    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.

    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

    • @Autofreakgarage
      @Autofreakgarage  Рік тому +6

      "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.

    The FA24 engine block seems very robust. Some people are pushing it really hard with the limiting factor being fueling.
    Its certainly no sti (nothing can touch the sti drivetrain), but it sure as heck seems cheaper to mod.

    - 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)

      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.

    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.

    • @Autofreakgarage
      @Autofreakgarage  Рік тому

      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.

    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?

    • @Autofreakgarage
      @Autofreakgarage  Рік тому +1

      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.

    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.

      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.

  • @juanticimo

    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.

    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.

    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).

    • @Autofreakgarage
      @Autofreakgarage  Рік тому

      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'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.
