goodbye hondas

[AFAsucks]

yep ive finally sold my honda and this week ill be the new owner of an STi. good thing too cuz ive been fiddling with turbo hondas for too long. its time for something new. im still down in Texas right now but ill be back up in Colorado in about two months, so i was wondering what the good shops for Subaru are. awd dynos and stuff just so i know ahead of time. thanks guys

Congrats on the STI. What are your plans for it?

STi > Honda

You wont regret it

well dont get me wrong i love the hondas ive been through. when done right they are the tits. but ive always wanted to drive something awd. i really dont plan to do too much. i already have a boost controller, header, up pipe, down pipe, and drilled and slotted front and rear brakes with red stuff pads. so as soon as i get it thats what will be done. ill probably do just everything that can be done keeping the stock turbo. porting the stock turbo's wastegate because i hear there is a creep issue eventually with it. what are the good tuning systems for them? i learned with hondas that you get whjat you pay for in tuning but still what are some not too costly tunning systems?

Cobb Accessport is pretty good for the money. You can get maps made and load and change them out for different gas. If you just want a single map, you can also go with an Ecutek reflash. WRXHarvey works at Super Rupair and does Ecutek tuning.

congrats! what year did you get? the new 06's?

[AFAsucks]

no no ....i actually cant stand the way the 06's look. its an 04 blue with gold rims.

[AFAsucks]

well scratch the blue sti...i ended up with a silver w/gold rims...it was a tough decision. i absolutely LOVE it already! but now ive got a question....what is stock boost for them and how the hell does MPa translate to psi?

[Conrad]

sell out!

J/K congrats.... I agree 06 = yuck

im pretty sure stock boost is 14.6, someone correct me if im wrong.

[AFAsucks]

hey so what are STi's supposed to run stock....at sea level...and what do they usually run completely stock up and bandi? i took it to the track last night and went 13.89 @96mph....man im not used to such low trap speeds...i really need to get working on this thing. i wasnt sure whether i should be happy or not with that time. i made three passes and that was my best one. the track was sticky as hell so i wasnt used to bogging so badly, but i got the hang of it. wish i had more runs to i,prove but it was a big show night and there were hundreds of cars there so the lines were crazy long.

Those times are right on target.

[WRX Harvey]

Yup I only charge $650 for a reflash with dyno tuning included.

I think a Megapascal is ten times an atmosphere so .1Mpa is 14.7 psi, .15 is 22.05 psi.

101325 Pa = .101325 MPa = 1atm = 14.7 psi
