Fuel system upgrades 2018 STI
Well I have spent quite a bit of time reading other threads and don't feel like I am any further ahead. I am new to Subaru but have experience with building other brands.
I have come to a cross roads on upgrading the fuel system so I am hoping for a bit of advice from people more familiar with EJ's. I have assembled most of the parts and am getting ready to install and tune soon and trying to decide if any fuel system upgrades are required/recommended. I do not have plans to upgrade the turbo. Mods: Cobb Accessport Cobb catted downpipe Nameless UEL Headers and up pipe Tomei 3" ti Catback Grimspeed CAI Cobb boost controller.

if it were me i would only consider upgrading the fuel system if going e85 and/or doing a turbo upgrade. at that point bigger fuel pump and injectors would be part of the plan.

But always try and listen to your tuner. Edit: I assumed you already had a pump, you'll def need a pump. Last edited by K3rm1tth3fr0g; 06-02-2021 at 09:49 PM. |

fuel pump is a must, not so much for injectors

What tune do you plan on using pro or e?
I’m finally starting to modify my 18 and looking forward to what numbers you make with these parts. |

I would add a fuel pump to the list for sure.

Related question...
I recently got my 2020 STI custom dyno tuned, made 290/306 wheel with the following mods: Cobb AP Cobb catted DP custom 3 inch exhaust 3 port EBCS Grimmspeed top mount intercooler I told the tuner to cap the mid range because I don't like mountain shaped torque curves, and also told him to take it easy on fuel system. Ended up with a nice flat torque curve from 3500-5700 RPM before tapering. But If I'm being completely honest, I was a bit underwhelmed with the end result. It's "okay", but leaves me wanting about 20% more after driving on it for a few weeks. My question is, how much is there to gain at "stage 2" by adding the pump and injectors? Is it even worth the trouble, or does it really only make sense at flexfuel/e85/larger turbo? Thanks in advance. |

You will gain mostly safety when upgrading fueling but the gains from E85 are BIG. I would look into ethanol, pump and injectors. |
