I was able to finish the write-up for anyone who is interested in installing injectors into their car. It's another super long step-by-step guide. So enjoy!!

Quick post on fuel economy from the ride...
387 miles driven on the tank. Didn't hit boost for all of the miles driven (boring and tough to do) 850cc injectors 24.9 mpg This is what the factory readout was, haha Small shot from my iPhone taken after the trip. |

Did you do the calculation of miles driven divided by the gallons put back in the car? To see which is more accurate?
I've been following this thread for awhile. My '12 SWP WRX hatch was ordered last week. Love your progress. I actually used one of your pictures for the photoshop thread. I wanted to see what my current wheels would look like on your car since I will be going the mudflap, lowered route as well. Hope you don't mind! The results are below. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...ostcount=15022 http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...ostcount=15023 The result shows my gold wheels way too saturated compared to their true color, and it looks like they are a bit small. In reality they are 18's and will probably be a little bigger. |

I should try something like that for seeing what color wheels I would like to put on the car. I just need to take some time out and actually do it. Also, I just finished up the 6 Hour drive from Maine to NY so I'm going to fill up in the morning before my tune and see what the comparison is to the AP's calculation. It has to be close, I got 385 miles on one fill-up and I put 15.3 Gallons in the car before I left, that comes out to 25.16 I'll see for sure in the morning... |

Forgot to mention I am also subscribed to this thread. I'm going to be doing many of the things you already have. How has the Invidia exhaust grown on you? After looking through all the options I think the Invidia looks the best, but I don't want a huge increase in sound, which I think you were after as well. |

Okay, here it is guys...
I was disappointed with the results just because I had higher expectations then what I really got. The car had to be tuned for 93 but then scaled down because there is no 93 octane in Maine. Since I couldn't find 91 in Connecticut the tuner had to tune with 93 and guess on how the 91 would react. So, I have a very conservative 263 HP and 302 TQ. What do you guys think? Also, I made a video of the shop and a couple runs... |

Go home, fill up with 91, and get an e-tune from phatbotti or torqued performance. Not EFI's fault, they can only guess without the proper fuel in the car.

^Xluben, I'm pretty sure Jason said e85 isn't readily avaible in Maine.
Man, I was honestly expecting greater 300whp and 330wtq on 91, it is a Mustang dyno though! At least you can be assured you have a safe running tune and your engine is not likely to have fairly over the long run! |

In all actuality besides the number, I feel this is the best performance for me and my driving style. I have a super reliable, faster, smoother daily driver. That is what this build is all about! I would have loved to see 300+HP but even if I did it still wouldn't get me to a track any sooner. Till next time... |

I think those numbers are really respectable. I'd rather have more TQ than HP. It looks like you have really created a fantastic daily driver, which is what you set out to do in the first place. So, congrats!

I didn't even get a map for the 93oct, that would have also been another $200. It sucks about not having higher octane fuel but it is what it is... |

Yes, I'm a little bitter because I spent so much money for a rather low number, but I can drive this car as hard as I want all day without any concerns of damage and that seems worth it to me. |

Regardless I would be happy and enjoy, they are just NUMBERS. Guarantee if you post a virtual dyno run or airboy spreadsheet those #'s would be significantly higher. Most guys only post virtual dyno results and get all butt hurt about such differences.

Oh yeah BTW, I've been researching brake options as well. Not sure if thats something you've been looking into at all. Came across this http://www.tceperformanceproducts.com/wrx/kits-12/ Definitely beats buying a used Sti Brembo set or spending alot more on other kits.
Looks extremely promising if you ask me, for a bit more stopping power and awesome looks. You can compare the calipers they use on willwoods website. |

I think that is great numbers, remember Mustangs read low and I spoke to EFI when Akuma did my car as well. 263 WHP is very respectable and more in line then the moon reading dynos we sometimes see on here. Does the car run good? Are you happy with the tune? thats all that matter. I got 237WHP on Akumas mustang prior to the HTA68 install. And that was stage-2 plus!
