SE-R / GTi-R

First off let me start by saying this is my first Subaru and can't be happier.

I have been a Nissan guy since the day I could drive and decided it was time for a change.
I got the car on Thanksgiving day in 2011. I was looking at used STi hatches and the wife said, "lets just get you a new one" As soon as the words left her mouth we were headed to the nearest Subaru dealer where I found my Spark Silver sedan with SPT Cat-back already installed. I knew it was mine the minute i sat in the car.

I have never left a car stock so the modding was already in my head before I left the dealer.

Mods installed as of right now:
Cobb AP Stage 2+ (Stage 1 at 900 miles and stage 2 at 3000 miles)
Cobb SF intake with box (900 miles)
Invidia cat-less DP (3000 miles)
SPT CBE (0 miles)
BC Racing coilovers (1500 miles)
15mm spacers (1500 miles)
Stock wheels painted Gloss Black (1000 miles)

I plan on getting Enkei NTo3+M in the next few weeks and slowly getting the parts for a full build.

The day I got her:

BC's going on:



As she sits right now:

So much for keeping it stock lol... Did you get a protune for the STG2 or just an OTS map? I want to do the STG2 but I really don't want to void my warranty. Fuck it, STG2 here I come...

SE-R / GTi-R

I have the Stage 2 OTS map on low wastegate due to the DP being non cat version.

The stage 2+ on this car livens it up big time. Made a huge difference

What effects does the cat vs non-cat have? I'm assuming a lower boost level for the LWG? I've been pricing everything out, already have a Cobb STG1 OTS. I'll be getting a protune if/when I go STG2. I noticed your car was significantly quicker then mine just by watching the tach/speedo. That downpipe really is a garbage design.

If your getting a pro tune when you go stage 2 I would definitely go with catless. I run the LWG map because I don't have the orotund and without the cat it can over boost on the OTS map. When you get your protune I would recommend spending the extra $100 and get the Cobb or Grimspeed 3 port EBC

So, I ordered the parts and set a date to get the car to STG 2 protuned status.

SE-R / GTi-R

nice!! Can't wait to see what you put down with the protune

Jr_SS

Me too, it'll probably be close to the typical stg2 dyno. More than welcome to come hang out, I'll be getting it dyno'd in TPA on June 23rd.

Where you getting the tune done at?

Doug from Topspeed is doing the tuning and S and R is the location.
