I agree with your way of thinking. I purchased an Evo 9 10 years ago when i was 24 yrs old with the intent to make 500-600whp. Now that im 34, i enjoy driving it with the 430whp it has. I'll be tuning in a few weeks to bump it up to 465whp, but that's where I am stopping, especially because im still on stock block. I look forward to reliability more nowadays and just enjoying it as it is.
Exactly what my brother told me when I first started modding my car ever since then I never complain when he says I need certain parts to have it run better 🤌🏼😂
That is one very clean engine bay. Your parts selection is superb and almost exactly what I would do outside of California. I had my 2015 STI Launch on a a "maxed out stock turbo" build with the KillerB headers, ported VF48 and Grimmspeed DP and it was great street fun until recently.
I like your videos man! I own an evo and dont have sti but for some reason , when I watch your content, it educates me! And me wanting to buy sti. Keep up man!
Oh yes it gets expensive pretty fast...my 15 STi still on a build process, rotatated turbo setup, built block (including heads), fueling, clutch, coilovers, etc. And I can tell I'm around 35k, maybe 40k+ by now...its been little over 2 years since the project started, I did few stuff myself and still a lots of $$$ involved, hopefully by march or april it'll hit the road...600whp+
always interesting to see/hear that you're tuned at 18 psi. it was always a given that "stage2" or more was always 20-21psi but clearly your tuner is making power without the added boost. Solid setup though probably the best overall
"Stage 2" is mostly the boost levels that bump the power. Easy to throw boost at a car and make it quicker, but doing it correctly with the right parts, you'll find that you won't need to add so much boost to obtain the power you are after. Quality parts go a long way.
@@Autofreakgarage Found that out first hand on my last WRX[FA20 car] on E60 it was pushing 1lb more target from pump gas and went from 300ish WHP to 385 with purely timing adjustments. Crazy stuff I'm currently on the "risky" setup of an intake/downpipe/regulator/pump on a VERY mild Etune while waiting to go injectors/rails/headers and its pretty impressive how much power picked up despite being a dialed back setup
This makes me miss my '17 STI. Great looking engine bay and great job all around. I've also read somewhere that ELH improve reliability significantly as well raise the power ceiling moreso than other mods. Great job building reliable power.

Great insight. This is why I'm considering an rs3 as a daily. I can get the same (if not higher) hp numbers as scoobyfreak with a stage 1 ecu reflash, and a block that can hold 700whp/550ish torque. Owning Subarus is certainly a labor of love. Theres nothing quite like them. But it gets tedious after a while.

8 or 10 cm on the turbo housing? 8 gets better spool i guess and 10 has better top end. which would you recommend, im thinking 8 for me but want to get your thoughts
Dang, I made the same 400whp on 93 octane, but half the cost.. right around $10k including forged pistons. But that was 2018 when it cost less and before the new EPA issues. I feel like now it would cost me around 15.

@@Autofreakgarage not too bad at all for those power levels. My buddy recently took his Mercedes to the shop and he paid more in labor than the parts themselves!
I’m looking to either build my motor, buy an iag block or get an Ra block and throw rods in it because I want 500whp in my 05 sti. I think I might just get a bcp x500r and flex fuel setup and all supporting mods including oiling etc and make 380-400whp until I figure it out. Can I make 500whp on a good tmic?
Why do you have the cylinder 4 cooling mod if you put on equal length headers? Doesnt the equal length already significantly reduce the temps for cylinder 4?
Kindly asking because I'm building a Perrin Catalog (Semi) build of WRX STI VA. And I'm changing my TMIC to FMIC is it alright? Because I already bought one hahahaha what would be the pro's and con's using FMIC? I'm planning to go stock block until 400whp can it withold it? My current build is: - Stock block - Invidia r400 - Injen CAI -> changing it to Perrin CAI - Tomei UEL - Cobb AP (When I bought the car it's already included but will remove this and go to ECUTEK tune.) - Torque Cylinder 4 - Crawford AOS Upcoming parts: - Perrin FMIC - HKS Oil cooler - Power Steering cooler (Planning to get one too) In the future: - Forged Internals - Bigger Turbo (Maybe afterwards) If you can give more more details would be great. Thank you.
People get way too tied up on numbers nowadays nobody actually goes out and DRIVES. Yes my stage 3 stil makes "only" 350hp...But i'm absolutely demolishing everything else in the canyons/mountains and having the time of my life doing it. I've been at stage 3 for a few years now on my 18 sti (28k miles) After the killer b kit upgrade and a radiator I think im ready for some bws goodness.
