Default 2018 White Pearl Sti Type-ra(#406-500)build_thread

My 2018 STi Type-RA (#406-500) Build Thread. I have a tremendous amount of things to add to this but I guess the best spot to begin is the day I picked her up. I got her in Modesto California and live in Colorado Springs so it was a Journey to say the least bringing your home. But it was a great time for me to break in the engine properly. I took week just to get her home, when in the past I have made the trip from Cali to Colorado in less than one day Non-Stop. Here she is the day I got her With 57 Miles on Her.

Thought I would share with you guys my new mods. just got my new COBB Titanium Cat-back Exhaust. I LOVE!! the sound of this thing. Its by far the best sounding exhaust i've ever heard on a STi. The one complaint I have is that it is a tad loud with a Catless downpipe. If I had a Catted Downpipe it would be 100% perfect. I'm going to add a Titanium Vibrant Resonator with a couple Titanium V-Band Clamps. To fix this and the hardly noticeable bit of drone it has being Cattless. Overall I'm loving it!

The Cobb Titanium Cat-back Exhaust looks great, it's the number 1 choice if I decide to upgrade the OEM as it is a bit quiet.

I found a sheet of Carbon Fiber that I bought a wile back. So I also made a couple Carbon Dress-up items for my engine bay. I made a new bracket for my Delicious Flex-Fuel Controller because I hated it on top of my Fuse Box. It was also a great place to mount my Buddy Club Grounding Condenser. I used a couple brackets i found laying around to mount it to the side of my battery. I also made a bracket for my Ethanol Content Sensor.

Awesome looking car! Great build so far, I'm considering the Cobb titanium cat-back myself. I'll be running their catted downpipe vs. catless due to yearly emissions testing in MA. Do you happen to have an exhaust clip?

Of course man. Personally, I think the stock RA looks best, or with very subtle mods.

Power wise, you've got a solid selection of parts, well done!

Does the Cobb exhaust drone at all, or is it fairly quiet overall?

Before my FP Green install I was making 368WHP / 392TQ @ 6200ft ELV @ 18.5 PSi on the stock turbo. I am still currently working on the tune on the new turbo and I am waiting on my new WALBRO 530LPH Fuel Pump to arrive right now. The AEM 320LPH E85 Pump I had installed had started to fail after only 6 months. So It has not really been safe to do anymore tuning since my AEM Pump was cutting in and out mostly at high RPM. Ill keep you posted.

Your NASIOC Administrator

I thought I would post a few new pictures of the fuel line and FMIC install. Hope to have her back on the road soon!

I think I'm going to have to do a little bit of bumper modifications to open it up a little bit more for better air flow.

I also picked up a new RCM oil filter, RCM drain plug and MOTUL 5W-40 Oil to replace the 5w-40 AMS Oil I have been running my cars whole life since this MOTUL is the recommended oil that Subaru recommends for there S209. I figured I would give it a try. I guess this RCM Oil Filter raises the oil pressure slightly higher than the standard Subaru oil filter, so Im interested to see how it will preform. I also liked the price of the RCM filter over the STI Pink filters. I also did not want to wait a month + for my filters to arrive from Japan.

I made a nice Carbon fiber bracket for my new ID-F750 Fuel Filter. I think it turned out pretty good.

Default MoveOver Racing Bumper QRS

I decided to install my MoveOver Racing Bumper Quick Release Bumper System wile installing my FMIC and the install went great. The only thing I can say is measure 6 times and drill hole in the bumper 1 time. Thankfully I did this! Taking the bumper on and off to mark the spot for the QRS Latches is a real P.I.T.A!! But the final result was worth it! The latch brackets are extremely strong and over all the kit gets an A+ in my book.
