500hp STI Build: Build specs / EVO Motor comes!

[@binkybop9252]

I honestly love how you talk about making 500hp like it’s a walk in the park. It makes me more confident to build my 21 Sti

[@pw85___]

Thank you for listing this all out, especially the I-wire harnesses. I'm on the verge of flex/FBO myself. Only a few items left to make it all complete.

[@bash5552]

Droppin that critical knowledge!! That tipping point of max MAF to SD build and what it takes and what the sticking points are. Thanks Bader!!

[@paulmarsdensr8199]

A great video as always. Gloves ,eye 👀 protection. Stay safe brother. Bader built all the way up.

[@BaderBuiltRacing]

Thank youuuu

[@HoeLeeFuQQ]

One man show from his home garage lol I love it

[@DJ_Driven]

Looking like another high-quality build appreciate all those details. Requesting if you could please show how to properly do an complete air pump delete? Meaning cutting out and relocating that secondary air injection barometric sensor. Video would probably get a lot of views, as I have not been able to find a good video detailing the proper way to do this. Will be cool to see that white evo back up and running soon and good choice on those factory wheels... makes me want to pick up a set.

[@BaderBuiltRacing]

I always leave sensor attached to housing still and leave it bolted to the engine. The amount of time to cut that sensor out is not worth it lol

[@HanksDeuce]

Love the tips you provide during tear downs and builds. Please wear eye protection when cutting/grinding. And I wouldn't recommend using a cutting disc for grinding (use a flapper wheel). Cutting discs can fly apart if used for grinding because it's happened to me. Stay safe and keep the builds coming!

[@philiplytle]

THIS COMMENT!!! I am sure we have all seen the aftermath of cutting wheels coming apart. it is knarly.... DUDE, take care of your hands/eyes when you do this stuff.

[@kingragnar423]

Should look at the BCP x500+ turbo for builds. Stock location, stock inlet. Good for 550whp and spools within 500rpm of stock.

[@ajw828]

Going harrrrrd all day long - nice work man.

[@BaderBuiltRacing]

Appreciate it!

[@BraveheartSTIS209]

7:35 After deleting that expansion tank, how will the turbo get the gravity fed coolant it needs to cool down after the vehicle is turned off? Or is the new turbo oil cooled only?

[@soopermarkus]

I keep eyeballing that secondary air injection valve on the driver side with utter contempt. I'm so glad we no longer emissions test in WA and we can throw all that stuff in the dumpster, except for the barometric pressure sensor of course :D

[@scottibass]

I see the work that iwire does on Bucky lasek's channel, it's pretty impressive

[@subarustifan4694]

In your opinion what's the best ecu for this? Im putting a motec and another ecu so i can keep cruise control. The other ecu the tuner will decide on soon.

Hi question I have a stock 04 wrx engine in my ghia swap and all of a sudden I got a knock yesterday from a cold start. I checked the tensioner etc and all seems in good condition, I would like to make around the 500hp your doing here but I’m knocking can you give feedback please. GREAT VID

[@PQR5CHE]

Nice, I was always told that you needed the 84mm inlet for the FP turbo. Good to know the stock size works fine. What’s your thought on keeping the stock fuel lines and rails when only running pump gas and a FP blue? 1050 injectors & AEM pump. Thanks man.

[@BaderBuiltRacing]

You will get fuel studder with factory lines / rails on intake manifold. You will regret not doing fuel rains and line kit with a aeromotive regulator.

[@PQR5CHE]

@@BaderBuiltRacing good to know. Thanks man.

[@jefflong1460]

On my 1050s, E85, i made right at 400whp on a mustang dyno. Should be able to get close to 500 on a dynojet

[@BaderBuiltRacing]

Yep! Usually 400-420whp mustang is where they begin to be limited. 480-500whp Dynojet

[@PolishAlexx]

I ordered my FP green on August 11 but I'm still waiting. Hope to get it done before the seasons done.

Where did u place the jacks? Been trying to find one of your videos jacking up the car. Can’t fit the jack under the front end to lift from the brace.

