Just got back home from picking my car up from RA Motorsports in perth

Top notch service the whole way through and what a finish they done on my engine bay

It was starting to get dark so the pictures are a bit funny with the colour but will get some better photos tomorrow












and finished off with a remap with andy forrest which he said it will be between 345 - 350 BHP I would of got more but the RCM induction kit restricted it a little bit but I am very happy with the BHP I got with the remap.

If any of you are from this part of scotland RA Motorsports is a excellent place to get work done on your subaru

 

STUNNING!!!

Bonnet dampers next?

 

I have dampers delivered on monday along with a set of super hellitones

also I had a nice blue powder coated alternator on but it died on us so put the old one on and RA Motorsport is spraying me a new one in the candy blue he done the other parts of my engine bay in

 

Vry nice
I like the candy blue

 

cheers buddy

the colour in the pictures look a bit off

here is a picture with better colour

 

So what power did you get then niz, was it road mapped or dyno mapped?

 

Cheers lads

Hi steve road mapped and andy forrest reckons between 345 and 350 bhp

 

Wish my engine bay looked like that, mine looks as if a bomb full of **** has exploded in it.

Andy is a top bloke, I get my work done there.

 

you could eat your dinner off that engine bay, lovley job.

 

LOL I know what you mean this was my engine bay one week ago



Andy is a fantastic guy my car was at the end of the day when he was closing up and I had a chat to him for 15 mins and he sound as a pound.


cheers buddy

still a fair few bits in the engine bay I want to do but its really making me smile when I lift the bonnet

 

Very nice Niz!

 

cheers john

 

Nice. gona have to change your name to Jizmo Bay.

 

Holy ****, I think I just leaked a little from my shaft!

How much roughly did that set you back? If you don't mind me asking!

 

Very nice engine bay.
Did Andy specifically say why the RCM air filter was holding things back? I am running a similar set up with over 400bhp.

 

Tidy,what did you do with your old tmic?

 

It's all about volume Maz
Whilst the RCM cone looks the part it's internal volume isn't that great

Surely a cone filter of that size should suffice for circa 400bhp. It seems quite large.

 

Cheers ditch

Hope that name dont stick tho

 

I have my sti top mount intercooler sitting in my boot going to put it up for sale over the weekend

 

Yes , it will cope your right , but induction needs everything working with it to produce

Simple terms - suck squeeze bang blow

Anyway , if Harvey were here R.I.P.
He'd give you a full page right up on how the RCM lacks the punch of larger , & cylinder filters , I have tried them all ...
If your happy with your figures & your car works well
Leave it on I say . They certainly look cool

Regards

 

I think To get the 400 and above on a newage sti a bigger turbo injectors and fuel rails are needed
Plus things like ss headers, decat, ss exhaust, fuel pressure regulator, FMIC
dont know how much bhp would be achieved with all these mods plus the rcm induction kit tho but i will be finding out though

 

What induction kit would you recomend for getting 450 bhp and not a rotated set up as i dont want that
as thats what i will be aiming for once the stroker and bigger turbo goes on

 

Entirely your choice Nizmo
It's your car m8
I use this type of K& N on mine

 

I've got the same filter and around 480(ish).

 

Andy tends to use the foam type ram air filters on his own cars.

 

Like I said in post 22 it is more than capable
I'm not putting the RCM down
But it ain't the best ,
Best looking tho

 

Goin big maf the Perrin short ram big maf & filter works very well
Ideally using 800cc injectors as they are designed in conjunction to allow easy scaling to get the AFR spot on

 

^
That's a foam type filter if your interested Nizmo
