So my question to you guys is this awesome innovate club is what is driving the twins like after adding the SC? Is it a rush of power to the small car? Or would you say the gains are just enough to make it a slightly more enjoyable car?

I am still doing etuning but this car is 10x more enjoyable now. You can feel a small rush in power but this is not a turbo kit so you aren't going to feel that as much.

I've had two buddies who own stage 2 STi's and both said they think my car is faster than theres...FWIW.

I can't wait to get a smaller pulley and put e85 in this thing.

Thanks so much for the response. This is what I was looking for, I drove a stage 2 legacy gt previously and i think it dynod at 260 whp. I loved that amount of power so anything close to that in this light car would be great. Happy to see even the STI guys dug it.

Any other mods besides the kit?

But remember legacy gt weights like 4.5k lbs

that was my point if I was even close to that power in this car I know I would be more than happy.

Yeah no problem man. I think you aren't seeing too much feedback right now because a lot of people are still getting their tunes worked out.

only other mods I have is the JDL UEL header, and ARK DT-S Exhaust. I just put the header on two days ago. And obviously EcuTek lol.

Yeah man, so far i'm really happy with it. I am sure I can speak the same for the other owners so far. I had some low end hesitation/power issues but that was all tuning and now that its taken care of, I don't have any complaints.

A tuner here got 255whp on the innovative and from my understanding it was not even the final tune

Maybe at @wrxgoose can chime in here

Ya was reading about that, was a smaller pulley and a more aggressive tune correct?

How are your clutches holding up or have must of you replaced them?

[wrxgoose]

it's the pulley that came with the kit. And JR will be coming down around the 17th, and I'm going to have him finalize the tune (finally) and the shop thinks that i'll be showing ~260.

I do think that the 3" exhaust is helping with this, and I've only got the Perrin front pipe that has the cat.

I'm saving up to buy a new clutch, since i'm just about at the limits of this one. no slippage yet, but iirc, it's rated to 220-225 lb/ft, and i'm VERY close to that.


edit: sorry if I worded it weird, just woke up, mind not working fully yet

nope. 93 octane. i'd rather not have to change the map every time I fill up if I can't find 85.

Do you think the header added a lot? I will probably run stock exhaust with the SC for a while.
