I think most people use sti parts not because they want to make their car an sti but because the sti parts are very nice. I put an sti wing on my 23 and it looks awesome. If I wanted an sti I would have bought one.
I agree too many snooty types make it out like we bought our WRX because we couldn't afford an STI. There's an overlap where a new base STI cost less than the most expensive versions of WRX's. I've owned 2 WRX's. My first in 2011 when my income was less, but I could still comfortably afford the STI if I wanted. Even in 2018 where I had budgeted over $20k the ceiling of a new STI, still I took the WRX cuz the WRX does 95% of what the STI does. The other 5% are only realized in a track setting and I would never track my daily. I would rather have a dedicated track car, or take lessons using the track rentals. Most of the time it is the least expensive option unless you're planning to do track days all the time, but honestly who has that kind of time?
For 500whp or more you need port injection, different intake manifold like the BRZ or Process West. But to the owner cool to see a different setup where the turbo sits but my experience with TMIC seeing those IATs i switched to FMIC 2 weeks later lol. Whenever i decide install my upgraded turbo i will be using the Boostlab 54X turbo on stock motor, Nostrum HPFP and Injectors, process west intake manifold (non port injection) with FBOs on E60 and will push the stock motor to 470 whp+ & 400 tq on stock clutch lol. Currently i am at 365/360 with FBOs with E60 tune stock turbo with conservative phatbotti tune.
@@k20a2toofast4u Also the dyno really makes a difference. For years people have said the Mustang Dyno is a heartbreaker because it typically reads much lower than others. Also has you already know, you can goof around with the parameters of any Dyno to get it to spit out a much higher estimate. You hear Dyno "estimates" all the time but it's rarely backed up with a "G-meter" before and after result. I think that is important for those looking to get into tuning. You have to have a tangible goal. Otherwise you're just chasing ghost.
Really nice build! Im tuned by migtuned also. Stock motor as was but with port injection and sti drivetrain swap, socal v4 and all the other bolt on goodies. Definitely recommended sti drivetrain before anything because the wrx trans is glass and WILL break. Better to start saving for one now and prepare for the future.
Definitely a future mod, but it has held up amazingly so far. No issues at all. As long as I keep the torque lower it should hold for what I want to make. But one day that swap will happen. And also, Migtuned for life!!✊🏽
Now go ride in a full bolt on tuned vb wrx they can make 500 on stock motor and over 600 with head studs mine makes 390 with fmic intake catback n a tune on 93
Going for 500 soon. Stock block record for FA’s is around 650 I think. I know a few people with stock blocks and internals making around 620. Uniqueness is key in the car community nowadays, so much hate for no reason. If this video can help someone feel better about there car or inspire them to do something like this, that’s what matters
props to this car, it's nice. i got a 2015 and don't want to be like a sti but would like a sti 6 speed transmission once i go aftermarket turbo, and no dirty mechanic touches her but me. im prepping to do my clutch and good to hear that this is a stock clutch as i was kind of regretting buying a oem replacement rather then aftermarket
These cars can do a lot of everything’s done properly. Like yeah there’s some technique involved in launching and flat footing so you don’t kill the clutch. But it’s all a learning process. I don’t think i mentioned it in the video but there was one oil line that was giving me problems and blew off twice! Ran completely out of oil in 3 seconds. Fixed it and filled it up and not a noise to be heard. These engines can handle a good bit
Very awesome and unique build. I would have liked to see a BRZ manifold, Front mounted IC, then the oil cooler where the TMIC was, but this was something different and seemed to perform well. STI drivetrain swap will be mandatory to turn up the power more!
Definitely will be getting the process west intake manifold with port injection. And sadly will have to go front mount. I love the top mount tho, sticks with the Subaru heritage
@@pgh_wrx Very nice. What route do you plan to go for port injection? I have heard of some failures with the IBR SIC01 but the motec is just so damn expensive.
He makes me feel better 😂😂😂 I thought I was the only one who bought a Wrx 15k and has now 70k miles with stock clutch goes to show you migtune the man his tunes are 100% safe for the cars
Very sick build. To much red and black theme I would’ve taken off a bit and made it more sleek/stock looking but then again it has a huge fender exit 😂. 400+ on a FA motor is normal here in AZ. I have a couple friends running a flex fuel kit , injectors, fuel pump & a bigger turbo running 400+ on a stock motor. It all depends on maintenance, oil & obviously the tuner. It seems like subie tuners are finally understanding how to make that power consistently and “ reliably “. That turbo spool sounds insane on camera can’t imagine in person!!
Stock ecu, no MAF, no aos lines going to the turbo, besides the ones going to the Pcv valve. Cobb boost controller (set up a certain way). Really the only sensor is the 4 bar map
Nice build I own a 2018 sti 140,000km complete stock and runs great still, the only thing that’s odd to me since it’s my first subie is that it shakes like a v8 lol is that normal?
I mean he got the car used with couple thousand miles on it has he verified that his engine hasn't been opened up and upgraded ext prior too ownership?
@pgh_wrx 🤙 if you or anyone ya kno would be interested here soon ill have a new sale post up been going threw all my parts left over from past couple builds most of the parts are new I' recently had something pop up forsale that I've been wanting for awhile so too help get as much extra funds together that I can I'm going too be listing awesome prices too sell quick and give others the opertunity too score deals for there builds win win deal I heard in the video you say something about going fmic in the future possibly so wanted too lyk I currently have a perrin big fmic kit with pipeing and upgraded hps 4ply high psi and temp silicone couplers and turbosmart constant tension clamps id give ya a great deal on couple other items I have are methanol injection kit dual port set up , rotated setup, fuel system upgrade, 3 defi bf 60mm gauges, couple precision turbos , fp35r with ewg on houseing, greddy t67 , greddy 20g , gtx3584r gen 2 , greddy type r external wastegate and much more if interested lmk and I can let you kno on what I have and prices I can due for you

