How To Make 400 Horsepower RELIABLY On Your STI - Cost Included!

Exactly what my brother told me when I first started modding my car ever since then I never complain when he says I need certain parts to have it run better 🤌🏼😂

[@franciscocruz6726]

I agree with your way of thinking. I purchased an Evo 9 10 years ago when i was 24 yrs old with the intent to make 500-600whp. Now that im 34, i enjoy driving it with the 430whp it has. I'll be tuning in a few weeks to bump it up to 465whp, but that's where I am stopping, especially because im still on stock block. I look forward to reliability more nowadays and just enjoying it as it is.

[@JAP917]

That is one very clean engine bay. Your parts selection is superb and almost exactly what I would do outside of California. I had my 2015 STI Launch on a a "maxed out stock turbo" build with the KillerB headers, ported VF48 and Grimmspeed DP and it was great street fun until recently.

[@sunnydee7745]

Its hard not watching these video's. Got a 21 sti but really would like to pay it off before anything lol

[@Mvonada]

always interesting to see/hear that you're tuned at 18 psi. it was always a given that "stage2" or more was always 20-21psi but clearly your tuner is making power without the added boost. Solid setup though probably the best overall

[@Autofreakgarage]

"Stage 2" is mostly the boost levels that bump the power. Easy to throw boost at a car and make it quicker, but doing it correctly with the right parts, you'll find that you won't need to add so much boost to obtain the power you are after. Quality parts go a long way.

[@Mvonada]

@@Autofreakgarage Found that out first hand on my last WRX[FA20 car] on E60 it was pushing 1lb more target from pump gas and went from 300ish WHP to 385 with purely timing adjustments.

I had a FBO 2017 sti on E85, it put down 380whp on a dynojet, it had ELH, External WG, FMIC, IAG oil separator, all premium parts etc, the car felt fine but i was coming from a 475whp 02 Wrx with a built hybrid engine on a fp green turbo e85 and a much lighter car with a 07sti transmission swap, my goal was to build the sti to 600whp one day till i drove my friend's R35 Gtr, and it was a wrap, sold the STI and got me an R35, and to be honest it was the best decision , 630whp on E85 without any worries , I've daily the car for about 5 years and abuse it all the time, i got the R35 for 65k back in 2018 and i put about 10k in fbo parts to hit 630whp, who knows how many engine builds i would've gone through if i kept the STI, i had the wrx for 11 years and even though i loved that car i did blow the engine 3 times, and the 5spd transmission twice, till i went with the 07 sti swap, Subarus are fun to drive but they're not reliable if you drive them hard.

Could you go over the headers. I been looking into killer b elh. But there's so many options. What's the difference between 2 or 3 bolts? Can you run the header with the stock up pipe? Or recommended to get the whole set up? When is it recommended to go external wastegate?

[@Autofreakgarage]

You'll want to go with 2 bolt if you are running a stock like setup. 3 bolt is usually pertaining to more custom setups. Yes, you can run them with stock up pipe. I ran them this way for a while before I went to EWG and changed the turbo. I would recommend doing EWG either way. It's safer overall as it allows your tuner to fine tune your map and eliminates the potential of boost creep (most associated with catless setups). For the average joe's like us that just want a good quality header on a stock like setup, the 2 bolt basic killer b head is what you want to go with.

Fa is a great platform that doesn’t take much to get power. It’s just a new FI motor where the ej is a dinosaur in comparison. Although, I will say the same power level in an fa and ej do feel quiet different overall.

For 22k, you could have a 500x block from Bader, and a Green, plus cooling and fuel for less. While I think your build is gorgeous and an example of how to do things in a very tasteful way, to me it seems that you chose expensive parts on purpose, for just the sake of spending the cash, and thats fine.

[@Autofreakgarage]

[@AnthonyFeliciano4]

@@Autofreakgarage what size injector ?

[@Autofreakgarage]

Same as I mentioned in the video, 1050.

