grambo's STI updates

grambo · Post by **grambo** » Fri Nov 09, 2007 6:04 pm

I know most of you don't care. I do miss my 2GN friends quite a bit though...
I just went COBB Stage 1 yesterday. It equals around 20HP/20TQ. It also cleans up power delivery throughout each gear and throughout the powerband. This means it keeps pulling in 5th and 6th like it was in 3rd or 4th...

My wife has the car today so I dont even get to enjoy the new improvements yet...lol

As of this afternoon, I will have the necassary down-pipe to go Stage 2. So, by the end of November I will be Stage 2 tuned.

After that a ProTune with some Christmas money and voila...probably around 300HP to the wheels.

Moxhair....come home so we can play Subie on the farm roads sucka'! Florida sucks.

That would be a good time right there.

The MoxSRT vs The GramboSTI

Knowing what you did with that ACR, I know this thing is gonna be so badass.

Keep us updated.

MmmMmm Sti

It would be nice to see you run it against mox although I think the stage3 might get ya

Wheres the Pics At !?@

MoxHair · Post by **MoxHair** » Fri Nov 09, 2007 7:25 pm

you'd get me in the corners. My damn car will not keep traction in the turns at any speed unless I'm in the wrong gear. Its kinda scary at times.

But I'd have you on the straights

Good times.. good times.

You need to get that thing on the dyno and onto the track so I can bench race you from 3000 miles away. lol

With stage 2, I believe I would still have 60whp and 40ft.lbs on you..

John you have me beat by .27 in the quarter.

LowNSlow · Post by **LowNSlow** » Sun Nov 11, 2007 9:10 pm

The car doesn't have the supercharger on it anymore.. I took it off and I am order the 62mm turbo kit for it...

I ran a 50 trim SRT last weekend... I was only on 5psi for some reason..

It was ugly for him..

a 50trim might make more peak power, but a Stage 3 car has a more usable power band

But the S3 has its limits. Once I get the money I'm going SCT.....

MoxHair · Post by **MoxHair** » Mon Nov 12, 2007 10:55 pm

i'll never touch those limits.. there is such a thing as too much power

Grambo you bring the STI, Mox you bring the SRT and I'll bring the camera. How's about we meet in Merced? Thats about half way.

.......grambo. I'm jealous. I wish I didn't want to keep my warranty.

grambo · Post by **grambo** » Tue Nov 13, 2007 12:16 pm

warranty

I have a 100K warranty.
In the event of a failure, I'd have to have it towed home, then unmarry the COBB maps, remove the downpipe, remove the springs, and remove any other "performance" goodies.
Then tow it to the dealership.

No biggy.

Hows the 3 treating you?

I'll likely be around more again. Gramma in Palo Alto is getting needy again.
I'll be down in PA on Thrusday night. Not sure if I'll be able to swing by though. I'll call you.
