Meh... I'm interested in doing a lot of circuit track work with the stock motor... 350whp in an STi can easily exceed the capability of most drivers, so I'd like to get nice and bored with it before going over 500whp

 

repped for one of the bests posts ever

if you plan to go on an actual road course, the car runs through meth like crazy (because you are at full throttle/boost nearly the entire time). You would need an external reservoir with at least a 2 gallon capacity to be on the safe side. That's the reason I would personally go with the EWG over meth. Also because of the constant high temps and on and off throttle, the boost will want to spike more. I wish I had spent the money on an EWG when I had the car...

probably the only things left I wanted to do (power-wise) were a FMIC because you can definitely feel the heat-induced power loss after a few laps, EWG to be able to run a slightly more aggressive map, and maybe water-only injection just for cooling.

 

well then make your post circuit track sti not street sti two toally different things and 350whp isnt shit dude plenty of people track higher hp cars then that and theyre at stock power and do just fine

 

yeah and almost all of those people buy HP instead of skill. When you are out there it is very easy to tell who is compensating. It is much more satisfying to be quicker in a slower car than to just constantly blow by people because you have a million horsepower.

 

so if you have a lot of hp you dont have skill.... hmmm yea that sounds right

 

^ I agree with both of you -- I don't think LD is saying that power and skill can't go together...

for a light-to-light, low-end and mid range monster, a highly boosted VF series is awesome. My spool was ridiculously low, and I know that with a certain few mods I could have improved it even more.

And the car's purpose will be street, but I also want to learn to drive the shit out of it... hence the trackwork comment. If I was posting on building the perfect track car, I would have mentioned suspension, motor, turbo, brakes, weight, etc.

anyway, why not EWG and meth?

 

i had ewg and meth and loved it

 

sounds like a good d/d...we have had some really good results on those.

 

well Frank when you get an 04/05 Sti and you swap a VF43 or 48 on it I'll take real good care of you stock turbo

 

hahah agreed
