This is my 2012 STi. Purchased it with 59,000 miles and unknown to me at the time purchase, it has ringland problems. It has hobbled along fairly well for the past 2-years, drinking oil and getting me from A-to-B when needed, but it's time to put it out of it's misery. This sees a lot of garage time, but it also is a daily driven car.
The car is currently running a Blouch 20G with lots of supporting mods and barely passed 300whp...running very rich to reduce knock from all the oil being burned. Advanced timing is pulled wayyyy back as well.
I will be installing an IAG Stage 2.5 Block (Closed Deck), with GSC Built Heads/Stage 1 Cams. This should be pretty darn close to 450whp with my Blouch 20G to start with. Later, it will be rotated turbo (and larger turbo) and e85 flex fuel to surpass 500whp. Not really chasing a number, whatever it is, it is...but those are pretty safe estimates.
