Next round of Mods

I'm looking at getting my next wave of parts ordered in the next day or two. I'm looking at getting a dp and intake setup along with ic hoses(not for performance so much but for the red theme). Ben can get Perrin or TXS for the dp, Erik(Dream) recommended Invidia, and Jason said save money and get ERZ. I'm even more confused now as to DP than before I started asking people for help. More than likely I will get the KandN typhoon for the intake setup and Perrin for the hoses. The car already has Cobb cbe and ap. Does anyone forsee any problems with this setup? I'm hoping to get around 300whp and be done with the car and hopefully with the new stage 2 map be P0244 free. Money is not an object, I want reliability and quality.

Edit - I'd like the longer dp also that would remove not only the dp cat but also the 2nd and 3rd cats before the cbe.

 

ERZ....and also, that thing is gonna REALLY spank evos now

 

Pete, I thought your car was already a stage 2 Sti.
And you should change your username to 25StiMN.

 

Justin never shows up on nites I'm there so I can't bribe him to change it :?

 

you dont have to bribe me. it just takes a $20 donation.

 

Have you considered changing turbos? I'd go with GT32 twin scroll turbo for 300whp for street. This is a relly nice turbo, great spool up with twin scroll technology. The stock turbo just isn't efficient enough to make 300whp all day 24/7 IMO.

Some people have gotten 300whp out of the stock turbo, but that's making it work hard as well. You can hit it with a well tuned ECU and supporting mods for sure but for me I'd change turbos.

 

OMG NO, no more brands..lol Do you have a shop here Steve-o? I don't know if I've actually met you before - I may have seen you or your car at some point. Also, where are you located(or your shop)?

 

have you ever seen russ hanging onto a leash? steveo is usually on the other end. he works for tintmasters in bum fuch no where.

 

erg.. forogt what issue but ina subiesport they got like 277whp out of a sti w/ just a dp (forgot brand) and a utec.

BTW: isnt the Helix DP almost identical to the Invidia one, except liek 200 less?

 

pete you think to much. just buy one, the bellmouths are pretty much all the same.

 

This is sort of OT again, but would the technicians notice of i put on a different DP?(warranty) im assuming they would but just trying to figure out some mods i can do with out voiding my warranty ?

 

the cobb cb is an oem doughnut style flange.
keep that in mind when ordering a dp.

 

or you can ghetto-fab them together.

 

um..yes they would notice...especially with no heat shield or a hacked up heat shield.

 

fargo is bum fuch no where

 

whoa! i thought you were gonna keep it stock for a while pete? what happen?

 

hehehe i guess 300chp wasnt enogh for pete.

 

Steve-O...its too bad I didn't know you were up there - I was just in Grand Forks two weekends ago and I could've stopped on the way home. How much for the Injen piece and are you coming to the cities anytime soon? Worst case scenario my friends I stayed with up there are coming to the cities in a couple weeks and I can check and see if they could pick it up from you if this is the dp I decide to go with. Thanks!

 

If money isn't an issue and since you already have the Cobb catback, why don't you look into getting the Cobb downpipe?

You are pretty much guaranteed a perfet fitment, top quality build, and won't have any problems with you AccessPort.

 

I did kick that around and Jason said the cobb was the stromung with a cobb label slapped on it. He said if I were to get that one I should save the money and get the stromung. What I'm wondering though if there's something better out there but as Jake said earlier I may be overanalyzing this as most of the bellmouths are fairly similar. I'm waiting to hear back on price from a couple different places so we'll see what happens.

 

you do tend to overanalize things

 

^ Everything will be perfect on this car 8)

 

you can alway replace th enon perfect parts with moreperfect ones.

Truth

 

i saw someones helix downpipe a few days ago and it looked mint! nice welds, smooth bends. and it was only like 260 or 280 or something including shipping, cel fix and gaskets

 

This might be useful to someone else considering dp so I'll post my research(yes Erik's, I'm analyzing )

Gruppe-S Helix DP 285 shipped + cel fix(calling today to check stock)

WorldOne(unsure of shipping or CEL fix)
Helix DP 250
Invidia V.2 DP 330
Invidia V.2 3/4 Polish 275

Cobb - DP 425+shipping(OUCH :shock: )

Import Boost(has anyone worked with them? also unsure of stock)
Helix DP 280 shipped? on website
Invidia DP(this one didn't say v.2 but I'm assuming)315
Invidia V.2 DP 259

Norm Reeves(I-club)
Carries Invidia and Helix(should have prices and stock today)

Evasive - Helix DP 239 + shipping(out of stock)

 

quit bein so picky, just get a helix its the best option for the money. you dont need a cel fix with your accessport either.

 

and your doing a mighty fine job too!

 

Ordered - Invidia divorced wastegate DP from Istoreparts.com. 297 2-day shipped to Jet hot 8) I will have a new toy soon

 

cool! cant wait to see what it does.

 

Shipped to Jet-Hot yesterday(FINALLY!!!) 8)

 

Downpipe is getting installed today. I should be running stage 2 by tonite provided nothing goes horribly wrong. While its in there the intake silencer is also getting removed. w00t!

 

i heard it rips your sack off now at stage 2

 

You and Jason, round two... 8)

 

Just got it back...I didn't get to stretch it out much but it sounds friggin sweet and seems to have a little more grunt. Yes, Erik...Round 2 will be soon fer shizzle.

Instead of just frumroll round 2 will consist of a frumdig as well.

 

bring out the camera! ding, ding, ding! begin!

 

subytech said his neck hurts, also he said it makes is stage 2 rex feel like a snail. he knowz his shizzle

 

8) WOW!!!! :twisted: :twisted:

Thanks to subytech and driftin240 for hookin that up today. The difference in power is unreal and it sounds awesome!! I laid it down all the way in 5th and 6th and no cel..I think that problem is a thing of the past.

Stage 2 = t3h w1n
