Question on the glass trans. If this is weak point is the rebuild a mod to handle additional power or is it just a factory rebuild back to standard glass? Thanks

Pretty sure MAP got bought by Fitment Industries, saw some email about it few weeks ago.

Hahaha i thought the same thing lol, also, what car dude doesnt know how to pronounce alfa romeo lol

Same here. Gotta make sure not to push it when the intake manifold is at 120F degrees or higher. Lol

@@HenDuKee facts! 🤣

@@HenDuKee making me wanna say freak my warranty and do it lol

Stock turbo?

@@nikesbeast yessir

All that to still be slow asl

What does your build consist of? Where did you get tuned?

@@ranran2218 well at 32k I got a 91 ots tune and an e30 ots tune from maperformance. That fun lasted till 62k miles where I added Cobb jpipe,ebcs, grimmspeed intake, changed bpv, Perrin turbo inlet, grimmspeed top mount intercooler, aem340 fuel pump, tuned by Ron Watson for e60/91. It’s not much faster than the e30 ots tune but I like it

wdym by maintenance just change oil,trans fluid,diff fluid on time?

Very underrated motor

I agree, many just hate on the Va wrx and on the FA20DIT

you dead right dude...it feels very notchy and engaging

Where'd you get all the work done?

@@StringBanger copy that just got the 2022 wrx base model and I definitely can't wait to play around with it in a year or two so I'm looking at trying to get up to 400hp nothing crazy use as a daily and I figure the higher range needs more tuning and less practical for a daily etc.

@@StringBanger thanks for the info live in CA not sure if the cobb convert kit is legal here anymore or if they make them I thought they had stopped

How’s it been

Very nice. Drives smooth, sounds good and is reliable and fast. No issues with the tune.

One day! You're gonna get it one day!

FA motors are the future

Is your E60 local? Or do you order it?

@@Ace62595 my accessport and flexfuel kit tell me the ethonal content. I mix 2 gallons of premium and the rest E85 when I fill up 🤟🏻

MAP stage 1 will clean up the power soooo well Ive been running it for over a year and would recommend 1000x over!! Stock tune is terrible

@@andrewtejada3164 True that, there is that benefit with the power curve and I've definitely read about it. I'm planning on doing tons of track days. But yeah Stage 1 is probably as far as I'd go

Don't ever get a crackle tune

Amen to that!

You’re really missing out then.. the fa20 is a beast

I just dont like the e-throttle response. Mine came with an STI short shifter so the throws aren't too bad, but I did add a shift adapter to minimize the side-to-side movement. But I'm also waiting for the next gen STI

@@mrch33sehed93 oh yeah. I'm telling you brother we are going to be in for a real treat when the new STI comes out. Let's hope Subaru doesn't screw it up

@@paulmarsdensr1095 fa24dit with an sti trans🤌🏽

You’re better off modding an older one Moding ones after 2010 are expensive My 06 sti makes ez 400hp Just a bigger turbo and an e tune Also, I have a 2018 type RA short block in it. That helps

@@blackfacegaming191 you need a little more than a bigger turbo and an e-tune for 400hp though. Fuel rails, injectors, fuel pump, fuel press reg, tgv deletes, air pump delete, fp black, intercooler, dp.. I had the og 04 some time ago, and all that got me 410 whp with a pro tune. This in 2006 was killer since turbo cars were not like it is today. My 2018 has only the map stage 2 and I’m lucky if I hit 310whp.

ELH will help with the 4th (and 2nd) cylinders

@@jacobschroeder5014 twin scroll turbos and equal length headers are underrated. Why don't the old STIs from Japan break as much as US ones? Clearly because of that irregular engine pulse design with unequal length headers. Yes if we change it our cars will sound like Hondas but still 💁

Stage 1 is just a 91/93 tune which helps the car out tremendously. So I wouldn't see why doing a e30 tune with stock intake and exhaust would be any different. I've seen some builds on e30 with cai hit 300.

