I was thinking they’re all cubed at this point. I haven’t seen a Lancer or a Chrysler in many months, even though I am in SoCal where people are car crazy. I think the Evo/SRT party is over.

Thats really surprising. The srt4 is becoming more of a rarity, and even rarer to find one with solid body work,, but I still see evo 8s and 9s frequently. Not so much the X, I think people are hoarding them because they think every one will be a unique collectors edition price in a few years.

Maybe a regional thing? Awd makes nice in areas where snow and ice are common in the winter maybe they just migrated this way

The Evo never sold in great numbers compared to contemporaries. Evo X numbers were just as low as previous generations, just the production run was much longer.

And it makes sense. The STI has always made a passable DD, but the Evo just sacrificed too much. When you live in that territory, there are more suitable options for a dedicated "fun car."

First off i ask all the "Dam questions " because i like to learn and hear different opinions and approaches! Why do you get so angry? Second i dont like Evo's as ive already stated! Third a lot of the questions i ask are because i want to know the safest route to mod and best route because i know it will void the warranty. And lastly i only talk about straight line track times as a reference for acceleration performance. I will never drag race the car. So it has nothing to do with drag racing whatsoever. Maybe since i cant get any clarity on the best way to make bigger power out of a new STI reliably i might just day screw it and go buy a $39,995 727 horsepower Mustang GT out of Ohio. Screw it. .. Actually ill go with the 670hp option and get the 3 year warranty. Id rather a fast AWD Subaru but getting advise is like pulling teeth with this crowd!!!!!
There are so many wankers on these forums that ridicule people for wanting to up the power on there subaru, I'm in the process of getting a iag900 long block with stage 5 heads, I'm doing it once and doing it properly, I learnt to not ask anything on these forums because of the why this and why that , why so much power , why sti and not wrx ... so many dickheadsthat just don't get it , I wanted a new wrx sti and with big power and I learnt nothing because a lot of people on here are nuffys

Why do so many people say "why don't you buy a evo " um if he wanted one he would have one , he wants to know some information about a wrx why can't people just give people what they ask for
Pick whether you want to be Ridetillidie or Cole F. and let me know. I'll close the other account.

I'm nearly confident he has another one too. I've seen roughly this same post before. I won't ban him because I want to see how his $75k dollar shitbox feels when he is still getting his doors sucked off by civics with a turbo and how he feels spending that 10k again in 5000 miles when that iag block is toast.

Im thinking about buying a new 2017 STI. Id really like it to make more power but would not want to have to worry about something going wrong since the warranty will obviously be compromised. So if i wanted 400 wheel horsepower or more whats the best safest route and how much would it cost? I know all the basic parts evolved when tuning these cars for more power. But i want reliable power. So aside from all the bolt ons like down pipe, upgraded fuel pump, exhaust, injectors, blah blah blah ect ect... For reliable would it be necessary for forged pistons and a closed deck block? Or would the pistons be good enough? And what would the typical cost be for 400hp? I know for 300hp to the wheels stage 2 its about $2900..

We’ll I did 409 whp on e60 with
Cobb AOS 520$
Invidia catback R400 1100$
Invidia catless downpipe (discontinued) 180$
Cobb flex fuel 300$
Aem 340 fuel pump 150$
Nostrum high pressure pump 900$
IBR egr delete 40$
Turbo xs tgv delete 50$
Stx 71 turbo swap 700$
K and N typhoon CAI 200$
Perrin turbo inlet hose 100$
Grimm speed bcm 200$
Mishimoto radiator 200$
Mishimoto tmic 1000$
900$ dual tune from TPG
Yes it’s not cheap. Yes it is safe too make the 400whp also but only on corn. I wouldn’t do it any other way
A lot of my parts were 2nd hand I bought off a part out. The guy said he’d rather have a old vette. He made 411hp with this same turbo and beat 500hp mustangs. Bare in mind, I’m not even in a sti.
I’m in a wrx premium. I don’t remember exact numbers on parts but it was around this estimate.
About 6500 on a stock 2016 wrx. If you do all the work you’re self except the tune. Expect you’re car too sit awhile.

It’s completely fine on corn.
Again dual map so it’s swappable.
you gotta read into it.
A lot of people run it reliably but i kept the reliability in mind
With a stock block at 400whp.

Boy I've read some silly things, this might be the best yet. Unless you only put around that's one rip away from a 10k dollar rebuild.

Cheap, powerful, reliable. Pick two.

You have cheap, and you have powerful.