Could you go over the headers. I been looking into killer b elh. But there's so many options. What's the difference between 2 or 3 bolts? Can you run the header with the stock up pipe? Or recommended to get the whole set up? When is it recommended to go external wastegate?
You'll want to go with 2 bolt if you are running a stock like setup. 3 bolt is usually pertaining to more custom setups. Yes, you can run them with stock up pipe. I ran them this way for a while before I went to EWG and changed the turbo. I would recommend doing EWG either way. It's safer overall as it allows your tuner to fine tune your map and eliminates the potential of boost creep (most associated with catless setups). For the average joe's like us that just want a good quality header on a stock like setup, the 2 bolt basic killer b head is what you want to go with.
I've had 4 imprezas, but I think I'm done with ICE cars now. My experience included having them maintained by specialists while in the UK and in Australia. I had Zen Performance look after my 22B while in the UK, and then Pulse in Sydney. The reason I chose these companies was because of their experience in Time Attack. That said, the costs to properly maintain a car are not cheap. I'm much more inclined these days to run a Tesla model 3 performance, and cant wait for the upcoming highland version, which I understand will be "Ludicrous", with possible 670-680 bhp, and no transmission issues. It will be reliable, and the model has had some great upgrades into highland spec. Really cant wait to upgrade. As for this, I think time has passed these cars by.
I have a 2017 STI. I want to take things slow as well. In your experience would I be able to go stage 1+ (accessport/intake) without any reliability mods? Or should I get the accessport / Intake and get the cylinder 4, aos immediately with it?
I would definitely go ahead and do the aos and cyl 4 mod either way. Even if you are stock as they are two things that will greatly benefit the longevity and health of the motor.
Are there any issues with passing inspection? I'm in NY and I know back in the day if you had anything that was OB2 or newer (basically 1996 and up), ECUs needed to be plugged into to pass inspection. I understand the Cobb AP is just reflashing the ECU, but would the car run on a stock tune? Even if just for a few minutes to pass inspection? IDK what is required of your inspections in NJ, but just curious if you have run into any hiccups...thanks!
May i ask what product and process you use to maintain the black plastics in the front and back bumper? Im not sure which one from the list of products in the description. Thanks
So I’m getting killer b headers with v band and up pip, any reason why you went with your particular up pip and dump tube vs the killer b? Also noticed the killer b doesn’t come with dump tube is that a bad thing?
What stage wouldan iag closed deck block, fp black turbo, injector dynamics 1700cc, double fuel pumps, hobbs switch, cobb flex fuel, ets front mount all titanium piping, 600hp. What stage would that be considered?
That’s exactly what I wanted and got from the Blouch 1.5. Spoiled about 200-300 rpm’s sooner and held on up top where the stock turbo died off after 5200.
Do you think the older the car the harder the power? I have a 2000 Impreza wagon and I’m thinking about just taking the engine out to put a 2.5 in it. I would use the engine I have already with 75k miles buts it’s a 2.2l. My goal is to make 400-450
Coming from only FA experience, this is cool to see. Obviously the EJ starts with a pretty big head start, but it doesn't take much to get the FA in that 350 whp range where the STi also sat pre-turbo (as long as you're fine with taking trans risks).
Fa is a great platform that doesn’t take much to get power. It’s just a new FI motor where the ej is a dinosaur in comparison. Although, I will say the same power level in an fa and ej do feel quiet different overall.
I feel like 22k Is a lot for 400whp, considering you have a top mount etc.. I cant recall if you said in your video or not, but there are def cheaper routes to get that much power safely, and yes on pump gas. For 22k, you could have a 500x block from Bader, and a Green, plus cooling and fuel for less. While I think your build is gorgeous and an example of how to do things in a very tasteful way, to me it seems that you chose expensive parts on purpose, for just the sake of spending the cash, and thats fine. Its a beautiful build, thats for sure.
Oh yeah man, Definitely. These motors can be pretty risky when done up and or tuned incorrectly with the right Combinations and the perfect tune, you can push more power especially with E85
Question bec i wanna do this setup but dont no if i should go higher boost bec i wanna hear the turbo spooling at low rpms do this happen to you currently ?
