ruggerheist Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Currently running stg 2+. Typhoon intake, perrin catted dp, hks silent cbe, borla headers. The end goal is at least 500 whp. I know what I need to do it, but what's the safest order to go before I start swapping transmission and block? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brilliant sleeper Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Are you doing the work yourself? If not, then let a shop that specializes in Subie's decide this for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibr_adam09 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I'm pretty sure you'll have to start tearing apart at the internals if you want to safely boost up to 500 hp ie : pistons, rods, valves, springs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRSCobra Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Take the car and $10k to EFI Logics in CT. That should get you to 500whp. Will the trans last? doubtful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fonts Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 If your goal is 500 whp ..... buy another car. The LGT will not reliably get you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTTuner Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I hope your planning on some serious drivetrain work. 5EAT? Forget about it. I'd call crawford performance, maybe they have a built motor for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoDork Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 *duh* EASIEST way to get to 500whp. Buy another STG2+ LGT..BAM, you're already halfwayz there...just repeat, rinse and set it & forget it! My (old) LGT was @ 380wHP and i think that was riding the line of just enough/too much ~Sucka-Duck~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruggerheist Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 well this turned out to be worthless thanks for no help, i dont want a new car, i know i have to build engine and a full transmission/drivetrain swap the question i posed was how? i think out of all the retarded reponses 2 were helpful and i appreciate it. will the stock engine and trany be ok if i upgraded turbo and intercooler first? besides injectors and a monsterous fuel pump what are the other support mods im looking at? please stay away from idiotic responses.