Get an E tune it’s better for your car

Get flex and get pro tuned you won’t regret it

@@Dazai_Ren i havent found any good e tuner for the wrx, i was looking into yimisport for a pro tune

@@nikesbeast i was trying to hold off on flex fuel until i reached 36k miles, that way i can just pull my bolt ons, flash back to stock and see what the dealership says when i go for warranty work

@@Dazai_Ren e tune smee tune. I've had an e tune from a main guy every one loves and it ran like shit over the tuen from ma that I've been running for 4 years. No issue's. This tuner tells me its always gonna knock down low and no way to get rid of it. I told him he is full of shit and went back to the ma tune. Don't believe everything everyone tells you

E tune works just as good Cryo tune in Denver is world renowned e tunes

👌

Stock turbo? Ewgs?

@@nikesbeast yes

I’m at 400whp as well. With stock internals. I make sure to do oil changes every 2.5k miles.

@@HenDuKee if you’re running ethanol, oil changes every 1 or 1.5k at most!

How does it handle crawling in traffic for a hour? Only thing I'm worried about.

Tomei headers is a must have too

it's the FA, you can push it more without gambling on reliability, the EJ is a different story.

Highly recommend the Verticooler of the grimmspeed tmic to replace your factory tmic. Helps your car run a lot cooler with the new power you’re going to have

Why two so soon to one another?

Just ordered my 2021 premium wrx this week! Can’t wait. It’s gonna be a long 4-8 weeks lol

@@tylerp3397 Congrats. What color? I ordered the base model because I plan on ordering a 2024 STI when they become available. That’s my bucket list car LOL.

I ordered a white premium trim with the built in sub as the only extra option.

shop online ,go to denver, get it tuned , and drive home

That’s right!

Haha got a 19 myself and still haven't touched warrenty. The 7k miles on it and bumper to bumper warranty make me happy lol

How exactly?

I have been building my 2020 WRX Premium CVT (yes, I know, but rush hour traffic and constant shifting is lame). Easiest way to remember: BPV = No tune, BOV = Yes tune. Also I love Cobb and MAPerformance but don't flash OTS tunes and think you're done. You need to add a boost controller and get a protune. Probably 7-800 all in. Any catback or further exhausts need no tune as well. The fact that your dealership told you to to go and get a tune because of the MAF changes speaks to their integrity. Understand that if something breaks and it can be determined the tune was the problem, warranty will not cover. Hope all this helps. Happy tuning!

WORD..

Your car is wild. I commented on some of your vids before lol. I feel like the cost of fbo+flex and possibly an fp blue is reasonable to put someone right around 400whp. I'm almost all bolt ones and flex and I'm barley scraping by at 350whp, it's a fun daily but nothing "fast". I want to build it but the money isn't there yet, it's like I can afford the turbo, ewg, and tune but then I'm barley able to put money down for a transmission upgrade. Then I need to do the block as well, and that is over budget. I want more zoom zoom but need more monies :(

@@luvhcchris thank you so much! I need to work on my channel to busy to put more into it. Yah that was what happened with me. I had full bolt on and flex fuel and I think I made 340 if that on stock block so I just pulled the stock longblock and Trans. End of the story I'm 60k deep in modifications and I'm still not making what I think I should. But it's still insane power especially with anti lag

@@luvhcchris Honestly just take your time don't go past the recommended levels and save up for as long as possible. Once you get the money needed to build it you can decide then if you still want to.

Then just stay at 400 wheel if you don’t want to spend on a staged block. A stock turbo can get you 400 easily

For what gains exactly? Still slow and unreliable.

How’s the borla? I’ve been looking at that exhaust but I’m not sure if the cops down here in SoCal would give me issues over it.

Get rid of that stock intercooler and hop on flex

@@nikesbeast stock intercooler is just fine . You don't need a bigger one unless you are pushing alot

@@nikesbeast I have a Verticooler

0 60 in 60 years and engine replacement in 100k or less, totally worth it.

@@FunTimeWithSouls no flex? You could hit 400 wheel on stock turbo with e60

Have a smaller impact then ppl make it out to be. Bad engine design is whst mainly leads to these filling up repair shop parking spaces.

