EQ Tuning built 2007 STI
Hey guys!
I know i posted before but this time its for real... time to part ways with my baby. Just a time in my life that I have to set some priorities so the sti has to go. (just sold my 2009 r6 Raven this past week)
Im posting this pretty quick while im at work so ill update as i go and will have pictures up by monday 4/9
Basically bought the car 2/1/2011 from a Toyota dealership here in the Sacramento area with about 46k miles on the car and i ended up blowin the motor on the way to socal and the car had about 53k miles on it 6/3/2011. Ended up calling Ed over at EQ Tuning and he ended up building the motor and pretty much doing all the work that had been done to the car. As the car sits there is about 58.5k miles on it.
You will see, when i post the pictures, that the car basically look like a wingless bone stock sti. It does have a few scratches along the car and a cracked windshield but nothing bad at all
Here is a quick list of everything done as it sits:
-EQ stage 1 block minus the #3 cylinder
-EQ stage 1 head
-FP 68HTA turbo
-Ebay tmic heat treated
-Cobb ap
-Perrin inlet
-APS 70mm cai
-Hallman mbc
-TurboXS stealth back w/g200 3" axle back
-Perrin el headers
-Cosworth air bump Delete
-NGK one step colder spark plugs
-Walboro 255
-DW 1300cc injectors
-Grimspeed TGV deletes
-RPS clutch
-RPM cassis brace
-Perrin 25mm front sway
-EQ custom e85 tune
With all this done the cars is putting down 23whp and 31wtq on EQ's dyno witch reads low like a mustang
I have all receipts for all the work that has been done on the car since ive owned it and adding up to about 15k worth or work! And when the motor was rebuilt the water pump and timing belt were replaced
Asking price is $3.75 and a chipotle burrito
Looking to trade for something that will move under its own power
Feel free to ask if u have any questions

Car had a failed head gasket (first time after over 100 built engines here). Its currently being fixed under warranty at no expense to the customer. Meanwhile, we inspected the rest of the engine and everything else looks perfect.
Thanks

So just new head gaskets are being done? Nothing else?

No word from Chris or EQ??
If its fixed under warranty and the customer doesnt have to pay, does that mean it will take 4+ weeks to get it back?

I'm assuming this tune was done on meth as well?