When you “Select All” for the shopping cart
I wish, still so much more to do haha

Dude reminds me of ricer chronicles. Drifting an awd . Prove me wrong it's not the same dude
I’m gonna have to look it up haha never heard of that.

Oh yea

You do know that a va Wrx Sti wing will fit a va Wrx like a glove right? You do know it’s the same chassis right.
I’ve had one, then I had a battle aero wing, now the carbon trunk. Definitely something for everyone. Just based on preference

amazing build bro....
Appreciate that!! I’ve already done so much more since this video. Literally maxed out on performance mods. Just need a built block now✊🏽
As long as you keep that torque down but 440 and 375 thats playing with fire. Looks nice though.
Old setup with the stock turbo and side exit made 385whp and 390tq. Shooting for 500 with the next bit of mods

This sick to hear ! Glad tuners are I always thought anything over 300 would blow them up lol. It sounded sick way louder too
That's not unheadof power at all. It's actually prtty midrange now at his point.
Bryan has a dope car
For sure loved making this video glad he was down to !
Nice video and build 🎉
Thank you !
Stock ecu on cobb accesport? Im curious on how is ur boost controller setup and im on speed density but couldnt get rid of the maf?
Stock ecu, no MAF, no aos lines going to the turbo, besides the ones going to the Pcv valve. Cobb boost controller (set up a certain way). Really the only sensor is the 4 bar map
Sick build
It really is !
YUM
Nice!!
Nice build I own a 2018 sti 140,000km complete stock and runs great still, the only thing that’s odd to me since it’s my first subie is that it shakes like a v8 lol is that normal?
Yes very common in all subies. To minimize it get aftermarket motor mounts. Since you have an ej25 it’s super easy to replace them
Thanks bro
What you have to do to fix that, is just relax and enjoy 😉
pretty dope build where you located around im in NY with a WRX 400 hp stock block stock turbo runninh e85 anf full bolt ons
Located around the Pittsburgh PA area
I mean he got the car used with couple thousand miles on it has he verified that his engine hasn't been opened up and upgraded ext prior too ownership?
Yes have verified, has not been opened or built internally

Don’t make a WRX nicer? Only names sti wing. Well my WRX has a carbon wing
literally nobody cares lol
