Just got off the phone with James- great guy and very knowledgeable. He definitely helped me figure out the best route to take for my build and answered all my noob-ish questions regarding building my old long-block vs getting a turn-key. While I'm fairly confident I can assemble the internals, check clearances, torque everything to spec, etc... I wouldn't really be saving that much money considering everything that's needed to be done to prep the old block-halves and heads for a +600whp build. Anyways, I just said "fuck it" and got the IAG 900 long-block plus all supporting mods to go with my ETS rotated Precision 6266 turbo. Couldn't pass up that black Friday deal.
Jason Grant Evo’s and Honda’s have been well north of 1000 whp for years in terms of 4 cylinder performance, and it’ll cost way less then building a Subaru lol
Spoke with James the other day about my stg 2.5 closed deck build. Not only was James very friendly and was genuinely concerned that I made the right choices, he's def knowledgeable on the best route to take for my HP goals and building a reliable motor. Thanks a million James!

Congrats James! Let me know if you will be taking it to a strip in the MD area, would love to come take some photos. Thanks again for all the help on my build, she is running great. 500 AWHP in a daily driver is a lot of fun.
Bro do you think the stock suspension (05 sti) minus torque solutions stronger motor mounts /tranny pitch mount will be ok @ 500 awhp? Pleasw E respond thanks!
@@alexortega714 Not sure if you were asking me or James, but I think if you have 500awhp the stock motor mounts and pitch stop will end up failing. I am using IAG's mounts/pitch stop with their street series bushings and so far after about 1 year no problems.
James I love this concept (sleeper), stock appearance but...wait for the action! Probably the best advertising + have fun for you will be to go to Drag Week, Sick week or Rocky mountain Week such events like those...Drive an Drag! 8"50 is probably the most disputed class.
This is Sooooo cool insane. I have a 2009 wrx uk and just starting to mod it. What wheel and tires do you have and are they just for the strip. 💯💯💯💯🤘🤘🤘🤘🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can achieve 600+whp on a huge top mount. My 03 wrx I had was 717whp daily driver. . I didnt want a front mount. The way the air funnels through the top has been proven to stay cooler. You might blow it off if launched hard. But it is a quick fix. Better clamps and boom. Go!. That was on a bug eye. I dont know how air flows around the body on the 08. Nice build. Love scoobys
I have a question - is the CNC program same as the one with Prodrive? Or made with a „collaboration“ with? I seek only for real reliability guys... Is it possible to build 9.2 (.5?) compression ratio safe engine, to max. 500 BHP? I would want responsiveness, efficiency and reliability (fully closed lvl engine)
Will Harris I have seen reverse mounts go over the alternator. Not as clean looking as a relocate but still so much less intercooler piping. Plus more racecar means more betterer.

Sure you can drive it across country but what do you do about fuel. Retune every state for octane? Midwest has Ethanol for days but from one coast to the other what do you do
If you paid a shop to build your car, can you still tell people you built the car or is that classified as bought not built because you havent done the work but paid for it?
Built not bought just means that your power come from from mods not Factory. Even if you managed to do everything this guy did by yourself you still had to pay for the parts.
@Sergio Aguirre Not talking about Dynapaks/hub dynos. Dyno Dynamics is a mans dyno because it reads 15-16% lower than a dynojet. Even mustang dynos can read lower than dynojets so out of all of them dynojets are the biggest ego boosters.
@Sergio Aguirre You're missing the point. Did you not read the original comment? Nobody here is talking about what a dyno is guy. No shit it's a tool just like you but people who care about numbers will stick to a dynojet. It makes you a man because you dont care about numbers. My tuner has had customers get tuned on his dyno dynamics and be so butt hurt they go to a dynojet just to inflate their ego. What do you drive?
Nope. James and I built my car almost same set up. I just have mine tuned way down because I'm not a savage. At 840 I'm totally happy and it's still cheaper and way more fun and reliable than a hellcat or demon or any other 40k+ car. You just have to know how to work on cars and not watch fast and furious and think every car you see with an exhaust is gonna run a 10 second pass. Not bashing you at all just sayin it's not as expensive as people think. No it's not 10k but it's not 100k or even 50k or 40k.
Seth Burggraf idk about more reliable, sure you’re using high quality parts, but 1066 hp is a lot of strain on even a forged block.... definitely not more reliable then a built LS, and not nearly as cheap to build as a LS either lol.... downside of Subaru’s, they’re expensive to build compared to other vehicles. And it’s going to be well over 100k for buying the car/building to that power level on a newer STi hatch like this one... if you are good friends with a builder or have the skill, tools and knowledge to do it yourself it’ll cost way less money wise (time/tools invested would be a lot though, time is money), but this isn’t a regular old turbo kit, this is custom fabricated stuff...
@@sleeper.simulant7327 I can throw forged pistons better rods and bearings, a decent cam and a set of good flowing heads on a 350 small block. Fill it with cement and make whatever power level I want with or without forced induction for literally less than 2k. You can make any combustion engine make any amount of power and uneducated people will always tell you they know better. When you can tune for load, timing, injector latency and open cycle then go back to a carb and do the same thing come talk to me, with time slips. Not some stupid username with no knowledge about the actual cost of building a car. A "built ls" ? I'm glad u and ur buddies drink naty light and talk about 4 bangers and built ls motors. A 10 year old can buy a 150$ pull it junk yard ls 327 and turbo it and make power. No reason it or a subaru cant be reliable. I guess you wouldn't understand you drive everything sideways which tends to break shit pretty fast.
Seth Burggraf no knowledge? When I was in my late teens (before I had a family, actually had $ back then lol) I bought and swapped a ej25 into a cheap gf8 hatch I picked up for $1000. Fun little car. Between time and money spent (was able to save a little out of pocket due to contacts I had), I was still a little over $10k into the car. Minor bolt on ej25, upgraded clutch and other supporting parts... long story short it spun a bearing 7 months later. Cut my losses and parted out the car. So I have experience with Subaru. Fun to drive? Definitely. But compared to a Honda or a Evo, they seem like a waste of money to build.... and yeah you can make any engine make any amount of power, but how much will it cost and how long will it run for? You could make a smart cars 3 cylinder have 1000 whp, you’ll sink over $100k into it, but it’s possible... EJ’s are expensive to build to big power levels and maintain reliability. It’s possible, but it’s going to cost you. I’d like to see what building this car would actually cost for this level of power, actual slips on what a normal customer would actually pay for a build like this. So, buying the car, buying all the parts needed, tuning sessions, etc. it’s well over $100k for everything, guaranteed...

Why no rotated intake? WRC was doing that in the 90's and most of the fastest drag cars do too. How do you run so much boost with a tiny intercooler?
Ric James if you go reverse mount intake manifold you have to delete the AC compressor and relocate the alternator to the old spot of the compressor.