I have a 2016 STI with a perrin intake, cobb catted turboback and the full fuel system from cobb. I was dyno tuned at Boostin Performance and I only made 276 wheel hp on a mustang dyno. That seems rlly low no? also my DAM is at 0.000 now and the knock has been crazy, i took my car back 3 times and they never could "find any problems". Car runs like shit and isnt making boost anymore. Im taking the car to a new tuner this week hoping to get this figured out. Any ideas?? Im about to just sell the car at this point.
There is definitely something going on. Can’t really diagnose what may be the issue on here since you would really need to do some digging to see what’s going on.
You had said you went stage 1, 1+ then 3 how much did you spend to get it to stage 3 with the reliability mods. And what if you did that all at once? Thanks. Ps sick sti yo
I made about 325 whp and 340 tq on 91, with intake, Inlet, tmic, bpv, ebcs, dp, fpr, fuel pump, catback. Along with typical reliability mods. Currently doing a elh (coated holy header), 1050 injectors, rails, lines, and flex fuel kit. I’m aiming for about 350whp 360-380tq . I got my 21 sti new, so cost of car, cosmetics, wheels and reliability mods, tuning I’m about 85k into.
BTW, the fa24 pushes impressive numbers with just a basic tune. I loved my old ej's as well but reliability and power have definitely been improved. Right now I'm using a Jb4 and running e30. Haven't dynoed my car yet but others with similar mods are making good power. Of course Cobb is the way to go vs jb4 but at only 2000 miles on my new car I'm not ready to flash the ecu but the jb4 is very satisfying for what it is.....
I love how you did your car the first time. I'm going for the same thing with mine. Don't get me wrong I love Devin and Baders channels but they push them stock motors way to far. Everytime they turn around they are blowing them up. Sets a bad example for people who don't have their knowledge on tearing down engines and rebuilding them. Also it's a complete waste of money whether you can afford to like them or not. That Remmy kid on their channel is even worse. He just a spoiled rich kid.
Devins and Baders channel is literally meant to push the motors limits and also they beat the shit out of them because they know they can rebuild it themselves and also serves as content.Devin has cleared this up many tines how he enjoys beating on them because knows he can just fix it have you seen his videos he has rebuilt a full motor in 2 days that man is a god with subarus
You have to remember that devin enjoys what he does just like everyone else with what they do. I wouldn’t really try to compare when two channels do two different things. Devin also just likes to push the boundaries, he’s got the money to do it
I just realised something…did you keep all of the emissions items on your sti? Did you not do tgv deletes or the secondary air pump delete? You kept all your emissions stuff intact? Because I want to go cobb but I know they have a green speed update which doesn’t allow emissions related stuff to be deleted anymore. Debating on going open source
You can get 350 hp in an sti for a reasonable price with work, but a 350hp Subaru is a blast to drive I don’t care who you are. And probably go faster due to lesswheel spin and relying on driving skill instead
And this is why bmws and the American v8s are more relevant now. Coyotes making 900+whp with just boost and fuel mods on e85. Bmws 335's making 500whp with boltons and a tune. Well said. Great looking sti man.
@@OneslowS4Golf R makes 400whp fairly easy. Subaru's new FA24 is fairly decent. Ford's Ecoboost are pretty slept on too. I've seen Explorer STs with 700+ whp.

Type ra block can hold 500whp bone stock so 400 should be fine. My fa20 is making 860whp and my ej is at 1150whp
I just traded my 2017 STI in for a 2020. Definitely planning on going your route. Now, where to find $22,000?
I’m looking to either build my motor, buy an iag block or get an Ra block and throw rods in it because I want 500whp in my 05 sti. I think I might just get a bcp x500r and flex fuel setup and all supporting mods including oiling etc and make 380-400whp until I figure it out. Can I make 500whp on a good tmic?
what year (newer) is the best warx sti is to buy (when it comes like now blowing head gaskets issues?)
2021
Why do you have the cylinder 4 cooling mod if you put on equal length headers? Doesnt the equal length already significantly reduce the temps for cylinder 4?
Had it prior to going el and left it on.
Looks clean af props
Kindly asking because I'm building a Perrin Catalog (Semi) build of WRX STI VA. And I'm changing my TMIC to FMIC is it alright? Because I already bought one hahahaha what would be the pro's and con's using FMIC? I'm planning to go stock block until 400whp can it withold it?
My current build is:
- Stock block
- Invidia r400
- Injen CAI -> changing it to Perrin CAI
- Tomei UEL
- Cobb AP (When I bought the car it's already included but will remove this and go to ECUTEK tune.)
