> [@Inn-Tune](#): > > STi engines are plenty overbuilt from the factory, but they’re not made with people running 10 second passes in mind. It’s a semi-closed (mostly open) deck aluminum block with extremely thin sleeves and cheap stock pistons like most manufacturer’s use. > > When you tune them carefully you can put out a lot of power for a short period of time, but for the car to be reliable for a while at high power levels, upgrading engine components is required. When I tune them to high power levels the sleeves distort gradually over time due to the heat and pressure the extra power generates, but the cheap pistons people complain about don’t crack because there’s no detonation. Eventually the bores get out of round enough that leakdown drops over time, and eventually compression will drop some, then finally the pistons would probably fail from piston to wall contact at a point where the bore has ovalized, but I haven’t had that happen to anyone yet. We catch them before that happens so the block and heads are usable for upgrading. > > For reference this starts happening around 370-500 whp on a Dynojet depending on usage and the setup of the car. You can get away with more in a street/drag application than a road course application due to the time the engine is exposed to the high temps/pressures. exactly what I was looking for thanks for the info. ---

Hey congratulations. What about the other two STis you’ve tuned that ran 13s for a couple of weeks and then broke? The built del sol that you ‘tuned’ so well it wouldn’t start? Not to be a total dick, but bragging about your 11 second passes in canada is pretty obnoxious. At least three of my friends have been fucked specifically by Mike at Innovative Tuning. ---

At least three of my friends have been fucked specifically by Mike at Innovative Tuning. You’re a fucking retard. I know several people who have been tuned by mike, and their cars run amazing. Maybe you should stop listening to BULLSHIT HEARSAY and get your fucking FACTS straight. How’s your FD running btw? Yeah, exactly. ---

> [@LZ](#): > > Hmm interesting > > Someone should start a sponsor feedback thread Pretty much, if you guys have something to say your not gonna “get banned” just for saying it, keep it civil, if your gonna be a baby about it and start namecalling/threatening then yes your asking for trouble. But please make a new thread instead of cluttering this one! ---

Wow this is totally out of the blue. Mods please move the posts to a new thread where they can tell me who they are and what they’re talking about, IF and only IF they are going to talk about firsthand experience they had at my shop. Of course they could always just pick up the phone and call us or stop by too… ---
