I have done some stuff this summer. Tints, Color matched the rims to the Black Sti, FMIC from Turbo XS and intake from TXS. Oh yeah....I got it tuned with a UTEC and made 308whp and 318 Ft lbs. Stock turbo with a catback, and stock manifolds. I was very surprised. My injectors are maxed at 18 lbs. of boost. Next step is bigger turbo.....enjoy!

lookin good. a nice drop and an impreza RS hood w/o the scoop would look hot on there :tup:

scansel912 08-10-2005 10:32 PM

daaaaaaaamn bro! thats sweet! Wonna see some dyno results!!!!!!!!

drew22mader 08-10-2005 11:16 PM

Very nice man, how much hp you looking to get out of it? I know as much as you can but what are you shooting for.

Da1lyDr1ver 08-10-2005 11:20 PM

it nice. i thought that the FMIC doesnt do much for WRXs and the top mount intercooler was more efficient???

the stock scoop is for the intercooler... but since he got a front mount... I guess this would be a good idea.

Get rid of the bird catcher!

I'm not even going to dignify that with a real answer... all I have to say is - learn before you speak, or post for that matter; and, hopefully the other people on here won't rip you to shreds for a comment like that. :sweet:

Sleep time for meeee! Sweet-ass STi BTW, bro! Very, very nice. :rockon:

STI's put 300 to the crank, which translates into like 270 or so at the wheels. When you dyno a car its going by the hp rated at the wheels so yea hes gained close to 40 with what hes got. Well at least i hope hes talking about how much he has at the wheels...

Nodnero 08-11-2005 03:24 AM

Actually, with the S-AWD drivetrain, the STi's (each STi varies slightly) lose 21% HP to the wheels. So in essence, they are around 237AWHP. So hes done quite a lot. Very impressive TQ numbers as well.

zzsupermanzz15 08-11-2005 05:41 AM

aha, damn mybad i didnt know it was to the wheels...dont think i hate STi's man, im plannin to get a wrx myslef, when i get money =) aha

TeRRoRiFiC35 08-11-2005 08:16 AM

you should get a new up- and downpipe.. that will add a lil more HP

exturbo6 08-11-2005 08:26 AM

do they make cams for your car?

ciVictoria 08-11-2005 08:32 AM

Man I love the STi..so sexy

blouisgod 08-11-2005 08:47 AM

nasty

exturbo6 08-11-2005 09:14 AM

thats funny how the Evo is 19psi stock. and you have yours maxed out already at 18.

Evo is a way better pic ic then. Still nice car thou. Not worth it thou for the money youve spent.

exturbo6 08-11-2005 09:17 AM

if you have your injectors maxed out then why wouldnt you just got get bigger ones instead of getting a bigger turbo.

you mean turbo elbow. Yea man... 3 inch dp, cat back would kick ass... Or just for kicks. Remove the exhaust at the turbo elbow... You'll get some great power... That is if you can reach the damn thing. I know factory turbo's are usually hard to get to.

you bet your sweet bippy they do.

exturbo6 08-11-2005 01:01 PM

thats what ya need! give it that extra gain. prob would pull hard as hell all the way through.

Nodnero 08-11-2005 08:35 PM

I was just read your mod list in your signiture, and Im kinda suprised your running a MBC. You havent had any problems with the open loop fuel system? Or was the UTEC configured with a fix for it?

I know they hold boost better than an electric boost controller, but I thought it was a problem on the 04/05 Suby's.

civic01vtec 08-11-2005 08:38 PM

what a slow piece of crap

get on SOCOM bitch :kick:

Yeah it hold's boost better. The EBC drops back.

They are 19 psi because they run a huge turbo to make up for it being a 2.0 liter. STi's are 2.5 liters so they run smaller turbo's and less boost. The VF39 is only good for about 322 whp and 375 lbs of torque. I don't have headers/uppipe or downpipe. Nextmods tho. It'll make my torque go way up and add a little HP. After that its a big turbo, fuel rails and 816cc injectors.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
If an STi can run lower boost and make more power then an EVO which runs higher boost, how is the EVO better? :_doh:

Anyways, nice ride bro... love the FMIC :tup:

sweeteli99 08-13-2005 01:09 PM
