Recently bought a sti with some work to take it up the the standard it should be at

 

Has 331bhp 

 

HKS filter

TD05 turbo

FMIC

Alcatek ECU

Straight through exhaust

 

Thats all I know that has been done to the engine

 

Here is some photos, many more to come along the way  :D

Looks nice [emoji1]

Very nice,nice power & td05 as well :)

Nice clean looking classic you've got there fella

some choice mods as well ;-)

loooking good geeza looking forward to following this one ;)

Yep like it alot :) 

Does the IC pipe work look like its for a different version though?

What do you mean mate ? The intercooler &pipeworks aftermarket so it's up to the person who's installed it as to which pipes to use

For me it looks like a cheap eBay kit and doesn't really sit that well

Ah fair enough, whats your plans ? Rip it out and start again or just try and re route & improve

Wasn't an area I was really looking into but after a wee look around the engine bay area I think I will have to swap it for a better fitting IC

 

Any ideas which kit for a good fit at a good price? Loads on ebay but guessing most of them are pants

No idea mate it's jot something I've looked at before someone will be along to point you in right direction though

Looks like the pipework might be either from a early classic or newage cos the silicone join pipes are in a different position to most classic one's ive seen .

japspeed fmic's have a fairly good rep think there about £200 new

Autobahn work well about £150 second hand (if you can find one)

I was lucky enough to pick up my hdi fmic for £200 second hand (but only trial fitted not used) as they're about £450 new

is the core branded and in good condition ?

If so it might be worth scouring the forum's to see if someone will split their kit and sell you just the pipework/joiners

Just had a look and the Japspeed one is £300 posted, that's a price I will be happy to pay

 

Think the problem has been that the car is actually a 97 registered car and I believe is slightly different from 96 and below engines. They have probably just bought a classic IC without looking properly

 

Core is good but doesn't seem to have any branding on it

Well the car has been sitting at home for a wee while without me as my work has had me in Singapore Since November. Had people starting her up and taking it for a spin.

 

While I have been away bought a pioneer double din stereo, upgraded the front speakers and bought a Blitz Nur Spec R cat back system. All waiting to go on when I return at the end of the month

 

Now looking for some nice alloys to replace the current ones which i'm going to keep for my winter set

Addressing the sounds inside and out - like it :)

The blitz exhaust wasn't a success, turns out that the system on the car at the moment doesn't break at the same location as standard. So have sold the exhaust, got what I paid so all good.

 

Bought some alloys which should come shortly.

 

Gone with BK 333's

 

Looks good, few mods i've spotted with it so far ( in case you didnt know), V3 car,

Face lift front end

rear spoiler (v5 rep or possibly P1 spoiler cos of the carbon lip)

P1 front lip
