconized the name
yeah i bit the bullet.. figured if i dont do it now ill never do it. lol
ill be hassling you with questions later probably.
 
Yeah its me Nick.....keep the questions coming...and if you need any help wrenching you let me know...or if you get stuck mechanically...let me know
