Looks awesome man!

ConnorLug · 02-04-2013, 02:59 PM

thanks everyone!!

and matt- no I didnt, i just did some light modification to get them to fit nice. not worth it for me to get new fender liners are all torn up and will get worse in the spring ;)

Gotcha. Is the modification pretty obvious when you get to it or is it worth explaining?

Texted ya!

Just to let you guys know, I don't know how much farther I'll go power wise...I love having a lot of power but I reeeeeaaaally do not want to build the motor on this thing anytime soon...I will probably just do equal length headers , injectors and pump and then call it a day.

I truly don't know how long I'll be keeping the car, I've been doing some soul searching recently and I just can't see myself putting a built motor/six speed in this thing...If I did I'd have a beater car first.

I really like the new V6 camry and the v6 Tacoma, i'd love to get one but I can't make myself get rid of my foz. I love it too much. sorry ignore my rambling about my life...lol!

What're your current power mods anyway?

nate_fisher · 02-05-2013, 05:30 AM

Do you have e85 were you are? It really brings the vf turbo to life and is much safer on the motor so if you do the pump and injectors that is always an option and as long as you have a good tune and a weaker clutch your motor and tranny should be fine for years to come.

Wessneroo · 02-05-2013, 05:52 AM

Connor like I've said before don't forget you have a sleeper! It's a unique car for sure. I understand the allure of something new though, especially since that's what you're working on all day. If you do decide to move on and sell just remember our deal.

Equal length headers are pointless for your mods...

I think that's it...I have a 255 and a turbo inlet I need to install still.

Yeah I do, it's not super close but it's close enough. i've been seriously considering it for a while now, i just can't make up my mind if i should take the next step you know?

Hahah I know man! I think about it all the time and talk about it even more but I really don't know if I could let the foz go...

I have to disagree with you there, my friend who lives down the street threw some in his 07 wrx with some very similar mods and he got a nice bump in power and response. It's a pretty expensive mod though

What kind of turbo inlet? Also, is it just the SF intake or intake+box?

I'm asking b/c there are definitely some other mods you can do to maximize the setup you have now before making the call to do a motor build or even another turbo swap. Definitely still quite a few pieces you can do actually that'll increase power, efficiency, and response of what you more or less currently have now.

If you want, I can go into more detail but I will say this, there are only a few more parts you could swap around and then it'll all be in the details. (^_-)

What numbers are you making/throwing down now?

ConnorLug · 02-08-2013, 12:42 PM

Limited bumper back on for some snow fun tonight!!

Gimmick motorsports inlet, and its just the sf intake.
I don't really wanna do a motor build to be honest. I can't afford it. I think if I do more power mods itll be ELH, injectors, and the pump that I already have. that's about it. but please go on!

I'll be back when I have a little more time to go into detail, just know there are tons of "little" you can do to help yourself out.

What power are you making now?

He's on a road tune so I don't think he has dyno numbers unfortunately.

Well, I just beat my close friend 2013 STi making 297whp..he was just dynoed last week. Won by a car length...I would say I'm around 300

And in other news...we got around 28 inches of snow, my car was buried!! We got hit the hardest in my town on Long Island. Just shoveled the whole driveway. I ended up having to stop playing in the snow earlier than planned last night because i was literally plowing snow.
