Goodbye STi... I'll miss you. - Page 2

Finally picked the car up! I couldn't really get on it since I'm breaking in the clutch, but I did a 4th gear pull once and... let's just say that I was very surprised and almost hit the rev limiter

I can't wait to be done with clutch break-in and see what this thing can really do. Agile really did a great job, and the engine bay looks really good. Dyno sheet and the pics are coming soon.

Anxiously awaiting pics

My car is finally done and tuned. I'll be picking it up tomorrow. It put down 425~6awhp@22psi!!

I forgot the torque numbers because I was like "woah" when I heard the hp number...

Peak torque comes just after 4k rpm. Man, I can't wait to drive it. I think it will be a good race against the Supra from roll. The Supra put down about 430rwhp. So I think I have a good against it since I'm a lot ligther(Supra: 3600lbs). From a dig... well, you know the story.

WOW that's some awesome numbers, what gas? Yea, I used to have a 94ttbpu supra and been dying to see how my car would do up against one.

What brand dyno was it dyno'd on? Do you have a baseline before the upgrades?

Rookie84 · 08-25-2007, 05:36 PM

Snapped some quick pics:

Dyno sheet:

Sorry, I don't have a scanner so I just took a pic of it. The dyno was Dynapack and stock STi's put down 240~260 on the particular dyno.

Grr, I am at work right now and all I see are red "X's". Anyway, this is my ideal setup and congrats on getting it all finished. How long before the clutch break-in is over so you can mash on it?

STIVendetta · 08-25-2007, 05:48 PM

Wow! That's one great machine.....giving STi more respect on the road.
I really like the set-up.

Tbagger · 08-26-2007, 05:55 AM

+1 for this setup. Nice numbers and nice spool!

fractur3 · 08-26-2007, 06:04 AM

whats the plus side of reversing the intake mani?

sick car btw

**SCOOBYTRAP** · 08-26-2007, 06:20 AM

This is a really sweet setup. It looks like they had to do alittle massaging for that TB inlet to work out. What is the A/R ratio you went with?

It gives a shorter charge pipe after intercooler. Generally speaking, a shorter pipe=less volume to fill =faster spool. Plus it gives the added bonus of keeping the charged throttle body pipe cool (no routing over hot engine/components)

all good stuff as long as the bends are kept to a mi9nimum and are smooth. This setup looks damn good from pics.

Rookie84 · 08-26-2007, 04:12 PM

Thanks for all the kind words

SCOOBYTRAP, I couldn't have explained it any better. Yeah, they had to massage that pipe a little bit so the hood can close and nothing rubs. I'm using .82 A/R. I forgot to list the A/R in my mod list. Fixing it now.

importfanatic17 · 08-26-2007, 04:18 PM

I plan on doing a similar build, but with a 1.06 A/R.

I went to Mt. Hammy today (a huge meet out here) and was telling all kinds of people about your setup and how it is the shizznit. I was kinda bragging for you, you should give me props.
