I beat the heartbreaker! *Updated 11/12/2008 - Page 4

The torque numbers look similar (between your STage II and 20G setup)...does it feel much faster with the 20G? How has the 20G been in comparison to your previous Stage II setup? Your mods look nearly identical to my intended path. So far I've accumulated the APV2, Perrin Catted DP, MadDad Whisper, Walbro. Will get the 20G and APS (or Perrin) TMIC later down the road...but I'm hoping for a big difference up top from Stage II while maintaining stock like spool.

Nice car man. Are you running stock intake? Even stock turbo-inlet pipe?

It hit's full spool at about 4000 RPM and pulls all the way to redline. Under 4k it feels identical to how it did, but at 4k it just comes alive. The lack of power drop off at higher RPMS is awesome but Im still stupid and shift early at 6.5k because thats where the power ended since i've had the car LOL.

It feels a whole lot faster I'm just not very happy with my dyno numbers, because I know it has more power then that. I see stage 2 STI's making like 275 on this dyno. But thats why they call it the heartbreaker. Also it was goddamn hot that day to... As to when I made my Stage 2 pulls it was like 55 degrees out hehe

Yep. Intake tends to be the first thing cops notice if they pop your hood so I decided to leave it be.

CA must be so different than NH. You cant pop a hood without a warrant

KruxSTi · 09-07-2008, 06:16 PM

From what I've heard all they need is to suspect something.

KruxSTi · 11-12-2008, 12:43 PM

Well just a small update. No pics since I can't get a good look at the header from underneath with a camera... But I finally did it. I had a goal in my mind from when I started modding this car to beat 300/300 on the GST Dyno.

Nice and congrats!

Well it's been one month since I really achieved my goal of 300 WHP on the GST dyno and already I want MO MO MO POWA!

Even though I live in the peoples republic of Kalifornia in my little area police popping my hood is really not a huge worry so my stealth upgrade plan has kind of gone out the window.

I'm planning on adding Meth and either a Dom 3.0R or a 4.0 and going front mount so depending on how my funds are there may be a perfectly good 20G + APS top mount for sale pretty soon.

East Bay STi · 12-14-2008, 05:28 PM

Ha ha, do what I do then. Drive a 04 Accord 4 Cyl, 03 Mazda Protege 5 or a 00 Toyota Tacoma Pre-Runner 4 Cyl as well. Then hop into your car and be like whoa! This ish is faasstt!!

It is great fun to do that a lot, I live at home with ma and pa so driving my car is only on days when they can handle the g-forces of 300whp or so
