Linx Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Standard WRX Blob except for red hoses but very clean for a 2003 car. 2
K333vnt Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Not as nice as you guys bays but it's clean for a 2006 I guess 2
Pixyflash Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Stock '14 sti. Standard dirt. Still thinking of a cold air intake, but can't pin down any gains other than cosmetic/auditory, and trust me I need nothing to remind me she's a Scooby. (she's a muffler delete 😲) 2
WRRCwayne Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Not the greatest pic, and needs a clean, but getting there. 1

Got all the tape just haven't got round to it. Not sure I'll be doing as good a job as this though! Looks really neat. I have the same IC and that look awesome, is it just gold heat tape? 1

Fastboy67 Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Needs a bit more elbow grease to match some of the delights on show here but it's a work in progress all be it slowly. 1

(she's a muffler delete 😲) Not much from gains on CAI alone tbh. The standard air box is quite big and once you install a CAI, the dump valve noise is a LOT more noticeable. Changed mine just before xmas with a mishimoto CAI. You can get a permance air intake but don't go for that one. Pay the extra £50-£80 for the CAI. 1
Pixyflash Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Thanks for the info JohnM. ☺ Not sure I'll hear anything else over my burble, it can be pretty intense. Am I correct in thinking I can do a CAI without mapping? Everything else is stock apart from the axle back.

Save yeah money mate and just put a nice performance filter in airbox.you wont need to map a cai in.i had one a k&n cai on hatch which broke i changed it to a 20quid cone from Halfords and car is no diffrent to the 200+ one.i am goin back to a airbox when i can find one.

wrxstandard Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Whats the best way to start cleaning the engine bay? I hope it's not fairy liquid and a toothbrush...or a karcher on full blast?

You don't "really" need a map if you add a cat-back exhaust with CAI. If you change the down pipe or and/or headers you will need a map.

After that metal polish and toothbrush to get your alloy looking a bit better and silicone cleaner for the hoses etc. There is a thread on here somewhere with the results of a few hours spent on a bay, looks properly detailed, it did involve various sized brushes though - just cant remember who it was, possibly Salsa?? PS keep the jet wash away from your intercooler - you could take that off and clean separately 1

It's highly advised to get a map after changing the intake on the 2.5 sti engines , not an issue with a cat back tho Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk
