2011 Sti Build ?

Will you have to do oiling mods for this next motor?
6266 is sick! Hopefully the extra .5 will spool it a lot nicer vs a dsm

The extreme length of the header and how far the turbo turbo is away from the head exhaust ports makes them laggy. A 2.0l Evo with a 16G will decently outspool a 2.5l STI with a 16G. The Evo has the turbo 6 inches from the exhaust ports and also twin scroll. With the newer FA WRX, Subaru mounted the turbo under the motor, so the routing is much much shorts and they are using twin scroll now too.

Good luck on the build. It will fun to watch you build a nice all round car. 550 whp is plenty of power for any car.

Thank guys. And aaron for oiling ill be running a bigger oil pump to try to help out a little bit. And yea the turbo is mounted a ways away so it does take a bit to spool. But thats the fun part lol. I will go forward facing at some point to make a little spool time faster.

You could always run a big shot of gas to help spool quicker. Lol jk.

Little update on the Sti. Started to assemble the shortblock a little got my acl oil pump on and it looks great. Will be throwing on my killer b oil pickup tomarrow and thats mostly all i can do for now. Heads i ill be getting back at the begining of march as we are waiting on gsc to get cams sent out so we can check valve clearences.

hmm wonder if i should do a build thread of my car... I've got a gen2 6266 on my sti, spool isn't bad. Full boost around 5500. its a fun ass turbo, hits hard. you planning on staying on pump gas? I don't think 1300s will get you very far on e85, looks like a solid build though!

[dsmDolney]

I will be running id 2000s now realizing that 1300s wont give me what i want. I will be going e85 yes. But yea kicking my ass for not going closed deck but that will be next winter.