[@sssnake2332]

Mmm yes, this car is what I want to turn my 2011 STI into. I also have that same stage 2 motor (almost done with 3k break-in), same clutch, same Koyo radiator, stock turbo, TMIC (upgraded, but still), and am looking at that same FMIC, FP Green or Black, EWG, etc. Too bad the closest E85 or 93 octane fuel is 3 hours away over by Bader (Spokane / Coeur d'Alene), so I'm not going to bother with flex-fuel yet.

[@BaderBuiltRacing]

Hopefully i will see your build soon :)

[@sssnake2332]

@@BaderBuiltRacing Thanks for showing us a wide range of WRX & STI's (and Evo's) that we can relate to and gain knowledge about.

[@1ledp621]

Seems like this is the most common setup people go with for a 500whp build .. do you think it’s the best bang for the buck ? How much do all these parts cost on avg?

[@BaderBuiltRacing]

On average a quality 500whp build begins around 13-15k depending on options of parts and then with a built engine the total ends up being around 25k

[@1ledp621]

@@BaderBuiltRacing 13-15k with labor right ? Because all those parts run a total of like 7,500

[@E85_STI]

My goal is 500 I’ve got a stage 3 build with block and clutch done. My question is would a big ass hard wired fuel pump be ok for an FP black or running a radium dual hanger? I have the money for either but I rather not spend the extra if I could save some money. I do have a fuel pressure sensor as a fail safe. I don’t drive my car everyday or get into boost every single time I drive due to the scare I had before when I blew my pistons. Thanks for any info I wish I could take my car to you for my remaining part of the build but I’m too far away.

[@BaderBuiltRacing]

I wish i could be apart of your build as well sir. Yes you can put in a radium unit / walbro 450 dual hanger. You could just run one pump if you wanted tbh. Obviously the car would need tune adjusted though.

[@E85_STI]

@@BaderBuiltRacing thank you for your response Bader so I might just do the big hard wired pump and I see you installed an FP green and it’s still capable of 500 WHP along with 1050X injectors. Is the green and 1050x capable of going past 500 or is it hitting the limit? I almost ordered the black and 1700 ID injectors but I would like your opinion before I buy anything.

[@ramo_9222]

where is the stock motor 500 hp video ?

[@antval1234]

Where did you purchase the motor from looks like it came with the transmission and transfer case

[@waleed.m.mahjoub]

hi,according to your experience which car motor is better for turbo upgrade,the STE or EVO?

[@nicholasfabulous]

The block doesn’t have the oil jets as compared to an evo

[@OnlyDominican]

Yes they do

[@OnlyDominican]

This block is pretty much identical to an Evo 7 motor down to the same part number for the pistons. The head and accessories attached are where we've found differences over the years

[@nicholasfabulous]

I’ve seen ones down to the bare block and it does not, but it’s good if your going forged imo

[@BaderBuiltRacing]

The car is stock and ive seen they have oil squirters as well. Its an exact same engine as a evo 7

[@ericmuse8019]

Hey man, does the FIC 2150’s need a pnp harness or connector change on 05 sti. Edit. I see what has happened lol. I got 07+ injectors since i am top feed now. After I ordered I see they have top feed for 04-06. So I’m taking that the 07+ has a different connector. Well looks like I’m getting the adapters.

Hi what year does this build work for thinking of a 2018 build

[@ararson4710]

I've been following you for a while I work for subaru i was wondering on a 04 and 07 sti stock long block. What is the best route for 400hp on a stock long block?

[@MrMystang92]

Wheel or crank? Two different numbers. Most builders don’t recommend anything past 360whp on stock block. Pistons and rod bearings will fail.

[@ararson4710]

@@MrMystang92 to the crank ok thank you what about 340hp?

[@MrMystang92]

@@ararson4710 id find a tubing shop next to you and ask what you can do with your goal with supporting reliability mods. Aos, radiator, fuel pump and injectors, better inter cooler, oil pick up form killer b, cylinder 4 mod. E85 or pump gas. They will direct you. I’d recommend emailing Bader and Steve on something like that. Most likely they would recommend to save up some money for a built short block which can gain you a lot more relatable hp since you’ll most likely get the hp bug. Also you might need a more supporting mods in the suspension system, maybe a clutch and axles, wheels and tires when you hit past a certain power goal.

[@BaderBuiltRacing]

OEM inlet does require a intake manifold removal. Aftermarket ones can be installed without removing intake manifold.
