This 2015 STI surprised us! Reaction Video!

[@CUCVANDYFuL]

You should make a video dedicated to your experience with EJ reliability and a more in depth explanation on how to take care of your car, I feel many people just don't know and find out the hard way that these cars aren't indestructible.

[@76cruiserAustralia]

That would be a great video awesome suggestion bro

He has . Go throw the older videos , he explains head gaskets and so on . What power level you can run with no issues when you cross a certain amount it becomes maintenance

There are videos on that. But just so you know the 2021 ej engines have the most durability due to improved castings

The TMIC always get so much hate. Yet the Nurburgring 24 hour cars run them, the Isle of Man record breaker car ran one and the WRC cars that won championship ran them. My first upgrade on my GC8 and GF8 were to upgrade TMIC to Version 8 STi with Samco or Perrin Y Pipe. I always found spool much quicker and stronger than FMIC cars.

Great work Josh! I have an FP Green HTZ as well with a built block, ported heads and GSC S1 cams and +1mm valves, beehive springs, etc. Running 9.0:1 compression CP pistons. Hit 460hp/454trq at the wheeld on a Mustang dyno with E60 @ 27psi boost. I was running ID 1300x injectors w/walbro 450. Do you think those #'s are on par? I thought I would of hit around 500whp with my setup. Also running a 3in core FMIC. Wish you weren't so far from NY bro. Love the channel though.

[@BaderBuiltRacing]

Thank you for the support sir! We used to always use a mustang dyno to tune on til that shop shut down. Little behind the scenes information, I’m in process of trying to buy that dyno right now. Mustang dynos are known to rear lower than most but it really depends on if the dyno calibration has been changed. This setup on the mustang dyno we used would make 360-370whp on pump 92 and 400-420whp on e85 to give you a better idea.

This is correct depending on how the dyno is calibrated it can read low. Our previous mustang dyno we used this setup would made 360-370whp on pump 92 / 400-420whp on e85. To give you an example. This was a true oem mustang dyno calibration, no modifications. We proved time after time with trap speeds at the track that this dyno read really low. That’s why you always hear me say dyno numbers are just numbers. We all want them but all that matters at the end of the day is the customer being happy , and letting track trap speeds back up the car.

Thank you for watching and your support sir! Yes we do it on same completely flat stretch of road to keep things as accurate as we can. Usually virtual dyno is within 3-5% of dynojet numbers. We keep things as conservative as we can with it and have backed up the numbers we claim with trap speeds at the track with the higher power cars.