[@aaronjaffar8757]

What is ur EWG spring rate??

[@Autofreakgarage]

It opens up at around 13-14 psi.

[@ricardocastillo1542]

will a blow off valve affect the hp?

[@Autofreakgarage]

I don’t run a bov. I run a bpv, although if you have a faulty one that leaks, it will effect the overall power.

[@newguynasti2008]

I love how you did your car the first time. I'm going for the same thing with mine. Don't get me wrong I love Devin and Baders channels but they push them stock motors way to far. Everytime they turn around they are blowing them up. Sets a bad example for people who don't have their knowledge on tearing down engines and rebuilding them. Also it's a complete waste of money whether you can afford to like them or not. That Remmy kid on their channel is even worse. He just a spoiled rich kid.

[@boosted_life]

Feel the same way

[@littlefoot4417]

The point of their channels IS to blow them up, testing the limits to the max, this channel is different

[@newguynasti2008]

@@littlefoot4417 yeah I like this channel and Smeedia way better even though Devin has more subs.

[@clementeb7967]

Devins and Baders channel is literally meant to push the motors limits and also they beat the shit out of them because they know they can rebuild it themselves and also serves as content.Devin has cleared this up many tines how he enjoys beating on them because knows he can just fix it have you seen his videos he has rebuilt a full motor in 2 days that man is a god with subarus

[@TheNuclearDestress]

You have to remember that devin enjoys what he does just like everyone else with what they do. I wouldn’t really try to compare when two channels do two different things. Devin also just likes to push the boundaries, he’s got the money to do it

30-40k on the motor including car or just MOTOR?

[@Autofreakgarage]

Just motor

[@Urnnn420]

IAG fully built long block runs for 13k. It's rated for 950 BHP. Not bad at all if you ask me

[@frograna2]

Damn after watching multiple videos i regret not upgrading my fuel lines and rails

[@Hon_cb1kr]

Rock solid 👌. I'd be happy with 350whp.

[@jdsayler96]

Did I see you were selling the truck on IG?

[@Autofreakgarage]

It is indeed up for grabs. I have something in the works.

[@michaelpittard7167]

What is cost for this

[@danbufford8848]

And this is why bmws and the American v8s are more relevant now. Coyotes making 900+whp with just boost and fuel mods on e85. Bmws 335's making 500whp with boltons and a tune. Well said. Great looking sti man.

[@OneslowS4]

Don't ever forget them Audis

[@DragonKnightX12]

​@@OneslowS4Golf R makes 400whp fairly easy. Subaru's new FA24 is fairly decent. Ford's Ecoboost are pretty slept on too. I've seen Explorer STs with 700+ whp.

[@Juanparrastudio]

I would be scared to go over 380hp!! 😅 What WHP did you make on 413HP??

[@Autofreakgarage]

413 wheel

[@Juanparrastudio]

@@Autofreakgarage 😮 😯 Thats crazy! I would be really scared man! Oh well… Im honestly aiming for 350wheel. Not more than that. Ill be happy there. I know you dont have your car anymore! I hope you made profit! 😂😅😅😅😅😅😅 a lot of money invested there! Thank you for replying man!

[@bigrobsydney]

I've had 4 imprezas, but I think I'm done with ICE cars now. My experience included having them maintained by specialists while in the UK and in Australia. I had Zen Performance look after my 22B while in the UK, and then Pulse in Sydney. The reason I chose these companies was because of their experience in Time Attack. That said, the costs to properly maintain a car are not cheap. I'm much more inclined these days to run a Tesla model 3 performance, and cant wait for the upcoming highland version, which I understand will be "Ludicrous", with possible 670-680 bhp, and no transmission issues. It will be reliable, and the model has had some great upgrades into highland spec. Really cant wait to upgrade. As for this, I think time has passed these cars by.

[@Bigdaddyweldz]

E85 eliminates, cooling problems and lowers risk of knock.
