john_robertson Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 Asking about an exhaust and Brian hasn't poped up yet As for tuning etc how far do you want to go?? 300 BHP easy from a few certain parts fuel pump exhaust (partial de-cat) re-map IIRC the bolb-eye STi's injectors are suitable for up to 350BHP'ish but fot that you'll need a different turbo and intercooler. John.
fai17 Posted April 19, 2005 Author Posted April 19, 2005 is your blitz noisy as me 2 wee ones are in back.thank
2559B Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 << Asking about an exhaust and Brian hasn't poped up yet >> don't worry Mr.NTS...it's just a matter of time before brian notices an exhaust question !!!! the guy must have a sixth sense when it comes to stainless steel... & shares in C+C !!! ( unless someone beats him to it !!! ) BTW --- hello & welcome " fai 17 " any pics of the car? as for tuning, second the re-map & de-cat
john_robertson Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 Surpirsingly it aint too bad, but I do have both the CATS still in place, if it is proving to much it comes with a baffel plate which can be fitted in about 1 min, it drasically cuts the noise level, TBH with the baffel plate in I think it was quieter than my WR Sport BB I had on before. IIRC there is a quiter version available think it is called the NUR Spec not the NUR Spec R. The only thing is it seems rather boomy when you first start the car up, so I always let it warm up before putting junior in the back. If you can get along to a meet or a track day and have a listen. John.
fraser_drinkwater Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 Alright m8, welcome to the best club in the world!!!

clan2_uk Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 << just got my sti8 na53--- in blue. Had prodrive springs fitted. Going to Grearsport in the morning to get the camber & tracking. Out of interest do Grearsport do prodrive settings or is it their own, also could you give a rough price on what they charged you (PM if you prefer).
wrxmania Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 Thanks Ally - some of us have to work for a living The standard shiny chrome piped STI exhaust makes a lovely sound - we all like that and stick to standard stuff (COUGH!) Brian

George St Paisley Imy's tag on here is micra_wrc, no doubt she will pop by for the customery welcome. As for mods........Decat, Headers, AndyF Remap and VF34 turbo will be a good start......or you can cheat by fitting a flamer kit, neons and kidding on you have a fast car...............................
