Alright some of you may know I'm having a new short block put into my STi. I'm currently looking at some investments and improvements. #1 a new turbo, the current one is stock or I'm assuming its stock. What would be the best one to get? I'm seeing ones from 500$ to $2000. I'm thinking of upgrading and would spend around 1000$ but, if its worth spending more I'd like to know what and why. #2 replacing the clutch or getting a new one current one looks stock, and maybe could be replaced. But could prob go another 40-50k if I shift well and if I would need one to go to the power I currently would want. #3 TGV Delete possibly or other things alike. Some goals I'm looking into: Hit 400-450 WHP The new shortblock im using is the built one from project sonic so I know I should be able to push this no problem. Here is some of the progress the new short-block This happend to the head when the piston broke, should just buff out I hope doing some head work while the engine is a apart this is what happened to my piston
I had the hta68 on my 2.5 hybrid. I loved the fast spool and it held well at 25 pounds. It's reasonably priced but probably wouldn't hit your goal for hp.
25 lbs seems like a lot! Nuke suggested : http://www.bptstore.com/Subaru-WRXSTi-20G-XT-R-Turbocharger-_p_122.html 20g-xt-r
For your turbo, Precision PTE5557. Get the small cover and it'll fit in stock location. Run the biggest top mount (AMR???) you can get and some 1000cc injectors. On pump gas you should see 425whp or so, go to the corn whiskey and you can get up to around 500whp. Friend of mine is running this setup on his stock 06 STi longblock (heads have NEVER been off) on e85. 503awhp for the last year.
Got the car running again, all back together and running fine. I went to the cities to get Nuke to retune the beast. found out I need a new Fuel pump. Ordered: DeatschWerks 300 Series Fuel Pump http://www.rallysportdirect.com/DeatschWerks-300lph-Fuel-Pump and AEM UEGO Wideband Controller AFR Gauge http://www.rallysportdirect.com/AEM-UEGO-Wideband-Controller-AFR-Gauge Going to convert my fuel pump to the in the engine fuel pump the WRX one. Along with that I'm going to pick up one of these: Electronic Boost Control Solenoid 3-Port - Subaru http://www.grimmspeed.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=60_33_36_154&products_id=145 whats currently in the process is rebuilding my other struts, the ones I put in are complete trash, and break pads.
That turbo looks tasty. I see a lot of national tuners telling people not to run that bcs for cars they tune. Suppose it's all tuner preference though.
That 20 gxt R should do you just fine. My 18gxt is SAID to get 430 crank hp. That's plenty for me. I do understand that more must go into for that goal. Not looking for that goal though.
Ok, not to thread jack, why spend the extra 300$ for another 10 hp? Are we talking spool and top end speed?