- Torque Cylinder 4
- Crawford AOS
Upcoming parts:
- Perrin FMIC
- HKS Oil cooler
- Power Steering cooler (Planning to get one too)
In the future:
- Forged Internals
- Bigger Turbo (Maybe afterwards)
If you can give more more details would be great.
Thank you.

cleanest subbie I've ever seen
People get way too tied up on numbers nowadays nobody actually goes out and DRIVES. Yes my stage 3 stil makes "only" 350hp...But i'm absolutely demolishing everything else in the canyons/mountains and having the time of my life doing it. I've been at stage 3 for a few years now on my 18 sti (28k miles) After the killer b kit upgrade and a radiator I think im ready for some bws goodness.
Could you go over the headers. I been looking into killer b elh. But there's so many options.
What's the difference between 2 or 3 bolts?
Can you run the header with the stock up pipe? Or recommended to get the whole set up?
When is it recommended to go external wastegate?
You'll want to go with 2 bolt if you are running a stock like setup. 3 bolt is usually pertaining to more custom setups.
Yes, you can run them with stock up pipe. I ran them this way for a while before I went to EWG and changed the turbo.
I would recommend doing EWG either way. It's safer overall as it allows your tuner to fine tune your map and eliminates the potential of boost creep (most associated with catless setups).
For the average joe's like us that just want a good quality header on a stock like setup, the 2 bolt basic killer b head is what you want to go with.
Great build
Good video Sir Pretty car...Sounds great 👍
I've had 4 imprezas, but I think I'm done with ICE cars now. My experience included having them maintained by specialists while in the UK and in Australia. I had Zen Performance look after my 22B while in the UK, and then Pulse in Sydney. The reason I chose these companies was because of their experience in Time Attack. That said, the costs to properly maintain a car are not cheap. I'm much more inclined these days to run a Tesla model 3 performance, and cant wait for the upcoming highland version, which I understand will be "Ludicrous", with possible 670-680 bhp, and no transmission issues. It will be reliable, and the model has had some great upgrades into highland spec. Really cant wait to upgrade.
As for this, I think time has passed these cars by.
I have a 2017 STI. I want to take things slow as well.
In your experience would I be able to go stage 1+ (accessport/intake) without any reliability mods?
Or should I get the accessport / Intake and get the cylinder 4, aos immediately with it?
I would definitely go ahead and do the aos and cyl 4 mod either way. Even if you are stock as they are two things that will greatly benefit the longevity and health of the motor.
@@Autofreakgarage your the man! Thank you 🙌🏽
Are there any issues with passing inspection? I'm in NY and I know back in the day if you had anything that was OB2 or newer (basically 1996 and up), ECUs needed to be plugged into to pass inspection. I understand the Cobb AP is just reflashing the ECU, but would the car run on a stock tune? Even if just for a few minutes to pass inspection? IDK what is required of your inspections in NJ, but just curious if you have run into any hiccups...thanks!

Love the video, I want to increase power and reliability also, I read the description, can you list the parts?
ruclips.net/video/ZWempNSD8qE/видео.htmlsi=1LAoOAm6471TvvsC
May i ask what product and process you use to maintain the black plastics in the front and back bumper? Im not sure which one from the list of products in the description. Thanks
The whole car (including plastics) is ceramic coated with gtechniq csl and exov4.
Quick question. Does your car pass smog with that setup? If not. How do you or where do you go smog it?
We don’t have smog in nj but it passes emissions here in nj. It’s a catted setup so nothing emissions wise is removed from the setup.
@@Autofreakgarage wow. here in cali they are so strict with the emission so i dont know what to do if i do stage 1 or 2 and needs a smog
do you have any idea what causes the P0016 issue with subbies? I got this error right after i changed my clutch.
So I’m getting killer b headers with v band and up pip, any reason why you went with your particular up pip and dump tube vs the killer b? Also noticed the killer b doesn’t come with dump tube is that a bad thing?
Since I was going EWG, I wanted the dump and plm was the only option available at the time.
What stage wouldan iag closed deck block, fp black turbo, injector dynamics 1700cc, double fuel pumps, hobbs switch, cobb flex fuel, ets front mount all titanium piping, 600hp. What stage would that be considered?
that isnt stage anymore, stage is for like mods on stock stuff. Once you are built you just say "its built" not "stage 31533215"
@@rylandorr i was just being sarcastic while listing the modifications on my built 2015 STi haha thanks tho
Did you use the Cobb nexgen power package fuel lines, rails and regulator? As it supposedly able to go around tgvs
I run stock tgv’s, but I run the previous Cobb fuel kit before thr “nexgen” came out.
how is the turbo spool time compared to stock? I'm wanting to get a turbo that will keep a similar responsiveness while adding to the top end.