@@tds909 what about what I said is wrong?

Yes I've been on it for over 3 years. Don't listen to people bashing ots tunes. I had an e tune and I don't use it. This works better for me at least

@@somersfamily good to know! Thanks. My guess is those people who bash them are running all mismatched brands of parts and expecting an OTS to work for them. Who knows. I figure if i leave the car stock the parts will act as they should. Thanks for the reply!

If you ever do go stage 2(which is very noticeable) make sure you go catted. The brand really doesn’t matter. The stage 2 ots tune is meant for catted downpipes

@@benbattista5035 The people bashing OTS tunes know what OTS tunes are. They are not good as a long term solution. I've run Cobb and MAP OTS tunes and while it was better than stock, they weren't much to write home about. The problem with OTS tunes is they are generic. Your engine, at your elevation and climate is going to behave very differently than another identical engine at a different elevation, etc.... so OTS tunes are made to work with a very broad range of conditions. That means they make a LOT of compromises. After running OTS tunes and being dissatisfied we went with a grimmspeed catted jpipe, grimmspeed e port EBCS, cat back and got etuned from Torqued Performance. Completely different animal. Worth every bit of the couple thousand spent. No intakes, no BOV's (those are noise makers not power adders).

@@somersfamily If that was your experience you would be the first person I've ever seen who preferred an OTS tune over a custom etune. Are you sure you didn't buy a different tuners OTS map? Who was the etune done by and how many revisions did they take to dial in your car?

I live in Canada so this is in kms.. but I'm sure you can convert this.. I get 8.2L/100kms driving "properly" and depending how hard I go it's anywhere between 9.6L/100km and 11L/100km. Manual and stock except axleback muffler delete from MXP

@@somersfamily I'm not a particular fanboy of any make or car and do drive a wrx and from experience, it's a absolutely tragically bad car. One that requires a die with 5 spaces of luck and 1 space of spending 10s of k to make the car not a complete pile of shit. The shifting sucks, tune sucks, sound sucks, acceleration sucks, speed sucks, dit carbon b.s sucks, egr and tgv suck, understeer sucks, seating position sucks, pedal spacing sucks, throttle input (tuning) sucks, higher rpm dips suck, factory abnormal knock sucks, reliability sucks. I never drove a camaro in my life, never even sat my ass in passenger seat. Have driven mustangs, many, except the gt350, last gen gt500, this gen gt500, and everything about those is more fun, receptive to driver input, sounds better, and mostly faster. I really am starting to want to get into v8s, then I can just drive off the lot with a car that I don't have to do the equivalent of spending money in Vegas to make fast and eventually grenade motor.

@@remissiveslave it was the only car I could afford since your mom lost her job!

Don't add more power to the CVT, it can't handle the additional torque. Stick to suspension, wheels, tires etc. If you want more power, sell it and get a 6 speed.

Let me know if you find one... in banner elk looking for a tuner also

Yes, 300hp is easily attainable and reliable with quality parts!

@Faxon as much of a unreliable and disappointment these are, any fucking tune is better than factory. I'd take having it towed over stock tune.

268 bhp, 258 ft-lb torque. Yeah he made a mistake.

@@remissiveslave 200? Hmm

I am thinking buy me one why you say it’s more cons then pros ?

@@miguelcervantes3950 the transmission itself should be enough for you to not even buy this car. Especially if you’re buying one used(if your buying one used prepare yourself to spend alot of money). Second the stock tune from factory is horrible and if you buy a access port to put a decent off the shelf tune you immediately void your warranty. Which you’ll 1000% need in the future. A new wrx cost around 33-35k out the door. For 33-35k you can finance a used type r(100% better then a wrx and sometimes a sti), 2019 low mile 5.0, and maybe even a 2019 sti with low miles.

Ya that’s why you buy an sti Don’t waste the money on a wrx Just save money by buying the sti

@@blackfacegaming191 a low mile used sti sure since it’ll run you around 36-39k. But a brand new sti will run you around 47 out the day which is not worth “saving” for.
