from 13mpg Wrx to 30mpg Si

[Delro]

With my heavy foot I was getting 13mpg city on my Wrx. And with the wifes pilot getting just 18mpg on highway, we thought it was time to get a more fuel efficient, but still fun, car. The si fit the bill, and with 0% apr i pulled the trigger and got the SI.

The old scoob...

Awesome. You missing all that torque yet? Haha.

you have baby hands lol! Congrats, but you will miss the torque and turbo spool

 

[Delro]

No, mostly stock engine. just intake and exhaust. Mild drop.
Yes sirs, I miss that Torque!! Vtec sounds awsome though. Getting an intake soon to bring out that sound.

if you gonna get an intake then you will also need a flashpro and vit tune. I've had CAI on stock tune and my car was a lot slower.

Which intake was it? Was thinking of getting either the greddy momentum/takeda or the password jdm intake kit.

 

[Michal006]

I had Injen. Honestly I would get takeda or Password either. PRL CAI was the only intake that shows gains on the dyno over the stock.

What was the tiny screw for? I installed the knob but didnt see the need or use for the small screw.