That’s exactly what I wanted and got from the Blouch 1.5. Spoiled about 200-300 rpm’s sooner and held on up top where the stock turbo died off after 5200.
Do you think the older the car the harder the power? I have a 2000 Impreza wagon and I’m thinking about just taking the engine out to put a 2.5 in it. I would use the engine I have already with 75k miles buts it’s a 2.2l. My goal is to make 400-450
Not necessarily. The engine just needs to be healthy and in good shape. I would do a refresh of the 2.5 before it goes back in.
Coming from only FA experience, this is cool to see. Obviously the EJ starts with a pretty big head start, but it doesn't take much to get the FA in that 350 whp range where the STi also sat pre-turbo (as long as you're fine with taking trans risks).
Fa is a great platform that doesn’t take much to get power. It’s just a new FI motor where the ej is a dinosaur in comparison. Although, I will say the same power level in an fa and ej do feel quiet different overall.
I feel like 22k Is a lot for 400whp, considering you have a top mount etc.. I cant recall if you said in your video or not, but there are def cheaper routes to get that much power safely, and yes on pump gas. For 22k, you could have a 500x block from Bader, and a Green, plus cooling and fuel for less. While I think your build is gorgeous and an example of how to do things in a very tasteful way, to me it seems that you chose expensive parts on purpose, for just the sake of spending the cash, and thats fine. Its a beautiful build, thats for sure.
Oh yeah man, Definitely. These motors can be pretty risky when done up and or tuned incorrectly with the right Combinations and the perfect tune, you can push more power especially with E85
I just sold my Evo looking to get a 2019 STI . What’s the most STI can handle on stock motor ?
On a 2019+, I wouldn’t go over 450
Damn after watching multiple videos i regret not upgrading my fuel lines and rails
Engine bay looks great!
Question bec i wanna do this setup but dont no if i should go higher boost bec i wanna hear the turbo spooling at low rpms do this happen to you currently ?
In order to accomplish that, you’ll need a much bigger turbo.
How much of that was labor cost? I work on my own subie, tends to be way cheaper!!!
I have a 2016 STI with a perrin intake, cobb catted turboback and the full fuel system from cobb. I was dyno tuned at Boostin Performance and I only made 276 wheel hp on a mustang dyno. That seems rlly low no? also my DAM is at 0.000 now and the knock has been crazy, i took my car back 3 times and they never could "find any problems". Car runs like shit and isnt making boost anymore. Im taking the car to a new tuner this week hoping to get this figured out. Any ideas?? Im about to just sell the car at this point.
There is definitely something going on. Can’t really diagnose what may be the issue on here since you would really need to do some digging to see what’s going on.
Why did you get cylinder 4 cooling mod if you got equal length headers? I’m new to Ej platform
Had it prior to el headers. Recommend it either way.
E85 eliminates, cooling problems and lowers risk of knock.
You had said you went stage 1, 1+ then 3 how much did you spend to get it to stage 3 with the reliability mods. And what if you did that all at once? Thanks. Ps sick sti yo

Rock solid 👌. I'd be happy with 350whp.
So would this change with a 11-14 or can they produce the same type of performance?
Basically the same thing. I have an 11' just did a fully built motor. Getting ready for the new tune.
Would 350 hp be attainable on the stock turbo and intercooler if I had all the other supporting mods ?
Yes. I was 340hp/352tq on stock turbo and all the supporting mods before I upgraded to the turbo and went ewg.
I made about 325 whp and 340 tq on 91, with intake, Inlet, tmic, bpv, ebcs, dp, fpr, fuel pump, catback. Along with typical reliability mods.
Currently doing a elh (coated holy header), 1050 injectors, rails, lines, and flex fuel kit. I’m aiming for about 350whp 360-380tq . I got my 21 sti new, so cost of car, cosmetics, wheels and reliability mods, tuning I’m about 85k into.
Are you close to max on your 1050s with this set up? I am trying to decide between 1050s or 1300s and want it kind of future proof.
60%. Plenty of headroom.
That’s a clean engine bay.
Bruh I just got a 2016 sti And am planning done with on it so i was hoping for Honda numbers😅 for cost but when you hit me with 22 😢
BTW, the fa24 pushes impressive numbers with just a basic tune. I loved my old ej's as well but reliability and power have definitely been improved.
