Big thanks to the EQ Crew!! (Again!)
Huge thanks and thumbs up to the EQ crew! Just got my car back from having a complete motor rebuild, turbo upgrade, etc etc. done and it feels AMAZING!
I can't wait to get it broken in so it can get tuned. Huge thanks to Nash for all of his hard work in getting this done. Thanks to Ed for working through everything to get it finished up and back on the road. - Matt |
What turbo did you go with?
|
Element GT52 with the upgraded waste gate actuator.
|
you just changed your sig lol
your going to be over 375 whp? haha |
Thanks Matt! I'm glad the car is feeling good. Your motor sounded excellent and the car drove very smoothly during the test drive. I'm really excited to see what it does once its broken in :)

[QUOTE=whitewrx408;3071966]you just changed your sig lol

How's the break-in going Matt?

[QUOTE=EQ Tuning;3074883]How's the break-in going Matt?
-- Ed[/QUOTE] Great so far!! I've put over 400 miles on it already and its running SO smooth. I can't wait to get the final tune done, it wants to pull so hard already. Cold starts after sitting over night are a little rough and take a few tries to get it to turn over, but once its been running it starts up instantly. After that everything runs so smooth. I honestly can't believe its the same car with how much better it is running now. Awesome work on it! |
Sounds like a great build from Ed and the crew! I like to here about the cold start issue, I have been fighting this for last 6months thinking my car was only car having problems. Only has issues when car sits for the day, once started it will crank over fine. I think I gave Miles a few extra gray hairs. Miles Got it dialed in now. Can't wait to check out the final tune....... Ed going to work his magic and we know now how he does it.......: banana :

Hmmm, so it looks like you are breaking in the motor on E85???

Yes, the car is running on E85 currently. |
Hey man,
How are you liking that GT52? I was leaning towards that turbo in the future. Thanks Kevin. |

But so far even on stock boost and having to break in the motor it feels fantastic. Ed's crew did such an awesome job setting up the car for it, I can't wait to see how it pulls once tuned. |
NICE!
I'm going back tomorrow morning to finish up my E85 tune with Ed! I CAN'T WAIT!!! (didn't mean to thread jack, lol) You gotta post up some specs afterwards! |
Holy crap!!!! The STI is an absolute monster now.
Ed will post up the full details, but we made 419whp and 465 ft/lb torque. It pulls SO hard and is insanely smooth. Awesome work again by the EQ crew! :) |
