Great vid, earned my sub! Tho I have a WRX, the mod-path pretty much is the same. And I absolutely agreed on the ball-joint style Whiteline swaybar endlinks. Easy to install, yes; but started creaking in 2 months from the inside(where the ball-joint thingy is) somehow. Swapped them out with the Perrin ones and running so far so good.

Love the car and all cars with 🌟..#1 figure out where you want to end up , Subarus made in the US don't have the JDM goodies everyone wants ! I just finished a bugeye build , the second one so I was already aware of the issues i wanted reliability so I started with a good WRX body and bought a version 8 ej207 , s203 6 speed , axels R180 etc, etc , the absolute nessesary item's ( in my opinion ) are , stand alone ecu , intake , reverse cooling mod , equal length header's , catch can , Brembos or similar and a good radiator ! I burned up several 205s , junk . 2.5 will work but it needs to be fully forged $$$$$ ! Best option if you need a motor is a low mileage version 7 if you can live without avcs+dccd or version 8 . JDM engine doesn't work with access port but custom tune is best any way , all just my opinion but I have done it and made all the mistakes !

This video aged VERY WELL! 🔥 I just got into the Subie family a few weeks ago/w a 2011 STI 140k miles and found your channel. I watched a few of your videos and man you're like a Kungfu Master of Subie's (lol) I shall call you Subaru Sifu. On a serious note your knowledge of this platform is respected and this video will be used as a reference for me to build on. Quick question..... After buying my 2011 I immediately had a compression and leakdown done. The Compression was consistent across all cylinders @ 145psi (Within specs) Leakdown was Cylinder 1-2,4 10% (90) Cylinder 3 15% (85) What are your thoughts and maybe recommendations on this, taking into account I would like to build for a little more power (400hp)? Considering the mileage I do understand I may need to have internal work done. Would you think it's best to install a new long block and start from there? Thanks for the work you're doing on this platform..... Subbed!

Drunkmann tuning is pretty good he etuned my buyeye. I think it took 3-4 days. During the process I had to replace my coil packs and plugs since it started to misfire at high boost. But part of the etuning process was mainly our time zones. after all that he ended up sending me a burble tune once we finalized the map. He does travel a lot so if it’s in your area probably should hit him up on Instagram or Facebook. Factionfab is good to look into for rotors and coilovers for budget minded stuff. Perrin, Cobb, mishimoto tomei, or Invidia are good companies to stick around for a lot of engine stuff. I just installed my tomei exhaust with the Cobb catted downpipe, it’s pretty loud. With the bubble tune it pops and crackles a lot. I’m probably going to see him in feb when he visits Hawaii since I added the tomei ti exhaust for peace of mind. Hope you have fun with your build!

Of course paired with a boost controller. -Aside from the short shifter and many mounts/bushings I replaced, a CF driveshaft is the best investment I've done in that department. Low speed driving is much smoother and acceleration is a little peppier. No neck snapping, just enough to make you giggle. -The MC brace made the biggest difference in pedal feel. Pads, lines, and fluid for reduced stopping distance. -I went full HAM on suspension/bracing. It's by no means a beginner's way. -I recently installed fixed bucket seats. I feel eeeeeeverything that the car is doing.

How did you like the CF driveline? I've always been interested in one but could never justify it. EWG is the route to go to eliminate boost creep, still need to do one on my car 😅 Suspension bracing is what I'm focusing on right now

@@Smeedia Awesome. Yeah the (PST) CF driveshaft is another mod that many overlook but makes the driving experience much smoother. The great thing about this is you can feel a difference at all RPM ranges. It doesn't require a tune as some ask because it's not part of the engine. What you'll notice immediately is the 1st to 2nd gear change is butter smooth. No more jerking or bucking, even though I've been driving manual for 24 years, lol. Personally I'd do this over a feather lightweight pulley that can potentially damage the engine.

@@octurbojoe I've always stayed away from light weight pulleys, I dont trust the fact that your not using a harmonic balancer with most of them. I'll have to check out the driveshaft might snag one in the near future 🤔

@@Smeedia I haven't had any issues with my Grimmspeed Pulley. It's the "heaviest of the lightweight pulleys, lol. I'll be swapping it back to the OE pulley on my next oil change. Like the front strut tower bar, it's just placebo.

CF driveshaft and lighter wheels is definitely my next mod. Glad to hear someone say they think it was worth it!

Thank you

good shit man. very informative do you why you can't run an intake and a downpipe in the newer stis? my cousin installed both of those on his sti and he had to remove the intake for what you mentioned but idk the specific reason as to why...

The fuel system on the car cant support both, I talked to cobb about it and they said the 15+ STIs make more power than the previous generations (I think to compensate for the weight) so they lean out if you run both an intake and down pipe

Thanks for the vids. What bags are you running?

Thanks for the support! And airlift Performance sereies bags with their 3P managment

Thinking of doing a catback, cobb sf intake and 50/50 bov, will I need a pro tune or will my cobb accesport do the job? Also new sub!

An OTS Tune will work, I'd suggest keeping thr BOV at full recirc though 🙏

Thank you for the informative video! Just got a '13 hatch and was wondering should i mod accordingly to the things you mentioned about 15+ sti? My thinking since they're both ej motors

i was thinking MAYBE go flex fuel and stop there. but we’ll see... yeah i’m currently on a custom tune, that was the only way i could run this set up. cobb doesn’t officially support stage 2+ because the fuel system in this gen was already close to its max and wasn’t reliable in the colder months so it would run lean. that’s what they emailed me when i asked about it. it was either get a custom tune, take the intake off and go stage 2, or go full flex and do stage 3. but right now i LOVE how the car is responding and running overall so i’ll take this time to recover some money for a little bit 😅 after that though, gonna flex that flex fuel

Gotta say this is an awesome helpful video to someone who’s pretty new to modded Subaru’s ! I had reached out to a reputable local shop and they mention if I do a pro tune I don’t need injectors to run intake / DP, do you have any experience or a take on that?

For the 15+ MY STIs, you'll end up needing the fuel upgrades. I had the issue of running very Lean and my DSM immediately dropped and I had a lot of knock. Kept throwing CELs for lean fuel efficiency. I ended up calling cobb to ask them and they told me that the OEM Fuel system cannot support an intake and downpipe. I heard some tuners turn the boost down to compensate for the fuel to make them run okay without fuel upgrades. I ended up having to do Injectors, FPR and fuel pump

Smeedia thanks for the reply !! Appreciate the insight from someone who’s had the experience with it. Trying to keep it a reliable DD so it sounds like I shouldn’t try to take the shortcut. Sounds good to me though. A couple people did mention I’d need the fuel system to make much more power anyways.

@@christophermitria4537 Anytime, My goal is to help people out on here where I can, To push much more power you'll have to jump onto the fuel system. If you do decide to do so the CObb or ID 1050cc Injectors, Cobb Fuel Pressure Regulator and the DW300C are all good Fuel components to help get it to a fun power level of around 320WHP.

Thats a nice subi there! What rain guards are those, im trying to get one for my wrx