Right now I'm using a Jb4 and running e30. Haven't dynoed my car yet but others with similar mods are making good power. Of course Cobb is the way to go vs jb4 but at only 2000 miles on my new car I'm not ready to flash the ecu but the jb4 is very satisfying for what it is.....
I have 2021 sti., everything is stock, i dont drive like crazy., i drive normal ., you think there would be any problems with the car?
Maintain it properly and it will treat you well.
I love how you did your car the first time. I'm going for the same thing with mine. Don't get me wrong I love Devin and Baders channels but they push them stock motors way to far. Everytime they turn around they are blowing them up. Sets a bad example for people who don't have their knowledge on tearing down engines and rebuilding them. Also it's a complete waste of money whether you can afford to like them or not. That Remmy kid on their channel is even worse. He just a spoiled rich kid.
Feel the same way
The point of their channels IS to blow them up, testing the limits to the max, this channel is different
@@littlefoot4417 yeah I like this channel and Smeedia way better even though Devin has more subs.
Devins and Baders channel is literally meant to push the motors limits and also they beat the shit out of them because they know they can rebuild it themselves and also serves as content.Devin has cleared this up many tines how he enjoys beating on them because knows he can just fix it have you seen his videos he has rebuilt a full motor in 2 days that man is a god with subarus
You have to remember that devin enjoys what he does just like everyone else with what they do. I wouldn’t really try to compare when two channels do two different things. Devin also just likes to push the boundaries, he’s got the money to do it
You didn't upgrade block? Thought block limit was around 400hp?
Stock block never opened. Torque is what kills these motors quickly. 350 is the max I’d do for torque.
Where you get that hood light?? Never mind found it
In the description 👍🏻
@Scoobyfreak86 thanks beautiful car man, shit and garage hope I get there with my 17 sti one day.
I just realised something…did you keep all of the emissions items on your sti? Did you not do tgv deletes or the secondary air pump delete? You kept all your emissions stuff intact? Because I want to go cobb but I know they have a green speed update which doesn’t allow emissions related stuff to be deleted anymore. Debating on going open source
It was completely emission compliant. Didn’t remove anything and passed no problem.
@@Autofreakgarage wow! That’s impressive! Even with the external wastegate they gave you no issues?
@jmt0728 no issues
Do you know how to make a reliable 2011 Impreza WRX on 91 octane and visible body mods
I would go a similar approach with a wrx as well.
@@Autofreakgarage thanks for the info and do you lose the unique Subaru sound with the equal length headers
In the upper rpm range, yes. But down low, it still has a good amount of rumble.
Would this set up work for a 2012 Sti hatch with a type RA block?
Yes
People doubting reliability forget its a subaru and some people tune these to 1000hp+
U think of can push 400 on a open deck ej?
Could. Mine was a stock block never opened and was pushing 413 no problem.
Wow, love the video but I think your prices are a little bit off
Video is 2.5 years old and that’s what I paid when I built this car.
Did you upgrade the clutch at all?
Stock clutch
what are these wheels? i see them everywhere but i cant seem to find the name on them

Rule of thumb with Subaru
Buy once, cry once, be happy
Bro at 3:01 looks 8 feet tall 😂 Thanks for the vid!
Haha standing on the table
Can we get the list of the parts? 🙏🏻
First post forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2830462
What is ur EWG spring rate??
It opens up at around 13-14 psi.
What is cost for this
You can get 350 hp in an sti for a reasonable price with work, but a 350hp Subaru is a blast to drive I don’t care who you are. And probably go faster due to lesswheel spin and relying on driving skill instead
@340 was it with a stock turbo ?
Yes sir
@@Autofreakgarage what size injector ?
Same as I mentioned in the video, 1050.
Did you change your clutch ?
Stock clutch
will a blow off valve affect the hp?
I don’t run a bov. I run a bpv, although if you have a faulty one that leaks, it will effect the overall power.
And this is why bmws and the American v8s are more relevant now. Coyotes making 900+whp with just boost and fuel mods on e85. Bmws 335's making 500whp with boltons and a tune. Well said. Great looking sti man.
Don't ever forget them Audis
@@OneslowS4Golf R makes 400whp fairly easy.
Subaru's new FA24 is fairly decent.
Ford's Ecoboost are pretty slept on too. I've seen Explorer STs with 700+ whp.
What exhaust setup is this
