Jamina Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 It's an idea that is early in it's life so I wondered if anyone on here has experience in doing something similar and what can I expect in cost to get there? How far power wise can I get with a 2.1 or should I be aiming for a different set up entirely? I do not plan on undertaking any of the work myself, I do not have the experience to even begin something like this so where would you go to get something built that will stand the test of time. I'm not interested in doing things by halves so when this project is undertaken I want to go somewhere reputable. My expectations in the end would be something that could be used as a daily, completely road legal and has as little lag as possible. I am not a BHP chaser but I would imagine it would have to end up about 500BHP-600BHP or I may as well just stick with the stock internals. Current setup is a 53 STI @340BHP Appreciate the feedback all, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 My advice, find a tuner your happy with and go with their advice. 500+ is not gonna be cheap, prob 15-20k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamina Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 I can live with that. Plenty of time to get prepared and I would rather plough money into the STI than keep going through different motors. Would still be good to hear from from someone who has gone down this route and any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattiekane Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Would a built 2.5 not be a cheaper option? Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamina Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 I guess I'm not too bothered about the cheaper option it's about creating something that will last. I will start contacting tuners and see what suggestions I get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattiekane Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Think I'd suggest getting in touch with scoobie clinic or such like an have a chat with them. I've always lived by the "car triangle" You can pick two and it won't be the 3rd Fast......cheap......reliable So if you want fast and reliable it won't be cheap Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk tbh not huge difference. for 500 2.5 will need closed decking plus you'd need to source the block etc etc. Scoobyclinic built my 2.5 specifically for 500-550 and would be my personal choice if i was to have another built, just can't beat the low down grunt imo :) and as mattie says, cheap normal means wont last, with all supporting mods and such im well over 20k with a bit more spending to come to get to the 500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamina Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Sounds good to me, like i say i'm not looking for the cheapest option - more than happy to invest. Will ring around and see where I get. Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
