I pushed about the same from my vb, had the tune about a year310-330 is about average for these mods depending on the tune day temp. 400+tqe is about the limit for the 6 speed gb to. Nice build so far
Keep in mind that if you start to play with boost, fuel and ECU you might blow up the engine. The reason I say this because from the factory you get the most reliable tune . I know that I felt excited the same way years ago but the more I have learned the more failures I have seen the less excited I get . You see even if everything is done correctly once you start burning more fuel your exhaust temperatures would rise and you don’t have temperature sensor on the inlet to the turbo and temperature sensors on each cylinder. What happens during engine overload condition is your exhaust temperature will go much higher that the engine can tolerate and with in few minutes your exhaust valve will grow from the excessive heat but since your valve guides are cooled by the engine coolant they will remain the same size and it won’t take long when your exhaust valves friction between the valve guide and the valve will exceed the spring pressure and than you will have valve float this is an interference engine this meant the valve won’t close on time and the piston will hit the valve. After that the valve drop piston will hit it again and come out from the side of the engine. Then your engine is done the block is broken everything will be in to pieces.
I was watching your videos last night on tv,and i give you credit you're videos are really good. Keep up the good work and looking forward to future videos 👍👍
Really appreciate the support! Tanner and yourself were a huge inspiration behind me starting this channel and my build. Love your channel and keep up the amazing work you do for the VB community!
Thanks Bro! This was a mod ive always planned jsut happened sooner than expected as a full set became available. I havent had a proper chance to test them out yet, but they are feeling good and will help out when i eventually track this car.
All up was just over 5K USD on current conversion. Calipers came from a local source, not eBay or even a pre-made brake kit. I'd look at the kit from FastWRX if you are in the USA.
I was planning on Maximum as they tuned my old WRx, but unfortunately they are booked out until January. Currently checking out Evo R as they've done a friend's VB as well.
Hi mate, just picking up my vb wrx tomorrow (Sydney). I was thinking of going to pulse racing for a pro tune soon after run in. Who would you recommend?
In the Sydney area id be looking at Upspec Performance for the VB. Dan Um has been working with the VB since day 1 and has a range of packages to choose from. For other after market work try DC Jap and Street Element/Dmaker - both have workshops that can install parts for you.
Hi mate, Great video, I've just changed mine over today, after watching this video I ordered the gearbox mount bushing before installing the COBB plate and bushing, so thanks for the tip!
Hi mate cool videos,I've got the sti lip aswell but scrapped in driveway, was wondering what colour code would you use for the calipers cherry blossom red,,,so I can get touch up for front lip ,,,thanks man ,,,ur build is looking sikkk
Thanks! You are not the only one, Ive got a small chip on my rear diffuser and the underside of my front lip is scrapped. Colour codes Ive found for the Subaru STI is either pantone 207C or Pantone 1935c
Thanks for the feedback! Still learning how to colour grade the Sony footage so should see some improvements over the coming videos. The sunnies do need a clean though!
Looked better stock.. never understood people that put the next model ups badge/parts on it lol focus fe with st badges.. Veloster turbos with the N wing on it etc 😂
Hey! Only took me a couple of hours, but this was my second time doing sway bars so I had a little idea of what was required, and the use of a hoist helps.
It's more a question of what isn't on my list, but I'm really happy with where the car is at. Small Dress up CF pieces soon, but it'll be the big engine bolts ons next - FMIC, J pipe, Pro Tune.
love the vids im thinking about getting a VB thanks to you!!! I had a VA but gave it to my dad. Ill be getting the orange one hopefuilly in about a month.
Yes. I don't know why I didn't show it in the video (had to re-watch to check) but everything is back on correctly including the factory heat insulation material. From memory I used the new hardware to secure the air duct back in place.
If you are worried about warranty then I wouldn't really change anything, or get things done by Subaru themselvea. Subaru offer one from factory on the Club Spec model in Aus and I think optional for the S4 in Japan, so they wouldn't offer it, if it voided warranty, even if this is a 3rd party wing. Warranty of panels would only be an issue if there was a major defect to the panel that would be covered by such a warranty. Anything else would be classified as general wear and tear or accident damange and wouldn't get covered anyway.
A car dealership near me (Edmonton, AB) has a blue 2022 wrx with the STI wing which looks quite nice. However, they went way too far and put STI badges on the front and rear, now that should be a crime!
The Alcon kits are definitely pricey. Im going to try and get a brembo setup especially now that the TR/Ts and Club Spec versions exist which means those parts should slowly become available. Either that or a STI set from a VA.
My next install is the COBB shift plate and bushing, white line rear sub frame inserts and a stiffer improved gear box mount, a note to all, beware of the IAG Air to oil separator (AOS) they don't fit Australian model vehicles where the master brake cylinder clashes with the AOS canister install.
Shifter plate makes a huge difference to the gear shift. I think the Group N gear box mount is the best option - stiffer than stock, but still some give in comparision to say the solid mounts. We've always had that problem with the IAG AOS kits. Pro Speed have a RHD plates for the previous models to mount it to the left shock tower, but the VB has all its electronics here now, so not sure what will happen there. Also with my strut tower in the bracket wouldnt work either. The Radium Catch cans also have issues with any aftermarket Intake Shrouds.
@@VBWRXY I've I've recently installed the Radium dual catch can with success and looks great, I've got the COBB shroud that works with the Radium pipe work.
Cobb don't have an aftermarket intake shroud though, just the alternator shroud. Or the CF intake snorkel. The PW and ETS (possibly even the Perrin) intake shrouds clash with the radium catch can that mounts to the ABS system.
I initially wanted to go ETS for all my upgrades, but the intake is currently double the price of the PW. Upspec Garage who supplied my tune have their development car running similar power/torque to yours.
@@VBWRXY I am not familiar with them or what PW intake is capable of. At the time i made my purchase, 2yrs or so ago, there was only ETS intake that had the larger diameter opening and required tuning, once inner metal sleeve was removed.
Process West is an Aussie brand and has plenty of kit for Subarus. I believe their intake is very similar to the ETS in terms of air flow and requires tuning too.
