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.

[@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

[@Scoobyfreak86]

"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]

@@Scoobyfreak86 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. Crazy stuff I'm currently on the "risky" setup of an intake/downpipe/regulator/pump on a VERY mild Etune while waiting to go injectors/rails/headers and its pretty impressive how much power picked up despite being a dialed back setup

[@j.p.3972]

Would also highly recommend a real crank pulley dampener if you care about motor longevity. I went w/ fluidampr, and it makes a hell of a difference in reducing vibrations, falseknock, roughness etc.

[@Scoobyfreak86]

Yes that is on the list.

[@SiCaRiI_DaGgEr]

Excellent recommendation, Fluidamper is def the way to go.

[@andrewweisse4598]

Thank U all for this recommendation Should I add the real crank pulley dampener to my a “go to stage 3” plan? I am thinking yes but I just do not know?

[@SiCaRiI_DaGgEr]

@@andrewweisse4598 I would add the Fluidampr now actually as it helps reduce wear on the main bearing and crank. This is an improvement over the stock pulley and is the ONLY crank pulley I would recommend on the WRX/STI's. Even if the car is stock this is a great part to add so whether you go stg 2 or 3 it will be even better.

[@AWWWMAN80]

I know you have sold the car already, but I’m looking to get into the STI family. I bought a ‘19 and I’ll be honest I was skeptical when I bought it but driving it (modestly) it’s the coolest car !!!! I’ve heard horror stories about these engines blowing up and having head gasket issues etc etc. I do wanna build it though and have a all around car kinda like yours is just a little more power. Any insight you can give me?

[@Phantaystic]

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?

[@Scoobyfreak86]

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.

[@littlefoot4417]

I understand the OEM+ factor of the build which is great btw but why not a FMIC vs the top mount you currently have? is it because you’re not pushing enough power or you’re not on the car as much? as heat in the engine bay would be decreased if you went front mount but I’m just curious! Thanks!

Are there any issues with passing inspection? I'm in NY and I know back in the day if you had anything that was OB2 or newer (basically 1996 and up), ECUs needed to be plugged into to pass inspection.

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.

Type ra block can hold 500whp bone stock so 400 should be fine. My fa20 is making 860whp and my ej is at 1150whp

[@shawnsquires2716]

how is the turbo spool time compared to stock? I'm wanting to get a turbo that will keep a similar responsiveness while adding to the top end.

[@Scoobyfreak86]

That’s exactly what I wanted and got from the Blouch 1.5. Spoiled about 200-300 rpm’s sooner and held on up top where the stock turbo died off after 5200.

[@MrEklipze]

do you have any idea what causes the P0016 issue with subbies? I got this error right after i changed my clutch.

[@KushestWRX]

BTW, the fa24 pushes impressive numbers with just a basic tune. I loved my old ej's as well but reliability and power have definitely been improved. Right now I'm using a Jb4 and running e30. Haven't dynoed my car yet but others with similar mods are making good power. Of course Cobb is the way to go vs jb4 but at only 2000 miles on my new car I'm not ready to flash the ecu but the jb4 is very satisfying for what it is.....

[@JeffreyFlowers]

So I’m getting killer b headers with v band and up pip, any reason why you went with your particular up pip and dump tube vs the killer b? Also noticed the killer b doesn’t come with dump tube is that a bad thing?

[@Scoobyfreak86]

Since I was going EWG, I wanted the dump and plm was the only option available at the time.

[@SpecVBlue]

Dang, I made the same 400whp on 93 octane, but half the cost.. right around $10k including forged pistons. But that was 2018 when it cost less and before the new EPA issues. I feel like now it would cost me around 15.

@@anthonym2277 Yes that's how much it costs to machine a motor, put it back together with forged parts, and put a bigger turbo on it with all the supportive mods, then tune it correctly on a dyno. 6 years built and reliable.

