ICS '08 STI Project Stage "X" Build Up

**Dyno Flash** · 02-09-2008, 07:33 AM

Wanted to fill you all about what we have been doing in the first week since we recieved our '08 STI
First we did the Stage "0" reflash only with the Cobb AP2 and had some decent results on power, typical of what we would have expected on a '07 STI. Thanks to Cobb for making a world class product and for getting it in our hands so quickly.
Feeling like we were silly shrimps for racing about in a 300 whp car we decided to cut to the chase and put together a set up with some testicals.
Here is what we did this week with the car still at approx 130 miles
Axis Racing Stage II Short Block
APS TGV Deletes
APS tmic
APS SR 56 stock location turbo
APS 3.4" down pipe
Agency Power wrapped and coated headers
Perrin uppipe
Clutch Master Stage IV Clutch
OZ Super Leggera Wheels (very light)
Custom down pipe back dual stainless exhuast
Custom cold air intake tube
Aquamist HFS 1 alcohol injection
E Boost 2 EBC
Walbro fuel pump
Our dyno is booked up all day today and tomorrow with customer appointments so later tomorrow evening or Monday we will get the car onto the dyno and see what kind of power this set up is capable of
One limitation I am looking at now is the lack of exhuast cams on the market at this time as cams are a modification I want to make asap.
Here is a video we took of the scene while we were firing up the new engine for the first time

Here is a video of when Master Tech Freddy was putting the new motor in the car
YouTube - ICS Project '08 STI - build up part 1
I will have some pictures and videos of the completed car later tonight
I wanted to say thanks to George at ICS for his dedication and passion for investing the time and resources to make the '08 STI a serious machine

Print the picture and take it to any exhaust shop.... they could build that probably cheaper then you could buy it pre-made.
