Nice!! i once own a 2006 STI and loved it..

 

i am thinking very seriously of making the switch soon. the G looks awesome, but i have to agree the $ to hp ratio is a killer. what mods are you planning in the future? sorry, i can't see the dyno (work filter) what are your numbers?

 

That is a nice list of mods. Who did your PnP work? I have some misc. STI items, TBE, airbox, and interior goodies.

Dump more and more $ into the G and not feeling satisfied was what ultimately did it. I came to a point realizing that instead of dropping 20k into a turbo upgrade + supporting mods, I would rather put half that $ into the STI.

I made 316whp and 338wtq with the following mods:

APS 3" TBE
APS 70mm CAI
DW 850cc Injectors
Walbro Fuel Pump


Mods for the future would ultimately be a turbo upgrade (GT35r or Blouch Dominator 3), plus all other supporting mods to help me get to 450whp safely.

 

Honestly not sure, it was a bonus surprise when the motor came from Japan. The list of mods is pretty long but I didn't want to totally jack your thread Not sure that we can use any of the stuff you have but if you ever decide to change the suspension let me know.

 

wow. i did the exact opposite and wouldnt have it no other way.


G35 FTMFW.

STIs are awesome cars, but ugly as ****. sorry

 

Congrats on the new ride; I'm sure you're enjoying it!

 

OMG

I would love to go for a ride with that guy in the second vid. That is mind boggling

 

Oh and congrats Crypten on your new ride

 

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Thanks though.

 

That's pretty impressive gain for the amount of mods you did. Did you consider the Evo at all?

 

Thanks, this type of gain is pretty standard on a protune for my mods. Most people get roughly 300whp to 330whp, but the torque is what kicks a$$. On the stock turbo I can crank up the boost a few psi more with a meth kit, but I see no point. The nice thing about modding these cars is you really can't debate what works and what doesn't, everything has been proven, so you know exactly what to get.

EVO?, pass. Don't get me wrong the EVO is a quick car with proper handling, but the STI just appeals to me more.

 

Nice, I went opposite from a Subaru to the G35 coupe.
Loved my 12second WRX, but it was a bit much at times! I still love my slow G35.
