fuel and turbo upgrade 2011

[Guest]

im pretty comfirmed on upgrading the fuel system and turbo on my version 8 sti next year .

Purpose: trying to make this spec c unique from the rest . with what its already got and the following i think it will make my one a lot different compared to a factory one , and also out perform a standard or re-mapped factory ecu STI

Sard 800cc injectors

Sard fuel pressure regulator

Sard spark plugs

HKS turbo (gt2835 twin scroll) *used

Ecutek re-tune (torque performance)

looking at buying all the Sard goods first aimming to have them sometime next month (poor student ) just waitting on my tax return.then will take me a wee while for the turbo ,labour for fitting , and re-tune .

was wondering apart from the above what else i might want to do while im at it want to do it once and do it right.

Not unique and a waste of your money :

If you're set on ECUTEK why not take to WRC Developments in Napier. Heard some pretty good things about them.

Thow my Roo bars on the front of it - thats unique.

[boon]

Add some 20" chromies. That'll make it unique.

...or are you just trying to justify adding more power that you still don't need....

[Guest]

Am I missing something? Why all the hate?

[Jammasta]

Hate is all Good, keeps people realistic.

Doing something that has been done before does not a unique make.

[Guest]

Its not unique a guy with a spec c ra had something similar years ago on CS.

i'd steer clear of the japanese TS turbos - overpriced and under perform.

The sard spark plugs not worth it.

[WRXER]

Not unique my friend, all been done before. Listen to Qwertys advice, personally I wouldn't go with the unique road...That always costs alot more then planned, just go down the path others have done as you know it works and it shouldn't cost too much extra getting the niggles/bugs out of the system.

Try something like this, twin turbo supercharged sti

[Guest S T E Y E]

now i bet that thing sure would make some torque yeah???

[Guest]

Can you even close the bonnet on that thing?

[Guest S T E Y E]

He's been told this many times, particularly given they did the original tune, and are one of the best tuners in the world.... but Kev likes to make life difficult for himself.

they did the first time there was s thread like this. 15 threads on, i think people get to have fun

[WRXER]

15...Think that was just for the first week, had tons more random pointless threads that never lead anywhere and he never listens to what is recommended anyhow. All he wants to be able to do is have a subaru that will make every car hoe get naked for. Hence every thread just turns into a awesome flame thread and good entertainment for everyone else.

[Guest]

hahaha, yea i think your right

-smurff

[WRXER]

Haha no think about it.... I just figured out that a cage gets u top hoe scores lol

[Guest]

cage is most definitly top hoe scores, even more if you have handcuffs hanging from it! lol

-smurff

[WRXER]

Hmm good idea

I could actually see you do that Nick... ;D

[DacerX]

im surprised that he isnt doing what im doing

"gt2835 twwin scroll turbo"

its not twin scroll turbo - its twin entry and will bolt up.

On the car i mentioned it made about 240kw on pump fuel @ 22psi. Spooled well.

Given a vf36 would probably do 230kw+ it seems a poor bang for dollar.

State a real budget and power goal.

In the real world on the road the vf36 would probably be quicker.
