Damn, that's a quick run for a stage 2 STI on pump gas! Not sure the hot air intake is helping you out though.
thanks, yeah we wanted to go faster, and we made a lot of changes in hopes of getting a stock block, stock turbo, and pump gas record. The car was not holding boost so we went with a aftermarket boost controller and an external waste gate so it would hold 18lbs of boost, but unfourtunately we were never able to go back tot he strip with it due to ringland failure on one piston and the stock turbo gave out a month after the mods and tune.
I know, that is why me and a few of my friends were so excitted about the changes we made to it and the protune that I got, but things happen, I wish the turbo and the rings held together long enough for a few passes on a great cool day but that was not in the cards.

Damn, you must have had a shitty tune to blow the engine on that low of power output...

GREAT time on just a stage 2 STI, nice job! Shame about the motor, unfortunately.

You know you love me! Only difference here is that if we argue you can ban me. :tard:

Do you think it was the tune the grenaded your motor ie was the motor perfectly healthy going in for the tune? I had my entire motor checked after I checked to make sure it was good. A leakdown test of the heads and compression test (checking the newish spark plugs as they came out). AWDTuning even did a borescope to check the insides and the pistons. I wanted to make sure if my motor let loose, it was the tuners fault lol
Nope, the ringlands are weak to begin with, but we had an issue with the external wastegate when we were trying to tune the car ourselves and she overboosted a couple of times, hitting close to 30 lbs. Also around that time I think my son stole the car and went joy ridding in it.....I raced A LOT and used the launch control on the AP A LOT!!!! So many ways the ringland could have been blown, no way to know for sure. There is no one around here that can rebuild a Subaru block, so going with a built short block.
I believe we used to talk a little back on iwsti (I was wolfdaddy there), as it sits right now, my car is waiting on head work and a built short block. I have a grocery list of stuff to put on it. Everything is ported and polished and most is ceramic coated. T1 top feed conversion with 1000cc injectors and a ATP3076r. I hope she is a lot stouter and faster this time around, I just wish that she had held together a while longer so I could have gone faster on the stock block/turbo.