[@juanticimo]

I feel like 22k Is a lot for 400whp, considering you have a top mount etc.. I cant recall if you said in your video or not, but there are def cheaper routes to get that much power safely, and yes on pump gas. 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. Its a beautiful build, thats for sure.

[@Okaydogo_]

Oh yeah man, Definitely. These motors can be pretty risky when done up and or tuned incorrectly with the right Combinations and the perfect tune, you can push more power especially with E85

[@XxKingColexX]

I have a 2017 STI. I want to take things slow as well. In your experience would I be able to go stage 1+ (accessport/intake) without any reliability mods? Or should I get the accessport / Intake and get the cylinder 4, aos immediately with it?

[@Scoobyfreak86]

I would definitely go ahead and do the aos and cyl 4 mod either way. Even if you are stock as they are two things that will greatly benefit the longevity and health of the motor.

Coming from only FA experience, this is cool to see. Obviously the EJ starts with a pretty big head start, but it doesn't take much to get the FA in that 350 whp range where the STi also sat pre-turbo (as long as you're fine with taking trans risks).

[@Scoobyfreak86]

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.

[@MrMcbear]

People get way too tied up on numbers nowadays nobody actually goes out and DRIVES. Yes my stage 3 stil makes "only" 350hp...But i'm absolutely demolishing everything else in the canyons/mountains and having the time of my life doing it.

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.

I made about 325 whp and 340 tq on 91, with intake, Inlet, tmic, bpv, ebcs, dp, fpr, fuel pump, catback. Along with typical reliability mods. Currently doing a elh (coated holy header), 1050 injectors, rails, lines, and flex fuel kit. I’m aiming for about 350whp 360-380tq . I got my 21 sti new, so cost of car, cosmetics, wheels and reliability mods, tuning I’m about 85k into.

[@SparrowHawkGamin]

You didn't upgrade block? Thought block limit was around 400hp?

[@Scoobyfreak86]

Stock block never opened. Torque is what kills these motors quickly. 350 is the max I’d do for torque.

[@michaelpittard7167]

What is cost for this

[@ahmadmomani8598]

Reliability mods : :D Equal Length Headers D:

[@ricardocastillo1542]

will a blow off valve affect the hp?

[@Scoobyfreak86]

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

[@2stroke_folk817]

U think of can push 400 on a open deck ej?

[@Scoobyfreak86]

Could. Mine was a stock block never opened and was pushing 413 no problem.

[@aaronjaffar8757]

What is ur EWG spring rate??

[@Scoobyfreak86]

It opens up at around 13-14 psi.

[@18zips80]

some people say the cyl 4 cooling mod does more harm than good.

[@juanjuan3206]

How so ?

[@Scoobyfreak86]

You are going to hear a lot of opinions on anything out there. Truth of the matter is, it helps and has been proven to remove the extra heat from the back of the motor.

[@sticksuicide230]

How many miles have you ran this thing for since it's been modded?

[@Scoobyfreak86]

Started mods? I started modifying the car back in 2017. But At this power level was around 5k before I sold it. New owner has put on over 10k since and has had 0 issues.

[@sticksuicide230]

@@Scoobyfreak86 nice! Thanks for the quick reply! I just wanted to know if this thing has gone through like 60k+ to highlight a bit more of the reliability, but this video I think says it all 👏

Do you know how to make a reliable 2011 Impreza WRX on 91 octane and visible body mods

I would go a similar approach with a wrx as well.

@@Scoobyfreak86 thanks for the info and do you lose the unique Subaru sound with the equal length headers

[@Scoobyfreak86]

In the upper rpm range, yes. But down low, it still has a good amount of rumble.

One note FMIC over TMIC due to heat soak

[@user-nf3oq2ge3g]

You can get 350 hp in an sti for a reasonable price with work, but a 350hp Subaru is a blast to drive I don’t care who you are. And probably go faster due to lesswheel spin and relying on driving skill instead

If you want a reliable 400hp motor build an 800hp motor and detune and viola bulletproof 350 to 400hp reliable. But not really. But more reliable than stock pushed to 400
