HAHAHA negative on the prius! Last week not alot occurred I hurt my back and it's just getting better. I'm working on fabbing up a new air intake might be dropping down to a 3" instead of the 3.5 but haven't decided yet. Once I finish that I'm going to make an air box and a mount for the surge tank under the hood

Turbo is 100% in. The intake fits just really tight, might just fab up an extension and have it welded so it will be a CAI and gain some clearance. Also I had to grind off the bottom bracket holding the ABS up to make it fit LOL

So major updates today. Made the decision to rip the turbo kit out and sell it. Fitment is just piss poor and im done trying to create work arounds, Especially since i lost my EGT due to poor placement by full race. Looking at either an ETS kit with gtx3076 or the new xona rotor 65/64 turbo series. Possibly a fog light mount kit with either turbo

Sorry to hear, but sometimes thats just what needs to happen with a project. Buy the kit new? Might bug them about a return option if you haven't messed with the parts much, always worth at least asking. Good luck on the next steps.

HAHAHA just saw this... Yeah FR has some **** products, but some good ones too.
My advise: Don't buy anything but their headers and up-pipe (possibly their DP). And for the love of god, don't have them weld any bungs anywhere. Get your own turbo, your own DP, and your own boost tubes. The rest of their stuff is so bad it hurts. Trust me. (refer to my build for more rant) Razgeiz return it. It isn't an if you can return it. There is a guy their named Matt (production manager or something) and he was able to let me return everything I didn't use. He was very helpful. Talk to him. As for as this guy? not sure why he is laughing (is it at Razgeiz?) I hope not. 500whp daily is very possible and I myself run a 500whp daily and love it. Very possible and achievable given the right stuff. Razgeiz, not sure how far along you are but if you need some advise, shoot me a PM and I can give you my cell. I feel like I am the guinea pig in a lot of issues others have faced. Last edited by Stags4; 09-15-2016 at 02:47 PM. |

What are common failure points with 500 WHP Sti's? I was reading this thread and a lot of people were saying they blew motors after 10k, but never citing what happened. Piston, rods, sleeves, etc.
Wondering if building a closed deck block with forged rods and pistons would make it last longer than 10k. |

I'm daily driving mine at 467AWHP right now... maybe it's the 33HP that makes the difference.

I think saying that for it to be a daily, you need to have harsh cold starts, lugging, missed oil changes, crappy fuel, and lack of maintenance I find to be wildly incorrect. I take care of all my cars even the third bastard child of the family (2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee). I couldn't imagine having something broken and still drive it, or miss an oil change, or put crap oil in it, or don't let it at least warm up a minute or two(who doesn't have a minute... like really).
I daily my 500whp (well 550whp) STI and I suspect I should have no trouble in the near or later future. If something needs to be replaced, I will replace it. I guess people treat their daily's differently... If it's the one I am in more than ever, why wouldn't I want to make it perfect? ANYWAY, please give us an update on your build so we can stop this "500whp daily isn't a thing" nonsense. |

IAG Stage II-tuff short block.
If something happens, it happens. That's the assumed risk. It's still my daily and I don't beat the ever living piss out of it every chance I get. Also, none of my dailies have ever had prolonged oil changes - I do it at 2.5-3K intervals. Basic maintenance is part of the game to keep any car running, this car is no different. |
