    What do you mean by cooling?

    Flipped manifold + small diameter piping + front mount = the goods.

    Factory oil cooler will be best for a street car.

    Injectors? Depends on your set up really.

    What STi \'parts\' will be using to make a \'STi\' motor?

    Finally, I see you\'re in Chch so I would suggest talking to SAS, Gotasuby and rex-leggy as they\'re local members who have built some serious engines.

    And I have a going v5 sti motor, but needs a rebuilt. so thought how can i improve on what a sti has to offer without going to overboard.

    More to spooling a turbo than an ecu.

    ^^ This.

    Things to look into are A/M exhaust and intake systems. Front facing plenum. Cams with head work. Also the basics like the method of how the piping is done so to allow less restriction and a smoother flow. For example removing the stock flexi in the up pipe or changing to a silicone intake that removes the plastic corrugated stock part. You\'ll also need to upgrade fuel supply in most older cars

    Others can fill in the finer details but this is what you can start researching

    Yea i currently will have twisted up and down pipe set, 3inch strait through exhaust, will have aftermarket fule pump, intercooler and the possum link. And the reason im asking is i want to know what the limits are for a sti motor. What the best combination is. I like the td turbos as they are a solid turbo compared to others. Im just trying to play with combinations.

    Such a loaded question. But a td05 with an upgraded wheel might be what you are looking at... Fitment wise I think td06 is getting to the limit?

    Also be prepared for lagg unless you have a fully worked engine

    ok, yea il be running bigger intercooler and possum link. I have read they lagg to like you say. just wondering how much of that a proper tune will cut out.

    does it specifically need to be a v2 sti? or do you mind the v4 mid height one or the v5 table top one?. I have a v4 one in white just sitting in my roof space may need bolts replacing underneath for mounting if your interested.
