bud u talking about running 13.1 at 1/4 on stage 2?? my friend has a 2011 wrx he ran 13.14 stock with cobb and 12.5 with a 60 foot of 1.5 with stage 2 with map torque performance.. and u should have gone with a gc8 if u investing so much money

you should invest in this if you want to make moar powa! http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/partdetails/Brian_Crower/Engine/Stroker_Kits/STI/10361

Fuck the GTwhateverthefuck turbo.

I'm telling you get the turbo that I showed you, it's better than that. Or even go HP freaks.
In my opinion I prefer a dom2 with a top mount. I believe even a dom3 can work and is more efficient with a top mount rather than a front. Don't take my word for it though, I've only personally used and seen dom2s without having to bother with changing the intercooler.

Personally I think you need to learn how to use the car first. I've seen friends hit the 12s region on a stage 2 and tune. Or invest in better tires? But with a stage 2 and even with cobb maps you should be able to get into the 12 regions. But truthfully I've never driven the new sti myself on a strip. Only blob and hawkeyes.



Yeah I missed it but I read the full thread...


Don't run e85, that makes no sense whatsoever. If you're planning to run alcohol injection you should at least get a turbo that is going to make the best use out of it. Like I said, use the top mount, dom2, 850cc injectors, get yourself on some forged internals, and get UNEQUAL length headers. I mean cmon don't fuck around with an sti without power and then take out the sound. I still have unequals on mine. If you want an aggressive sound, get a straight pipe. And even your suspension can use some work. I use these for my sti on the track, http://stance-usa.com/sus/products/coilovers/procomp2 and I have a set of BC racings for the street.




+1 on this. Forged internals!! Like I said.



what? a 2011 stock rex with a stage 2? it's not really stock if it's stage 2 now... is it? o.O
But those are nice numbers.

Don't use E-85? Why the fuck not? 105ish octane and lower cylinder temperature than 93+ meth injection by a long ways. Its almost impossible to make an engine detonate while running E-85.

So wait is he running e-85 plus alcohol? or one or the other? I personally, along with many other friends of mine, prefer just running alcohol injection just because there's only one or two e-85 stations within the whole state. But sure, if he's willing to drive a far ways just to grab some 85 then by all means. Again I don't know where this guy lives.

And if you run out of alcohol, e-85 won't shut down. But again it's not available over here so we would rather grab one of those 10 gallon tanks and toss it in the trunk with our alcohol/water mixture.

It says he has E-85 and 93 oct tunes that are switchable on the fly.

Then by all means.

Nice car

R u in the military?
