Modding an 08 sti
A friends friend has recently purchased a 2008 betty sti. Based in Dubai so assuming a 2.5l...
So has informed me that friend wants to mod it and is not overly concerned on costs..... So, suggestions..... Im thinking you would aim for 450hp at the fly. Would be a very zippy betty. Whats out there for the betty? Thinking of hitting the trust or HKS catalogue hard....T67-25g or 3037 turbo size FMIC....intake, zaust.....colilovers, sways, bushings, braces..... But what of the ecu? Also who could tune it? That really is the decider.... any clues? Where would you purchase from? I would suggest nengun etc or maybe even a US supplier?

The Coilovers that are available are pretty harsh ATM. For a daily he might want to wait till more friendly versions come out (assumption).
I have Whiteline Springs, Adjustable Sways and Rollcentre kit on order. The standard supension is pretty good but the body roll and hieght gets to me.

ECUTek and exhaust are a good way to start on a modest power-up...but in Dubai?...hmmm...tricky... I suggest that he contacts MMS (after Targa west) for some advice. |

He only needs advice off them for a start just to get him going in the right direction. Besides, with seemingly deep pockets there is no reason he couldn't arrange to ship over modded parts or even an entire built engine etc.

hmmm because u cant tune an ecutek 10,000 miles away... unless hes going to pay for them to go over to dubai... and if ur going to do that then ur better getting a standalone ecu.. And i think there are ALOT more cheaper and better alternatives like COSWORTH/AXIS then to go to a small engine builder...
